Mixes-A-Plenty!

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


TRACK LIST:
1) Bad Samba (Jason's badder mix) - Jason Sparks - forthcoming on Contrabass
2) Oublie-Moi (Charlie Fanclub remix) - Jason Sparks ft Benjamin Vial and Kahyène - Contrabass Sep 08
3) Gangsters (Si Begg's 2002 remix) - Jason Sparks - Botchit & Scarper 2003

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'."
He's got a new mix circulating... here it is:

ROB LE PITCH

 Lipic aka Rob Le Pitch was born just outside of Gothenburg, Sweden in 1977 and was introduced to the underground scene by Swedish Radio "P3 dans" in the mid 90s.

He started making music shortly after, but it's only in the last couple of years that he started to take it seriously and although his studio setup has changed over the years he still likes to use hardware synths as the main soundsource.

His latest release is out now on 777.  Download it everywhere and limited vinyl promos only at www.aquasky.co.uk/shop
