The Eyes – Harder

Estate Recordings goes from strength to strength showing that the recent Umbro bursary was well deserved. The new single, their 7th release, drops on the 20th August and it’s a killer.

On the A side it’s the first release from super-producer and selector Chimpo and ridiculously good vocalist Fox. They go by the name of The Eyes and it’s a fantastic mix of talents with each artist going back to the roots of music with the vibes on this plate. Both tracks found their way onto the playloist of this weeks Robot Bodypop radio show.

‘Harder’ is a reggae anthem with a hook, which should have people singing throughout the summer. On the flip you have ‘Come Again’ which switches up the vibes with a dancehall riddim this time featuring Strategy found recently rocking speakers worldwide with ‘Marka’

Talented video work from Joe Gavin once again. Really excited to see whats next from both Estate Recordings and The Eyes.

Summer is definitely with us and we have crafted a show for outside play especially. How are your neighbours going to learn to appreciate good music if you don’t turn it up? With a couple of delicious freebies from Sound Pellegrino Termal Team and Squarehead we are set firmly in House territory for 1nejack‘s set. Bringing in brand new Dubstep from Gravious and a keen Orbital remix from Concept we’ve also details Qualmsound‘s brand new ‘Elements’ EP and we feature the Blynk remix of ‘Water’ from the very same. Killian brings more free music from Aaron Static, Sunyata and Shaolin FC, plus some Siberious vibes in Volume 6 of the mighty Transmit Series as Vaomm jumps in to a brilliantly bright mix of varied colours and flavours. эти русские с ума!

Joe is just Joe, watch out for him doing his thing at Robot Bodypop‘s live shows in the future. You’ll have to come along to see exactly what that is though!

Free Beats

Just a few tracks for free this week but they are varied, solid and more importantly legal because thats how we roll on the Robot Bodypop show. Digging out the freebies so you don’t have to.

First up is a deep dubstep track from young Accrington based Epoxy named ‘Cut Off’. Clean production and fierce sounds make this a must-have. Bag it from the Autopsy Audio Soundcloud page and there’s plenty of other free cuts on there too. Indulge.

Next up is another example of why Bandcamp is a badman source for music both free and paid. ‘Sun For Days’ by Fetch features on this weeks Robot Bodypop show and comes part of a 5 track E.P entitled The Formula Vol.1. Summer vibes going on with some slick guitar hooks. Lovely warm riddim. You can bag it for free but it’s nice to chuck these guys even just a quid for their trouble. Do it. Do it now. All 5 cuts are dope.

Get involved.
