Mix Monday: DJ Shandy

Just picked up the brand new mix from Bristol garage don DJ Shandy. As co-founder of the legendary Crazylegs club nights, he has played alongside some of the biggest names in UK Bass music and, given the amount of dubs in this new mix, they’ve been slipping him some choice cuts under the counter. Exclusives from Zed Bias, Roska, Marcus Nasty and Hardhouse Banton nestle alongside bangers from the likes of Tony Williams, Geeneus and Seiji. Perfect fire to warm a rainy monday.

Todd Edwards comes to Bristol

For my first blog post of the new decade, I can't resist mentioning yesterday's official opening of the world's tallest manmade structure, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai. It stands at a collosal 828m (2,717ft) and the summit hosts what is quite possibly the most terrifying view I think I've ever seen....



One man, however, who doesn't need to build a Tower of Babel to get to Heaven is garage legend, Todd "the God" Edwards. The lovely people at Crazylegs (in their LoveBug guise) are, unbelievably, giving him his Bristol debut this Saturday night / Sunday morning at Basement45 and he'll be treating his two-stepping congregation to a top notch selection of his newest productions alongside some of his old garage classics. If his latest FACT mix is anything to go by, he is currently on fine form!



Worth checking out are two productions Todd's been giving away for free last month, one new, one old. The first is a rather surprising rework of Japanese noise metal band Boris, the second is an old unreleased beat from the vaults. I understand Todd's working on a website at the moment where a lot of previously unavailable versions of his tracks / remixes will be available for the first time as mpfrees which will launch later this year.
