The Count & Sinden break it down . . .

This is what Trash Menagerie was throwing down during the month of September. Features, interviews, parties, and plenty’a mix and MP3 download. We’re snuggling in for the busy month of October. Have you started thinking about your Halloween costume yet? We’re looking for ideas, so please hit us up and let us know if you’ve got any. Last year we gave you a heads up on how to MAKE YOUR OWN DAFT PUNK COSTUME. Hipster Runoff offered up a bit of inspiration, “WTF SHOULD I B 4 ALL HALLOW’S EVE”, But is it “ok” to be a Justice this year, if you were a Daft last year?

A truly scary option, the United States Vice Presidential Republican
Candidate and current Governor of Alaska - Sarah Palin.

Hmm, I guess she didn’t get understand the memo regarding last year’s Halloween Party. It was a Nordic theme. Looks like she still won anyway, even though she didn’t really come close to qualifying.

Sarah Palin 7 Months Preggers “I can hide my belly in a sexy, yet sophisticated, little black business suit.”

Goodness, her belly is HUGE, she looks like she’s going to pop any day now, right?

This is what Demi Moore looked like when she was seven months preggers . . .

Sarah Palin’s Witch Doctor . . .

Other potential options - “Sarah Palin Mayor of Meth”, “Sarah Palin Miss Alaska”, “Sarah Palin Soccer Mom”. Wow, and to think, the election isn’t even over yet, we’ve still got a few weeks to go . . . goodness, i’m sure we’ll have so many more choices to choose from. Maybe i’ll pull off one of those “couple costumes,” and we can go together as “Foreign Palin Policy“. One of us will be Russia, and the other Alaska, and we’ll stand on opposite sides of the room and say “I can see ya over there, behave yourself!”

“Sarah Palin Miss Alaska”

Anyway, Sarah, this song is dedicated to you . . .

Scion A/V has once again partnered with some of the best names in the biz to produce another exclusive release. This time they matched up with legendary NYC hip hop duo EPMD with Trash favorites - Sinden, Duke Dumont, and Herve to present another package full of bangers. The three versions of this brand new vocal take completely different routes – with Hervé’s trademarked basslines, Sinden drawing from UK garage inspiration and Duke Dumont going for a hip hop take with bhangra-styled loops. The full project drops Oct. 20, but you can grab an advance of Sinden’s mix right here . . .

Club music is a powerful force these days, while orginating in Baltimore, Maryland the sound has quickly spread around the globe. It could be the infectious repetion elements or the hip hop influence or that most tracks are in the proximity of 130 bpm or the sound is just fun and energetic. Or the fact it’s promoted and endorsed by heavyweights like Diplo, Sinden, Pharell Williams, and even Mos Def. Whatever it may be, the club music takeover has been a long time coming.

The Brick Bandits is a crew, better yet a family of producers and this family’s blood runs thick because these are some of the best club producers around. Its most likely that you have heard a production from someone in that crew and not even realized it. Some of the more well known members of the crew are Dj Tameil, Dj Sega, Diplo, Tim Dolla, Dirty South Joe and Dj B-Stee.

The best way to familarize yourself with the crew through is through the music itself.

First up is “Told Not Sold; the roots of Baltimore Club” a mix/podcast for Mad Decent records by Dirty South Joe. Which you can get through itunes here. You should also get the in depth article from here.

Also from Mad Decent is Dj Sega with “Introducing the Brick Bandits & Dj Sega“. Head here to download.

And also “Bamboo Banga” from Dj Tameil & Tim Dolla here.

If you’re in Chicago tonight (July 30th, 2008) a little early for Lollapalooza or just happen to be around, you’re in luck. Dirty South Joe and Dj Sega are going to be at Debonair Social Club with the fire department handy because they are also bringing some fellow Brick Bandits and Chicagoans, Rob Threezy and Charlie Glitch. And they are going to burn the club to the ground.

We have included Dj Sega’s rework of Steve Angello & Laidback Luke’s hit single “Be” and Rob Threezy’s smash hit “the chase” to entice you into attending.

Trevor Loveys is constantly pushing the limits of music with countless remixes, EP’s, labels and a number of projects that fill his world – Speaker Junk with Herve, Dubsided label with Jesse Rose, Switch, Sinden and Herve, and the Machines Don’t Care camp that is Herve, Sinden, Fake Blood, Affie Yusef, Drop The Lime, Detboi, and Toddla T. Mr. Loveys emerges yet again with a remix of ‘City Of Lights‘ by City Reverb.

