Fake Blood - Essential Mix

Fake Blood took the world on a two hour journey last night. Get on board and take the ride.

Here are some words from the man himself:

The theme was this: Rather than just bang it out for 2 hours (yawn) I thought I would split it into 2 distinct halves, and show a wider range of music I love. Plus it makes it more interesting to put together, and to listen to hopefully:

The 1st hour represents THE CLUB, and is the kind of stuff I am playing out. A bit heavier for that apex of the night.
But the 2nd hour is THE AFTER PARTY, and is me playing other stuff I love, but goes a bit deeper, stripped back, melodic and unusual. Music to watch the night turn into morning.

It’ll definitely throw a few people, but that was kind of the intention.

Calvin Harris - I’m Not Alone

After a bit of a drought, there have been a slew of fantastic new tunes hitting our inbox in the past few weeks! Calvin Harris has a new full length coming our way soon. The first single ‘I’m Not Alone’ is getting massive support on Radio 1. Deservedly so. This is a bit of a departure from his previous production work but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We are predicting this one will be one of the biggest singles of 2009. Forthcoming release will include remixes by Deadmau5 and Hervé. There are a number of blogs that have posted a version of this tune but its not the final mix. Check it out though and take a look at the video below to get a feel for how big this is going to be.

Jesse Rose - Touch My Horn

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

‘Forget My Name’ is the new EP from Berlin-based Jesse Rose. The B-side on this Dubsided release ‘Touch My Horn’ isn’t necessarily the most sophisticated tune but it grows on you after a couple of listens. Playfully balancing his signature bounce with glitchy horn samples throughout. Look for a Crookers remix to hit the streets soon.
