It’s only right that we return to this. Raised By Eskimos. We love his music so much we want to pass on the secret. A while ago RBE made a bootleg of one of our summer anthems of last year and it was no doubt one of your sunshine smashers too. There is no catch to it. It’s just good music for free. What we do ask you to do is pass this remix on to everyone you know. It deserves to be out there. The world needs to know about Raised By Eskimos.

Fresh from rocking Amsterdam’s RAI Arena in front of 25,000 people for Dirty Dutch Blackout in December and smashing BBC Radio 1′s Essential Mix live from Hull, label boss Chuckie continues his one man assault on EDM. Now back with a brand new club anthem, ‘Together’ the Dutchman delivers another huge statement of intent. ‘What Happens in Vegas’ and ‘Who Is Ready To Jump’ both soared into Beatport’s top ten last year as his unstoppable charge to the top continues to push forward, but the successes of last year look to be eclipsed once again with his latest standout cut.

‘Together’ is one for the biggest of big rooms. Built on a dirty, jump up bassline and pounding 4/4s, the track builds to fever pitch where classic piano chords and powerful vocals collide to create a moment of pure suspense. The drop explodes with all the power and energy of a sub-atomic, nuclear warhead, turning the dancefloor into unbridled frenzy.

Once again proving to be the master of the party atmosphere, Chuckie brings his typically crazy vibe to the track for all to see. A producer that is so on form that he’s started to melt the studio buttons, Chuckie will not stop until he’s got the whole world up on their feet and dancing Dirty Dutch style. ‘Lets Stick Together!’

“Great bassline and it has got me in the mood for some more house music ” – Gavin

“Cracking tune, proper filthy house. Exactly what you expect from Chuckie. Could just imagine bouncing away to this in a club. Wild!” – Owen

Sub Focus has released the first track from his new album as a free download. Although we’re not the quickest to bring it to you, having had it blaring in our ears for ages, it’s still too good to let it pass by.

Having spent the best part of 2011 smashing huge arenas and festivals alike with his incredible live show, Nick Douwma aka Sub Focus is now back in the studio working on the highly anticipated follow up to his self titled 2009 debut.

Taking the diversity he offered on his self-titled debut album, ‘Falling Down’ is a brilliantly-pieced tapestry of glacial melodies, bowel turning low-end combinations and vocals that will stick in your head until long after the last tune of the night has gone.

The artist’s rise through the ranks of underground drum & bass to become a major player in electronic music has been nothing short of spectacular. Initially known for air-punching, dancefloor dismantling drum & bass, Sub Focus has now become synonymous with music that draws from all corners of the electronic landscape, and has come to epitomise the ‘anything goes’ mantra of today’s flourishing electronic music scene.

Download: Sub Focus – Falling Down

“This is the kinda’ music that’ll make me put my hands up in the air at any festival, a lovely trance sound to it until the Dubstep kicks in. Fair enough it’s not your filthy dubstep which everyone seems to be enjoying right now but this is definately the kind I prefer. Huge tune and can’t wait for the album.” - Owen

“Great build up and lyrics. Could do with being a bit more bass heavy though.” - Gavin

“TUNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!” – Scott

We have a pretty tasty remix for you today.

Back as far as its turn-of-the-millennium origins, Markus’ alter ego was always conceived as a channel      through which he could explore the darker and more devoutly club side of his mind.

“To me the audio that Dakota presents and the music which I put out under my own name stand totally  apart. It’s an entirely separate set of tempos, sound-ranges and FX rules. To have this studio ‘other self’ with which to produce this type of music is more important to me than ever”, he says.

Founded in the year 2000 by Torsten Fassbender, Wellenrausch produces and remixes for artists such as Blank&Jones, Luna Park and PPK constantly hit the international Trance charts, are present on a number of compilations and can be found on the playlists from almost every top DJ in the world.

“Right… I love a bit of Markus and this track is right up my street. I love the low sub-bass through the track. It’s definately a track that needs played very loud. Can just imagine being stick in some dingy club with my hands in the air, the way clubbing should be be.

The key changing in the video is annoying though! Gies the original!” - Owen

“Love this tune at the moment. Markus is a fantastic dj and this tune is no less fantastic than him. Buzzing to get this on in the car.
I do however agree with Owen, the pitch changing is pretty unnecessary” - Gavin

Owen recently picked out his top tunes of this year so it’s time for me (Gavin) to do the same. There were so many great tunes released this year that it’s hard to pick just a few out but i have tried my best. They are in no particular order. Hope you agree that these are some of the best songs that have been released this year.

In 2009, S.P.Y has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting producers and DJs in drum & bass. With a range of productions across top labels, he’s released on Innerground, Metalheadz, Soul:r and more demonstrating both quality and consistency. A talented new artist and highly-skilled producer, S.P.Y has already proved himself in the studio working alongside the likes of DJ Marky, Marcus Intalex and Total Science.

Crisp, clean breaks rolling over deep basslines are his stock-in-trade and a busy DJ schedule has seen appearances across world everywhere from Australia to his native Brazil. He’s keeping up the pressure in 2010, remixing Deadmau5 as well as working on an album with Marky for Innerground. .. Since moving to London from Sao Paolo 7 years ago, Carlos Lima aka S.P.Y hasn’t looked back. Initially drawn to the city for it’s music and culture, S.P.Y soon settled in amongst the vibrant drum & bass scene.

