Still feeling fairly Glastonburied after our festival weekend but sure we shall come alive long enough to tell you all about it some day soon. In the meantime here's a couple of Gorillaz remixes from our London dwelling compadre The Last Skeptik. I managed to catch them live just before our set (Monky and Stagga arrived about 30 seconds before we played thanks to Easyjet, but that's another story) and was mightily impressed with the guests they managed to pull together for it: Lou Reed; Mark E Smith; Bobby Womack; Shaun Ryder; Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon); Bootie Brown (The Pharcyde); Kano; Bashy; Snoop Dogg; and De La Soul amongst others. Shame no Mos Def or Gruff Rhys but then there's not much room for complaining with that kind of line up.

It's rare indeed that we'll post any straight up Drum N Bass tracks, but what with us being all up in Knowledge Mag and dropping a DnB tune in our mix from Baobinga & ID that you might not have expected and two straight up Jungle offerings from both Count & Sinden and Stagga (which may find it's way into the blogosphere soon), it seems like the perfect time to drop these exlusives on your eardrums from Jamal.

This tune has been floating about for a while on BBC 1Xtra and mixes from the likes of Infiltrata (aka West Coast Dubstep don 12th Planet) but until now has never properly seen the light of day, despite much nagging. Don't let the name and floaty eastern sounding samples fool you, this is some dangerous bass heavy tear out bizness indeed.

Jamal has been in the studio cooking up some new tracks but his Jeckyl and Hyde style alter ego Don Leisure is keeping his side of things pretty much locked down at the moment, with his Darkhouse Family project alongside Metabeats gaining much love from the likes of Waajeed, Gaslamp Killer, Illum Sphere and Martyn, plus radio plays on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra amongst many. The first official taster from that should come on Volume 2 of Fat City's fairly seminal Producer compilation out next month. Check the incredible full line up for that here.

If you need to mellow out after all that jumping about then maybe this might help to sooth your soul slightly. Also hailing from the Cardiff area, Easy Buffalo just hit us with this funkalicious little Gorillaz bootleg. They also have a few tracks in the pipeline with some of our favourite smoothed out Welsh rappers such as Redeye, Skunkadelic and Louis Boston, we've had a little taster and should hopefully be able to share a little something more with you all soon.
