Mr Nice and co horts CJ and Darggy Darg from outta Luton drop a huge Bashment meets Hip-hop track, taking Pharoahe Monch's chorus (also used by Styles P on a track of the same name) and flipping it to good effect.

Also, look out for a stunning Don Leisure remix of DEFine's 48Hrs, which features the other Mr Nice himself Howard Marks. It's due to drop on the Subconscious label later in the year.

Toddla T is one of the brightest and certainly bashiest of new digital beat bringers in the UK at the moment. Having provided 3 tracks for the latest Roots Manuva’s album Slime & Reason, and remixing the likes of Hot Chip, Jack Penate, Tricky and Roisin Murphy, not to mention working alongside Sinden, Detboi, Fake Blood, Drop The Lime and Herve on the Machines Don't Care project, it is not without a certain amount of excitement that we await his first album, currently under way in a secret laboratory somewhere in Sheffield. First signs are good with a hot new single just dropped called Manabadman which features Brum born bashment emcee Serocee on the vocals, firing off like Lieutenant Stitchie in his prime, whilst Trigganom (not to be confused with South West UK rapper Triggadon as I did briefly) bounces round the flipside riddim 1965 Dubplate like Tigger’s tail on a Space Hopper, grab it now.

Montreal DJ / Producer Ghislain Poirier’s productions, in particular those on his latest release for Ninja Tunes ‘No Ground Under’ betray a keen ear for big dutty tunes from all over the world. Anyone who has been to his club night Bounce Le Gros, where he drops a mix of global Hip hop, Grime, Bali beats, Booty bass, Crunk, Baltimore and more, may lay testament to that, but for those who haven’t comes his brand new mix Cosmopolitan Bass. A journey round the world from the comfort of your own private dance floor taking in artists from Montréal, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Jamaïca, Sweden, France, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Haïti, Barbados, Trinidad, UK, Senegal, etc.


It’s not always easy to get heads to open up enough to take in the sights and sounds of Global goodness but Ghislain has the right kinda bass to bind it all and also the right attitude to see it through.

“it's not easy playing that music. But, fuck, I like it ! So I just imposed it to the people and it's working pretty good”