City Reverb is a new band which features Chris Coco, Nick Cornu, Adam Barry, Lew West and Micky Buccheri on vocals. ‘City of Lights‘ is the 2nd single off their forthcoming 12-track album ‘Lost City Folk’, to be released September 2008. Their blissful sounds mix electronic music with live band elements that are chilled out, folky and atmospheric, which Chris describes the album’s genre as “Robot Soul”. You won’t find any dancefloor stormers on this LP and that’s ok with us, we’re happy to be in this momentary relaxed state. Look out for more remixes of ‘City of Lights‘ from Prins Thomas, Larry Fives, Reverso 68 and Beards of Paradise.

As if Trevor wasn’t doing enough, check his latest label with Affie Yusuf and Chris Belsey, Tragic Magic. Pretty positive everything coming off it will in fact be magic. Cheers to the one and only army providing us with the goods!!

City Reverb - City of Lights (Trevor Loveys Vocal Mix)

Holy Shit! There aren’t two better words to say when hearing a JACK BEATS track. These gentlemen’s jaw dropping introduction came through the Trouble & Bass released Boy 8-Bit ep, “Fog Bank” (buy it here), a track that made many heavy weight dj’s top ten list before it was even released for purchase by the general public. Since that release they’ve had a steady flow of top shelf, high quality remixes ranging from grime punk rapper, Trip, to The Black Ghosts and fellow bassmaster AC Slater (hear that on the crookers essential mix) and more. It makes one need to know who these super producers are and why are they so amazing.

Turns out Jack Beats are veterans to the scene with insane credentials. The duo is comprised of Dj Plus One from the Scratch Perverts and Beni G from Mixologists, both award winning turntablist crews from London and world renown djs. At 19 years old, Dj Plus One, won the 2000 Vestax DJ World Championship in Tokyo and placed 2nd to A-trak in the ITF World final in LA. A year later he went on to win the ultimate title, 2001 World DMC Champion, beating Kentaro and Klever, to become the first triumphant UK contender since 1989. Beni G is currently grime rapper Plan B’s tour dj and a former DMC & ITF DJ Champion and 2-time Urban Music Award (UMA) winner.

Even with credentials that amazing and awe inspiring they were able and willing to provide Trash Menagerie with an interview and the premiere of their remix of White Williams “Violator“!!!

sirhan: So you 2 are from scratch perverts and mixologists respectively but how do you come together and make “jack beats”?

Jack Beats: We come together to make jack beats through a mutual love of rave music, cups of tea and a fair amount of beer!

sirhan: Whats the inspiration? And who’s influencing you?

Jack Beats: The inspiration is hip hop and bassline based club music mainly- we’ve been hip hop and jungle kids for years- but we’re also big into our house and electro, dubstep and grime- we just like to put all those things in the pot and see what comes from it… Its a simple concept really.. Its not really so much who, but what- old school rave, 80s hip hop, dubstep, jungle are all big for us right now!!

sirhan: How are things going so far?

Jack Beats: Almost too well. Jack beats was an accident in all honesty. We started making some crunked hip hop type beats a few years back for a laugh- We got into hybriding that with the fidget and dubstep shit that we were feeling, and that formed the basis for sound we have now.

We chose a name we thought was fitting as an alias because we had a remix coming out and we needed to. Then we set up a myspace under that name, with no information on it- just music, in order to see if anyone actually felt the tunes…

We didn’t want any preconceived ideas of what we’d sound like as plus one and beni g - as we wanted to do something fresh, and different from what we were known for and we wanted honest feedback! Fortunately people seem to be really feeling it and we are busier than ever, and we’ve not even really got started yet. We’ve been fortunate enough to have had good support from key heads like boy 8 bit, touche and sinden, and that has really helped us.

sirhan: The remixes have been on fire, you playing shows? and when you do, what will be the set up?

Jack Beats: Yeah we’ve started to get shows booked in as jack beats, i guess cos our remixes have been bubbling away, although we never really started this as a means to be in the clubs, as we tend to live there anyway!! However it’s wicked to start playing out fully the sound we produce… since were both pretty busy with our other dj work, its only ever gonna be 1 of us doing the gigs though. We both push the boundaries as dj’s, for a living, so i guess regardless of who you will see playing as jack beats, you can be sure we know what we’re doing!!

sirhan: Where do you look forward to playing the most?

Jack Beats: Any gig with seb chew or martelo…fabric always a great place to spin too.

sirhan: Since Jack Beats is a duo any solo work you plan on putting out?

