The Breakspoll 2010 line-up has been announced, and there are some heavy names involved this year, with a lot of back to back and vs performances! You’d never see this line-up at a festival, so make sure you buy tickets as it’s gonna be a roadblock (as all the kids are saying these days)!

With a 4500 capacity, that will be a lot of bald headed goatee beard sporting parka wearing DJs dancing around 12 girls! Yep Breakspoll can be a sausage fest, but with a line up like this, I don’t mind a sweaty cuddle from someone into the scene like me – especially with a line up like this!

I’m shortlisted for two awards this year, Best Radio Show and Best Podcast so if you fancy showing your support, then head over to Breakspoll.com and vote for me!

Next Thursday (22 October), Fabric are hosting a party for Berlin’s Modeselektor latest mixtape offering to the world, Body Language Volume 8.

The 33 track, which was released on the Get Physical label as a CD on 25 September, goes all over the shop on the genre front, moving from grime to techno, from dubstep to house to whatever.

The mix features: Rustie, Untold, Dorian Concept, Moves!!!, Norman Nodge, Peverelist, Horsepower Productions, Robert Hood, Joker, Busta Rhymes, Animal Collective, Dettmann, Siriusmo, Boys Noize, Major Lazer, Alex Cortex, Felix Da Housecat, G-Man, Moderat and Boy 8-Bit.

At the Fabriclive night, Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary will be doing a live set, and they share the stage with Bristol dubstep producer Joker and hip house bass tag-team Patchwork Pirates, with visuals from Pfadfinderei.

To promote the night, Patchwork Pirates have thrown together a mix for you to get your teeth into, affectionally entited Patchwork Pirates HEART MDSLKTR. There’s a couple of Modeselektor and Joker tracks in there for good measures, and as always, PP deliver a booming bass heavy listen.

I’ve got three mixes that have been burning holes in my i-Tunes player, and it’s disgraceful not to share them with you all.

The first one is a Fabric mix from Matt Walsh, London electro DJ and producer who holds residencies at Turbo, Bugged Out! and new night “High Horse” with Casper C and SkullJuice.  Matt, who chums it with Tiga and Brodinksi, also produces with Steve Cook as Clouded Vision; his latest remix of Peaches “Lose You” with Alex Jones, label owner ofHypercolour Records will probably have hit your consciousnsess by now, as it’s already been picked up in a Radio 1 Essential Mix

Matt Walsh’s mix, which was in advance of a June set at FabricLive, has a slower disco shuffle start, that moves through some great house and tech house sounds and veers the tempo right up. I’m told the mix is meant to reflect the way he warms up the crowd; he says: “This mix is pretty typical of what you might expect from the latter portion of a warm up set, when the dancefloor has filled, and the energy goes up a notch.”

The mix ends naturally with his Peaches remix, which is a softer dancefloor tune, with helium-edged undertones that suggest that the party is still not over. Although it’s too late for the Fabric gig, you can catch Matt tomorrow at Matter playing alongside Tiga.

The second mix is from Italian born, London bound  SOLO, who’s own productions are very much in the vein of the techie latin tribal sound, with tracks such as “Congoloid”, “The Big Stef” and “Joga Bola”- by the way, who kicked off this whole neo-modernist phenomenon?

Luckily for me,  SOLO’s playing at Blogger’s Delight at Audio here in Brighton, but for those in Europe, he’s got a full schedule this autumn, with gigs in Amsterdam, Geneva, Paris and London, of course, with a return to Fabric in November.

The last mix comes from Monkey Safari, two German brothers from Halle who call their sound ‘jungle samba techno’.  DJing mainly around Germany, the pair are releasing their Monkey Safari EP in September on What! What! Records. Relatively obscure in my part of their world, I had a listen to their tracks on their myspace – only a few but they sound good and will await their upcoming release to see if they’re pushing their own original sound.

Their upbeat Rumble in the Jungle mix features their own tracks “Chant” and “Got Da Feet’ and remixes, plus a wide range of genres, covering the ’sound of the moment’ (eg tracks featured on some of the other mixes in this post), plus other favorite artists such as Rico Tubbs, Yo Majesty, Wu-Tang and more.

Hi guys, here’s a mix from Ben UFO, co-founder of the quietly bubbling techno-does -the-two-step-with- dubstep label Hessle Audio, who recently had a big night last Friday (15/5/09) at London’s legendary Fabric.  The Hassle room included co-founder Ramadanman and other artists on the label including TRG, Pangaea, Untold and MC Asbo.

The three-year-old London label commanded one of the rooms on a night that featured Rusko (LIVE), Skream, The Gaslamp Killer, Jackmaster, Patchwork Pirates, Marcus Intalex, Fabio, Calibre, Doc Scott, Commix, Alix Perez, Mosus B2B Zero Tolerance and MCs Rage, DRS & Justyce.

The mix features a lot of unreleased tracks, which is quite cool and the mix is refreshingly chilled out yet stimulating with the variety of styles giving it a feel that’s sometimes garage bassline, sometimes samba, sometimes grime, sometimes dub and then sometimes you don’t really know. Which I love. Leftfield moves to centre court.

Keep up with Hessle Audio sounds via their Sub FM weekly radio show Ruffage Sessions, every Thursday from 8-10pm or @BenUFO.

Dates of music operation across the UK include:

29th May @Motion, Bristol; 3rd June – Ruffage 3rd Birthday @Wire, Leeds; 4th June – Ruffage road trip @Custard Factory, Birmingham; 13th June – U Dun Know @Visions Dalston, London; 19th June – Medium @Cable, London; 19th June @Egg, London; 24th-26th July – Man Make Music at Secret Garden Party – East Anglia somewhere; 14th-16th August – Free Rotation festival @Hay-on-Wye, Wales; 17th October – Colony@Russian Bar, London.
