The Boogaloo Crew & Hylu >> Vibe

The Boogaloo Crew & Hylu, two former Get Low guests, have collaborated to bring out 'Vibe', a understated soulful summer track with shuffling garage beats that one doesn't tire of no matter how many times you play it on repeat.

It comes along with a selection of very strong remixes.  Hospital Records' Joe Syntax throws his chips in with a light techy D&B remix, and Greymatter goes all future with juttery Funky rhythms and stabs.

Well done Black Butter Records, a fantastic release.

Geesus Host vs Wiley

Geesus Host just sent this over, and it's great.  He's done an awesome job of experimenting with Wiley lyrics over soundscapes not usually associated with the Grime artist.  Frankly, Geesus Host has made it work superbly.

In his own words...

"i've been a fan of Wiley for a number of years so when i had the acapella's for his 100% Publishing album i picked my favourite 5 tracks and remixed them. I really wanted see what he'd sound like over a different set of soundscapes. 

I recorded these tracks over the course of 1 week, the important thing was to catch a vibe and roll with it so thats just what i did. Its hard to classify exactly what genre these tracks are, think electronic beats, future beats, future garage, wonky, etc etc etc.

Shout to Wiley, please enjoy and spread the love. make sure you go buy his album and support independent music.

I didn't compile this EP with the idea of making money out of doing this, i did this for my love of remixing and experimenting with beats."

They're free to download. 

 Get on this, it's dope.

GRIME Tattoo Age PART 3

This is the final part of the Vice Tattoo Age series, featuring GRIME.  It takes a far more personal look at Grime's psyche, and his need to constantly push himself and create in order to be satisfied.


On the horizon for VBS is a new documentary coming out, 'The Rebels of Libya'.  This looks epic.

GET LOW AT OUTLOOK FESTIVAL 2011

Outlook Festival is the biggest bass music event of the year.

 This is the Dungeon where we'll be playing for 2011.

"A long dark tunnel that curves round on it itself is the perfect place for the more upbeat rave sets that Outlook accommodates. The shape of the venue funnels the sound from the two central stacks to create an epic sound at every inch of the room. At 300 capacity it is one of the site’s smaller arenas, an arched room curving round 180 degrees, which will provide a great area for some newly breaking sounds and well-loved rising stars in dancefloor music."

We're taking over the arena on Friday 2nd September - Midnight to 1:30AM.  Check this link to see how it was last year we played at Outlook.

HYPE IS NOT THE WORD!  Limited edition Get Low t-shirts will be available for sale on the night and throughout the festival.  Some may get thrown to the gyaldem in the crowd...

URBAN NERDS CARNIVAL WARM UP 2011

Urban Nerds are throwing down the best Notting Hill Carnival Warm Up party this Saturday at XOYO, bringing all kinds of underground sound goodness.

You can get in-depth info on all the artists on the Urban Nerds event page, so we figured the next best way to get you familiar with the main line-up names and get into the Carnival groove would be to gift you with their most recent mixes.  Inspired, eh?

AUDIO DOUGHNUTS >> THIS SUNDAY!

Click on flyer for more info

Audio Doughnuts are holding a killer party this coming Sunday, and it's looking set to be a sell out.

For the first 100 people in it's completely free entry, and then only a fiver before midnight.  We'd recommend getting there super early.

They've got a killer line-up starting with Pinch cracking out a multi-genre set. I'm a huge fan of Boddika, and can't wait to see him live for the first time.  French Fries is gonna be absolutely sick, and I'm looking to run into one of the guys in Mista Men again after having a jolly ol' time at Bloc.

However, there's one name I'm especially excited about.

I met and became friends with Kozee from going to Dubstep nights when I lived in San Francisco, and she's a bloody awesome person and DJ.  She's a blast, and she's DJ'ing at this event in a very rare UK appearance.  Check her out mane!

This is her forthcoming remix coming out on Sounds of Sumo.

