Skream with yet more disco house remix action. His Duke Dumont remix was massive and now that he’s supposedly no longer making dubstep it would appear he’s fully embraced a more classic boogie style and I’m certainly not complaining.
I don’t listen to much D&B any more but it’s nice to dip in and out every now & then and check a few mixes. Of all the more recent producers who make tracks that some might call jump up I’ve always liked Serum’s tunes and I’ve heard a few mixes of his as well in the past which have all been good stuff. He’s also a good lad and posts nice sample sources on the RDB forums every now & then.
This mix is unashamedly about self-promotion and features mainly his or Bladerunner’s tracks but I’ll forgive him as there is a fair mix of styles in there alongside the standard steppers. We had a nice little armchair bop to this in the office today and you should like it if 175 BPM is your thing.

I was just searching for a garage mix on Mixcloud and happened across one of the only ones that doesn’t contain the same 15 tunes. Turns out it’s by Ray Juss the man responsible for several events that happen around London inclduing the great vinyl only night Off The Record which I’m hopefully going to be playing a few tunes at at some point in the future.
Anyway, back to the mix. Great selection and some tip top swift mixing. Highly recommended
This track turned up on a a playlist of South African house tracks that a mate sent me the other day. There were a couple of names I recognised there (Black Coffee, Ralf Gum) but on the whole they were all completely new to me and were all great. I’d been hearing for a long time that SA is turning out some top house music and have loved everything I’ve heard in the past few years but it was nice to check out some of it from someone who is actually from the area. Needless to say it didn’t disappoint and this one in particular caught my ear. Blissfully simple and catchy.
R. Kelly is definitely one of the most ludicrous, yet amazing, people to exist in the world. His songs are regularly incredible (this one especially) with lyrics that often make me wonder what exactly goes on in his mind during the song writing process. I think being R. Kelly for a day would be a trip into a world that is completely insane but probably a lot of fun, if I’m honest.
