Just a quick post to let you know that the first digital release from Pesky Plates has just dropped, featuring cuts from the likes of Monkey, Physical, Magenta, plus a collaboration from myself and Fused Forces.

The 001 features a varied range of styles, from 2-Step, to Dubstep, to our Grime riddim, Jack Russell. You can cop the release here via Juno download.

I have to admit I have something of a soft spot for 2 Step Garage, it was the first music to come through the club speakers at the start of the last decade and thanks to an old mix CD I dugout before heading from city to city this new years it was the last music I really bubbled to at the end of the decade too. Not that this is an admission of guilt, after all I'm in good company with my ...., seems like a large section of the discerning club crowd have fallen back in love with the sound. As if to highlight the point our first post of the year is a mix of Nu-skool 2 step grooves going into a tropical leaning sound from C.R.S.T. from South Wales, whose members are made up of CK favourites Chesus & Rodski, Tony Blitz and J.D.S. All tracks are from the crew except one solo one (see below) from Chesus, who some of the you might recognise as being the alter ego of Metabeats, we told you he was gonna be one to watch this year and it looks like we're heading for a satisfied smug tone for our 2010 round up. From what we understand also, a couple of these tracks should soon seee the light of day courtesy of the fellas at No Hats No Hoods but more info on that as it comes.

Having been out to a string of average, apathetic and just plain empty nights of late it is refreshing that there are nights such as Bigger Than Barry to restore our faith that the party proper still exists. We hit their night at The Rainbow Warehouse in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago and had a great time, secret special guests came in the shape of Toddla T (whose firing set instigated a mosh pit) and Annie Mac who brought along the beautiful, bashy and blazing hot Lady Chann on mic duty... you know a night's going well when you can afford to keep guests like these a secret. Elsewhere the likes of Doorly and Tomb Crew tore it up whilst Scarlet Harlots proved themselves to be one of the best young indie rock (for want of better pigeon-holing) bands on the circuit.

Anyway, part of the reason these guys know how to put on a top class night is they have their ears finely tuned to the dancefloor, and they are now putting their learned lugholes to further use by starting up a label. We don't have much info on it but we do have these Dubstep reworkings of some 2 Step classics to give you courtesy of the BTB boys. These tracks have already been getting support from all of the DJs we mentioned.

Some of you may have caught this guy in our latest chart, but we have a couple more tracks to give away from Polish producer Spox, whose background in the Warsaw Hip-hop and Free Party scenes probably helps to endear him to our ears, although both of these tracks are on a Dubstep tip with an Old Skool Rave twist.
