Fridgejet Fun Bag - November

Let's just jump right into this one. We've got a bulk serving to throw your way!!

'Simon Says' Gets Heavy

Mikey Mic is the Stockholm sensation storming Hype Machine with his Rolling Stone acclaimed remixes and no-nonsense attitude to big room electro remixes. Turns out he's now taking on hip-hop legend Pharoahe Monch with a Bloody Beetroots-esque rework which is sure to slay some dancefloors, download the two versions below, let us know which one you prefer, and feel free to show this man some love by checking this video to learn a little more.

Breakdown (LA)

The LA producers 'Breakdown' have been making quite the name for themselves since their inception in late 2007. Their releases have turned in the boxes of DJs like Benny Benassi, Laidback Luke, Micky Slim, Z-Trip, DJ Dan, Will Bailey, Donald Glaude, AC Slater and The Freestylers. They've also been busy collaborating with The Sounds, Deadmau5, Will Bailey, MC Flipside, South Rakkas Crew, Hot Pink Delorean, Killa Queenz, Whiskey Pete, Kelevra, Rico Tubbs, & Gigi Barrocco to name a few! But that's not all - they have a big summer coming up with releases on Universal/Motown, One Love (Sony) Australia, Marine Parade, PBR, Simma, Bombsquad and more.


In celebration, they have a string of funky releases to throw your way - free of charge! To kick things off the LA beatmashers have remixed Bouncecamp (the B-more Berliner) with a funky twist. What do you think?

Bouncecamp - New Beat (Breakdown Remix)

'Hold The Line' Remix

To say we have heard a few of these Major Lazer remixes would be an understatement. This one takes a new look at things and the edge has definitely toned itself down. To be honest but, as summer rolls in, there's no complaints about dMon's worthy effort on this one, as he brings to the table a slightly more minamilistic remix. If you haven't heard the name, he's originally from Washington but now residing in Scotland and would love to hear your feedback right here.

The Surecut Kids

We hadn't heard from the crazy Gold Coast lads in awhile so we assumed they had been excecuting some pretty heavy breadbox parties. Turns out they had been working on a tune which found itself in our inbox a few days ago. Truth be told I'm still listening to the last few tunes they sent us, but here's something fresh, complete with that funky artwork they always conjure up. Hit them up and tell the two how good they are right here.

The Surecut Kids - Working Up A Sweat

Summer Vibes!

For over 10 years Canadian bass DJ Phatcat has been tearing up events all over Western Canada performing his own hype blend of Dubstep, Funky, Broken Beats and Bassline House - never shy to incorporate elements of Reggae, Jungle, Garage, HipHop, and Booty Bass riddims into his notoriously exciting performances. Now he's teamed up with another big name in the Canadian scene - Daphutur, comprised of Mark Daniels & The Hugonaught. Also based out of Edmonton the young duo are known for their party-time vibes and genre mashing, with bass music as the focus. Currently with a track featured in DJ Craze's '09 summer mix, this is their first release and they have no plans of slowing down.

"Tell Me Why" is a track of their latest EP (Future Roots Records) and we have it to throw your way in search of feedback. Clipped rave keys set the pace while chopped R&B vox rev up the vibe, that is until the classic vocal wail is let loose and a web of bouncing synths explode with the growling dubstep bass... but what do you think?

THAT IS ALL :)

Black Noise remix Crookers!

With one superbly received EP (Southern Fried Records) and remixes for Trevor Loveys & Sinden, Young Punx, Crookers, Tonka, Laidback Luke & Diplo, the South-Coast based trio Black Noise have pricked some serious interest in recent months and with their next EP close, it seems there’s much more to come.

Southern Fried Records have just authorised the release of their massive remix of Crookers, wobbly bass in full effect, as "Business Man" feat Wiley & Thomas Jules gets some serious treatment! Alongside the awesome Crookers remix attached, check out the mental bit of audiovisual entertainment above (the clip for one of the original tracks on the 'EP2' release) and grab the Black Noise 'Slash N Burn' (October 2009) mix!

