Hardcore will never die. Sadly, I was knee high to a grasshopper when Lennie De Ice’s We Are I.E was in it’s prime. I sure felt it’s aftermath though as the Acid House / Proto-Jungle anthem undoubtedly laid the groundwork that British dance music to follow for the next 20 years.
We Are I.E is set to get a facelift for a new generation as it’s 2008 rmx pack is set to drop on Y4K very shortly. Hijack, Caspa, Rennie Pilgrem and Drums of Death hold the honor of reworking the classic into modern day and with a remix roster like that, it’s a pretty safe bet that justice will be served.

Oh Death sorted us with a fresh new Trevor Loveys bit this morning as part of a promotional effort for the upcoming Death Before Disco night at Plan B in London.
Loveys alongside Chris Belsey make up the duo know as Li’ll Bo Tweak and have a few outings on Jesse Rose’s Berlin based Made To Play imprint.
We’ve written about Li’ll Bo Tweak in the past so have a go tinkering with the search function and see what else pops up. Shouts to Oh-Death, Jim Sharp and crew for including us on this mailout. Although we’re based in Canada, England (London and Bristol specificaly) STILL make up literally half of our global readership.
Brits, we know you’re reading this… Hit this party on the 12th!

Thunderheist’s third EP Jerk It is set to release some time in July on the Toronto based label Nasty Mix.
The original mix of Jerk It might not be news to trainspotters, it was released on Thuderheist’s indie outing back in March of 2007. However, it should be said that you’d have to be one nutter of trainspotter as the release was limited to a run of only 200 pressings.
Never fear, july 2008’s repress sees the tune reworked by four of Canada’s big wigs including Nacho Lovers, Megasoid and Nasty Nav.
Watch for NAST002 to drop soon! Until then, here’s Jokers Of The Scene ravetastic refix showcasing some cheeky Speedy J samplings.

Scott Cooper has drafted up a workout of a bootleg Mad Again version to help promo his upcoming North American Tour.
South Rakkas Crew - Mad Again (Scott Cooper Boot) 320
First stop is Toronto (Lucky Us!) and it’s sure to be a killer show. Yours truly and Fistfight are behind the promotion effort and to sweeten the deal, we’ve taken things back to LaVack Block as a venue choice.
Those who remember our past shows held at the Block might recall how balls out we take things there. To sum it up quickly… our show in January turned into a sold out sweat fueled make-out session at midnight and Rusko’s appearance a few moths ago was a wall shaking, crowd surfing, shower face fest.
To compliment Cooper’s “Ragga Tip” bass heavy house sound, we’ve rigged up a sampler loaded with Dancehall sirens and arcade laser bleeps to the third channel of the mixer. Wheeeeeeeelup!
If you’re nearby Toronto in July 4th, THIS IS THE SPOT.
DON’T FUCKING SLEEP. YOU’LL HATE YOURSELF LATER TRUST.
Friday, July 4

France-based duo Goon & Koyote drop their first ever EP entitled Wellness is Wild June 30th.
Odd as it is that this marks their first EP outing as a team, the pair have been the forerunners responsible for exporting the French booty-house sound to the rest of the world via the Diamond Grills mixtape brand for quite some time.
Wellness is Wild is busting at the stitches with ghetto bass funk and sees remix support from rooklyn, N.Y.-based DJ Dre Skull and Dress 2 Sweat label resident Dikulous.
Dikulous’ Zulu Remix has bubbled up to the top for us.. what can I say.. huge sucker for rave piano stabs!

Been loving a lot of bass heavy micro beats lately. It’s good taking a break from the face melters at times to get lost is some stripped-down low end funk. Here are two that have I’ve been all over in recent weeks. Riva Starr (no stranger to love on this page) does a bang up job with La Gatta, one of the B-Sides to the tribal anthem War Drums out now on Kindisch.
Deadset turn up the Acid on Robosonic’s Kaputt In Hollywood refix. Also included on Robosonic’s EP is a deadly remix by ChiTown’s Santiago & Bushido. You’ll need to buy that one though!

New on Wearhouse Music is Kelevra’s Bad Dog EP. Heavy on a Garage tip, the EP adds a good amount of variety to Lee Mortimer’s already stellar imprint.
Expect the big bass and jackin’ beats we’ve come to expect from Wearhouse, only add a surplus of sleazy attitude and swagger.
Kelevra’s Bad Dog EP is out now.

Moda (Lincoln’s hard leader party night) has recently launched it’s label Moda Music. JakZ get’s the honor of christening the launch of Moda 001 and to help kick things off the good folks at camp Moda have offered up JakZ’s face melter Got The Power to the share alike web community.

When I was 15, I’d go to rave parties, do a fuck load of Acid and trip out like a sonamabitch. Who didn’t thought right??
I’d have the occasional auditory hallucination and swear I’d hear weird shit inside tunes being played. One such memorable event was my interpretation of some synth line being a human voice saying “heeeeeere kitty kitty kitty”.
For weeks afterwards I was on a hunt, looking for some tune that said kitty kitty kitty in it. Obviously I never found the song. I was high out of my mind when I thought I heard what I heard so the quest was more or less pointless.
The Skull’s recently released LaLaLa on Kindisch has a similar effect on my ears. Is it just me or does this song say “bubble”? Also at the 1:18 mark my cell phone keeps ringing.. triiiiiiiiiiiiippin.

The Suspense WAS Killing Us. Boy 8-Bit’s long overdue Suspense EP hit shops this week. Breakbeat heavy and tweaked out like a Wichita Meth Head on Sunday, the EP gets straight to the goods.

During my time in London last month I had the great pleasure of partying at the famed FWD night at Plastic People. The tubes were a buz with talk of steps toward some sort of Techno / Dubstep hybrid sound a few months ago. Recently record shops have been seeing the result of all that talk with a seemingly never ending stream of mnml 4X4 Dubstep / Techno hybrids.
The sound may be a bit too minimal when hearing it for the first time. It should be noted that people felt the same about Dubstep in general years back and look how it’s morphed into it’s tearout facemelt vibe since then.
FWD was a bubblin’ with the new sound of Dubstep and Techno’s love child last month.. if it hasn’t hit you yet… be sure it will soon enough.

Payback for Villalobos’ mamoth remix of Blood On My Hands last year? Shackleton has a go this time on Perlon’s latest.

Tectonic’s wonder kid at work. Selected from the recent Aerial LP, renaissance man 2562 shows why he’s the talk of both genres lately.

This trend of binge posting needs to stop. I don’t even know where to start here. First off, where can I buy stock in OlieCorp? This guy is fun-fucking-real.
Incase you haven’t our past rambling love jones posts about him, we’re waaaaaaaaaaaaay into Oliver $ right now. And not one week after our last mention of Dollar, the man drops a dubstep(ish) tune.
Along with the the dubstep “bassjunk” inst mix you can peek his full vocal bassjunk mix and wicked bad fidget/house mixes in vocal, dub, orange chocolate and wintermint flavors.
I’m freaking the fuck out right now.
