From Old Money To Nouveau Riche


Old Money have hit us with a brand new swagger full remix off their No.1 Champion Sound EP. It Comes courtesy of Starks & Nacey, ironically two thirds of Nouveau Riche, the guys behind the monthly Washington DC party of the same name. We've also included two dope tracks off their EP below.

Dirty Weekend

It's been a long weekend, one which we shall tell you all about soon, but first we have an inbox overflowing with great tracks so we figured we'd share a few of our favourites with you.


It's perhaps too soon to call Hovatron a legend, especially when he's still living in the future, but we were undoubtedly over-pleased to recieve this track from the esteemed member of Montreal's seminal Turbo Crunk crew, especially as it's such a beauty. Think the Mystery Machine members from Scooby Doo investigating an Acid House rave in an abandoned fairground that has been haunted by an evil Hyphy Monster, and that pretty much sums up the vibe of this one.

The track is taken from a self release that he's just dropped on his Myspace, go and check it out. Also check the page for Hovatron's European Tour dates alongside his fellow Turbo Crunk conspirator Lunice. Here's a little mix from the two of them.

Mochipet just hit us up with a copy of his Mary Anne Hobbs mix from a couple of weeks back. A friggin' evil Dubstep adventure with elements of Crunked up Hip-hop, Rockin' out guitars and of course a touch of Michael Jackson too.

16bit will be making their Fabriclive debut this Friday alongside Drop The Lime and Starkey. We shall hopefully see him playing the Music By Numbers night here in Cardiff soon too, as long as some pretty nasty and underhanded promoter politics get's cleaned up properly.

Here's a stinking remix of the Borgore track Foes, that see's a clash of the synths between Dubstep and G Funk. Perfect to play if you happen to be taking a low rider to a demolition derby.

Our friends over at Attorney Street have dropped their first Digi-12" release from Old Money and have sent us a promo copy of the bonus track to pass out. It's their take on a classic Bon Jovi track, moving it into Electro House territory. One for Saturday night dancefloor filling for sure. You can pick up the 320 version on the Where You Are release, grab it via Paypal here.

Next we have the first in a series of mashups & remixes by Mandrake Sounds. A high energy Electro classic meets a low grumbling Dubstep monster.

Been a while since we heard from those Texan noise terrorists Chopigula and at first glance they seemd to have mellowed somewhat on their new 12" Magma. But even though the tracks might not carry the organised chaos we've come to know, love and fear, instead leaving space for emcees Zeale and Phranchyze to do their thing, there is still that menacing tribal flavour underlying both of these tracks, so don't say we didn't warn you.

Sweat It Out have just dropped some funk crunching flavour in the shape of Italian producer Pablo Calamari. It has remixes from the likes of Scottie B, DJ Beware and DCUP, so even if you go to the same black market he bought his wife from, you should hunt this down.

No More Lidl Shop Lifting, Afrikan Boy Gets Some Old Money


How serious is Afrikan Boy? Particularly after the Lidl track I'm not too sure but I'm going to take him at the most light hearted as that's about the realm he becomes really enjoyable. It seems his main credentials are working with MIA on Kala (and subsequent Mixtapes and Tour) but that's one album where the guests do a worse job of rhyming than even MIA herself. But then that album shines beyond the lyrics and so does Afrikan Boy

There's something instantly likeable about the guy but this track extends beyond simple charm with Konrad from Old Money flippin' a heavy Canadian Grime style on the remix..

You can buy the original version of Lagos Town on iTunes here and look out for his mixtape Can of Whoopass Vol. 1: The Rise of Captain Africa, coming soon. Now you gotta love that title.

Nu Soul Old Money



As well as the fantastic mix we put up the other day, the guys at Attorney Street have put us onto another project fromOld Money (Cambridge, Scheme and Konrad), with New York soul crooner Lance Drummonds. It’s called Scareapeutic and it should drop in the next couple of weeks.

They hit us up with a quick preview, a funkified electro swing fest called – The Willies

Catch Saturday Night Fever

Not doing well at motivating myself to head out, resigned to listening to some more Mixtapes and having a Saturday afternoon 'Dance & Snack Attack' round the kitchen. Would highly recommend it, download them now and join in.


First up there's this new Old Money mix courtesy of Attorney Street if this doesn't get you moving while you munch then you might well need to check you're still with us.

(Z Share) Old Money - The NYC Tee Promo Mix

They've put this out to promote their new T Shirts which have been designed to help push some of the exciting new artists to emrge from New York for which all profits goes to the youth poetry organisation Urban Word NYC. For more information, to pick up a T shirt or grab a tracklisting for this mix go pay the folks at Attorney St a visit.

Next up is something of a guilty pleasure i'm afraid but sometimes after checking so much good music you need a little Saturday trash to sing along to whilst rinsing the last of your cupboards remnants into a couple of suspect sandwiches. Now I'm ready to join my fellow Chrome Kids in some futuristic Saturday Night Fever business down at Swn for the next foorseable few hours.

I do feel kinda dirty after this though, apologies for infecting you.
