Oneman - Ragga Garage Mix for Hot Wuk

It seems like every post I write at the moment mentions the Heatwave in some way and this, I'm afraid to say is no exception. Gabriel Heatwave's excellent Hot Wuk night this week plays host to Streatham Bass Badboy, Oneman. To celebrate he's put together a mix of dutty ragga garage bangers including future STEAK 003 - Baobinga and Killa Benz and its bloody great! You can stream it at the heatwave site or download it below

Rubi Dan - Bashment Funky

The whole Bashment Funky takeover shows no signs of slowing down. People like Gabriel Heatwave (with his excellent Funky Bashment mix) and of course our own Steak House Crew have been pushing this sound hard recently. Sometime heatwave vocalist and all round bad boy Rubi Dan has come up with this latest Karnival banger alongside Juxci with the two of them spitting fire over The Bop Riddim. You can grab it below:

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:

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:

Music For The Tube Strike

The London Underground strike has meant that my trips to the office are taking a lot longer than usual. The upside of this is that I’ve got loads more time to listen to music on the way in. Below are some recent (and one not so recent) mixes that have been cheering me up amidst sweaty bus rides and long walks across the capital.



First up is Gabriel Heatwave’s excellent new Early Warming mix. This mix has kept me smiling and enjoying looking at London through the windows of the 43.
