Save Our Soul

I heard this track on the always influential Mary Anne Hobbs radio show saturday nite on Xfm and it completely got me bruking out big time!. The tune in mention is called 'Save Our Soul' by DJ Sunday Roast aka Matthew Page, forthcoming on a brand new label called WeRBassuk. Even as i woke sunday the damn tune was still reverberating in me head, a spiritual vocal heavy bass 4x4 monster with tinges of tribal percussion running thruout. Sure this gonna blow up! SOS is the 3rd track in on the preview below.

Str8up Slamming tune!

I'm going to go

Well peeps, winter's arriving and from next week the mytea@om crew are decamping to Europe for 4 months, so it will be a little slow around here for a while. The crew are takin' up the very generous offer of a Vdub campervan for the duration.Heading south from Rott'dam to the delights of Tuscany-Umbria, Milan to spend xmas, the mountains of Piedmonte for new year, along the beaches of the French Riviera, back up west-side to Breton and coast it all the way back to the land of the Nethers....That sounds exhausting just typing it...well we'll see how it goes, so for the time being, here's a bit of old-school early analog bass, discofied house for ya!....still sounding phat after 25 years. A remix from da house GodMaster Frankie Knuckles on Italian label FullTime Records....Hopefully get a couple of more bits up for ya before we offski!

Man Of Experience And Wisdom

Staying with some afrocentric electronica on Richard Sen's mixed blood cuts label, that dropped back in April. We're checking the talented Brazilian composer, arranger, multi-instrumentist, Pedro Zopelar's edit of Mulatu Astatke's 'Yekermo Sew'. Lifted from the french world music label Buda Musique's compilation 'Ethiopiques, Vol. 4', sure many of you have seen the Jim Jarmusch film 'broken flowers' you'll recognise this...Zopelar constructs an infectious percussive house groove without spoiling the essence of the original piece...one for naturalizum...summer sweetness!

Be Strong

First heard dropped by that crafty casual DJ Ross Allen, a cracking piece of jackmyfunkysoul house muzik with bags of humour and a big bouncy bassline from out of the woods Sarf London lads Joe Goddard(Hot Chip) & DJ Raf Daddy (AKA the2bears). Their debut EP on Southern Fried Records includes 2 original tracks with 'Be Strong' a nod to London soundsystem culture, that's rockin' all over the mt@o HQ and a stunning rework of Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me” and a cover of Sade “When Am I Going To Make a Living”. Excellente! my dear bears..

Physical Sunset.

A couple of jazzy house/techno tracks that`s ringing my bells at the moment, courtesy of beatport.
First up (2nd in a few days) is this wonderfully sublime B-side bizniz that could easily be the sound of summer, could see this being huge in Ibiza...written & produced by Thomas Schumacher Outta Berlin. The tracks called "Sunset" from The Ooh EP, released on GetPhysicalMusic A very simple percussive, latin jazz groove with this mad Cuban style big band breakdown that`s off the hook....Enjoy!

Thomas is appearing at Barcelona’s International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art - Sonar 09, if your going to the festival make sure to check him out.
