This month’s Mixpak Chart is chosen by Brighton producer Murlo, known for his high-tempo roadmixes and knockin’ tropical productions. We asked him for his current top ten and, not surprisingly, it’s filled with soca, dancehall and brand new bass-filled tracks.
1. Rudy ft. Machel Montano – Whip It (Remix)
Monster track form Rudy and Machel. This has been a staple track in my sets for months, amazing production.
2. The Phantom – Gothic
Just a beautiful track. Vinyl released 16th Jan.
3.Kerwin Du Bois – Bacchanalist
Another important soca tune for 2012, from Precision Productions, the guys behind this year’s Redbull Riddim and last year’s groovy soca monarch winner, Kes and the band – Wotless. Domination!
4. Walter Ego – Fruit Punch
Sheffield fire from the man who produced my favourite grime tune of last year “Calm Down”. This is forthcoming on Unknown to the Unknown in the near future so keep an eye out.
5. Warrior One – Fyah ft. Ayah Marar
Always been a fan of Warrior One’s stuff, this recent release pushes things ahead with some nice 140 jungle, watch for King Pigeon this year!
6. Shurwayne Winchester – Wining Addiction
Big Soca release for 2012, I think Shurwayne has got some heat this year so it’s a name you’re gonna see a lot.
7. NKC – Err’thing (ripped from Rinse FM)
New forthcoming fire from London producer NKC, some great influences in this track, it tears up the dance ERR’YTIME! (i’ll get my coat)
8. Sinjin Hawke – The Ballad of Martyn Bootyspoon
This guy’s whole release is great, this track stands out, I’ve got a thing for ballads.
9. T.O.K – Yardie
The award for the shortest time between a track starting and it needing to be pulled up goes to this.
10. Busy Signal – Bounce
I fully rate what Equinoxx are doing with dancehall music, this riddim isn’t an exception.