B.Rich Dubstep!

Florida MC 'BC' (The Black Child?) has just dropped his debut solo conceptual album 'Time Capsule: Part 1' and is breaking and spitting out some serious waves. The release is all thanks to Peripheral Records and to keep the fun going they have given Fridgejet favorite B.Rich permission to release his dubstep take on 'This Is Not A Song'. He's proved to us time and time again that you can't expect anything short of amazing when you nab one of his tunes and we promise this is no exception. We suggest you grab the remix quickly, check out 'Time Capsule: Part 1' right here and shoot props over to BC for kicking things off with a bang!

 Timoshii and Dopefish

It feels like forever since we have talked about this UK DJ and producer, but maybe that's just because we talk about him a hell of a lot. Consider this segment merely touching base, with a more comprehensive write up on his latest EP coming out next week for all to enjoy. The purpose of this post? To give you all a streamable Timoshii treat coming in the form of his remix for Dopefish, which dropped on Beatport yesterday. Check it out and nab the tune here if you like!

FridgeJet Fun Bag - September #2

After our first (and very popular) installment of the FridgeJet Fun Bag, we've decided to crank out another one to get you going 'till your Parklife ventures. While your probably nursing a hangover from last nights antics, we suggest you snap up all the goodies in this post to benefit your week on the daily grind, not to mention paying the artists a visit and learning more about the stuff you like. Well, here goes.

Killafornia
We haven't had a chance to chat about one of our favorite Brisbane locals in quite some time, so forgive us while we rant a little. While his sets have become centerpieces for good parties and clubs won't keep him off their schedules, but of late it's his production that's really got people talking. Having thrown down some relentless hours resulting in a string of fresh, boppy originals, his latest work puts justice to his work ethic, with 'Say Yeah' getting signed to Phresh Digital and due out soon. We've got a few re-edits from the man himself to get you going until his name splashes into Beatport, so enjoy both and wait in heavy anticipation.

Oliver Leigh - I'm A Coconut (Killafornia's Keepin' It Jackin' Re-Edit)
Mr Oizo - Positif (Killafornia Re-Edit)




The Surecut Kids
Yep, we just gotta chat about them again and to be honest, the more fun loving party tunes they send to our inbox, the better. Maybe its because they suit a beer and the sun, or because you know even the toughest of guests will enjoy them, but The Surecut Kids can't do wrong when it comes to producing tracks. We highly suggest you snap up their latest offering featured below, providing a perfect tune to play as you attempt to mimic their oh-so-cool 'breadbox parties' at your own place. Enjoy it and thank the likeable Gold Coast lads for a good time!

The Surecut Kids - 80/20 (Original Mix)

Royal K
While we like talking about Royal K, we are not so sure on spending our time discussing tunes that you can't escape on any up to date commercial radio station. Fortunatly, we've got a sucker that gives a little more preference to Royal K and less to the original, coming in his remix of 'Sexy Bitch' by David Guetta and Akon. See what you think of this alternative take on a very mainstream effort, and drop Royal K a line to see whats going on in his world.

David Guetta feat Akon - Sexy Bitch (Royal K's Mighty Refix)

Note: Honorable mention and shout out must go to Afrojack's remix of the tune, which spins it way out of proportion but works a treat on sweaty club-goers.

Dylan H
He still hasn't come out to Australia, but surely he's due for some serious travelling soon, with his wicked production work filling up Beatport via a growing mass of record labels. The young gun has just recently shot out a number of free tunes for everyone, which all become readily available on his cool website (available at this link here), and we just have to pass them on. We havn't stopped smashing out his remix of 'Call Me' and it turns out we got a little behind on all his releases, so be sure to check Beatport for exposure to just how busy this talent has been.

