Ghislain Poirier - Gutter Riddim

It seems that someone has started a blogging fire in the Steak House! Not to be outdone by Atki2 and Dub Boy, here is my new years blog post!

Future Steak House family member (hold tight for a remix on STEAK 003 and an artist EP to come) Poirier has recently refixed the tunes from his excellent Soca Sound System EP, taking the vocal tracks and splicing them over the new Gutter Riddim.

Most of the UK is buried under a thick carpet of snow but this is the perfect antidote to the bleak midwinter. Karnival heat to warm your cockles. Grab it below.

Hot on the heels of STEAK 001, praised by everyone from Thom Yorke to Sinden comes another 12” of karnival heat from Hanuman and Atki2’s Steak House imprint.

STEAK 002 sees label bosses Monkey Steak (Hanuman and Atki2) take the helm to deliver a release that fuses Soca, Funky and Bashment sounds with global influences and trademark Monkey Steak edits. The result is a record that’ll blow the roof off any dance!

A1: Hyped Up feat MC Zulu is an instant party classic. Featuring the
formidable vocal talents of the original badman MC Zulu. This tune is pure Soca Fire.

STEAK 002 A1 - Monkey Steak feat. MC Zulu - Hyped Up! by Steak House Records

A2: Bombeiros! is the riddim of Hyped Up and a huge tune in its own right.
Chromatic Bass and galloping Soca Beats raise the temperature on this tropical banger. One for the Airhorns Crew!

STEAK 002 - A2 Monkey Steak - Bombeiros! (Hyped Up Instrumental) by Steak House Records

B1: Tigris Riddim. As featured on Toddla T.’s Fabriclive:47 mix. Fragments of Iraqi folk music collide with bubbling bass and tuff bashment beats. Global Bass at its finest.

The Heatwave - Its Official

Apparently its official. We are in the midst of a heatwave. Don't panic though, we still have a while before the crops whither and the earth cracks. Until then I suggest that you get down you local park/garden with a few cold beers and some good tunes and soak up the sun. God knows its rare enough in the UK.

To that end, here's some DJ mixes that are perfect for lazing on a sunny afternoon. First up I have to send some thanks to my man thinkyman (via the always brilliant Generation Bass) who pointed me in the direction of this excellent minimix from Andy Kisaragi of LBFM (don't google LBFM at work, I did and got a surprise) 15 tracks of pure global bass fire in 15 minutes, this mix covers a lot of ground from hip hop to bhangra to balkan beat. Grab it here:

Next up Nick Catchdub's contribution to the excellent (and now defunct I think) Lemon Red mix series. I don't have a track listing but the bmore refix of Sir Duke slays me every time. Grab it here:

Finally, I can't write a post about the Heatwave without mentioning London's favourite bashment peddlars, The Heatwave. All of their mixes are worth listening to but I've been caning their St George's day Rinse session loads recently. You can grab it below:

Musically Massive

Just got the promo through for the new David Last / MC Zulu album Musically Massive and it really does live up to its name. Last has put together an album of tight minimal dancehall, house, soca and carnival riddims. The mighty Zulu's vocal work references everything from cult film The Warriors, Spanish fly, and doo wop.


Ghettoblaster is a cheeky electro dancehall banger that sounds like it could've come out of the Toddla T mix of the same name:

David Last Vs MC Zulu: Ghettoblaster

Put me on your Guest List employs the formidable MPC/Vocal talents of CX Kidtronik (download his excellent Krak Attack Mixtape here) to make a proper bass heavy 4/4 monster that fuses elements of funky, soca, hip hop, and house:

Dragonfly release / Ruffnek Diskotek Mega Bashment

I'm delighted to announce that the good folk at Terminal Dusk have just released my tune "Dragonfly" on their latest 12" compilation Viridian. The track features an original vocal by Bihani Sarkar, from a recording session which originally came about when my twin brother and I collaborated on a play soundtrack about 5 years ago! So far, the record is available from Juno, Chemical and Redeye. You can also check out a a VJ piece made by TheDave on YouTube featuring the full track here.

If you're in Bristol this weekend, make sure you get down to Ruffnek Diskotek at the Black Swan! As usual, we've put together a massive line up :) I'm particularly excited about catching future Steak House collaborater Mr Gasparov who has put together a very special live show for the night! Also, headliner Ghislain Poirer is currently giving away an awesome remix/mashup, using the Wha-La-La-Leng riddim from his ep Soca Sound System (out now on Ninja Tune) and the acapella of Major Lazer feat. Mr. Lexx and Santigold. Seriously get downloading, this tune is BIG!
