Roots Vibration

WOAAAH! Got some treats in-store for you today! First track up is by Mista Men... with a Funky, Housey Garage tune called 'Need'. The first half make you think ahh nice chilled track.. then pretty much half way through drops in and just makes you boogie along! SICK track!! Mista Men are really making waves in the world of music right now! Check...

Mista Men - Need by Mista Men

Secondly.. Probably my favourite track of the moment! Just love the dubby dub beat and reggae vocals! Big up to Ruckspin and to Jack Sparrow for another banging remix, its getting to the point where you just know his tunes are going to be sick.. before you have even listened! BIG TUNE!

Jack Sparrow + Dom Ruckspin feat Ras Spear -Roots Vibration by J.Sparrow (dubstep)

Lastly its a banger from Flux Pavillion... going back to something that is just a bit more typically Dubstep, instead of  the Garagey stuff that we have been focusing on for a while.. and WHAT a track it is too! 'I Can't Stop' listening!

PUSHING RED

Ok, so here goes my first post...

Was scanning through Soundcloud, and stumbled upon these two amazing tracks both being released on American based Record label Pushing Red in March 2011.

These two tracks are the 006 release of the label bringing some ridiculously Fresh clean vibes to the Future Garage scene.

The release consists of two tracks... The first, a Sub Destroying, Atmospheric Banger from the man himself...Synkro.

Synkro - Viewpoint - Red006 by Pushing Red

As well as this track having Synkro's trademark Rolling crisp beats, Pounding bassline and Thoroughly relaxing Atmosphere and Pitched vocals, it also has soul and emotive power, creating a remarkably enjoyable track.

Ive got to give a massive big ups to Synkro on this track, it will keep me relaxed for hours!

The Second track Being Released on the 006 of Pushing Red is a Collaboration between Synkro and Milton Keynes based Producer Versa .

Synkro & Versa - Untitled - Red006 by Pushing Red

This track, whilst having some Breathtaking samples linking each bit of the progressive, hard hitting beat together, are side-chained to perfection, allowing the lowest of all subs to come through creating an extremely well rounded track.

The Cut-up vocals and Side-chained Synths helping emphasize The transition from Kick to snare making this track an ear tingling Masterpiece.

Expect great things from Pushing Red in the future as there previous releases are hitting if not topping the bench mark.

Once again i've got to give a massive big ups to Synkro and Versa for these Two releases!

BIG UP!

Peace

Boots 'N' Cats Blog Exclusive Mix #3 by D-Warrior on Mixcloud

Mahni is another local who has recently produced a new track for the first time in like 9 months. Maybe he went into hibernation or had a baby i don't know but whatever he was doing I'm sure it helped him fine tune his music making skills because this is tight! Brilliant progression throughout with a climax towards the end using a lovely sample. I am certain that he knows what the sound of 2011 is going to be all about. 

Sing by Mahni


Lastly i just want to give everybody a heads up on something that is going to be posted later on in the week.

Boots n' Cats will be searching through our favourites in order to make a round up of what we are feeling at the moment.

The other one is a remix of the newly released cover of Elton John's 'Your Song' by Ellie Goulding. This song could potentially make an awesome remix! Anyway..... this is the best one I've found so far... remixed by Blackmill.

Free the Robots!

You know those tunes you absolutely rinse, then after a while you almost forget about them because something newer comes along. Then one day you stumble across it again..and you think... why, how did I stop listening to this! Well thats exactly what happen to me with this one! Called 'Orion's Belt Buckle' by Free the Robots.

Its also a Download!!

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

Neighbourhood Watch introduces to you Fredo featuring Small Talk. Currently in Bournemouth the producer and lyricist have given us a hip hop track which really sets the bar for things to come. Considering it's their first fully finished project since i first heard the beginnings of Fredo's venture into producing, the progress these lads are making is phenomenal! 'Le Viuex' is short and most certainly sweet, embodied throughout by subtle vocals and Small Talk's lines. I'm sure they have plenty of other treats in the pipeline. So grab your Download here

Le vieux ft. Small Talk by Fredo.

