Fabric’s tossed us this great mix from L-Vis 1990 as a little taster to his gig on Friday 5th June as part of FabricLive.

Looks like they’ve pulled in the nearest and dearest of UK’s finest and freshest – Radio1 legend Rob Da Bank, Sinden, Radioclit, Toddla T, it’s all sounding good – plus they’ve booked hands-down show must-have-of-the-year, Brighton’s legendary beatboxer Beardyman, who just won best live act at Breakspoll 2009. See it to believe it.

I forsee a long fun night steered by bass freaks, wonky movers and a balmy cigarette-tinged summer’s evening.

In the meantime, don’t burn yourself on this mix – I’ve listened to it a few times too many already. Would love to pontificate on it, but bed (UK time) beckons.

Room 1: GET FAMILIAR
Sinden, Duke Dumont, Toddla T & MC Serocee, Radioclit, De Tropix (Live), SBTRKT (Salvia/XL)

Room 2: ROB DA BANK & FRIENDS

Detboi is a freak. A bass freak! Ask the man himself “What is a Detboi?” and he’ll give you a straight answer: “Someone who tried out for Boyzone and never made it”. It’s obvious to everyone that Louis Walsh missed a trick there!!! But with Boyzone reforming for a few last ditch recession essential penny pinching concerts, i think it’s definately time for this Irish star to shine… cue spotlight.

With a look similar to that of an Aye-aye (google it), a sound as fruity as mangoes and a luck that would rival Noel edmonds with a bunch of numbered boxes you know you’re onto a sure winner. So, you’re probably wondering why you haven’t already heard of the young man? Well it’s quite simple says detboi, “Cos im not making dubstep. innit. rewind. Im big in the Philippines tho”. And if the Philippines say “Hey” then you, must surely say “Ho!”

Enough of this nonsense! Get on and listen to the music…..

Oh and please don’t forget to annoy detboi on his myspace with your Aye-aye impersonations.

Hervé and partner-in-crime Sinden, the original London rude boys

London producer and DJ Hervé has issued “Jungle Stepper” – the last track on his newly released 36-track mix CD “Ghetto Bass”" – as a little teaser for us all.

The CD which was released on 16 February, sounds like a big ol’ dirty mashup, with loads of his remixes and sound that spans the party genres: bassline, electro, dnb, dubstep and house (see tracklisting below). The CD is packed full of crowd-pleasers, such as Fake Blood’s “Mars”, Mr Oizo’s “Gay Dentist”, Rico Tubbs, and a remix of an original party tune, Human Resource’s “Dominator”.

“Jungle Steppers” is kinda what you’d expect – dub-drenched tune with a jungle breakdown, it’s a squelchy track that gets better once the break kicks in.

Never heard of Hervé? Known to his mates as Joshua Harvey, he also records under a multitude of monikers: The Count, Voodoo Chilli, Action Man, Dead Soul Brothers, Speaker Junk and Young Lovers – and possibly more.

Hervé hangs out in his house/studio a lot and occasionally leave London to DJ out (see dates below), sometimes producing sidekick Sinden. He also runs a record label in his spare time called Cheap Thrills.

It might help if I mention that he made the ubiquitous “Beeper” tune that’s run rampant across the garage/bassline land – see, now the penny drops! Get familiar on Beatport.

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 . . .
