Natural Born Hustlaz... it's about time!

Hear Hear, some brand new material from our good homies "Natural Born Hustlaz". The Canadian outfit is made up of Natural (producer-song writer) Brad "Lush" Leonard and in-house musician Pete "Fantom" Kadar. Some of you out there might be familiar with Lush & Natural also known as Catchin' Wreck from the Toronto Jungle/Drum&Bass scene. Through their extensive network with major players in the London UK scene, they picked up the talent of Youngman, son of SimonBasslineSmith for their 1st major project.

Youngman clearly has what it takes to take over the UK urban charts and has already done so by getting major spins on BBC radio with his hit single "Wine It" feat Stylo G. The project also includes collabo's with S.A.S , Dynamite & Harry Shotta.

For those getting that club money or if you simply want to add some music to your collection...just click on the image below to download the album for FREE. The album is REALLY well produced, we understand that it might not be everybody's prefered style of music but if we were to compare, we would say that its along the lines of Ryan Leslie, Mario & Chris Brown...if it ain't for you, send the link to your lady friends...

Time to load up the 'pods!  

Here you go:

JASON SPARKS

Jason Sparks' productions have been very hit or miss with me.  I'm a dancefloor guy, and all the releases that come to mind from him have been a little weird, though I will say that his last album had heavy rotation in my iPod.

He has a new label that's putting out interesting stuff called 'Contrabass'.  Look it up.

In the meantime, here's a 15 minute from Jason Sparks showcasing his sound

THE ROGUE ELEMENT

Ben and I got into a bit of a tiff last time I booked him to play as I had booked him to play a more breaky set, but he played a lot of his new stuff... which is all housey.  Can't fault him for that...  it's what he loves, and the bottom line is: it's good stuff.

Here's his latest press blurb:

"As one of the most innovative producers on the electro /techno circuit

The Rogue Element's reputation has grown and grown since his debut album 'Rogue Rock' first picked up huge support from the likes of Radio 1's Annie Mac and Xfm's Eddy Temple Morris. 2008 saw massive club responses to Rogue's 'Panic Attacks/Sidewinder' & 'Hive/Vices' Both reached new audiences and received masses of praise from artists such as, Etienne De Crecy, Deadmau5 and BBC Radio 1's Dave Spoon to name a few.

This year sees the eagerly awaited release of The Rogue Element's 'Lumina' album on Exceptional Records and it's associated international tour. Check out Rogue Element's DJ Mix and MySpace to hear some exclusive tracks from the forthcoming album including the forthcoming release 'Escalation'."

FREEDOM (Myagi Bootleg Mix) - for FREE!

About 5-6 years ago, me and Myagi were talking.  We were discussing what tunes we'd like to hear bootlegs get done of.  This was well before the whole mashup craze, and during a time where people were VERY hesitant to do bootleg mixes for fear of the wrath of the majors.

I issued a challenge to him.  I suggested he do a bootleg of George Michael's 90's tune "Freedom", as it's one of my all time favorite songs.  He got really excited and got to work.

He's done a couple versions over the years... none of them overly good.  Recently, as his production has improved drastically, he took another stab at it.  Finally, after half a decade in the works, he got it right.  

And, to make it better, he's giving it away for free!  So, I present to you...  "Freedom"
