:: NSR003 ::

Already on their 3rd release, Nu Style Records have taken no time in stomping their foot through the stubborn front door of the record label industry. Turn's out they had another swift punch in mind soon after in their 2nd release, with the final jab hooking our email inbox a few days ago.

If you consider yourself a connoisseur of the Nu Style Records label, congratulations, you'll have a ballpark idea of the sound emitting from NSR003. Like previous releases, the 'new kid on the block' label keeps their EP's nice and diverse, throwing what we can only describe as pure filth, wobble, jackin' house and breakbeat elements into a jam packed offering with a bunch of names you know. The crew called up remix services from the well known Kraymer, Jason Score, Nate Metro and Audius, all of which gave very unique takes on a thumping main room original. The EP depicts the progress Nu Style have gone through since their initiation and we won't deny they have come along way from those early days.

Enjoy the complimentary samples courtesy of Paul Howe @ Nu Style Records and be sure to praise all the artists you feel a connection with. Included is a bonus tune sent over by good friend JC Edit, formulating another Kraymer tune he'd been handed. Seems like that Kraymer guy has a solid work ethic and a pretty damn good sound!

Tom EQ

You can check the other blogs to hear a genre based rundown on what Tom EQ produces, but from the man himself? "It's music for the dancefloor that doesn't take itself too seriously". We like that, and we have always liked his tunes, so you can imagine the grin when we noticed he'd shot us some mail with a few audible goodies attached.

For a brief history lesson I'll take pleasure in spitting you five fast facts;

(1) Tom EQ is from the United Kingdom, (2) He has releases on Wearhouse Records, Jack Union, Ho-Ju Records and many more, (3) He makes music that tells his neighbors to fuck off, (4) He won the European DJoust Championship in 2008, beating over 500 DJs and (5), Tom has a new EP for Jack Union Records nearing!

As we raved about before, we have a couple of tunes adequate to satisfy those music taste buds until you can get his latest EP in your mits. See if his remix of VonStroke's 'Vocal Chords' tickles your fancy, perhaps his edit of Switch's famed remix of 'Something On Your Mind'? Even try his remix for Lithuania duo Aout 6 where he serves up a pretty tasty and very tech-heavy tune! Still not a satisfied addict? Fine, there's a few more bonus tunes sourced from Tom EQ's older free range work. Just remember, if you like them be sure to throw your money at his Beatport catalouge here and shoot him some love right here or over there.

Walk Abouts With WoNK - Part 2

Well after 20 days away on tour, 17 flights, 11 gigs and god knows how many different cities and airports, I'm finally home in my own house with my studio rattling to the sounds of some tasty beats.

After getting back my Young Nutz partner (Dixxie) and I decided to get a label up and running. We wanted to bring the underground to everyone, showcase some fresh talent and also some of the usual suspects. Working hard for the past 3 weeks we have created 2 EP's for the launch which will include tunes by Young Nutz, Myself and Escobar and Vito, who we are doing a bunch of collaborations with including some tasty bootlegs which you will hear soon. As a way to launch the label properly we have decided to showcase some of the talent forthcoming on it and put out a big bootleg package which has bootlegs of Shy Fx - Nuttahz. Already testing out the Young Nutz mix on tour and taking a few vids we realised that it is a much loved tune so decided that you readers should get it free (so watch out its coming very soon).

On top of this bootleg we will also be letting loose our Rhythm flow bootleg that we did with Escobar and Vito. It's a Jack Beats style wobbler, mixing up one of our favorite old skool tunes. The labels myspace is up and running RIGHT HERE so check that out and the tunes and if you have anything please feel free to throw it over.

Gig wise things have been a touch quiet since coming home which is good as I get to relax a bit however I have been playing down at the Glasshouse in Stourbridge on Sundays where Dixxie and our friend Benoir run a night called Djs Strut and open the decks up to new talent as well as us being able to test out the new tunes.

I'm heading down to london for my debut there on Saturday at Hidden which will be awesome i can't wait to see what the london crowd are like and its always good to try a new dancefloor. Keep an eye on the label myspace and of course the wonk and young nutz ones as there are some big things coming.

Oh and before I forget much love to Messy Funk Clothing who will be sponsoring Young Nutz, WoNK and WoNKed with their line of t shirts and more from june 4th next year which is their official launch. I will keep you updated with all goings on there.

Much Love,

WoNK.