Jack Beats: Jack beats is a still side line project for us- so we’re both working full time on the other things we are affiliated with, and also now and again on solo projects- though there are no scheduled solo releases right now, just jack beats releases.

sirhan: What will the orginal work sound like?

Jack Beats: The sound we have through our remixes is the sound of jack beats- so expect the original material to follow suit… We are just aiming for it to be one louder.

sirhan: Tell me about Ahead of the Game?

Jack Beats: Ahead of the game is a label we set up originally as a stable for quality hip hop and grime music hybridized with other genres such as jungle, dnb, dubstep, house etc. We’ve had 3 releases so far, and we are planning more. So far its simply always been about putting out quality and not quantity with aotg- and we want every release to be really hot- so that’s why we’ve taken our time with it.

sirhan: Any producers or djs we should look out for?

Jack Beats: Boy 8-bit, martelo, fake blood, duke dumont, proxy, skream, caspa and rusko.

sirhan: Any funny stories?

Jack Beats: If you play fake blood records backwards on 45 they reveal his identity!

and as promised…

White Williams - Violator (Jack Beats Remix)

and for good measure they also gave us their remix of Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Looky what we’ve got here! I was just sent this absolute big room, bassline stormer from what might be the bestest union yet. You’ve got the new reigning king of bassline, Sinden, teaming up with the reigning duke of heavy darkness, Duke Dumont, and it looks like they’re ready to show their first signs of life. I had no idea these two were even working together. Could it possibly be the first available tune out of the Machines Don’t Care Camp? Regardless, its pretty amazing.

Duke Dumont and Sinden - Rollercoaster

Yet another fantastic bass heavy mix off the No Love Lost Records Mixtape Project series. This one coming from Bushwick, Brooklyn’s DJ/producer AC Slater. Don’t worry, he looks nothing like the horribly tan, extra beefy, character off the 90’s show, “Saved by the Bell!” What you’ll get is a whole lotta bassline with some solid remixes, a slew of great tracks and a Jeff Spicoli intro – “Make up your mind duude! Is he gunna shit or is he gunna kill us?!” Influenced by early 90’s hip hop and some old school rave music, this mix is sure to cause some dancefloor (or bedroom) madness!!!!

The frigid weather we’ve been having in Chicago, -1° F, is enough to keep a person holed up in the house for days on end! Not too terrible if you’ve gone to the grocery, stocked up on some good food, a sugary snack or two, perhaps picked up a few movies and have some good music to get you through the chill!!

The lovely Kimberleysmobiledisco of TM, featured MeMeMe late January, It’s All About MeMeMe! complete with an excellent mix to get us going! I’ve just listened to the most recent they’ve whipped up for NLLR and it is one FINE PIECE OF ASS in the form of a mix. Sink your teeth into this one wherever you are, freezing or hot. Cheers!!

“MeMeMe, aka Moxie and Purlow, are a very tight Nottingham based DJ duo with a much buzzed about residency at much loved club, STEALTH. Having already played alongside the likes of EROL ALKAN, KISSY SELL OUT, SINDEN, NIGHTMOVES, BANG GANG DEEJAYS, LATE OF THE PIER, FRIENDLY FIRES, DETBOI, PRIMARY 1, D.I.M., CRYSTAL CASTLES, GUNS & BOMBS, LILLICA LIBERTINE and RORY PHILLIPS, these two fine and most talented individuals have thoroughly earned their deejay stripes and their career is barely off the ground. If like me you’re a big fan of the utterly fresh sound folks like HERVE, SINDEN, SWITCH, DROP THE LIME, SURKIN and friends are currently throwing down, then you’re gonna’ flip over this mix. In the space of 13 tracks and 1 hour MEMEME manage to whip up the euphoric frenzy of a full nights clubbing at the coolest venue imaginable. There’s more whirring Bassline and Dubstep-style sub-bass, Bmore and Jukey shake, grinding Electro pulse and stuttered post-Hip Hop, post-Rave beat and melody in this mix than you’ll know what to do with. It’s an absolutely bangin’ set from start to finish, comprised of only the very hottest tunes out there at the moment, selected and mixed to woofer trembling perfection. Needless to say MEMEME are going all kinds of good places in 2008. If after enjoying this exclusive mix that MOXIE and PURLOW have lovingly crafted for you, you are left craving more MEMEME, then you’re in luck! They did a sweet-as mix for Trash Menagerie only last month, which I’ve conveniently linked below. So there we are, go friend MEMEME, MOXIE and PURLOW on Myspace, check out their extensive list of upcoming dates and get on this mix!!!” – No Love Lost Records
