Much Respect

Big ups everyone that came out for the Downlink show at Sugar Nightclub last Saturday! I haven't had that much fun playing a set in a long time. Really stoked to see everyone feelin' the post-dubstep, funky, and juke sounds - especially the juke sounds! I ain't got no shoes on! Also a big ups to Jon Outsider, Downlink from Rottun Recordings, Lars from Innergroove, Longwalkshortdock, Mite from Embassy Recordings, and my gorgeous other-half, Katey. Keep it locked for more big tings to come! Next up is Grime Machine v18 at the Sunset Room, 14 October. Boom!

Also be sure to checkout some choice cuts from Eprom, Salva, DJG, and Wheez-ie on the same compilation. Grab Surreal Estate now on Frite Nite.

Some freeness from one of my favourite producers, Salva. 808s, synth stabs, and a cut up hip-hop vocal - just how I like it. Download via XLR8R.

Salva - That Girl (Pharrell ft. Snoop Dogg) [Free Download]

Some free refix business from future bass don, Salva. 'That Girl' gets a solid rework with 808 juke drums, synth stabs, and some detuned pad work. Good ish. The entire Pop Massacre 2 LP is available for free from FoF Music.

Prison Garde - Système Hermès [Free Download]

Via sub|division:

As Prison Garde, Squire has brought a gritty, tough sensibility to Vancouver’s dancefloors. His tunes have been receiving proper rinsage from a who’s who of North American club wreckers: Low Limit, Jacques Greene, Lunice, Monolithium among many others. Much of Prison Garde’s tunes are 808-driven, but his beats are far from traditional trap-rap clones. Phasing through multiple tempos, Prison Garde is capable of taking a d-flo from low-slung funk groove all the way to a dirty, sexed-up disco grind, all with original material. And now it’s all here, for FREE, including his slammin’ 808 edit of The Weeknd’s “What You Need”.

Download via MediaFire.

Okibi - The Truth Is Out There [Free Download]

Anyone who grew up in the 90's will know where I got the sample for this one. Some 120bpm 808 bass business I banged out this afternoon. Eyes down in the darkness kinda' vibes. Free download via SoundCloud.

Krampfhaft - Spit Thunder

To be honest, I hadn't heard of Krampfhaft until I stumbled across his Spit Thunder EP release. Some interesting juke business coming out of the Netherlands. The title track reminds me a lot of Distal's style. Good use of vocal samples, phat low end, and some nice 808 drum work. Available now on Saturate Records.
