We have selected the 3rd remix as a part of our ongoing "DJ Shadow Remix Project." Shadow says this one is "A 10,000 miles-per-hour, intricate drum & bass remix of 'Stem.'"
Remix by: Nico Boissy aka Randomatik Blast from Lyon, France.
Master of Deception EP – Tom Hades – Impact Mechanics Release number forty two for Impact Mechanics, this time featuring the talents of one of the most respected techno producers Tom Hades, fresh from his hot remix for Wehbba. Master mind Tom Hades has produced on labels such as Drumcode, Hell Yeah, 8 Sided Dice. This EP brings us the "Original Mix" of the title cut; Krank a gritty, straight forward Techno mover and the "Master of deception," a more driving and upfront version. The real gem here however, Krank, is a mega bass, slow-rising minimal flavored tech house track with a massive bassline. Atmospheric and dark in all the right ways. Clips can be found here

hope your having a good weekend, just wanted to let you know about a
gig we are doing at JB's in Dudley with some amazing bands, would be
awesome if you could make it, hope to see you there
Jordan Rivera is back this time with legendary UK singer Spoonface (faada.co.uk). The voice of Number one selling Black Legend and club anthem 'Hey Girl'. Black Legend's "You See the Trouble with Me" reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart selling several million worldwide. Many recognise Spoonface's contribution to the sound of Ukfunky with the classic dancefloor hit 'Hey Girl' With a host of collaborations from Drum and Bass maestro High Contrast to Reggae Legend Janet Kay, his current efforts have kept him at the top of the club charts with tracks like Wunna Be (Christain Marchi remix) and Here For You (Time srl). This track is called 'Keep on Holding'. It's an inspirational house record aiming to provide some upliftment in these 'crazy time's'.
