Right as we come out fighting to face the week with dubz in hand and a slew of chaos in the weekend wake, here's some extra armoury for the eardrums. First two are part ones in what we hope will continue into long and illustrious mixtape dynasties. We have the Lowriders Collective season with the pilot episode courtesy of Coco Bryce and future mixes from the likes of Slugabed, Débruit and Hovatron to look forwards to; Second is a touch more partytastic from Shorterz and kicks of the Bigger Than Barry Records Mixtapes whilst the third and well the fourth too are 2 major mash up journeys from the The Kleptones (who had the Beastie Boys / Prodigy combo on our last mix), one full rock out and another more introspective and chilled.

Tenuous link number 89.7. Tonight in the UK is Guy Fawkes night, otherwise known as Fireworks night or Bonfire night thanks to the consentual pyromania that sweeps the nation. Back in 1605 Guy Fawkes and his Catholic homies tried to blow up the Houses Of Parliament whilst the Protestant King James I and his bredren were all inside. The Houses Off Parliament nowadays (and we have it on no authority back then as well) are chaired by The Speaker, kind of a referee for politicians. So we have, in celebration of this historic occasion, a bunch of tunes to blow ya speakers the f**k up!


Next Tuesday sees the release of Elucid's brand new album, The Sub Bass Diet with a mixture of original production and choice dubs by the likes of Kode 9 and Joker, all laced with Elucid's poetically exorcised frustrations. We were real excited when we heard one of our favourite Brooklyn rappers had hooked up with one of our favourite Welsh producers Metabeats and the excitement was well founded, Take Charge is sheer fiiiiyaah! We hear there's more from the two on Metabeats album that should be out early next year. DN3 does similar justice on the latest leak from the album too, you can feel the unplugged rage spilling from the mic to the mixing board.

Even those who can't remember the days when Jungle was king and Navigator was one of it's mightiest warriors, or even later before Big Beat became Breaks and Freestylers were second only to Fatboy Slim as it's main exponents. Even if you have no memory of such things (and to be honest most who were actually there probably have a hazy reccolection at best) you will no doubt have heard the monster tune that is Ruffneck from Freestylers and Navigator that first dropped over 10 years ago. What? Still no? Well it matters not because a new remix from Ctrl Z relies on more than simple nostalgia to rock a crowd. Already getting play from the likes of Stanton Warriors, Krafty Kuts, Freq Nasty, Deekline and of course the Freestylers themselves, their version will be dropping on Vinyl along with an Excision & Datsik Dubstep remix on November 23rd with a digital package including further mixes from High Rankin, Bassline crew Pirate Soundsystem and this one from Rack n Ruin.

With us already being fans of Raffertie's very own brand of Bonkers Bassline it was intriguing to say the least when we heard he was turning his hand to more Hip-hop based beats. We weren't disappointed when he dropped us the mighty Hulk Hop style refix for Foamo's Wardance and it has had some major rotation from us since. Now those kind fellas over at ScenexScience have made it available so that even those of you most recession hit may wash your cares away in a big wave of glitchy killer bee bass music.

Incidentally it was on a Raffertie remix that we first heard Scarlet Harlots who, if there is an ounce of justice in the music industry deserve to be huge. As we witnessed at Bigger Than Barry a couple of months, they're the perfect blend of good honest party rock, underground dance music and credible pop music, without any of the obvious contrivance one might expect from such a winning formula. Their track A Secret came out last month on Bigger Than Barry's own imprint with dope remixes from: Shorterz, who brings us Midget House 'an amalgamation of House, Garage and Electro' and also joins compadre Enigma on a Dubstep flex; and Kitch N Sync who flip a filthy Fidget version. We're a little late on this but the simple fact that we're not already over-run by these fellas on every station shows there's work to be done before justice is served.

Finally, at the risk of renaming this site, Foreign Bloggers we have a remix of yet another Beggars track, and yes once again it's huge. This one's been around a while however and is resurfacing due to the remix being from DJ Primecuts from the Scratch Perverts who shall be hosting their annual Beatdown session at Fabriclive (see above flyer) next Friday.

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.

Thrills has hit us with a bunch of new hype tracks plus a brand new second installment of Dubstep refixes in a handy half hour mix.

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.

We're so excited about this new mix from our good friend Raffertie that we haven't even had a chance to listen to it yet. One look at the tracklisting let's us know it's going to be monumental... and possibly rather mentalist too. If after listening we find this isn't the case, we'll pack up our Chrome cases and go join a holistic monastery or something.
