Running out of things to call these massive tune posts, as awesome as they are. ‘The tune station’ isn’t great is it, but I really like the picture, would be nice wouldn’t it, if we could catch gondolas instead of trains, quite impractical though, actually it would be shit. Anyway here’s some awesome new tunes including heavy dubstep, quirky tech, wobbly fidget house and downright madness. Big thanks to A Sound a Day blog for a few of these tunes, and Squeegie for one.

New French artist Beataucue is taking the scene by storm with remixes of huge artists and tracks. His warped and fresh take on tribal and tech house is really catching the eye of many top dj’s and as a result is getting a lot of play time, even got a radio rip from Kissy Sell Out’s radio one show, safe. I’ll put the tracks in order of how much I like ‘em (best at the top).
NT89 & DISTRAKT – PUMPIN (BEATAUCUE REMIX) (removed by request)
And now a little bonus, since I’m posting a remix of Noob & Brodinski’s, here’s a little taster of their new EP ‘Peanuts Club’ in the form of a great tech house track from it.

Dance blog kings Crookers are back with two new remixes. The first of Fever Ray has a slightly minimal tune with a strangely catchy hook and a thumping bass drum. The second of Tiga’s ‘Beep Beep Beep’ includes monotone distorted bass and high ravy synths. Great stuff.

Big tune awaiting from Lee Mortimer andLaidback Luke. We only have a sneaky preview, but enough to tell you that there’s a funky wobble monster on the way to tear your house down! The other Lee tune is a remix of Franz Ferdinand is a house version of the original but still very much enjoyable with cheeky synth lines and a thumping beat.

Fake Blood’s always on fire. The new remix of The Gossip brings the Fake Blood signature sound and uses the vocals excellently. Also get your hands on their superb EP by buying it with the link below!
Sorry that picture is a bit intense, but then again it is Hostage with some new tunes, INTENSE! ‘Badman Sound’ really lives up to its name with whirring mental bass and ravy synths. Hostage has truly switched to the afrobeat as many producers have. It also shows in his other tune ‘Hanging’which is more funky with an old disco sample and a bleepy bendy synth.

This mix really contains brand spanking new stuff and really sums up the best dance of TODAY! Get all the tracks off the mix when you can, some you can even find on this blog!
Tracklisting:
1. Toxic Avenger – “Toxic is Dead” (Drop the Lime Remix)
2. The Count & Sinden – “Mega”
3. B. Rich – “Make Me Dance” (Autoerotique’s Hey White Girl Remix)
4. MJ Cole – “AO” (MJ’s Open Your Gob dubb)
5. Autoerotique – “Gladiator” (AC Slater Remix)
6. Adam Freeland – “Only a Fool” (AC Slater Remix)

I love when you get some real gems in your inbox from unknown producers which range from giving you a little smile to raging about it all week. Well we have a few impressive obscure artists who need a voice, and my friends, Wizards Are Better is the voice for banging music! We have a mash-up, a couple of original tracks and mixes, but one track I really feel needs a very fucking special mention.
This track is by mod3rn0 who dropped this in our soundcloud about a month ago, now i’ve only just got to grips with all the web thingys we have for the blog since being away in India and found this and it blew my mind! Sounds you’ve never heard in hype hype hyped up disjointed dubstep track. Its Raffertie with the bass turned up and grimed up, possible? apparently yes! CHECK THIS SHIT!
The next track is a bouncy crunk track with a safe hip-hoppy vibe to it, maybe its the rapping? I don’t know….. But yeah, would be a great track to drop in most clubs.
Now a superb mash-up of ‘Love to Edit’ by Crookers and one of the best tracks ever made, Jack Beat’s remix of ‘Jack Got Jacked’ by AC Slater. The track meshes the two original intros together, then drops the ‘Jack Got Jacked’ main drop with a little editing which really hits the spot.
We’ve had a mix from Company C in a recent post an awesome tracklisting mainly consisting of the best of Jack Beats and A1 Bassline (can’t go wrong!). Now we have another, Ghetto Bass pt. 2 and I here there’s another 2 to come which I’m excited about. I love mixtapes with your favourite tracks on it for the car or just to play at a party, saves pausing the ipod and changing the track! This one has another awesome tracklisting, some of my favourite tracks ever. You’ve found the key to my heart Company C!
Tracklisting:
Pull Up – DJ Manaia
I Wouldn’t Be Like This (Andy George Remix) – The Futureheads
Turbo Love (Shinichi Osawa Remix) – Bag Raiders
Koffee was up (Mightyfools / too much caffiene remix) – De grote Vinnie, Donnie en Sjakie show
RER D (Villeneuve Triage Edit) – Mustard Pimp
Addict (Original Mix) – Mightyfools
Atomic (Original) – TJR
Sobrevivente de Rave (Sound Of Stereo Remix) – DJ Manaia ft. Deize Tigrone
Shell Shakes (remastered) – Figure
Better Off As Two (A1 Bassline Remix) – FrankMusik
Slasher – GTronic
And last but not least, a lovely dubstep mix from J-Drop. This one features some of the most ghetto and dirty dubstep around. Check out the second last track, Adam Prescott’s ‘Recession Beater’, WOOOO!
Tracklisting:
Bar9 – Midnight
Nero – This Way
Jakes & Joker – 3K Lane
Wiley – Marijuana (Ft. Frisco)

