Madman Inna Dis



I've heard quite a lot of Slick Don's "Inna Dis" so far this year and despite some wicked remixes, there aren't many I would play out so I decided to grab the acapella and make one of my own. It's a simple refix, laying it on top of Redlight's MDMA riddim from last year (better known as "What You Talking About?"), but it drops big! I Feel free to grab it from my Soundcloud page below..

Limit To Your Love



Just in from mash-up maestro and Plymouth's 14th best DJ Aldo Vanucci is a very nice 'remix' of everyone's big tip for 2011, James Blake. The original has been doing the rounds on the blogs since last year and had thrust Mr Blake into the media spotlight as well as now being tipped for mainstream success. Vanucci's re-rub basically plonks it on top of Joker's "City Hopper" from a few years back to give it that bit more drop for playing out - and very nice it is too! Available here exclusively in 320, grab it now:

After Laughter...



First proper post of the new year, but actually a tune we received at the very end of 2010...and another banger from Pupa Albo! Riding the classic After Laughter (Comes Tears) by Wendy Rene that was first ripped by RZA all those many moons ago, Alborosie does another great job of updating a classic in his own style. Check it...