NEW SMUTLEE MIX >> NYC >>

Meet Smutlee and you'll meet one of the nicest blokes ever.  Other than that it also turns out you'll be meeting an incredible party DJ who's carved quite the reputation, earning a residency at superclub Fabric, doing mixes for Vice, as well as currently having a remix out on Mad Decent.  Right now he's pushing the Moombahton sound in the UK, being the UK's go-to guy in the scene.

Here's his latest mix.

"Here's my set from my debut in NYC last friday, at Que Bajo. Was such a good party and really enjoyed my set, so I decided to re-record it.Sadly it's not the actual live version with rewinds and Uproot Andy & Geko Jones on the mic, but you should still get a good vibe from the mix. Had to follow a super hype set from Uproot Andy, so began with House, then brought it down to moombahton, dancehall, and even got to throw in Big Pun! Hope you enjoy."

Squarehead Mix >> Standard Procedure Session #3

Squarehead Standard procedure session #3 10th August by Standard Procedure Sessions on Mixcloud

Squarehead is one of my favourite new producers. His productions simply have that edge which set him apart from other producers and I reckon he's going places. A signing from one of the 'major' underground labels shouldn't be too far off. Here's a great house mix from him recorded just over a week ago.

PART 2 >> GRIME >> TATTOO AGE

 Part 2 of the Tattoo Age feature on the most respected tattoo artists in the field, GRIME.  This episode gives a little back story into how a young skateboarder in Grand Junction, Colorado who thought his future was in mathematics became one of the world's most accomplished tattoo artists, as well as a look at his awesome board collection.

VAGABONDZ FUNDRAISER THIS FRIDAY

If you find yourself in North London, we'd recommend checking out this fundraiser run by Vagabondz, to contribute aid towards the famine in Somalia.  All of the profits are going to charity. 

 They're also hosting a fierce raffle where you could win 2 Outlook tickets, 2 V Festival tickets and a load of Puma merchandise. Woi!

GREAT NEW SERATO PICTURE DISCS >> R.I.P. MISERY

Serato have released a strong collection of control discs for their Serato Artist Series, and these ones are a respected inclusion.  These celebrate New Zealand artist Misery.

" Misery was the alter-ego of New Zealand born artist Tanja Jade, who breathed her uniquely dark influence into Tanja's art until her exorcism in October 2010.

Misery's characters were cheeky, whimsical, cute and always dark. Misery fused childlike wonder and the macabre together in a way that captivated fans worldwide.

However after 13 years together, Misery's overbearing dark influence led Tanja to stage a public exorcism, so she could feel free to pursue other artistic endeavors and send Misery back to Miseryland. An auction of remaining Misery works and farewell exhibition followed.

This collectable Serato Artist Series picture disc is one of Misery's final commissions, and commemorates 13 years of her exciting life. "

And they're specially engineered to be super-lightweight!

You can buy them now here.

PS. I was one of the people that got the limited edition Whitelabel.net X A-Trak X Nike+ Picture Disc.  

Did I keep it in mint condition?  Did I fuck.

Doctor - Bad Bwoy

 Doctor-Bad bwoy by thisisdoctor

Big shout to my man T-Vicious for making me wise about this.  This is a big track that's got the likes of Stinkahbell gnashing to remix.  Free download too!

Psychologist - Injury (My Panda Shall Fly remix)

 Psychologist - Propeller (My Panda Shall Fly remix) by psychologistmusic

Psychologist has just released a new EP and this is a remix of the title track.  It's also a free download. Sweet.

Additionally, we got sent this awesome Kool Clap remix ages ago and always meant to post it.  It's absolutely sick.

NEW SUMMER 2011 RANGE FROM NICE UP!

Nice Up! have brought out a new range of t-shirts for the Summer, and they're looking dope.

