With the upcoming Parklife festival almost upon us (Australia Only feat. headliners 2ManyDJ’s and Soulwax plus many more!) and everyone absolutely aching for a perfect quality of the much hyped MGMT- Kids (Soulwax Remix) to be released (or pop up somewhere in blog land…) the majoirty of the music world is literally creaming their pants once again for the 2 Many DJ’s. But really, did anyone ever stop creaming them?

So to tide everyone over until they get to see these legendary brothers in action (or at least dream about it) heres a mix that has been floating around on the internet since last week (much love to ‘Bobby Digs It All’ for his post on lowbee) from their latest set (24-08-2008) recorded live at Cream Fields Festival in the UK on BBC Radio 1. With Park Life just around the corner, all i can say is that if their set at Park Life is anything like their one at Cream Fields last week, i will not be the only one Creaming my pants….

MP3: 2 Many DJ’s – Essential Mix Radio 1 BBC Live From Creamfields UK 24-08-2008

Well well well, looks like another uni semester down and can i just say FUCKING FINALLY!! Big apologies for the slackness of my posts to this blog, my life has been revolving around many infuriating ASS-ignments and exam preparations but now that it’s all over for a while i can now start sharing some music with the world! 

So to make up for my recent poor form i break bread with guys with these mini mashes from Annie Macs Radio One show. These are a bunch of 5 minutes mashes done specially for her program by some of the best in the business including 2 Many Dj’s, Drumattic Twins, Diplo, Kissy Sellout, MSTRKRFT and Digitalism. I know some of these have already been posted on other blogs but they came to me as a bundle and in a bundle is how they shall be shared….

enjoy…

Finally the blog is back rollin & scratchin’ again. While writing this I am listening to Mashed 4 which I was anticipating a tad since the last compilations in the series were pretty cool (having Ajax and even Bang Gang doing mixes). But still I’m not one for Ministry releases and despise them greatly. And yes this one does disappoint; Kissy Sell Out does a nice job but Aston Shuffle’s attempt of mixing the “indie” tracks is fucking dismal. Fuck, I would rather have Steve Aoki take a diarrhea dump in my ear then to listen to _that_ again. Fuck.

Anyway, Stewart Rowell & Louis Gaston make up Streetlife DJs: a UK DJ’ing/production duo sharing between them 30 years of turntable experience. They are compassionate with their music and their attitude is bold: ‘this is the music industry, so we want to entertain’. So, with that being said, they aren’t afraid to mix different genres around. DJ Mag even claiming them to be the UK version of 2 Many DJs.

They recently caught my eye after hearing some fine remixes/edits but what put the icing on the cake was seeing a release of theirs on Kitsune; I knew they had to be special, right? Buy their Kitsune 12″ ‘Gunn Crime’ (a nice adaption of the Peter Gunn theme) from Spank Records.
