Paper Tiger – Send Me

As promised a couple weeks back we have a brand new release from Paper Tiger hitting our playlist. This 3 track EP is typically eclectic for the group, whose influences include reggae, garage, glitch and hip hop. ‘Send Me’ has cutty 2 step vibes, with a nice sampled vocal and a funky rhythm track. There are 2 versions on this cut, track 3 being the live version, all recorded in one take with no overdubs. ‘Ask Me How I Am’ is a the tripped out B-Side with a deeper vibe. These are some accomplished live performers and I will keep emphasising this – GO AND SEE THEM LIVE!!! This will be your next opportunity;

Mr Skank Sinatra

Young producer Dan Clapham aka Mr Skank Sinatra is but one of the young producing talents from Manchester and after only producing for a little over a year he is celebrating his first release. ‘You’re Right Here’, featured on the Robot Bodypop show, got a release this month on Morbit Records and we are loving it. Classy dubstep vibes on this cut with a remix on the flip are hopefully a taster of whats to come. There’s also a serious amount of freebies on his Soundcloud which show that this chap is capable of carving his own sound with future-led beats alongside root sounding dubs. We’re excited to keep an eye on his future projects.

Also forthcoming is ‘Herbalist’ which is a deep and relaxed roller. Check it out along with everything else

Project 13 Manchester

Underground music continues to flourish with the passion of either a solo player or collective group. Its this passion that has gained streaming audio/ visual radio station Project 13 recognition and a following in Manchester and beyond. Going out live from the studio (which also doubles as one of the founders bedrooms) every Wednesday, this group pushes the boundaries of the genres they frequent. Branching out into club nights and now also podcasts its unknown in what direction this collective will head next but they are a solid and reliable choice for bass heavy music. Alongside the residents, recent guests have included Thelem, Guy Richards, Hedmuk, Compa, Biome and Pandemik with many of the shows available on the channels archives. Be sure to check these guys out.

Mungos Hi-Fi – Forward Ever

Glaswegian soundboys, Mungos Hi-Fi, return with a more digital outing than previous excursions and with this their third album, its upfront reggae alongside some of the finest vocal talent around. Positive vibes with each track and it sounds more like a party than an LP. A seriously diverse sounding record moving from ska to dubstep whilst maintaining classing backings and a nod to days gone by. Essential listening.

Best Believe It’s Free! EP Volume 2 – Dench Recordings

Big freebie from last month – Courtesy of Dench Recordings, this funky garagey 6 track bonanza holds some serious weight. Kicking off with a couple of crunk/hip hop remixes from Jaycek and Gage, the bragging soon stops and on track 3 we are into 4-to-the-floor territory with Vybem’s airy garage cut You Were Wrong. From there the pressure builds and builds to a big finale from Checan. You can check that last track out on this weeks show.
