Dublin dubstep, ragga, jungle and electronica types !Kaboogie have made their most recent label sampler available for download from their website. There are eleven tracks in total from names like Cignol, 2-Bit, Bluefood, The Banker, A-Force, Prince Kong, Kachanski and Solen. Below are my favourites from the compilation. Get the whole thing though.
Bluebottle Farm – Tom’s Swings
They’ve also been doing a mashup series which is updated every Friday. Here are two of the most recent I like.
PCP described this as possibly the best Irish made mash he’s ever heard. It’s a mash/edit/arrangement of M.I.A’s ‘Galang’ , Aphex Twin’s ‘Jynweythek Ylow’, Shackleton’s ‘Tin Foil Sky’, The Banker and Beethoven ‘Adagio Sostenuto’.
Straight turntable mash of Dr Dre’s ‘What’s the difference’ and DJ Vadim ft. Demolition Man ‘Boom Sumting’.
