Sunday Headaches


Ouch.

That four letter word seems like a pretty adequate way to summarise the general feeling for us come Sunday morning and after this weekend, it couldn't be more relevant. Despite the feelings of dizziness, nausea and vertigo, we decided to shoot out some of the tracks we've received over the two day break. It's a random collection and theres no method to our madness, so just enjoy the tracks and download and play them - pretty damn simple if you ask me. Oh and one last thing before we jump into it... we are currently asking YOU the readers who you would like us to feature next! It's a status update on out Facebook page and you can reach it by hitting : http://www.facebook.com/fridgejetmusic. DO IT!

Afrojack is simply amazing. It's very hard to find words to describe what he does, but the Dutch house producer seems to have a nack for writing tunes people want to hear. The latest 'Ministry of Sound' album 'Underground' is a testament to just how hot he is right now, with his tracks taking up over 50% of the first CD. He splattered his signature goodness all over Family nightclub recently and for punters who were lucky enough to experience it first hand, things got a little crazy. We've included two bootlegs for anyone who's as addicted to him as we are. You have the man himself, Angger Dimas and Walta to thank for these!

Brodinski has made a name for himself via a series of versatile and ear catching productions and he could probably ride his wave of success all the way to retirement - but he's not. Still putting in more effort than ever, its amazing how different the French producer is in comparison to his Parisian peers. The guys programming is straight up impeccable and its easy to be left dumbfounded at the lack of limits he holds. Want proof? Check out his 'My Jerk' mixtape thats just dropped. After a string of electro/bassline and club productions, Louis smashed a straight hip-hop tape from nowhere, conjuring up what I can only describe as magic! We've also included a bit of Skream, a tune Brodinski favours highly and posted on his rad blog SmokeMashine! Check it out. 

We got a line to us dropped about upcoming DJ and producer Danny Dove and we'll safely say we must have missed his introduction to the world. With the name ringing no bells what-so-ever, we were surprised to learn the kid already has remixes for the likes of Moby and Empire of the Sun, alongside having airplay on Pete Tong's Essential Selection radio show. Wow! His latest EP out on Glam Rox Records has a big room uplifting feel, including remixes from eSquire, Alex Miles and a cool dubstremental. We've included a few tunes for you to get a taste and if you like the EP be sure to buy the 'One Life' EP right HERE!

Bird Peterson!



 Ocelot are James Welsh and Cory Kilduff.

Their new track 'Our Time' is taken from their forthcoming debut album 'No Requests', out in 2010, and it's one of the first tracks the duo wrote ‘together’… “We started out writing while I lived in Austin, Texas and the Jimmy lived in Leeds, UK. Pieces of the track would get sent back and forth over iChat until riffs and arrangements began to take shape. When it came time to do the vocals neither of us wanted to sing so the vocoder was an obvious choice.”

Having already enjoyed the first nibble of blog recognition earlier this year, the track now comes with new remixes from Kap10Kurt, Bird Peterson and Calvertron. “Kap10kurt was immediately on a short list of people we wanted to remix the track” says Cory, "His affinity for 80's movie montage songs resonated with us in a big way. We wound up swapping mixes and remixed his track Mission Complete".

Today we have the Bird Peterson remix, as you probably could have guessed. A heavy style, elements of dubstep and grime. TUNE!

Gettin' Rich



Our main man from Massachusetts, B. Rich, picked up our acquaintance quite awhile back as he was learning his feet and getting into the production game. Even back then, the snappy works he sent us (check the back post here) signaled that big things were coming and considering he was cruising round town with his two best mates AC Slater and Udachi... things were bound to go well, and here we are. Half a year down the track and a bunch of EP's and jam-packed shows later, we've got a trendy little serving from the busy man. This time, he runs a dubstep tune thats got promise, even if you rolled your eyes when you read that! 'We Ball Harder' was due for EP release (Party Like Us Records link here) but things got a little murky, so he's given us the go ahead and we're throwing it out for everyone to enjoy!

D-D-D-D-Dem Slackers



Recently much was thrown about regarding the current dubstep trend, a very similar movement to the one into fidget house a number of years ago. Whatever the reasons, its producing a new sounding music that the masses are demanding - and to cope with the demand? The DJ's have upped the supply. While the traditional juggernauts of dubstep will remain constant, the style is been splashed around by many other artists. Dem Slackers (remember the name they are amazing) often lay a little dub tep into their tunes, but throw in a variety of sounds that always seem to compliment each other. They are sitting on the back of a slightly delayed 'Joker' EP release which could not be passed by on Beatport, a true showcase of their current skill and a compliment to their style. Well, on offer is not the Joker EP but rather their latest work on the new Mightyfools release, 'Amsterdam'. You guessed it, they drop dub! The track is amazingly polished and even gets anti-dubsteppers dubstepping. Check the guys on all the links and buy their shit!

Apparently Dub be Good




There's no denying the fact that evolution and progression spell change, so its to no suprise that a few years after 'fidget' burst up the scene and took over there's a new genre in town. Dubstep has started to creep in, and lets face it - it's a whole new ball game. Described as 'encorporating grime into 2-step garage sound', the latest craze hits bass levels harder and longer than its predecessors and wields its hands to the underground. While it may be a pain in the ass to dance to, its got some of the hardest hitting producers out there twisting the style into fame. Rusko and Benga have been throwing their stuff in the scene for years and have amassed loads of support internationally - but perhaps one of the most well known around this part of the world is A1 Bassline. 

More About A1 Bassline Here

The mysterious young producer/DJ recognised more fame than most when his Girl Thing EP smacked out across blogs around the world and took him upwards of his expectations. In turn, he must of fully accepted the power of blogs, and kicked off his own. Since then he has released an array of free downloads to the general public - keeping everyone stimulated by his dubstep beats and banging them out more and more often. Check out a few of the downloads he has thrown up, then jump onto his blog to get the rest - might as well jump on the dubstep bandwagon hey? Just change your dancing style.
