Stainage Records launches its free download offshoot – Stainage Off The Records.
We start with The Dog politik EP
'What you see and what you hear it's for real', you've been warned. Dense cinematic atmos and piercing basslines confront with razor sharp beats setting the tone for a steppy trip through Grimelock's sonic view of 'Dog Politik'.
The story is continued with 'Gorilla March' alongside Alchemyst. Dub heavy pads and stabs coming straight from a big rave flashback that echoes and glows until the bass drops and the beats kick in pumping out the air out of your lungs.
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'. Remixes by Jesse Voorn (Dance4Life), Firebeatz (Spinnin/Big&Dirty), John Jacobsen & Anzwer (Pacha Ibiza Residents) Nino Anthony (Portamento/Subliminal), TYNY & Jeremus (Full Throttle Rec.), Amir Barbell (FSM), Jodee Kitch (FSM) and Norty Cotto (Naughty Boy Music/Henry Street Music) Have already become a triumphant hit on myspace!"