Pascal & Pearce - Disko Biskit (Dylan Holshausen's Got The Goods Mix)

Daz Dillenger - Ridin High (Dylan Holshausen's Riding Someone You Know Bootleg)

Bonus: While we are not quite sure what this is, we do know Dylan Holshauson kills Hannah Montana and drops some filth on her ass. A bit of fun is your best bet with this sucka.

Dylan Holshausen Kills Hannah Montana! (Skit)

DJ Axle
While we don't know a whole load about this Jozi DJ, he's released a string of cool techy, funked up originals that prove his talent when it comes to those confusing DAW applications. Simply put, this guy is pretty damn on the ball, with a cool website and a string of big name appearences, his sound seems to be going down a treat with hi fans. We've got a few remixes for everyone to try below, including a taste of his tech orientation, and a heavy dose of his passion for 'fidget'. We'd say this guy is around to stay and if the up-and-comer keeps pumping out tunes of this quality, the name might just pop up a little closer to home.

Reloop - Fucking Society (Axle Touche's FiJaTech Mix)
Axle - Yes Baby (Axle's Funky Wobble Mix)

Enjoy !

FridgeJet Fun Bag - September

Every now and then, starting from today, expect to be served up with what we have decided to call a 'FridgeJet Fun Bag'. Lame name aside, these treats will contain a number of tracks and mix tapes from a bunch of different artists, all of top notch quality. It helps us out in making sure we don't let tracks grow old in our inbox as we watch other blogs post them, so expect more tunes from now on with plenty of these to come. Enjoy!

Aspin & Dipace
Their two DJ/Producers from the UK and to this day, you would be hard pressed to find a big name out there who didn't acknowledge the duo's work. They've remixed the likes of Kyle Watson, Calvertron and Carl Cox, popped up on labels like Cr2 Records, Venga and Wearhouse, and received praises from just about every known name around the block. Given all this, the guys have kept a level head and stayed true to their roots, still serving up that amazing sound that got them a cult of followers so quickly. What's even more exciting is the fact that Aspin & Dipace have dropped a few bootlegs, no hidden tricks, all yours. The tracks are a good sample of what the guys do and will make you go to their Beatport page (right here) and throw some coin their way in an effort to get some more, we hope.

Aspin & Dipace - Low Life (Original Mix)

Aspin & Dipace vs Mojax - Omen's On Fire (Prodigy Bootleg)

Aspin & Dipace vs Conroy - Two Bent Mice (Bootleg)

Royal K + Timoshii
We're not going to blabber on about these two and their history, as we have a comprehensive archive of posts on them (click here for Royal K and here for Timoshii). They are both great producers and work horses. They don't sleep. To be honest we don't even know if they eat. But they produce a tonne of sweet tracks, mix tapes and crazy sets in clubs around the place. Recently, Timoshii has worked over 'Stretcher' from Royal K and it's came out quite nicely. He's allowed a snippet of the 320 to be sampled before you can all get your mitts on the real deal. It's due out on Junky Trunk Records and we insist you check this space for more info in the coming weeks. In the meantime, have a listen to the tune, via Timoshii's Soundcloud.

Black Candy Productions

We haven't giving these guys enough chat since they kicked off quite some time back now. If you don't know who they are, you probably don't go out that much, but that's OK. The team behind it all kicked things off with a huge launch party back in May and have been throwing crazy house parties at Empire Hotel ever since. Maybe it's the different vibe or cool atmosphere, but the crowds keep coming back and the events are going through the roof. If you haven't been to one yet, we suggest making their blog a regular stop off point when your on the computer. Alternatively you could grab them on Facebook. They've recently posted a sweet new mix from Black Candy residents Donnie & Brasco, comprising of all the same sorta tunes the two use to get the crowds going at each party. Enjoy it then catch the duo + more at Here Comes The Sun, the biggest Parklife Pre-Party!

Brascos Bible Reading - The Dalg
