Combined with Shogun Audio, this event sees Icicle, Rockwell, the mighty Break all playing alongside Manchesters Dub Phizix and Hit & Run head man Rich Reason. Hosts for the night are SP:MC, DRS & Strategy. Excited? You should be.

Raikes Parade

Incorporating electronic production along with live instrumentation, Raikes Parade AKA Andy Blundell is a musician & producer residing in Manchester. Working with bands before working on his solo project he’s producing some of the most authentic and organic riddims we’ve heard. Pushing the boundaries of the one-man band this is refreshing, exciting whilst also hard to believe its all coming from a bedroom. Check out his work on Soundcloud, Collaboration Dub with Relic being a favourite over here.

Mars002, Mute & Mako

Inspired by the soul and groove vibe found in the 90’s, label Mars hopes to re-establish ‘a sound almost forgotten’ in Drum & Bass. Mars002 comes with Mute and Mako on a double-edged roller. A-side ‘Essential Form’s keeps it bouncy with some smooth vocal stabs whilst the flip ‘Who Knows’ keeps the percussion tight with some punchy beats backed with a soulful energy perfect for the dancefloor.

Also celebrating 2 years in the game, Mako and his label Utopia Music offer up a free D&B stepper. A slice of future beats served up with some crisp drums and a side of twisted funk. Grab this while you can.

Apologies this week but we’ve both had to take gardening leave. As such we haven’t been able to lace the music with our sultry Mancunian tones and have had to let the music do the talking. The selection remains as upfront as always and normal service will be resumed next week. Enjoy.

Following on from Broke’N’English’s recent Umbro bursary, their versatile imprint Estate Recordings is back in business. Luckily for you, us and any other fan of upfront music, their first release is Mancunian wordsmith Skittles newest cut. Out on the 7th November, Dot2Dot is already on Radio 1 rotation and gaining airplay from Mary Anne Hobbs amongst others. Put simply, its a banger and with the release featuring remixes from Zed Bias, Dub Phizix and Joe Kalius its as fresh as you can get. Beats and lyrics come as good as it gets. Essential listening.
