DJ Cable x Soleheaven - 6 Acre Mixtape

I'm back with yet another mixtape! Hopefully you all enjoyed the Wiley mix that posted the other day...

Here's something I cooked up with one of the UK's best independent sneaker stores, Soleheaven, to promote the upcoming 6 Acre streetwear festival in Manchester this Saturday (which they will be attending). I've put together an hour's worth of upfront Grime, Trap and Hip Hop, featuring the likes of Jay Z, Faze Miyake, Starkey, Dizzee Rascal, 12th Planet, CAS, Merky Ace, UZ, Baauer, Tinie Tempah, Rude Kid and more.

Peep the mix and full tracklisting below, as well as more details for the 6 Acre event.

I hope you enjoy the mix. Big up.

DJ Cable x Do Androids Dance Present: Wiley - The Steps Mix

I'm amazed that after all this time, no-one has actually put together a full mixed version of Wiley's Step freestyles.

After chatting to Khal over at Do Androids Dance we both decided it'd be a good idea to present the Godfather of Grime's finest work from the past 12 months in a mixed format for you to enjoy in one sitting.

They're not in numerical order, as that would be boring...plus, there would be a load of key clashing going on. Anyway, sit back and enjoy, and press that download button.

Dj Elski - Old Skool House & Garage Summer Mix 2013

One thing that is synonymous with Summer in the UK is Garage music. For me, and a lot of people in their twenties, it's one of those genres that has the ultimate nostalgia factor. Therefore, I'm always happy to find an excuse to post a Garage mix on the blog.

Massive props to DJ Elski for putting together a whopping 2 hour mix of 90's classic House & Garage from the likes of Todd Edwards, Tuff Jam, Anthill Mob, Roy Davis Jnr, 4th Measure Man and a whole lot more.

Whilst the UKG scene has always thrived, it's also seen somewhat of a resurgence in the past couple of years from labels such as L2S, the revival of Public Demand, and artists such as Mike Delinquent, Artful Dodger and Disclosure. I have a feeling that once the "Deep House" craze wears off, we'll be seeing a lot more Garage creeping into clubland.

Anyhow, check out the mix below, and be sure to drop DJ Elski a tweet if you're feeling it.

Cartridge EP Out Now!!!

Easy now, just a quick post to let you all know that debut release Cartridge is out now on Slit Jockey Records.

For those who have following me for a while, you'll know that I'm a massive fan of both video games and Grime music, so it seemed natural for me to somehow combine the two (in my own weird way).

The EP also features a sick vocal version from Virus Syndicate's Goldfinger, which includes a few cheeky references to some classic games (we keep it dancefloor friendly and geek friendly at the same damn time), as well as the acapella, and a Devil Mix as a homage to all the early Wiley/Eski tunes.



You can purchase it through the usual outlets: Junodownload, Boomkat, Beatport, iTunes & Bleep to name a few.

Thanks to everyone who's supported it so far. More music to come real soon!

Tinie Tempah - Trampoline

...so I'm finally back with some blog posts...

After what seems like a lifetime, Tinie Tempah is back with some new music...I heard this on Mistajam's show last night, and pretty much lost my mind. This beat is ridiculous...

It's the first single taken from Tinie's long-awaited sophomore album Demonstration, which is due out in September.

Produced by Diplo and featuring 2 Chainz, it's safe to say that this will be an instant club smash. You'll be able to purchase Trampoline from 4th August, but for now, here's the video.