Extra - Dark Sky's new remix of Kelis is sublime. Once i had heard the intro (which is so smooth!) i knew we had struck gold. It seems that everytime i hear something new, my expectations rise for what i will hear next time, so no pressure!

Kelis - Brave (Dark Sky Remix) 96kbs by Dark Sky

Extra Extra - I seriously suggest you listen to a lot of stuff by C.R.S.T, but this one im deadly serious about! After i listened to this i went over to Juno to buy it. The buildup on 'What You Do To Me' up until the end, made my jaw drop. THIS IS ONE FOR THE SUBS.

We Talked

...Here is the second post of the evening! .. So that Gold Panda bloke I posted about the other day.. pretty good isn't he! ..So I got a couple more of his tracks for you! They are called 'Before We Talked' and 'After We Talked' , they are off his fantastic album 'Lucky Shiner' released in Oct 2010...I'd quite happily post all of it!

And Secondly.. a shout out to Admin for going on at me to get the Mount Kimbie 'Crooks and Lovers' album! I finally did... what a masterpiece... again like the Gold Panda album.. I would be happy putting the whole album up! So much so it actually took me the best part of 45 mins to decide which 2 songs from the album I was going to chose to post! But anyway, after much self debate I decided to go with 'Field' and 'Before I move Off'. But if you havent already.. make sure you listen to the whole album!
...can be found on iTunes, Beatport or to listen free on SoundCloud.

Shark Baby

This is a really nice tune I found today! Its called 'Haifischbaby' which is German for Sharkbaby. Its sung by the French singer Isabelle Geneviève Marie Anne Gall aka France Gall... even though the song is in German.... This version is a Hickup Bootleg. Its a really nice chillout tune, hope u like.. 

FRANCE GALL - HAIFISCHBABY (HICKUP BOOTLEG) - JACKMODE EXCLUSIVE by Jackmode

Next up is something of a contrast to France Gall, its a track by Skrillex. He is know for doing anything from Dubstep, Post-hardcore, Metalcore, Electronica, Alternative Dance, Electro to House music.. so pretty board. Reason I posted this is because I like the way it glides from smooth vibes to thumping dubstep...

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Danny Don
THIS SONG HAS A SOUNDCLOUD DOWNLOAD TOO!

There is another post to come tonight.. so watch out !

You. Me.

Well...tonight I have got four tunes for you to enjoy!..

First up... I would like to play Fractal Son's Dubstep Remix of Ace of Base's 'All That She Wants'. I really like the slow grooving beat and then the drop into the choppy wub wub bassline.


Download: All That She Wants (Fractal Son Dubstep Remix) - Ace of Base

Camel

The second post of tonight (or technically morning) ... as promised!

... As always im into multiple genres at any one moment in time... but at the moment I am really liking ambient stuff! So therefore this post is dedicated to a couple of Ambient tunes I liking right now!

First up is a song by Flying Lotus and the song is a Nosaj Thing Remix... it is called Camel. Enjoy!

Flying Lotus - Camel (Nosaj Thing remix) by truant


Second up is a tune released around march this year, but came across it again today and thought it was worth a post! Its called The Gift (Tek-One Remix) by Way Out West.. whos version was originally released in 1996.. Tek-One has done a nice job here..

MUD

Hello, this is the first of two fairly quick posts Im giving you tonight! This one being a bit of a blast into the past!!! .... The next one being something a bit more recent!

This one came too me when I was thinking too myself today... what a shame it was that Mary Anne Hobbs, left her post at the BBC after 14 years.. back in July this year! She was a true Radio 1 hero! Bringing us the best in Dubstep, Grime, Drum n' Bass, Techno and Experimental musics!

Anyway first tune is called Mud V.I.P (feat Sgt. Pokes) - Loefah. It featured on her Warrior Dubz Album! Love it!




And.. Secondly is song Remix by Loefah, by The Bug. I know she would have liked and even played it.... with its dubby darks vibes and ragga grime vocals!




BTW.. Hello December!
