You are going to need sixteen and a half minutes, some big speakers, and a 40 please. This mix was made for Mary Anne Hobbes on BBC Radio 1, but it was too good to let die there. It's chock full of their tunes & some layered acapellas that will make you want to wave that 40 and worship the sun. Oh happy day, future bass music. The partnership consists of MartyParty and Ooah of Glitch Mob fame.  The boys at Marine Parade we're good enough to let me hear their first release which you can be rocking as early as tomorrow.  Listening to it I knew I was hearing the beginning of something large.  Beba is the first track on the mix there which I've probably listened to 20 times now, definitely in rotation. For some reason they put a ridiculously sick 32 count on the end, loopers delight. Get Money is equally impressive, an emotional thug epic with enough bassline for even the hardest . As mentioned June 6 2009 is the release of the first single Beba / Get Money, and July 7 we'll see the rest of the goods when they release their debut album. Holler if ya hear me..............

I'm pretty new to the Dubstep realm myself so it's hard to get into too much technical detail, Our first Dubstep mix, this one is a half and half. The first twenty-seven or so minutes you get a mix from Hecca. Next up Max Power. I'm pretty new to the Dubstep realm myself so it's hard to get into too much technical detail, but this mix is solid throughout. Mind warping bass in your face from front to back, it's unrelenting... in a good way.  Hecca has been into the genre for quite a while now, producing some sick tracks to boot.  Our own Max Power is showing some versatility as of late, as any true lover of music should.  Got a new electro mix from him coming up pretty quick. Enough psycho babble for now. Get your bass on.

This mix does not disappoint.  Curtis Porter has that smooth mixing style I love, and he is very versatile. He can seamlessly weave a tapestry of sounds, then just sneak up on you and drop a bomb. It's about time for a tech house fix innit?  I stray but I can't wander long.  I'm not sure what it is, maybe that I'm just incredibly cool... or maybe it is the water, but a large percentage of my friends are good DJs.  Not just DJs, I mean really amazing selectors.  Curtis has always been one of my favorites so when he dropped this gem in my inbox I felt like a kid on Christmas waiting for the time to give it a proper listen. Curtis Porter has that smooth mixing style I love, and he is very versatile. He can seamlessly weave a tapestry of sounds, then just sneak up on you and drop a bomb.  He has the tools in his shed and he is not afraid to use them.  Everybody give it up for good DJs!  There is so much back scratching and bull-shittery™ that on an average night out, you could be subjected to any number of horrors... Meanwhile a silent assassin like Mr. Porter sits untouched.  What a tragedy. Let's start demanding good music, not just that guy who booked that other guy that one time.  There is so much more to being good at this craft than being a promoter.  For now, you'll have to enjoy this in your place of residence, or maybe in your car on your way to aforementioned club night. Hell just email Curtis, apparently he has a club in his casa. Turn it up to eleven.

Sunday Sessions Episode One... This mix is seriously a must. I know I tell you all of the mixes are good, cause you know what they are. I don't post everything I come across. I do work so you can just enjoy something interesting and quality. So even though I hype every mix, I gotta tell you this one is pretty amazing. In fifty-nine and a half minutes we cover 66 tracks and not once did I feel like I needed ADD treatment. Impressive feat no matter who you are... Little Orphan Orange came to me from a good friend in Seattle. I've known James Stevens since the late nineties, and he has always been ridiculously good at DJ'ing. From selection to execution solid all day long. I have fond memories of the living room at his house, dominated by the sound setup. Any day of the week, bet he was thinking outside the box and keeping me on my toes. This is a two man mix, Peter Schott is the other half of Clobber... I don't have a link yet for either of them but you can contact them through this site for now. These guys are in Seattle and they played this mix when they opened for Milanese and Cyrus. I know it was 2 men, 3 1200's and a Rane mixer, which is their normal setup as far as I know. About the mix, not easy to wrangle into few words... First off it is best ingested whole, and it evolves very well, rolling effortlessly from track to track, it has a very hip/trip-hop vibe for the first chapter... They lift you up somewhere in the middle seemingly just to bring you back down with some drama and dub-step. Here's where some big speakers come in handy, cause I'm telling you it sounds completely different than your computer speakers (got one of those little subwoofers?). Anyway burn and play at full volume elsewhere if necessary. That just details the first half, I'll leave a little to the imagination. Check it out.

