Make Some Noise

The first single from Beastie Boys’ upcoming 8th studio album, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, which is scheduled for a May release. This piece of organ-driven funk is the best thing I’ve heard from them for years and years - reminds me of their glory days. Good to have the Boys back.

What You Need

The Weeknd are an R&B group that have recently taken the internet by storm - I didn’t think we would get a remix/edit this quick, but we have, and it’s by someone I respect very highly. Adam Port is a tech-house producer/DJ from Berlin, and has taken my favourite track from their mixtape and made it into a groovy jam that wouldn’t sound out of place in any club.

U Can Do It Baby

Here is a spectacular new house track courtesy of A1 Nicholas. Not sure if it could ever better the original, but my god he did one hell of a job in trying. George Benson is one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the earth and this is one hell of a tribute. Listen to the original HERE and buy this absolute jam HERE. Real music.

Summer Soul Mix

Last year when I first heard this I wasn’t too familiar with the name Baller B, but over the past 12 months he has become a good friend of mine, and as many of you already know, has become the tour DJ for Example. This mix is everything that I love about soulful house and is a showcase of his exceptional DJ skills. With a little help from his friend Lucas The Beatbox, this is the most perfect mix for beach parties, BBQs or any summer party you’re at this year. You can download below and catch the tracklist after the jump. My new mix will be here in the next two weeks, promise.

Jehst Is Definitely My Postman

Visuals for a new Jehst track, with a ridiculous amount of very clever cameos. One of the best videos of 2011 so far - The Return Of The Drifter and Falling Down are still both classics.

Hard Yards

A new track from Domsko, which features the exceptional vocals of Astral T and comes courtesy of one of my favourite labels, Lost My Dog. This is one of funkiest House tracks I’ve heard for a while. So much dynamite in the locker for my new mix, and this is just a taster of what you can expect.

Yes

Earlier today we were given Jill Scott’s new single, and now to end the day we have been blessed with the beautiful lead single from Musiq Soulchild’s upcoming 7th studio album, MusiqInTheMagiq. Who said R&B/Soul was dead? You have no idea what you’re on about. Yes.

Dot Rotten - Normal Human Being

Visuals for a brilliant new track from Dot Rotten. I wish he would leave the pathetic Wiley ‘beef’ alone and concentrate on making quality music, like this. Very impressive.

Heart Is A Miracle

One of my favourite tracks from Ty’s 2010 album, Special Kind Of Fool, has been given a Starkey influenced refix by Mr. Martelo - it was meant for a mixtape idea that he decided to scrap. This is very sick.
