Blow My Horn

My favourite joint from Strong Arm Steady’s latest album, Arms & Hammers, which features legendary Hip-Hop artist Kurupt. The album isn’t as good as their last (probably because it’s not produced by Madlib), but it’s still worth a listen as there are some massive tracks on there.

Robot Sex

A funky cut from Cee-Lo’s latest album Lady Killer that wouldn’t have sounded out of place if it did make the final tracklist. It wouldn’t have been the best track on the album, but it was produced by Jack Splash, who was the man on the decks for ‘I Want You’, which was one of my favourites of 2010.

In The Ghetto (Wake Up)

First single off J. Period’s mixtape, Wake Up! Radio (available now), which sees Black, Rakim & JL revisit the classic Eric B & Rakim original. Thought is a lyrical genius. You can also check the sick new documentary about The Roots which dropped yesterday.

UNLEASHED!

A monstrous new mix from Florida born and Philadelphia based Drum & Bass producer, Dieselboy. This is his most layered and nuanced studio mix to date. Returning to his old school mixtape roots where he isn’t limited to what tracks he could use or license, Dieselboy has used the opportunity to take Unleashed! to another level. Seriously, I feel sorry for your speakers. Listen & download below.

First Aid

Never been a massive fan of progressive house, but Michael Woods is a legend of the the Electronic scene and is someone who has a knack of consistently producing main room anthems; his latest single, First Aid, is no exception. This is massive - it was released at the back end of last week and you can get your copy HERE. He has also produced Example’s lead single from the upcoming 3rd album, which you will be able to hear on his UK tour that started on Tuesday.

Now That I've Found U

A brand new delicious deep house track from Low Deep T, who simply has one of the most soothing voices I’ve ever heard. I could listen to this on repeat for about 4 hours and never get bored of it - I think impossible to not sing along. There is also a sick alternative version, which features Lora Maspimby on the sax, and you can listen to that here.
