I remember working in a record shop in Amsterdam called Dancetracks in ’99 for a short while. One of the records that caught me attention was Zed Bias with “Neighborhood” on Locked On. Back then it was the era of Garage of music which came in many shapes and forms. In the here and now his alias Maddslinky is back during what we can now define as the era of Electronica and Dubstep.
His album “Make a Change” is quite divers and manages to blend many different genres plus it contains one of the best soulful Dubstep tunes made up till now. We were all over “Further Away” featuring Tawiah last year and played it as often as possible. Another banging mix between genres is “Lionheart” where Reggae and Dubstep are blended into one. On “Special” Maddslinky and UK soul singer Omar hit you with a soothing mix of soulful house and broken beats with that typical Zed Bias bass. For the rest this album contains lots of UK Garage, UK Funky and Dubstep flavoured tunes with loads of piano melodies warm Juno synths. Out now on Tru Thoughts and available via  so act accordingly!

Twenty years ago Jon More and Matt Black, collectively known as Coldcut, made Ninja Tune. Now twenty years is a long time for anything, but for an independent record label it’s aeons. So to celebrate they decided to focus on new material, new newness in the form of a huge boxset “Ninja Tune XX”. It will include new music from Roots Manuva, The Cinematic Orchestra, Mr Scruff, The Bug, Bonobo, Daedelus, Dorian Concept, Floating Points and many others. Also it will include new remixes from Cut Chemist, Mark Pritchard, Rustie, Prefuse 73, Mala, Todd Edwards, Gaslamp Killer and many more. Full tracklist here…
The boxset consists of 3 hardback cases packed in an outer box (delivered in a bespoke transit case) and includes 6 x CD’s, 6 x 7″, 2 x posters, 20 stickers & the hardback edition of the book “Ninja Tune: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces”. This crack will hit the streets September 20th and will be a collectors item if you ask me. Just a small preview of what you can expect.

Prime Numbers are back with “E11″, the latest in their signature EP series. I like the entire EP, but must honestly tell you that Mr. Scruff & kaidi Tatham come like no other on this release. This massively dope “Fresh Noodles” song is nothing short from a gigantic soulful jazz-house production, which soothes the ears and gets you in to the groove. Kaidi has been one of our favorite UK producers for many years now and a musical genius in our opinion. The way this track is built up with warm keys and flirting flutes is simply amazing!
Motor City Drum Ensemble drops a pretty basic house joint that kinda reminds me of some old Striclty Rhythm release I used to hear over at Rhythm Import. Andres finally seems to blend some classic Loose Ends/P.Y.T. (Michael Jackson) sounds with electro hip hop, but with a funky house bassline. Both not bad, but my vote goes to the first track on the EP.
Definitaly worth a listen and if you ask me well worth buying too, because of that Kaidi track! Head on over to Rushhour to get that vinyl or for your digital needs vitis Fatcity Recordings.
