Of course kicking back into action after the holidays is Sinden who's kicked off another year of his 'Get Familiar' residency at LDN's finest club Fabric. Joined by fellow producer and pal Herve they hosted an all star line-up last week including the booty bass legends DJ Funk, DJ Assault and dancehall newcomer Toddla T to blast the New Year on its arse. Expect the usual barrage of remixes and productions from these guys this year, with their remix of Toddla T's 'Inna Di Dancehall' hitting the shelves this week and there’s plenty more forthcoming too I’ve been told by Mr Harvey, including a huge collaboration album project called Machines Don’t Care featuring Josh Harvey, Dave Taylor, Sinden, Jesse Rose, Trevor Loveys, Duke Dumont and Drop The Lime. You may have heard some samples of this masterpiece in Herve & Sinden's amazing Essential Mix, and there's also a new Count Of Monte Cristal, and a Voodoo Chilli EP dropping at the end of January/early February. Toddla T's 'Inna Di Dancehall' with remixes from Count Of Monte Cristal & Sinden is out now on 1965 records and available at Juno or Phonica.







I’ve been waiting for this next record to release for ages now, at first only for the incredible Crookers remix which has been storming the clubs and a number of mix tapes over the last few months. But Don Rimini's debut EP on Mental Groove Records brings yet more fantastic sounds with a fantastic B Side 'Sumo & Geishas', another great remix of 'Let Me Back Up' and even a cover version by Poney Poney! The Absolutely Rad EP by Don Rimini is out now on Mental Groove and available from Juno and Phonica.






Here’s a track that I’ve only just caught onto, and is shrouded in mystery... The vinyl is simply labelled as 'Black Ball' but my sources tell me this is a collaboration between two fairly well known producers (Better not say who!), and you may even recognise the A1 track as it also appeared on Electric Zoo last year well before it made its way onto vinyl. Anyway this track is a remix of Prince Po's 'Hold Dat' given the wonky bass workout, on the Black Ball EP which is available now from Juno.







Twocker are yet another fantastic emerging act who focus on the heavy wonk bass and fidget fun we all love. Their music has the kind of bounce that could get the biggest of clubs jumping in unison and it’s clear to see why their sound has gained support from huge DJs like Armand Van Helden, Pete Tong and Erick Morillo. They’re building quite a collection of great remixes on their MySpace player right now, but there are also white labels of their fantastic remix of 'Sugar Is Sweeter' knocking about right now. Grab a copy from Juno now if you’re quick enough.






Next track to land in my inbox is from Mowgli, who's been causing quite a stir in blog land with his well produced beats. He's created this epic bootleg of The Chemical Brothers' 'Do It Again' quite aptly named 'Boot It Again' which has already had Radio 1 Airplay from both Pete Tong and Annie Mac! The even better news is that he plans to create a new bootleg every month which he will be releasing to numerous blogs and also make available on his MySpace, so stay tuned for more fantastic booties from Mowgli.







Lee Mortimer's Wearhouse Music is set to grow from strength to strength this year and this month saw Wearhouse's latest release the 'Hanging with Mr Cooper EP' from Scott Cooper hit the download shelves. Mr Cooper's Ragga and Dancehall influences clearly shine through on this impressive EP and it’s great to hear even more genres thrown into the melting pot from up and coming talent like Scott Cooper. He is also a Moda Resident alongside Andy George, who will be releasing his record 'Big Dipper' on Wearhouse soon along with a remix from HiJack. Download 'Hanging with Mr Cooper EP' by Scott Cooper from Juno Downloads now.






Lastly here's Amsterdam's Rene Van Munster's take on 'Milkshake' by Kelis. Rene produces alongside friend and fellow countryman Brabe as the The Bootlickers, and there’s plenty more look forward too from both guys this year. Also check out Brabe's take on Van Munster's track 'Hi Fi Bye Fi'.
