Served up by Sir Barry of Ashworth himself, this dubs up the pieces nicely. Exclusive to this blog, grab your free 320 below!

Love To Dub You - Monkey Mafia Edit by Monkey Mafia

Information Critic

Second release from the all-new NICE UP! Records...and just to remind you...we've gone legit! That's right, we're on the straight and narrow and have decided to not release any more mash-ups on the label and focus on pushing real artists, all still with that NICE UP! flavour, such as The Nextmen single from earlier this year. We've got a HEAP of new music in the pipeline from people such as Monkey Mafia, Mr Benn, Turntable Dubbers & The Dirty Dubsters, as well as some up-and-coming producers that we're expecting big things from.

First up, here's a massive tune from Black Samurai featuring Daddy Freddy & The Ragga Twins from a few years back (you can still cop the original 12" here), with some new remixes for 2011. Benny Page, Jstar & The Heavy all do the business on this release, which is sure to be bunnin up a dancefloor near you soon.

Let us know what you think...

STARS DUB

David Cox is an artist who makes fantastic pieces heavily informed by his musical passion for reggae and dub. A lot of his pieces are based on specific tracks or albums, and his work has a wonderful vibrancy and rawness that perfectlty conveys the energy and vibe of the music. He's recentlly been working with Mr Benn on an ongoing project based on 'Stars' by Cornell Campbell which is his favourite track of all time. Mr Benn has recreated the Stars riddim for this project and David has made a beautiful stop frame animation of his work inspired by the tune to accompany Mr Benn's dub version. Check the video here and watch this space for further developments within the project...

Murda style

We've just spotted this banging new Outlook mix from our man in BCN, Jacky Murda. Consisting of purely his own productions, plus those alongside Max Powa as Jing Bong Ting, it shows why he's a producer thats on everyones lips at the moment. Not wanting to miss out on the action, we've just bagged a remix from him for a forthcoming tune on NICE UP!...watch this space, but for now just watch the ride....

Out On The Streets...

As the burning and looting continues on the streets of our countries capital, some of the ramifications of the last few days actions are starting to hit home. The SONY/PIAS warehouse in Enfield was burned to the ground, along with many independent labels entire stock (full list of labels here). Amongst them were finished copies of the forthcoming "Battle For Seattle" album of Nirvana covers by Little Roy (produced by Prince Fatty).

As a blog who serves up plenty of free music, we're urging all of our readers to support UK independent labels today and pre-order this releases digitally (as well as any others you fancy from the list above). Without income from such sales, many of these releases may physically not happen, as many small labels simply cannot bounce back from such a loss.

Big shout to everyone who has been affected by this mindless violence on the streets. We're not going to start a discussion here, but are hoping for a sense of calm to return soon.

Puerto Rico

Great response to this edit I knocked up - ran out of downloads in less than 24 hours, so I'm posting it up here too. Basically its a re-edit of a remix of Daniel Haaksman's "Puerto Rico". The original is a banger itself, but someone going by the name of Neki Stranac has chopped it up into a crazy moombahton affair. I've added a DJ friendly intro, more shouting, a bit of siren and a few chops and turns.
