Yasmin "On My Own" (Official Video)



Directed by Luke Monaghan and Emil Nava. This is a sick debut video!

You can also read the full story behind the video on her blog, which is pretty interesting. Make sure you cop it on 30th January, 2011.

Yasmin "On My Own" (Preview) & Maida Vale Pics



Following her recent feature on Devlin's "Runaway", here's a preview of Yasmin's debut single "On My Own", produced by Shy FX. Trust me when I say this is one name that you will definitely be hearing a lot from in 2011.

I was also honoured to be a part of her recent Maida Vale live session this week, which should be airing on BBC 1Xtra sometime soon. I've DJ'ed for various artists in the past for club sets and PAs, and jammed with various musicians, but to actually be part of a band and record something at the legendary Maida Vale studios was an incredible experience; it's definitely been one of the highlights of my DJ career so far.

I managed to grab a few pics of the session too (click to enlarge):









I also gotta give a massive shout out to Octave, Gareth Brown & Tokio - These dues are mad talented.

"On My Own" will be available 24th January, via Ministry of Sound/Levels Recordings.

Wiley Feat. Emeli Sande "Never Be Your Woman" (Shy FX Mix) (Music Video)



Shy FX comes through with a heavy B-More/Electro-influenced remix of Wiley's forthcoming single, which is available on iTunes 28th February.

Wiley + catchy hook + cheeky sample + Lyn Collins break = Win. It's a perfect formula, so hopefully it'll chart higher than "Take That".

Damn, that White Town sample definitely brings back some memories...

David Guetta Feat. Estelle "One Love" Remixes



We all know David Guetta for his recent chart-topper featuring Akon (which admittedly, was pretty catchy), and also that cheesy piano-driven bullshit with Kelly Rowland..So I was a bit skeptical when I stumbled upon these remixes. Can Shy FX and Breakage really do this tune (which also happens to be shit) any justice?

The Shy FX isn't too bad. It's got that mainstream D&B vibe for the main part, but then drops into a Dubstep-ish section for the latter part of the song. It's not really my style of D&B, but for the more commercial clubs, and also as a transition tool from Dubstep to D&B (and vice versa) for DJs, it'll do okay...

The Breakage remix, however, is fairly solid. Again, this is another girl-friendly remix which will do well in mainstream venues, but is still worth checking out as it's got a nice laid back vibe.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before David Guetta teams up with someone like Sean Paul for yet another urban electro smash hit *rolls eyes*
