And there's no better piece of evidence to prove this than Exhibit A here... which is their latest mix Top Of The Pops Vol.3. and the duo have definitely proved that their mixing skills are on top, but their productions are just as masterful with this mix showcasing some of their own productions as well as their awesome remixes.

OK, I know I haven't posted in ages.. but I've been really swamped with my new job and that. But don't fret! Rather than post nothing at all, I've dug some stuff out of the archives for you to listen to; If you wan't that is... Here are a few simple edits and mixes I've done over the years. Don't be too harsh either! I know there is nothing that special about them, I just thought Id share them with the world.

Berlin based Man Recordings have an exciting lineup of releases in the coming weeks, with their star studded 'Funk Mundial' series. Its a great project that urges European producers to team up with Rio based MCs to create baile funk-fidgit/crunk/dancehall hybrid music! Following up the first release by Stereotyp & Edu K, Volume 2. of the series has been produced by two of Britain's best, Sinden & Count Of Monte Cristal with their track 'Tamborzuda', a track which 'fuses speed garage beats with the dope alchemy and rave melodies of Rio Baile Funk, spiced with the rhyme skills of Rio MC Thiaguinho'. The MP3 version is out now on Beatport and includes 3 versions of the track + an acapella. Volume 3. is perhaps even more exciting with Italian fidget stars Crookers who have collaborated with MC Leka and MC Dandao. 'Para De Grachina' is a song about a girl who is not impressed by some playboy's money, moves, sweet smiles and most of all his 'Peru' (Peru is Brazilian Portuguese for 'small dick', that must cause a stir Brazil's neighbouring country... Peru!). Also featured on the release is a track some hardcore Crookers fans may already now; 'Atomic Baile Boy', and another collaboration called 'Soca Ali Baba' featuring MC Dandao, and even both acapellas. Funk Mundial volume 2. by Sinden & Count Of Monte Cristal is out now on Man Recordings and available to download now @ Beatport or on vinyl from Juno, and Volume 3. by Crookers is available to download from May 18th and out on vinyl from June 8th. Limited to 300 copies each, so be quick!