With a background in DJing stretching back to the age of 12, his skills behind the turntables were already in place and he set out to make his mark as a producer. A natural talent for music production certainly helped and, after just six months of learning on basic equipment, he signed his first ever release to Metalheadz in 2005. His impressive debut ‘Til Dawn’ was included on the Winter of Content compilation album and a sure sign that S.P.Y would be one to watch.

In 2006, he quickly followed up with ‘Black Flag b/w Double Dragon’ for new label Med School and helped set the standard for Hospital’s alternative, more experimental imprint. Developing his own brand of original yet dancefloor-friendly beats, S.P.Y stepped up his game with a further single (‘Ghost Ship b/w Silent Sleeper’) before moving on to release on diverse labels including Critical and Samurai. .. A series of collaborations followed with the likes of Mosus, Physics, BCee and Kiat: no surprise, given S.P.Ys reputation in the studio and professional yet easy-going outlook. Together with fellow Brazilian C.A.B.L.E., he forms Damage Inc and the duo have released on Total Science’s Advanced imprint.

In 2008, two of his joint productions (‘Close Encounters’ with Kiat and ‘Cold 909s’ with Mosus) were among the standout tracks in the excellent DAT Music 2 compilation and marked his debut for Soul:r. .. 2009 has been S.P.Y’s most prolific year to date, with a whole raft of releases demonstrating both quality and consistency across the top labels in drum & bass. A solo EP for Soul:r brought deeper vibes together with dancefloor sensibilities and saw him working the vocalist Riya for the first time. More collaborations included tracks alongside Total Science and DJ Marky and he’s established regular partnerships with both. To top it all off, S.P.Y also managed a return to Metalheadz with Goldie favourite ‘Moon Patrol’ as well as debuts for 31 Records, Innerground and Liquid V.

Having already proved himself at the highest level, we can look forward to more from S.P.Y in 2010 as he steps up a gear again. An album alongside DJ Marky is in the works to follow on from the success of their recent EP on Innerground and will see the pair working together with vocalists and other collaborators. They’ve also recently remixed Canadian electrohouse superstar Deadmau5, demonstrating serious production credentials as well as crossover appeal. Always quick to adapt and always keen to learn from other producers, S.P.Y has also been working alongside Marcus Intalex with ‘Triband’ plus other tracks set for Soul:r in 2010.

“What an intro, infact the whole tune just speaks brilliance. It’s not really a genre known for it’s beauty but this is well worthy of being called ‘special’. I’ve not listened to S.P.Y. much, but this definitely takes me back to the good days of when Dubstep and Drum & Bass was just starting to become Mainstream thanks to Annie Mac, sadly those days are gone and we’re left with some pointless tracks these days. ” - Owen

“One of the few songs in it’s genre which you could call beautiful. The intro is just something else… this is DnB at it’s finest.” - Gavin

Yep it’s the time of the year when we reflect on the music from the past year. And what a year it has been for music and dance music in general.

Owen’s kicks it off with 7 of his favourite tracks this year.

“It was definitely a hard thing to do, possibly my hardest tasks I’ve had to do on/with ZeroSeven. There was lots of superb music being released each week and I’m sure my favourite song changed day upon day. I’ve went with tunes which I listened to lots this year, some in positions for the stories behind them but all in all I think they are all cracking.”

The musical brain-child of Pendulum members Gareth McGrillen and Rob Swire, Knife Party has been party to one of the most rapid and highly succesful ascents of any band on the scene. Consistently releasing instantly catchy club-bangers since their inception, it’s no surprise that their first release “100% No Modern Talking” is brimming with incredibly danceable beats sure to crush crowds worldwide. Ranging from dubstep to electro and everything else included in their unique brand of “seizure music”.

Big tune for you today, from a whole range of artists combining to produce a song that will get any club bouncing.

One of the more noted artists in the line-up is R3hab. Rising Dutch DJ and producer R3hab has established his name in the international dance scene in a short period of time. His producing skills and love for electronic music have made him one of the highest requested remixers in the dance scene right now, remixing for artists like Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo, Pitbull, Sean Paul, Dada Life, Snoop Dogg and Bob Sinclar to name a few. Then there are also R3hab’s original productions that have moved dance floors around the world and more than frequently get listed in Beatport’s charts. His most notable releases to date are ‘Pump The Party’ produced together with Ferruccio Salvo, ‘The Bottle Song’, released on Wall Recordings and the much-anticipated ‘Prutataaa’, which is R3hab’s first collaboration with Afrojack and was released recently.

ARIA Award-nominated Tommy Trash is one of dance music’s rising stars. Since bursting onto the scene less than five years ago, Tommy has dominated charts and dance floors alike with over 45 originals and remixes, quickly establishing himself as one of Australia’s most talented and prolific artists. Now London-based, Tommy has his sights set firmly on world domination.

“Could imagine being at an SHM gig just bouncing away to this. My speakers don’t give it the right justice and I’ve got a decent wee set up here. this is one fucking BIG tune!” - Owen

“Massive tune here. Brilliant build up and bass. Love the vocals, they really go well with the tune. Can see this hitting the clubs very soon.” - Gavin

“To think I had to be pressured to writing about this track. What an absolute tune, I’d love to be a DJ dropping this as it would sound ten times better in a club! Great song.” - Scott
