Big up to the one like Blend Mishkin for unleashing this remix album completely free! We were already big fans of the Mama Proud riddim , but now with remixes from the likes of Turntable Dubbers (as featured on my NICE UP! THE SESSION mix), Jstar, Grant Phabao and many more, you can't go wrong. Head over to his Bandcamp page to take advantage of the FREENESS!
Many of yous lot out there in the real world have been askin for a third volume of CD'Cut Up, Muck and Bruck Ups' (which provided some of the best of Nice Up! and Jstar bangers on compilation).
With so many undigitised Jstar tracks in the back catalogue, we thought we would let a few more out, starting with this here rough diamond, 'Unbreak My Dub', hosted on Jstar's Soundcloud

i know we just had a batch of instrumentals- but i had to post this one too!
for the first time poland is steppin' up the instrumental section- make room for foka.
«just a crate digger, daily smoker and beatmaker from Łódź, poland. the title for this instrumental material was born in my head over a year ago, as a tribute to one of my all-time favorite lp's.
I wanted to make it a short instrumental ep and ended up with these 10 tracks, all of them based on samples from obscure jazz records and movie soundtracks.
the whole thing was made on akai s950/mpc2000xl combo and mixed at home.
a really dope 10-track lp for your listening pleasure. i'm sure we will hear more from him in the near future. he just worked together with digi crates and announced a 7" with a polish mc. he's only 19 years old. respect.
Banging new mix from Bristol's Dub Boy bringing some rowdy carnival vibes with exclusives from Mungos Hi Fi, Addison Groove, The Heatwave and many more.

As a bonus, he's also giving away a brand new blend of Mr Vegas Lexxus with an unreleased Mungo's riddim, coming off like a lost 80s classic - check it!

Yes, the day has finally come - the first Monkey Mafia single in 13 years is finally released! Being massive fans back in the day (we're showing our age now!) we were thrilled to sign this new material, which places Jon Carter & Co back in the midst of the UKs finest producers. The cover is a reference to the debut album "Shoot The Boss", updated with a snap taken from the recent London riots (which is roughly the time the track was signed). The 7" vinyl contains a remix from Mr Benn, who also designed the sleeve, as well as an exclusive acapella version - not available anywhere else! You can but a copy from Juno, Piccadilly, Rough Trade, Phonica, Chemical, HMV and all the usual places.
Bit of a comic aside - when he received the test pressings, Mr Carter couldn't find a working turntable in his house so ventured down to his local pub to ask if he could use their decks to check it out. It just happens that his local pub is a very popular lesbian bar - cue 10 minutes or so of very confusing dancefloor mayhem!
