Radio tings

Got a couple of treats selected from the shows from the last few days, we have DM doing his normal J-Tek bizniz (check the Strangerollers remix of Lucas - Reign towards the end, its going to be huge!). If that wasn't enough, we've got Runnin Man guesting on Kidsons weekly show, its been too long since Dan has done a set for us, well worth checking out.

Paradise Circus

So the first tune to do the rounds off the new Massive Attack album is wicked, I think Heligoland is my favourite album from them since Blue Lines. The tune, Paradise Circus has amazing vocals by Hope Sandoval, and if you've not heard it you should look it up. But I'm here to talk about remixes today..

First up, Gui Boratto continuing to demonstrate why he's such a force in the techno world at the moment, i.e. impeccably classy and understated remixes of great tunes:

Massive Attack - Paradise Circus feat. Hope Sandoval (Gui Boratto Remix) by lucidonline

Next up is a dubstep/breaks crossover refix courtesy of Breakage, continuing the trend for more bass-heavy breaks (or breakbeat influenced dub, depending on your view!) this one is lush, can see this getting a lot of play in dubstep sets (ala Skreams' La Roux remix)

this one has been made available a freebie (and legal) 320k mp3, so you've got no excuse not to grab it.  Download

Aems - Ruthless

Nu-rave.com friend, and all round sound guy Aems has got a freebie for you all:



(Stream, or 320k mp3/FLAC/Ogg for download) 

Its a sick piece of bass heavy junglist breakbeat, and well worth the DL. We've got loads more tunes and updates coming up this week, so keep checking back.

Hardcore Lives

So after a weekend of the usual quality output from the nu-rave radio dj's (check the next update for the links), I thought i'd share some of the vast quantity of free tunes available on www.hardcorelives.co.uk. The gents over at HCL are stalwarts of the scene, with a label that consistently releases some of the better bits around, and a great community in the forums. To top it all they have a huge amount of random freebies, mixes and cheeky bootlegs for your listening pleasure, a very small selection of which you can find below.

First up we have a cheeky reworking of classic mid 90s trancer Binary Finary, originally by 1998. This has got a nice wobbly bassline/speedgarage vibe to it courtesy of the Warp Brothers.

In a simmilar bootleg vein, heres DJ Nee's mix of oldskool classic 4AM, this one has a lot more of the vocal, combined with some pianos that give this a very euphoric vibe. Download (320k mp3)

Finally we have a couple of fantastic releases from one of the most prolific producers currently knocking out nu-rave/oldskool influenced breaks in the shape of RichieK, who under his own name, plus Strange Rollers/Agent Strange and Range Rollers (when collaborating to make more house styled stuff) continues to impress. 

First up is the Affordable Breaks EP, I'd advise checking out Spacecrafts and Gangster Breaks.

Second is the Far Out EP, this is only two tracks but those two more than make up for it, with a collab. with Lt Wharf and one of my favourite tunes I've heard over the last twelve months U Got 2, which is a slice of uplifting and foot-stomping bizniz.
