Drake Feat. Rihanna "Take Care" (DJ Cable Edit)



Here's a little something for all you Urban/Open Format DJs (and Drake fans too).

As you know, the ladies love that "Take Care" joint, but in all honesty it's a bit too mellow; especially when it comes to dropping it in the middle of a set. As a result, I made this edit for when I play an Open Format set (Hey, I have to pay my bills somehow).



I've basically added some 808s and the Think break, sped up the tempo a little bit, and given the arrangement a quick shuffle. The tune ends on a loop of the Gil Scott-Heron sample.

The end result is a slightly beefed up version, with a DJ friendly intro.

Enjoy.

DJ Shiftee's "Slaughterhouse" Routine (Video)



Shiftee comes through with another classic routine.

In his words:

This is a routine I put together for my recent appearance on the legendary Rinse FM (big shouts to DJ Wonder for having me on!). It's meant to show my softer side. Yes, you may know me for my manly feats of strength and untapped primal aggression on delicatessen waiting lines. When you think Shiftee, you probably think of a brute force who opens jars, lifts heavy boxes, and attends the gym regularly (big shouts to my trainer Sergi for keeping me toned!).

But there's more to me. I take long walks on the beach. I gaze wistfully at setting suns and old people. I once watched a trailer for The Notebook and felt something deep inside (it was indigestion, but still). Please watch the following video, and get to know the real me.

-- Forever Yours, Shiftee

Techné is the brainchild of Switzerland-based Franck J. Like his earlier collections, the new SparrowHawk II is a tool watch inspired by Aviation instruments.

Easy to use and water-resistant to 100 meters, the 41 millimeter-wide timepiece comes with night-visible markings and a matte black dial without glare. Two styles are currently available: brushed steel on steel bracelet, or cockpit black on canvas strap. Although a micro-brand, Techné pays close attention to sustainability and ensures that all carbon emissions are compensated for and recycled paper is used for stationery and packaging.

The watches, which are quite reasonbly priced, can be purchased from their online store, or through selected partners which are listed on the site.

New music from Fused Forces and Be-1ne...



I've been getting more into the Autonomic/minimal side of D&B over the past couple of years; especially since a lot more producers have started experimenting with half step tempos.

These two tracks come courtesy of Midlands-based Be-1ne (who also runs Area Recordings), and Triangulum family members Fused Forces.


Be-1ne - Version 1 bounce (Autonomic) by Be-1ne


Fused Forces - Dark Beginnings by FusedForces

Be-1ne opts for some lush pads, whilst the Romford duo come with a darker vibe, complete with organ stabs and rolling percussion.

Well played, chaps!
