Following up from our Blondes remix, here’s another slab of ‘Ice house’.
Something a little deeper, this remix was actually made when London was under a deep blanket of snow, inspiring us to do something a little icy! Bit of an experiment, wanted something that was deep and ambient but also worked on a peak time floor.
Korg m1 and Mono poly, lots of filter… all heavily seasoned with some slammin’ drums
Out on Tusk Wax this week, vinyl only. HERE
Another from the mysterious Moxie back catalog i’m digitalising. Anyone who has seen us play over the last couple of months will remember this big one, thanks to a big-ass balloon landing on the decks at love fever this got a rewind :) A killer cut of Betty Wright’s ‘Where is the love’ that always does damage… it doesn’t ever leave my side.

Rather epic acid house with a sleazy 80s freestyle twist from another illusive Belfast producer – Moody B. She dropped on Council House records (again from Belfast) last year! This super sleazy builder has been in the bag for quite some time! Classic 303 and 707 drums matched with a rich hi-nrg ‘Stevie B-esque’ synth work brilliantly!
Check out more mixes from the B and his click an get trippin’!

Some more sleazed out Nu Groove greatness. That mystical darkness sound you associate with NYC in the early 90′s…trawling the Streets of Rage, with a sense of fear. So stripped but covered in emotive quality, the sound of the underground.

Straight up soulful Detroit vibes right via Belfast! Blissed out moody house from one of our favourite local duos Hurt Russell. It’s part of their new ‘Queensbridge jams’ ep which drops on IIfonx records this week! Heat

FMB Exclusive! – We’re super lucky to have gotten our hands on Sophie Lloyd’s sultry late night burner of a remix for Lana Del Rey! This has been approached very tastefully and will certainly lend itself to some special moments on the sunset terraces (also guaranteeing a floor full of girls) What’s more…we’ve got the WAV on offer. Grab it while it’s hot!

One of my favorite tracks of the weekend, courtesy of the Love Fever boys. Some of the finest African funk straight out of 85′, summer vibes are-a comin’

Straight up jackin’ EP forthcoming on Belfast label Seven Music. Kastil brings through his love for the old school jersey sound… big chords, heavy snares and sleazy horns. A quality 4 tracker that relies more on precision sound design and less on modern studio trickery. Keep an eye out for it!

Mesmerizing 90s detroit always sounds good after a heavy weekend! Big big sound from Phase 1, with deep dreamy synths and proper low rolling muscle beats, the signature sound (all the records where released by J.C. Smith II..) of the epic but short lived Decisive Records.

Some oldschool, vinyl-only house vibes from Tel Aviv! Polar Pair is made up of 6funk5 and Botanika label boss, NDV. They certainly know how to party in Tel Aviv and these boys have muscled up to create a synth’d out beast, melted to the drums by a super strong vocal ripping right the way through it. The flip is also pretty tasty, a much housier and deeper remix by Juju & Jordash, one to get lost in!
Grab a 192 download of Hip Shakin’ Mama here… if you like it keep it alive and go buy the vinyl!!

Now we get down to some insanely energetic (and crisp) garage house vibes from ’93, and although this track kinda feels on the commercial end of things, it’s a killer! It encapsulates what was truly great about the more funky side of the 90s… gettin’ proper wild on the dancefloor.

Ain’t no party like an Underground Quality party, proof is in this video. Esteban rippin’ the roof off Tape club in berlin with his live interpretation of this track. It was released a while back and I’ve heard it gettin’ nailed by the likes of Bashmore and MCDE. Stone cold groove you need to own.

Dan Snaith aka Caribou aka Daphni can really do no wrong. He works an arp2600 like its his spaceship and this track goes next dimension, spinning out of control but you get the impression he is just toying with us for fun… swing patterns on the drums sliding in and out of time with perfection, masterclass production.

80′s pop-funk sleaze at it’s benchmark. Produced by NYC’s Mark Kamins in 83′ with his Danceteria floor in mind, probably why it didn’t do so well in the charts but killed it in the clubs. Boogie Cartel have chopped this up and made full use of the vocal on the intro, but also dubbed it out in the second half to work the floor…really top and effective edit. Check out their soundcloud for some more killer edits, including one of the huge Barbra Norris Heavy Hitter :)

‘Sleaze’ is too often used in the pejorative. I would like to reclaim the word for Russ Meyer (pictured), Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Federico Marrakech, and every man with too much red wine in him. It’s a term that can be a force for good. Sleaze on!
