Justin Martin Mini Mix

I'm a huge fan of San Franciscan dirty birder Justin Martin so I couldn't hold my excitement when I saw he put together a gastronomic themed Mini Mix for Annie Mac's Radio 1 podcast. With lashings of massive tracks and his own original productions, topped with layers of genius and finished off with sprinkles of hilarity, it's one not to miss! Also check him out on the cover of this months IDJ mag.

mmm tasty!

DIRTY BIRD

I'm absolutely loving pretty much everything The Martin Brothers (Justin and Christian) and the Dirty Bird label are doing right now. Justin, for me, is on fire at the moment with hordes of outstanding remixes and originals, that I am not going to begin listing, firing him into the limelight.
The Martin Brothers upcoming remix for Riva Starr's and Major Lazer's "Jump" acts as even more proof of why the Dirty Birders are ruling the roost and if this video of Justin Martin dropping their remix is anything to go by, the San Fran based label (who this year are celebrating their 5th birthday) look to keep on flying high.

ALSO
Check out the Dirty Birder's latest release Tom Flynn's self titled EP, over on Beatport, who's minimal grooves are definitely worth your time. On top of that, be sure to check out the previews of Bird Brain Remixed, a compilation of all the remixes from Dirty Bird head rooster Claude Von Stroke's album "Bird Brain". Set for release in December, its jam packed full of some real tasty nuggets, so get on it!

First off what I have been up to. I just got back from a 3 day trip to Wagga Wagga, NSW with Heaps Decent to go into the Riverina Juvenile Justice center. We wrote some tracks with the Guys in there and some of the boys were like seriously good rappers. DJ Levins and I have almost finished the songs and they will be available from the Mad Decent blog soon enough. The last time heaps decent went out to same center they took A-Trak with them and he has finished an amazing song with the kids. The song and video’s are all over on the Heaps Decent (heapsdecent.com) site. We can’t take any video’s from inside the center tho to protect the kids identity.

This is a bit geeky but I just picked up this bit of kit the other day. It’s the first dedicated Serato controller and I love it. It’s been out since November last year but I had never seen it anywhere until I saw it on Bass Kleph’s Facebook. I highly recommend it. I have used the korg nano controllers but they are just a pain in the ass compared to this. Everything syncs up perfect.

Music I have been listening to. I picked up the new Mr Flash EP today. So killer. I also found out today that Mr Flash produced one track on the new Mos Def album. There you go. Also Justin Martin is touring around at the moment so I have jumped back into the Justin Martin archives and have been pulling out some of his older tracks which I just can’t get enough of!

Adam Bozzetto Says Hi (November)

Hey all. Not a whole lot has been happening in the last month. Calm before the storm I think! I personally have been finishing off some tracks for Potty Mouth Music. Hopefully a second release is not to far off in the future.

I do have a tonne of new music in which to write about however. The two that stand out are the new Strip Steve EP and Justin Martin and Riva Starr teaming up. The new Strip Steve EP.......Amazing. I like that there is a move to a more funky/disco sound with acts like Strip Steve, Boyz Noise, Fake Blood etc. It makes it easier for myself to play their music in my sets. Also a five track EP, not just two or three.  I think its kind off meeting a middle ground between what I guess I am used to as ‘fidget’ and Indie Dance/Nu Disco.

Strip Steve - AM/ FM

Also I am excited that the not minimal/not fidget sound (like the label Sound Pellegrino) is giving a new life to Justin Martin and Riva Starr. I remember all the tech house heads were the only people that would listen to Justin Martin. But now he is back. Here is my favorite tune from the two at the moment.

Talk this time next month!
