A while ago we met up with Zed “Maddslinky” Bias at the Sound Gallery in Amsterdam. He was so kind to do a one hour mix for our Moovmnt Radio show filled with exclusives and sneak previews. If you like that UK Funky/Broken/Garage/Dubstep/Wonkey sound you’re in for a proper treat! Dave drops some fingerlickin’ tunes and we invite you to take a listen. Oh and for you Dutchies…this Friday Maddslinky will be playing at Rampage in Paradiso (Amsterdam).

Jack aka Space Dimension Controller turned 20 earlier this year at the Red Bull Music Academy in London and that’s where we met this leopard-print shirt wearing lad from Belfast. I can’t believe how fast this guy is blowing up and already having several releases out on Clone and R&S Rerords. His latest “Temporary Thrillz” release is a 6-track EP filled with tasty tunes. I never expected this to be so damn good, but when I heard “2EZ (Autopilot’s Lament)” I was immediatly sold.

This guy is on some whole other level and goes from straight mellowed out space funk to a mix of jazz, house and all sorts of other music which I can’t really put my finger on. “Transatlantic Landing Bay” is just ridiculous and will be played as often as possible from my end. Jack freaks the f*ck out on the keys and goes into a funked out frenzy building up to a point of no return. In other words shit is bananas! It might not be your cup of tea, but for open-minded music lovers this is the bizness and I’m getting me a copy over at Rush Hour this week.

For those living in the wonderful city of Amsterdam, you are hereby invited to drop by the shop formely known as Concrete (Spuistraat 250, Amsterdam). In a hostile takeover the shop has been transformed (just during the Amsterdam Dance Event) in to a Red Bull Music Academy pop-up radio studio. This Friday Mark Pritchard will be giving a special lecture so come one, come all. You can listen to all the shows on the Internet by visiting www.redbullmusicacademyradio.com or on the ether (Amsterdam) via 107.4 FM. We’ll also be broadcasting live on Sunday, but more about that later.

Norman Jay recently spoke on the fact that covers can indeed add something new to a (in this case Marvin Gaye) song. Times haven’t changed that much so the political message still stands. Enjoy this free download from Colonel Red “Holla” and look out for a remix from Om Unit as well. [via Ampsoul]
