British Males



Ok so latest mix is from British Males. A lot darker, newer and more electronic than the other mixes so far and really cool. There is a couple of other mixes up on their site also.

"After our epic last mix we wanted to do something quick and dirty for the club. All live on just two 12s, this is half an hour of huge bass, rattly breakbeats and daft bleep. Floor Hype!"

  1. Midnight Request Line (Hot Chip mix) - Skream
    Wicked re-rub which keeps all the grimy, digital weirdness of Skream's original but adds tribal percussion and a 4/4 kick. The complete opposite of the Switch mix on the flip.
  2. Kalemba (Hot Chip mix) - Buraka Som Sistema
    More 'Chip on the Greco-Roman tip. Buraka Som Sistema get painted with dayglo synths on top of a bubbling b-line. It's beautiful how this drops back into it's groove after the breakdown.
  3. Who's Afraid of Rio? - Daniel Haaksman
    Total club dirt from the head of Germany's MAN Recordings. You're dirt, Haaksman. Dirt!
  4. Midnight Stalker - Drums of Death
    Honking synths and and heart-stopping strings on this queasy/uneasy creeper.
  5. Crimewave (Sinden mix) - Crystal Castles Vs Health
    Usually we can take or leave Sinden 'cos loads of his stuff really blunt, but this is realy nicely done.
  6. Township Funk - Mujava
    More rattly, wobbly club business. It's great this got licensed by Warp cos it's got LFO/Tricky Disco all over it.
  7. Im Nin Alu - (Scottie B mix) - Ofra Haza
    Sparse-as-you-like club cut-up of Ofra Haza's 80s original on Money Studies.
  8. Who's The Badman? - Dee Patten
    Massive appache break and skanking bassline make for a total killer on Leftfields Hard Hands. 1992-style.
  9. Breathe - Drums
    More caustic, electro wallop for the floor from Greco-Roman.
