you-ess-ay


As the grunge and grime of Budapest's nightlife looms, the fitting glitchy and thrashy tunes of funkadelic frenchman Surkin seem very fitting. With his much anticipated second album 'USA' just released from his own label (founded with Para One & Bombo) 'Marble Records' - it currently under the iTune and Blogosphere gang-rape. 'USA' is full of great collaborations and an excellent range between his original take on slamming electro and the more club/radio worthy tunes; made listenable to the fainthearted by some soothing vocals and samples. All in all Benoit Heitz has pulled out the goods on this one - and just in time for an ozzie summer df slamming!!

P.S. Get your music-scene supporting slacks on and make a purchase you will not be disappointed.

junior gems



New Beginnings and new experiences have been rampant for me in the last few months – and within this new music, discoveries and some fresh beats have been invading my eardrums of late. Of these none are more impressive then the young talent which is starting to emerge on the scene. It is scary for me as a DJ and very amateur producer to hear such tunes popping out of these kids, but overall very exciting for the music scene!

One who is more widely known and shall be a prevalent industry name after his upcoming shows (I Love Techno in Belgium for me – and Stereosonic for those in OZ) is Madeon. Still not legally able to smash a beer, he has instead turned his focus to smashing out poppy, feel-good electro and one helluva crazy Mashup that you can catch him live sampling here and download below… prepare to feel outdated.





Of equally impressive production quality and youth is the new member of Boys Noize Records; SCNTST. With only a year of DIY Ableton jamming under his belt, this kid is jamming out some modern tech-house tracks which would hold there own in any Berlin nightclub at 5am. Unfortunately it is said on signing that he “has only been to a club once underage and hated it”, so I guess he has a bit to get used to and probably a few years before he will hit ozzie shores.
