Eyes should be on the the Moda Crew in Lincoln right now as the boys arent only putting on some amazing nights with international lineups, but also putting out some cutting edge material. You've already heard about Andy George in one of my last posts, well here's another Moda resident to watch out for, introducing.. Jaymo. As a promoter, producer and DJ hes played across the UK bringing a nefarious brand of club music and playing with world class talent like Switch, Kissy Sell Out and DJ Touche. His latest single 'Tuned In Live' on Rising Trax is an absolute floor stomper, andbacked with an equally as fat Micky Slim Remix. Moda is also going strong with a huge night coming up on November 16th with International special guests Brian Cox from the US and Crookers from Italy of course. Jaymo's new release 'Tuned In Live' is out now backed with a remix from Micky Slim and available to download now from Beatport.
Straight Ouuta Sydney, Destroy Disco are 3 young whippersnapper DJs and Producers new to the game and have sent me some interesting new stuff. I must say this is some impressive stuff for their first few tracks, blow you away basslines mixed with 90s trance sounding synths seem to go down a treat here! Check out their MySpace for more Destroy Disco.
The fantastic Charlie Fanclub has some new remixes in circulation which he has kindly sent my way, but not only that they are available for anyone clever enough to stumble across his MySpace. His remix of The Japanese Popstars 'Dirty Popstars' is truly hypnotising and his Stardust booty is really something, it would be impossible to make this song better than its original glory, but this version is up there with the best of them! If you want more Charlie Fanclub all you got to do is head on over to his MySpace!
Sticking with the hip hop for now heres another fresh mash up from Estaw featuring Kanye West, Nas and KRS One. Check out these seriously funky beats with ferocious flowing lyrics.. nice!

Crookers, they have also recently remixed the new single for Rodion's 'Electric Soca', and the kind guys at Gomma have also sent me another remix from the package by Berlin/Munich DJ KAOS. This is a much more electro orientated outing compared to Crookers' work. Both equally as impressive remixes are on the released which is gonna be out next month on Gomma.
Any of you who may have wandered onto my Last.Fm profile may have noticed that Im not a complete Fidget House nut, and spent quite a lot of time listening to Indie music, and one artist that has impressed me this year is Jack Penate with his infectious Indie Pop. After numerous live tours and dance-fueled festival appearances his music and performances have captured the hearts of many and led to a few singles and now an album release. His latest single 'Second, Minute, Hour' is backed with a great cover of the classic 'Just Be Dub To Me' by Norman Cook's Beats International, and a crazy baltimore remix by Milkcrate & Gutter Music's Aaron LaCrate & Debonair Samir. Jack Penate's debut album 'Matinee' is out now on XL Recordings and available to buy at all good record shops.
With the lyrics to 'Just Be Dub To Me' stuck in my head recently it was quite a surprise to receive some goodies from Cassette Jam. They have produced a number of fun mash ups including these below and more on their MySpace if you want to check them out.
Another artist impressing bloggers and music addicts across the net is London based producer Mowgli. With a release on Mantra Breaks last year and a number of remixes under his belt this artist has plenty to get excited about. Download 'Just Be/Mowgli Comes To Town' on Mantra Breaks from Juno Download now.
Here's a track from a good pal from across the globe Wongo. From the Australian Gold Coast hes showing a lot of impressive progression with his productions. His MySpace is definitely worth checking out, and so is this mp3 of 'Boheim Jack'.
Not another Salmon Dance remix you may be thinking, but don't this is a great remix from Belian producer/DJ GTronic captures all the groove of the original and adds plenty more blog house stylings minus all the stupid fish.
This track has really grown on me after hitting my mailbox a couple of weeks back, Matthew Savant from Massachusetts, USA clearly has talent and there are plenty more impressive tracks to check out on his Myspace including remixes of Daft Punk and The Faint.
Sorry for the lack of postage once again.. same old story. busy blablabla.. A proper post is on its way, but in the meantime check out this new mix from dutch DJ ESTAW. This is one fantastic hour of music, a fine selection of tracks and some very uber cool personal productions from the man himself.
