With a piano sample seemingly lifted from my favourite house song of all time Pete Heller’s Big Love, this stomping classic house tracks gets a vocal kick Bizarre Inc’s ‘I’m Gonna Get You’. Basically a load of good stuff thrown together with that classic LOL Boys feel, the guys even put this track in the ‘Feel Good’genre on their soundcloud.
Mixpak fam Schlachthofbronx have been locked up in the studio preparing their brand new full length, Dirty Dancing, for Disko B records. This is the first double A-side release from the album, with ‘Slowine’ and ‘Dickie Riddim feat. Warrior Queen’ (we’d been wondering where WQ had gone, and glad she’s back), and needless to say it’s a bomb. Pre-order it now.
A roundup of this week’s choice twitter posts from Mixpak artists, remixers and extended family.

In early January, Mixpak released its first Popcaan single, the Dre Skull produced “Get Gyal Easy” which was immediately playlisted by BBC 1Xtra as part of their Hot 20 for 2012 feature and has been getting pulled up on Zip FM in Kingston.
Today, we’re very excited to announce that Popcaan has signed a merchandising deal with Mixpak for a series of t-shirts, hats and more. Our first collaboration is the “Popcaan – Get Gyal Easy” t-shirts which are available for pre-order from the Mixpak Shop now.
Any retail outlets that are interested in carrying these shirts or future Popcaan products, please get in touch with us at info@mixpakrecords.com.
Dubbel Dutch has put his hand to yet another remix of an RnB hit, this time melding the young Mishon’s ‘Excuse Me Mama’ with a dancehall/reggaeton inspired beat. While you’re at it, check out the latest uploads onto Dubbel Dutch’s soundcloud. Watch out for Dubbel Dutch’s next Mixpak release coming soon.
Our man Douster delivered a fresh new house mix for France’s Radio Nova, with Mike Q, Bambounou and Sinden amongst the tracklist.
