If the recent Bassnectar remix we posted wasn't proof enough that the West Coast is still runnin' tings on the filthy bass ridden digitally mutated Hip-hop tip then we have two more remixes from the region to firmly hit the point home for you.


First up we have a Hollyrock handling of a Tru-skool classic as LA beatmeister Tatelarock takes on Channel Live & KRS One's Mad Izm, sparking it up to date with a little less bounce than the original but plenty of neck snapping punch that puts it safely at the top of our playlist at the moment.

Next up San Fran's an-ten-nae flips the 'surf rock ragga' of the first official leak from the new Major Lazer album (featuring Mr Lexx and Santigold on vocals) into the kind of grimey nastiness that Cyborg Yardies of the future will be doing drive bys to.

Killer track off the Skream 'Watch The Ride' mix from LA Dubstep duo Smut (aka Tech Itch + Sam XL) which they've decided to drop for free after somebody bootlegged it. This takes the original roughneck as hell track from Movado and Busy Signal (see video) and manages to make it even nastier still.

Once again, George Lenton proves himself to be a bad man of the highest order as he gives us the perfect British Summertime anthem. Sunshine samples (courtesy of Harry Belafonte) with big stanking beats and basslines, frickin' love it.

Arguably one of the filthiest producers alive takes on one of our all time favourite dancefloor mutilators. How could we not post this.

The next installment of Spoek Mathambo (Playdoe) and Big Space's (aka DJ Snyman) H.I.V.I.P excursions that aim to bring South Africa's finest mixes of 'Afrotech, Zulucore Space Disco, Tribal, UK Funky and Pretoria House' to the masses comes from their fellow Cape Townite DJ Mastercash. Spoek says he wants people to come visit South Africa and dance, well this is certainly some quality enticement.

Also out of South Africa, check these stunning slices of Electro-pop from Spoek collaborator (on the Moleke Mbembe project)Richard the Third from his album Third World From the Sun.

Chrome Kids back in effect, had a short break whilst I went off to try and introduce Dubstep to the trance infested Indian Himalayas. Maybe this sick little Electrofied Bollywood bubbler from Hungary's Headshotboyz would have been better suited.
