Most of you are probably thinking: “Tom, why are you posting a Trick Daddy song?!” - well when I first saw it I thought to myself: “Ritchcraft, why are you remixing a Trick Daddy song?”. But as he explains, it’s pretty simple, the acapella sounds sick over this old skool beat. Ritchcraft is one of my favourite Hip-Hop producers, and if you don’t know about his work, then I urge you to make the effort and get to know.
My lovely mate Yasmin was 22 yesterday and out of the goodness of her heart she has put together a smooth R&B Christmas mix that everyone can enjoy over the festive season. Below you can hear/download the mix and after the jump you will find the tracklist and a few words from the lady herself. She has assured me that she will never neglect the DJing, which makes me happy, because she is still one of the best around and our musical taste is scarily similar. Merry Christmas.
Today’s my birthday, it’s also 4 days before Christmas, but where’s the fun unless we’re all getting presents?! So here’s my gift for you, a Christmas Mix full of 90’s R&B, don’t go making too many babies over the festive season now… ;) I included 22 tracks, one for every year of my life so far! So Happy Birthday to me and Merry Christmas to you!! Go forth & download!! Love, Yasmin x

Here is a snippet of Jet Project’s new track, which was released yesterday on Riva Starr’s record label, Snatch! Sampling the Donell Jones classic ‘U Know What’s Up’, this is one of the best House tracks I’ve heard for a very very long time. Got my copy off Beatport before, and you should probably do the same.
Just in time for Christmas; Brodinski comes through with a follow up to his Best Of Everything compilations of electro and hip-hop that hit the web hard back in July. This volume sees the French producer/dj commission some of his buddies such as Bok Bok, Brenmar, Dubbel Dutch, French Fries, J-Wow, Nguzunguzu, Renaissance Man & Wildlife! for 16 club bangers. Some of the tracks aren’t all that, however some are absolutely delcious pieces that would tear up any dancefloor. Below you can hear Brenmar’s remix of Cassie’s ‘Me & U’ and after the jump you can find the tracklist and download link for the whole mixtape. Brodinski is still one of my favourite people within the House/Electro scene.

Julio Bashmore’s highly anticipated EP, Everyone Needs A Theme Tune, is to be released on January 10th. Below you can hear the lead track from the EP, which will feature remixes from Ramadanman and Midland. This guy just keeps doing it - bass, bass & more bass.
The opening (& best) track from Sunshine Anderson’s latest album, The Sun Shines Again. This is the type of R&B that should be doing well in the charts. Sweet and sexy.
Public House is the brain child of Finnian Casey (soundcloud), and is a label that is set to blow the house scene apart with its bass driven funk infused tracks. His night Public House (named after the Label) boasts a concerted party ethic set to a backdrop of conscientiously made tunes featuring guest DJ appearances from the cream of underground Techno and House movement. The track below is a remix of my favourite Frank-N-Dank tune, Ma Dukes. As far as House music goes, this is as funky and good as it gets. Excited to see/hear what more they have to bring us in the near future.