I came across this mix a week ago, and instantly shot off an email to see if I could share it with you. Mr. Dinsdale was more than happy to oblige. So here we have it, Richard Dinsdale's second mix for October. This mix explains that Ministry of Sound residency, club thumping, thick and engaging throughout. I won't list his slew of accomplishments, I'll just say listen to the mix, even better go listen to his production work. Honestly that's how I know him crunchy, teched-out, precise bangers. He has a unique sound and you can always count on quality. As I type this I only have a 96kbps file for the mix, which kills me because otherwise it's amazing (yes I'm a nerd). For those of you who want to turn it up I've got a email in.

It's all too easy to wax lyrical about his Ministry Of Sound residency, his genre bending productions or his rapid rise to the top of house music's well spread table. But where's the fun in that? Of course Richard's one of the UK house music's recent heroes. You wouldn't be reading this if he wasn't. What you need to know is why he is where he is. And why this time next year he'll be even further. | myspace.com (http://www.myspace.com/richarddinsdale) | toolroomrecords.com (http://www.toolroomrecords.com/artists/richard-dinsdale) | Richard Dinsdale yes http://thefunkykind.com/2008/10/mike-balance-blast-this-2008/ http://thefunkykind.com/2008/10/mike-balance-blast-this-2008/#comments Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:23:21 +0000 Brooklyn http://thefunkykind.com/?p=555 http://thefunkykind.com/2008/10/mike-balance-blast-this-2008/feed/ 3 Mike Balance, House, Electro House, DJ, Electronica, Tech House Ok, I'm really excited about this one!

I've heard every mix this guy has done in the last decade, he always brings it to the table, but this is my favorite mix he's done in a while. For the uninitiated Mike Balance is an amazing Producer / DJ, working closely with the In Stereo crew to churn out some massive tunes for the dancefloor. Back in 1997, Mike was my first favorite DJ! Then under the moniker Ishy K, he always brought that funky house flavor. Even after trance took over I could always count on him to bring me the music I needed to hear in those dirty warehouse days. Ahhh nostalgia. Anyway, since then he has grown into a world class producer and still remains one of the coolest guys I know. (http://thefunkykind.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/mb_blast_this_banner_web.jpg) This mix starts off with a great remix of "The Geeks Were Right", and wastes no time getting to the face ripping, bass line madness. This mix is pure Electro House, 100% what's hot and right now. I'm pretty picky when it comes to this stuff, because there are so many DJs out there that just follow trends without regard for taste... this mix is a great example of a DJ who knows who he is, and can go there and keep it really natural and real. This music is so fresh I couldn't even get a track list, so let's play name that tune. In the comments leave posts with time and track name if you know it. And Mike said for anyone who really wants to know, just ask him. No Track List Available Includes tracks and remixes by: The Faint, Global Deejays, Wolfgang Gartner, Twocker, Dabruck & Klein, DJ Kue, Phonat, Mike Balance and more! Bio Mike has been DJing for over 14 years and has been involved with electronic music production even longer. In the past few years alone his remixes and originals have appeared on labels such as In Stereo, Hatrax, Solmatic and Audacious. Mike's tracks have hit the top ten hot sellers on both Beatport.com and Dancerecords.com in addition to landing on the charts of DJ Dan, Richard Vission, Angel Alanis, Charles Feelgood and Vitamin D to name a few.

Sander Kleinenberg, Adam Beyer & Trent Cantrelle were there to round it out. Not a terrible lineup... We arrived pretty early and immediately I was stuck in the main room. This guy I had never seen or heard was massaging a ridiculous system with some tech house. It was also my first time at Avalon, which I think is an amazing club. I had a hard time staying on the terrace, the main rooms setup just so inviting and bumpy. As the night went on this was the set that stuck in my head. Trent captained that room like a pro. Building the energy and emotion, really setting up the night for the rest of the crew...

This mix is a funked out trip from experimental noise, to soulful house. Bacchus our expert guide, allows just enough time to enjoy each texture before exploring the next. From beginning to end, you're kept on your toes and somehow it flows... violent and beautiful. I've know Tim for many moons, he too is a part of the OG Boise family. We took a road trip together for NYE 1999 that I will never forget. The journey, the acid-ccident, Carl Cox & hot garbage.... it's a long story but I'll tell you this. He is good people, and a stunning talent. Oh, and yeah he has a pretty nice ass too. That never hurts.
