Alexis Raphael (Hot Creations) – Moody Disco Mix

 

 

Alexis Raphael will be a guest at Moody DIsco this month in Brighton. Moody disco will be celebrating their 1st Birthday at The Haunt on 24/2/12. It looks to be a spectacular night with pumping house music, big and small names and in a brand new location! This mix really gives a taste of what the night will set out to be. Alexis Raphael is from Lower East London, which he says has inspired him with his music where he also plays regularly. 2011 saw the release of “Spaceship”, his debut that caught the attention of Jamie Jones and Lee Foss. From there he has gone on to make his own mark on the world of electronic music by doing high profiled remixes and “injecting soul across dance floors worldwide” (RA). The Moody Disco mix really proves Raphael’s talent of knowing what his listener wants. It has House written all over it whether it be old or new, it just works. It only leaves me in suspense for the Moody Disco night this month.

Also playing at Moody Disco will be Loren Heer who seems to be a rising new talent. Having seem him play at Inmotion Brighton at Rik Tik’s I do think he is one to look out for. He really knew how to get the dance floor going with the deeper side of House music. Its dark and got a great beat, defiantly right for the other side of midnight. Have a listen to his podcast below…

If you can’t make it for the Moody Disco night, In Motion now has a monthly slot at Riki Tik where Loren will be playing this month 18/2/12.

The Kelly Twins – Mix for In:Motion, Weekly Dose 2

Identical twins, Sean and Dan Kelly, played this set for In:Motion about 4 months ago in Bristol as well as doing it for Bass Music Blog. Originally from Plymouth they have moved on the the Bristol Circuit being promoters and residents of UFO Bristol, Crazy Legs (Bristol Bass Night) and working at the Idle Hands record shop. The mix itself is just really awesome..! You get an absolute sense that they are playing music because it is fun!! It is an eclectic mix with old and new, moving from spacey noises to funky vocals to 80s electro to the centre of Berlin to 8 bitty and swinging through several genres of electronic music. Its as if they have thought “hey I like that track…lets mix it in” and it works! It gives the authenticity that 2 people that really care about music have put this together for everyone to enjoy on a dance floor or sitting in their bedroom. I know they are 2 people who have grown up mixing, I read in an interview that they got their first decks at age 14 and residency at 16! It really shows in this mix and I can understand why they are doing so well in Bristol…hopefully soon we will see them all over the country. Have a listen and enjoy your weekly dose of great music…..

JILL SCOTT – GETTING IN THE WAY

Next Friday they are playing at Riki Tik in Brighton at a Donky Pitch Night which will be Idle Hands Vs Donky Pitch. Chris Farrell, boss and creator of Idle Hands Bristol will be playing with The Kelly Twins.  I know that “Chris is old school. He only plays vinyl” and guessing from this mix below we can expect a mix of techno, house possible some garage….

From the Donky Pitch side will be blessed with the return of…..Slugabed!!  Why would you miss this when it is free and with lots of awesome music? The EP taster of Slugabed’s is posted below, it really gives a taste of what he is, and what Donky Pitch is all about! Exciting and experimental electronic noises that gel together to make great hip hop beats that stem from the post J-Dilla sound. The production of his bass/dubstep music is getting close to flawless. It is just made for dancing. Its diverse and refreshing to watch live…so side by side with Idle Hands it will prove to be an electronically action packed night.
