Finally getting around to posting the latest top mix by Mr Graeme Sinden for We Make It Good Mix Series Vol 3. This mix is drenched with some fantastic tracks from the likes of Fake Blood, Detboi, machines don’t care, Skream and more!! Greame has some words to say on the mix and with each track, which means I am off the hook!!
“It was always going to be hard to compete with the 2 previous DJ mixes in the series (large up Pretty Titty, Chris Devlin) but i managed to surpass them (haha jokes!). Nah serious that’s too bold a claim, but I am happy with how it turned out. Its a fair representation of some of the jams i’m playing in my club sets right now. And the mix is very ‘right now’. As I write this, none of the tracks have been released yet. Not that I just play dubs, mind. I draw loads of old and familiar tunes, too, because that would be dumb and who cares how exclusive you are anyhow. I really wanted the mix to be a kinda preview to a whole bunch of stuff to get excited about in the forthcoming months. It was a good place to air some new productions fresh out the HD (machines dont care, the count and sinden) and big up a few new cats too (rude kid, detboi, mujava). Enjoy!” – Graeme Sinden

And the monthly party he throws with the Trouble & Bass crew at Love in Manhattan, has blown up! It seems absolutely nothing is stopping our favorite basshead and that’s fine with us!
Here’s DTL’s last live Fabric mix from March and some older interesting footage of him dancing somewhere in the green fields of what looks to be England? Love the glove and the animals.

I’ve been meaning to put up this excellent mix by Foamo for some time, finally getting around to it! Touted as one of the brightest up and comers out of the U.K. by way of High Wycombe, Foamo is on the hot tip of just about every Dj and production team right now. His tune “Rockerman” can be heard on the latest Crookers Radio 1 essential mix (mix below) and an edit of “Moving it over Here” by JFK of MSTRKRFT landed on their essential mix as well! “Rockerman” is listed on Drop The Lime’s ‘Top Bangers To Sweat Right Now’ and Foamo’s remix of Primary 1’s “Hold Me Down” on Armand Van Helden’s June Top 10! Foamo has also been getting heaps of love from Kissy Sell Out! Erhm, really, what more could one ask for?! Check out this summer banger that is bass heavy, loaded with some favorites!!!!

One of my all time favorite tunes heard at pretty much all the mad house and rave parties I attended back in the day, has to be Paul Johnson’s “Feel My M.F. Bass“. Any dj that dropped this track meant some serious business – and when it was pitched up, destruction would ensue. The fact that Acid Girls kicks off their No Love Lost Records mix with it, is a good indication where this mix is headed – straight to REPEAT!!!!
Fantastically infectious and smooth, Acid Girls deliver a mix that achieves wonderful things with some spectacular gems and a minimal feel. Get to listening and be sure to catch Acid Girls and Trash Menagerie in Chicago for our debut party ‘TAXIDERMY‘ Thursday, 26th June!!!!!
“Sun baked duo ACID GIRLS provide us with mixtape number three this week, a gorgeous, subterranean march to the very epicenter of feet trembling techno and next wave tribal house. Mixed with an exquisite sixth sense of what fuels a combustible dance floor, ACID GIRLS wring every potential second of sweat from their hour long session for NO LOVE LOST. These boys were clearly born with Berlin in their blood.
ACID GIRLS are currently working on a plethora of original productions, suggesting big things for this pair of concrete cocoon beat carpenters.” – Lee, NLLR
