Mixpak FM: Nadastrom

July 20th, 2010

Nadastrom turned in a huge remix for Melé’s Bombay EP, so we thought we’d tap ‘em for our second Mixpak FM podcast. Needless to say, they went deep and delivered an hour of the freshest Moombahton and dancehall, giving us a big mix for the summer. Catch the vibe.

25 Years of Dancehall

March 28th, 2010

The Heatwave is back at it a with a big mix commemorating 25 years of digital dancehall. This is a must listen history lesson.

Last month marked the 25th anniversary of the day that Wayne Smith’s Under Me Sleng Teng was first played in a dance. Tuesday 23rd February to be exact.

To celebrate the 25th birthday of digital dancehall we looked back over the last quarter century of this brilliant music and had a quick party on our Rinse FM show. It was mad to look at how things have developed over two and a half decades.

DJ Koyote Freaks & Geeks Mix Cover

Parisian hotshot DJ Koyote has done an impressive mix to promote his upcoming appearance at Belguim’s own Freaks & Geeks party. There’s no tracklist, but Koyote explains.

I’m happy to play at the Freaks & Geeks party in Brussels Friday, 23rd and the promoters asked me if I could do a promo mix. So I undust my decks and grabbed a few UK garage/2 step and acid house records and record this one. Enjoy !

Renaissance Man Mix For Sixpack France

September 2nd, 2009

Renaissance Man

Finnish duo Ville and Martti are probably better known to you as Renaissance Man and they’ve made it their mission to bring House music back in a gigantic, fresh way for 2009. In the last six months, they have racked up some stellar releases on Dubsided, Kitsune and Sound Pellegrino, helping revitalize a genre that was hurting for new sounds.

We’ve tapped Renaissance Man to remix Sissy Nobby’s upcoming Mixpak release “Lay Me Down” which should be out by late October. You’ll be hearing much more about Nobby in coming months, but there’s an awesome introduction to the New Orleans Sissy Bounce genre in this XLR8R article. If you want to hear a overview of the genre, I’d advise Dre Skull’s excellent Sissy Bounce Mix for XLR8R.

More details about the Nobby release coming soon, but listen to this jackin’ house mix Renaissance Man did for Sixpack France which they filled with exclusive Renaissance Man bootcuts and re-edits, including a sneak peak of their forthcoming Sissy Nobby remix . Sixpack is also offering an exclusive Renaissance Man inspired t-shirt which you can grab here! Update: I have one, and it is awesome.