Diplo, Toddla T & Ms Dynamite have been spotted wearing these garms.  Not only that, they seem to have a limited sale going on, where every tee of theirs costs less than a score.  Get in there before they get snapped up.

Looking like I'm gonna have to get one to console myself as my vinyl of Nice Up anthem Limber Up has gone walkabout.  Screwing!

LONDON RIOTS

Whilst the Arab people overthrow tyrants, the disenfranchised, angry and opportunistic poor youth of Britian loot trainers from JD Sports and want to watch the world burn.  Go figure.

Tonight, London seems to has calmed down due to a massive influx of police officers.  So step up Manchester and Birmingham which looks set on showing the London boys how it's done.

Planking!

 There's already reports of a JCB being joyrided down streets looking to crush cars, mugging, police letting their dogs off the leash and petrol bombs being thrown.  Just now hearing reports of large gangs of vigilantes looking to protect their ends tonight, like the Turks did last night.

Exciting stuff, eh?

To be truly honest, and I'm not saying this just 'cause we help them out now and again, but the Vice Riots live blog feed has been the best internet source of keeping up to date with all the juicy stuff.

Looks like it's gonna be a wild night!  It's a shame Notting Hill Carnival is likely to be shut down this year though... Bummer.

VEIRS

VIERS is another new artist I've just stumbled across.  Very clean sounding future bass with an understated cool to them.  I bet he produces with sunglasses on.  Not over extending himself with VSTs, Vier's has stuck to the sounds he likes.  When listened together, you can slowly tease out a developing signature sound.  Ice cold.

GRIME - THE TATTOO ARTIST

GRIME is the next featured artist of VBS's Tattoo Age series, and the first full episode just launched.
Although sporting no tattoos myself, I'm fascinated by them.  And tattoo artists themselves are pretty interesting individuals.  I would know, I've got a mate who's one.  He's called Rytch Soddy, runs his own studio and inked to the nines, with shaved hair and mini-pink dreads.  He's also highly well-spoken and entertains an interest in physics.

For weeks, my flatmates have been trying to bundle me in a car and force me to get a '66' tattoo.  It's the house number we live in and they've all got one.  I've managed to dodge every ambush so far...

KULTURE - ROCK THE BOAT

 Rock the Boat [FREE 320 here: http://t.co/HM19xKn] by KULTURE

Great track from Kulture.  Serious Lovestep vibes.

You can grab this track through 'Social Unlock', which is a neat beta feature from Soundcloud.  Don't worry, it's clean, unobtrusive and quick.  Essentially, you can download the track once you link up your twitter account and tweet about it.  I think that's pretty cool.

DOWNLOAD IT THROUGH SOCIAL UNLOCK HERE.  REQUIRES TWITTER ACCOUNT.

GET TO KNOW TRUSTA. SWAMP 81 STRAIGHT KILLING IT.

TRUSTA is Swamp 81's newest signing.  He's no new kid on the block though, Trusta is actually an alias for finnish Dubstep producer Tes La Rok.  Exploring the 130bpm soundscape and using mostly hardware and analogue gear, Trusta's pushing "ghetto minimal footwork" - to use his own words.

BASICALLY, TRUSTA'S TRACKS ARE AMAZING.










See what I mean?  Absolutely bloody killer.

DOPE MTTM TEE

DOPE tee from Married to the Mob.

"Looks like I'm gonna have to choke a bitch" - a quote from a very dear friend of mine and highly T-Shirt worthy.

GET LOW HOSTS ROOM 2 @ RAISE - 19th AUG

Ahoy hoy, just a quick shout to everyone in London next Friday, Get Low Cartel will be hosting room 2 at RAISE Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle.

So apart from putting on disgusting line-ups, the boys like to give something back which brings on a different type of club vibe as everyone feels almost part of something. 

So if you are in London, definitely make it down to Corsica on Friday 19th to catch some filthy beats in room 1 and the classic Get Low party vibes in room 2.

Full line-up :

Room 1
