Mr Gasparov's killer remix of Pocz and Pacheko's Zarbakfor free, are you mad? Clearly the good people at Senseless Records and Fact Magazine are, and I'm linking this straight up here on the Steak House Blog too:
Yep, we love Mr (Pedro) Gasparov's beats here at the Steak House, and putting 1975 on vinyl was one of the reason's we started this label in the first place.
Pedro's also behind booking the first full Steak House showcase, which will be happening at this year's Boom Festival in Portugal. Baobinga, Octa Push, Mr Gasparov (of course), Monkey Steak, and even MC Zulu to host - full Steak House crew in full effect on the Friday night. But more info on that to follow....
Steak House favourite Mr Benn has put up a brand new riddim for free download today, and its big, bashy and topical! The man himself explains:
"The Vuvuzela seems to be the biggest cause of controversy and divided opinion at this year's World Cup, so I thought it would be fitting to make a track based on the aforementioned horn...
"I bought a Vuvuzela from Lidl and knocked this up in an afternoon - perfect for all those world cup parties going on!
"Love them or hate them, you can't ignore them - the king size rave horns known as vuvuzelas are a massive part of this years world cup finals. I personally think they're great, and would quite happily take one with me to all my DJ gigs.
Also worth mentioning that Mr Benn's new single "Police" featuring Blackout JA is out now - this one has been a proper Ruffnek Diskotek anthem for a long time, wicked to see it finally released. This surely means that his album must be soon to follow.... :)
Following on from their own EP, the latest offering from Hanuman and Atki2’s Steak House imprint sees Baobinga, Poirier and a host of MCs join the Steak House Family.
STEAK 003 sees the label moving into bashment territory with the original Bass Music badman Baobinga serving up three prime cuts of juicy vocal raggastep. Backed by a remix by Karnival king Poirier, this record is crammed full of party heat. The record is due out on 12" and digital on July 5th but, because we're nice like that you can stream the whole EP here. There's even a completely free remix for you to download from Steak House co-owner Atki2.

A very special exclusive mixtape this week comes courtesy of San Francisco based DJ, Writer, and all round bad boy Kid Kameleon. KK first came to our attention way back in 2004 with a pair of mixes he did for Kid 606's excellent Shockout Label. The absolutely shocking and even more shocking mixtapes mashed together Breakcore, Dancehall, and Electronica with quirky pop in a genuinely new and exciting way. Since then he's been building a name for himself worldwide with a series of devastating DJ mixes, articles and podcasts for XLR8R, and as part of SF's Surya Dub crew
This time the kid has turned his attention to future garage/post dubstep/ Wot do you call it with his Stop asking me what Genre this is mix. KK has been at the forefront of those pushing this sound in the US and his mix is a showcase of the hot new tunes of the moment.
You can grab Part 2 exclusively from the Steak House Blog below. Part 1? Thats over on the excellent Frite Nite Site.

This week is an excellent one for Global Bass Music. Not only do we have the previews for STEAK 003 up but we've just heard that one of our very favourite labels have a new release due out on the 21st June. Pollinate Records, the London based label responsible for the killer Ibhithi series of tunes recently had been keeping a few tricks up their sleeves for this, their first full release since 2008's The Artworks Formerly known As Prints. Turns out that the Ibhithi tracks that we heard earlier in the year were just the tip of the tropical...ahem...iceberg. There's a full Ibhithi release on the way with a clutch of hot new afro-house beats as well as fattened up, remastered versions of the earlier tracks for those not fortunate enough to grab them previously.
The excellently monikered Jumping Back Slash is the man behind the Ibithi series. Hailing from the frozen tundra of Wigan in the north of England, he currently resides in Capetown, South Africa. His tunes marry the heavy kwaito grooves of his adopted homeland with a classic house sensibility and killer bassines. This is a record not to sleep on.
To celebrate the release, JBS and Pollinate have kindly given us an exclusive mix for the blog of some of the hottest kwaito and underground house tunes from South Africa at the moment.
The mix is the perfect antidote to the banality of the 'official' World Cup anthems by K'Naan and Shakira.
Grab it below and play it LOUD!
Tracklist:
Intro (Nkosi Sikelele Africa - Mahotella Queens) DJ Tapatso - Dictionary Remix DJ Mu Elvan - Bass To Bass DJ Pacco - Lady Senbone DJ Bazzy - Sun Of The Soil DJ Mike Vs DJ Pacco - Slow Poison (Snake) DJ Pacco - Destroyer DJ Mike - Dzudza Mazeze DJ Adjuster - I Am King DJ Adjuster - Marathon DJ Call Me - Mama, I'm Sorry

Election day in the UK. Without meaning to be too political (this is meant to be a music blog after all) I'm not looking forward to the most likely result. To stop myself thinking too deeply about it I've been playing music LOUD in the office! Two tunes that have been really getting me going recently are Al Fingers' massive refixes of Tinie Tempah's number one smash, Pass Out.
Remind yourself of the original below:
Then get straight on Al Fingers' mashups below. He's given the riddim a more JA flavour by dropping vocals from Capleton and Richie Spice over the original tune. FIRE!
We're always on the lookout for good music here in the Steak house. If you want to send us tunes then you can do it by using the soundcloud box below or by emailing us at steakhouserecords(at)gmail.com.
