It finally happened…. and a day early to boot! Not given it a proper listen through yet but I do like ‘Lotus Flower’ and the accompanying video. Also in my news, long-time friend of the blog Hostage sent over his new track and it kicks and bumps in all the right places…. then decides to slap you in the face with its huge clubby balls. Dope! Finally, just finished watching Spaced again and this Lemon Jelly song rounds off what is probably one of my favourite TV programs ever. DANCE COLIN! DANCE FOR ME!

What I like about Hostage is that he tries his hand at different styles and doesn’t just sit in his comfort zone. Case in point is ‘Sweet Sweet Riddim’ a Prodigy-style rave-a-thon. Impossible not to do the laptop headbop while this is on! APPROVED!

1. I don’t usually like stuff like this but the epic drop on this Skrillex remix is dastardly

2. This D.I.M. track is BR00T4L

3. When the piano thumps in and rides the groove into the distance I feel like I’ve arrived. Great work Radion & Mamarella.

These snaps were taken at 30 Rock (i.e. the GE Building at the Rockefeller Center) on our first night in NYC. Safe to say my mind was blown. I’ll show you the one I took of the Empire State Building another time.

Dem Slackers lucked out on the remixes – pretty much all of them are excellent, I’ve posted most of them below. HUGE drops. Bart B More keeping up the high quality, Evil Nine keeping the late 80s/early 90s rave vibe going, and Clouds pretty much just obliterating what speaker I had left after the previous ones.
