Dreadsquad feat. Ward 21 & Lady Chann‏

Things I didn't know before.
1. Reggae is big in Poland.
2. Polish reggae is really good.

This has been proven to me this week by Dreadsquad, two hot producers from Lodz. Their new record features the mighty Ward 21 and Lady Chann and is a straight ahead reggae banger. Backed by fierce jungle, dubstep, funky and bashment refixes the EP is well worth checking.

You can listen to a promo mix below and the whole EP is out this month.

SF003 Dreadsquad feat Ward 21 & Lady Chann PROMOMIX by Dreadsquad

Serocee - Badeng

Serocee is an MC which many of our readers may well have heard of. To my mind he's currently one of the UK's top dancehall mc's, who is as natural riding classic reggae & rub a dub riddims as he is riding contemporary uk funky, bashment & garage beats.

Over the last few years Serocee has been steadily building a reputation for energetic live performances and had recorded plenty of big tunes with artists such as Toddla T, Poirier, MJ Cole, South Rakkas Crew, Zed Bias and Redlight.

His biggest tune to date is probably his collaboration with MJ Cole, the massive 'AO', which has been all over the radio, clubs and internet for the last year or so.



To follow on from this, Serocee is releasing his new single, Badeng, on March 15th, backed with a tidy MJ Cole remix.

The track is a unique mix of dancehall, electro, hip hop & uk funky influences with a fantastic slurred vocal from Serocee, and is already recieving major support from BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM and various other stations from the likes of Annie Mac, Toddla T, Sinden, Mista Jam, Ras Kwame, The Heatwave and the Steak House Crew.

To give you a taster, you can download the promo mp3's below to tide you over til the offical release, which will be available from all the usual online outlets

New Dub Boy Tropical Bass Mix

We have another mix to post up here on the Steak House blog today, this time courtesy of yours truly.....

I recently recorded a mix for Amsterdam's Bombdiggy crew which has now gone up on their website. I really enjoyed putting this together for them and managed to include a good number of the karnival / funky bashment / tropical tunes that have been a staple of my dj sets for the last few months.

You can grab the mix here!
