Its actually been a lil while since we did a Just House. Reason being is we wanted to make sure it was going in the right direction. We do love a bit of Funky House don’t get me wrong, but its quickly been taken into a direction we aren’t really happy to follow as much these days. We love what people like Marcus Nasty is playing, that right combination of Deep, Soulful and a few uplifting bangers in between with a cheeky hint of MC for those sing-a-long moments.
Right, for starters Rossi B & Luca are the baddest of bad and by far the best DJ tag team in this country. Though Rossi is my boy i say that as a DJ as well as a Gooner. They have (9 months later…! Slacking isn’t the word!) finally released their first mix of 2009 and though its 9 months late it still puts most mixes to shame. With their classic style of no style they play anything and everything from Funky House, Old Skool Garage, Dubstep. Drum & Bass and more along side the odd cut of Luca’s scratching.
Now im very sure this mix will cause some controversy amongst the whats ‘Dubstep’ whats not ‘Dubstep’ debate. Its just a one off special called POP! Goes Dubfluencial which focuses on some of the more commercial tracks that have had the ‘Dubstep/Bass’ make over. Some consider these tunes to cheapen the true roots and sounds of Dubstep. Whats yours?. I love Dubstep not, just because its all about hard bass etc but the fact its turned into something no other Genre has managed to really do. Your allowed, with or without scrutiny to produce what you want and still have the same audiences appreciation.
Big love to all who has been hyping, emailing and biggin up the latest Dubfluencial! Its even more crazy to see how far and wide the mixes have reached. Remember you will be able to catch me live DJ’ing in a city near you very soon.
I feel sad and quite shameful because many have emailed asking have we gone and left the Ego Thieves ship and sailed away on our ship full of songs. This my good friends is not the case. Its been the Summer (Well as much as a British Summer permits!) and during this time many of us are just way too busy. With myself doing many secret projects which in the next few months will all finally be revealed along side lots of BBQs and deep fried halloumi.
Its nearly that time again! Can’t believe its been a year since the last Carnival special… time is no joke. August is usually my fav month of the year. Not because its my Birthday 🙂 but because the Sun is usually shining and it remind me of those badman days of 6 weeks holidays. Well if like me your reministant of those past days, Urban Nerds is the best place to relive that fun but with allot more bass! With legends MJ Cole & DJ Zinc doing some big sets, there’s also the return of Mumdance, Mampi Swift and allot more. At a secret East London venue soon to be revealed and early bird tickets going for just £8 you can buy here. You would be dumb to miss it. Wurd.
