Grievous Angel on Idle Hands – hottest new label on scene?

Amazing new tunage incoming – yes I know, yet more!

Idle Hands is, as the better connected among you know, the fab new label out of Bristol’s magnificent Rooted record shop…

Idle001 was a wonderful bit of subtechno shuffle matched with utterly Bristolian subby skank… and Idle002 is sheer quality, probably even better! The lead cut is Atki2’s utterly RIDICULOUS remix of Hanuman’s Bola which is… well it’s so good I can scarcely put it into words… it’s a superb bit of fat, bouncy deep, deep, DEEEEEEEP house music that is right up there with Theo, MAW, anyone you want to mention. Totally on it, totally next level, if Cooly G had made it she’d the Queen by now. Awesome.

And on the flip is Dub Boy and Atki2’s Tigerflower, a great little post-soca Karnival-style tune that really sets floors alight. Plus of course my own remix of it, which is absolutely BANGING hard crunchy funky. Real peaktime jump up gear. And from a geek perspective, it’s the best mixdown I’ve done yet!

Atki2 is a dynamite producer btw, very underrated – you haven’t heard his simply awesome Time Freezes yet? Ah. Then you haven’t heard the best record of 2010. Trust.

Hot new octapush tunes coming your way

You already know how heavy octapush are live, right? Well, they rock it with a fantastic combination of low end heft and latin-meets-ragga beats. They had a great cut on Soul Jazz Records’ Stepper’s Delight compilation, blew up the Red Bull Stage at this year’s Sonar in Barcelona as well as the Glade Festival, and have a unique sound which combines the Lisbon Kuduro sound with elements of Garage, Dancehall and Techno. You’ll like it. And they’ve got a corking 12 out on Iberian records in a couple of weeks.

Main cut Deixa is a fantastic bit of karnival style banging niceness with ragga beats and 8 bit basslines. Top latino MCing from Toni Clean. Fabulous.

Baila Mundo is even better – hard bouncy jump up with the wonderful MC Zulu – he wot worked with Ghislain Poirier on Go Ballistic, which I remixed.

Dubshhh is what happens when wobble meets rave – cracking little tune actually. They’ve got better ones though.

Buy to pep up your funky sets with something with a bit of welly that’ll still get the girls on the floor. Really good stuff, not deep but proper bangers. Out 2nd November through ST Holdings 2009