Glastonbury was an experience beyond explanation. So much amazing, strange, fun, trippy, euphoric, chilled, banging stuff going on. You could stay in the dance village and dance all day, or chill at the stone circle with a spliff, or go and get stuck in to the best bands the world has to offer, and SO MUCH MORE. Blur was my highlight, having been into them in my childhood and now just appreciating how diversive and musically brilliant they are. Damon Albarn cried on stage which got me going as well!
Animal Collective were out of this world. All of their songs were mixed into one long, dreamy trip with tight singing harmonies and synths. The light show they put on was entrancing and I found myself doing some real hippy dancing throughout the whole thing. ‘Brother Sport’ was the closing song and as thats my absolute favourite, I left on an obscene high!Apart from that, out of the actual bands, I saw Spinal Tap who were hilarious!
The dance village was my home. The weekend was kicked off early on thursday with Raffertie who filled out the Dance Lounge (huge) and as this was one of the only acts on at the time. But he was insane, luring in the unknowing crowd with classic dance tunes and then dropping them into dirty bassline, what a way to start Glasto! I’m not quite sure what days all the rest of the dance acts were on as its a bit of a blur at the moment! But I do remember that we saw Skream & Benga who obviously didn’t dissapoint. Rusko got his bass guitar out and Joker (directed towards by Skream when I bumped into him, hopefully not to get me to fuck off!) was probably my favourite dubstep act. Managed to catch the end of Don Diablo who was well into it before Jack Beats which was pretty empty but fucking awesome as he played all his own tracks (incedently, I heard ‘UFO K-hole bass’ three times over the weekend!!). Scratch Perverts was a let down due to their speakers fucking up even though they had a sick set. Wow loads of others, Deadmau5 was BANGing and Zinc had Benga bigging him up on stage which added to the great atmosphere his sounds produced. Oh, and of course Crookers who got the whole tent stomping even though at one point the speakers fucked up. Annie Mac was very excellent as well playing the best of all genres whilst Caspa played some evil, alien dubstep. Basically the dance village was a massive rave with constant floor fillers of every dance sub genre pumping out all day and night.
As we haven’t been able to bring the tunes, here’s a tasty selection mostly including artists we saw, so it does relate to Glasto a bit?!
Firstly we have a euphoric sexy synth driven tune with some funky bass, resolving into a great house track.
Now a new Crookers remix, jackin house to the max with horns!
One of the classic tunes at the moment. Heard it so many times at Glasto to my great delight. Major Lazer is taking over the blogosphere in a big way.
A dirty dirty dubstep remix of La Roux. Quite similar to all the other of its kind but don’t we just fucking love it!
Zinc is another guy taking over the blogosphere and rightly so with a new sub-genre dubbed ‘crack house’ by the man himself. Formerly known for producing drum ‘n’ bass, he’s been converted to the house side of dance and thank the lord for that. Much the same as Hostage who produces banging electro wobble today after being a d’n'b head.
On the subject of convertion from d’n'b to electro, AC Slater has converted ‘Boom Style’ into some funky, bassy electro. GO ON MY SON!
Sexy techno/electro. Clean, punchy drums have a stabby bass to get you moving.
Not just posting bangers here. The Roots vs. Don Diablo is very cool and respect for MJ on the other Don track.
The mixtape was sent to us by a dude called Company C and its very well mixed with loads of our faves Jack Beats and A1 Bassline.
Tracklisting:
Get Down – Jack Beats
Its What you do to me (jack beats remix) – Steed Lord
What (Dub) – Jack beats Ft Mc Dynamit
Where’s My Money (Caspa Remix – Jack Beats Re-Edit) – TC
Hooligans (A1 Bassline Remix) – Don Diablo & Example
Back of the Van (A1 Bassline Remix) – Ladyhawke
Don’t Let Go (A1 Bassline Radio Edit) – Yo Majesty
Like to Freak (DJ Bam Bam Remix) – Kelevra
It’s Going Down – Lee Mortimer & Foamo
Manabadman (Andy George Re-Fix) – Toddla T
Thats all from me, we’ll see a lot more posting from ‘The Wizard’ now he’s finished his exams which is very exciting!
LONG LIVE GLASTONBURY!
PEACE

after a few months traveling across the vastness that is india i’ve finally returned to london, and fuck, the catching up i’ve got to do!!!!!!
to be honest it’s pretty intimidaing…………..what the fuck man . posts have been too gooooood on wizards!!!
but yes yes after constant ipod and 14h bus rides i’ve got some gems but not necessarily bangers, not necessarily even electronic…..and some ones i’ve spotted over the last day.
i had these 2 songs, along with the new animal collective album, in my head the whole of india. 1st radioactive man, who actually did the first fabriclive cd. he is some bad ass hombre, the mood of this song goes beyond darkness. 2nd is the song at the end of the darjeeling limited (wes anderson, geezer), les champs-élysée by joe dassin and it’s just a beautiful tune.
the new hostage mix, dirrrrrrt!!! (jus click it)

and some sick songs i missed in the past, hot pink delorean are the shit!!! party favour is the fattest tune! and after that sick andy george remix of the futureheads i listened further and his remix of toddla t’s manabadman is HUUUUGE!
and the final batch includes a wicked dub-stepy crookers mix, a nutty remix of warp by dj barletta, a new, and slightly different style, felix cartal remix and finally vouxhall by riva starr….i was previously unacquainted with riva starr but yeah, good good. and especially good seeing as my tickets are booked for bugged out! in union car park!!! SE1!, london, on the 24th of may, which has an outrageous line up: crookers, diplo, boy 8-bit, skream, fake blood, mumdance and now i have riva starr to look forward to as well. this will sell out soon though, very soon.
oh! and for pudding a great dubstep remix of dizzee rascal’s new song bonkers, which features armand van helden, by doorly, sure to be a club hittt! maybe even an anthem of the summer with this remix being it’s evil counterpart. it’s fucking great to be back. peace,
vandalsavage
