Reggae Roast – RR10

The 10th release on the vibrant UK reggae label sees ‘Show Babylon’ by Linval Thompson given the remix treatment. This collective thrives on providing uplifting vibes either in the series of releases or live at any number of festivals. This 4 track sees Dutch bassweight specialist TMSV on remixing duties alongside 3 dub and version cuts of this mighty track. Featured on this weeks Robot Bodypop show its yet another addition to a fine back catalogue and we’re already excited to see what comes out of release 11.

Hopefully you can catch Reggae Roast this summer as the 3 piece soundsystem takes to the road. Check out their website for more info

Freebie Roundup

Christmas was good to us fans of quality bass music. Freebies flying out from all manner of Facebook, Soundcloud and Twitter pages.

First up is 3 tracks from TMSV. All 3 are solid and deep tracks:

“I wanted to give away these 3 tunes to say thanks to everyone who’s been supporting me this year.
2011 has been a very good year for me and I hope that 2012 will be even better.

Thank you for listening to my music, spending your hard earned money on my releases, downloading my mixes and coming to see me play…it really means a lot.

Sentinelese and Levitate are two of my earlier 140 bpm tunes, from 2007/2008. Smoke is from 2010.

Thanks and have a great 2012,

Tomas / TMSV”

Check this fresh freebie from Riskotheque. Featuring bad language, naturally.

This free EP from Resketch blew us away. So much goodness! Grab it here and preview below.

Vibing to this tune recently, check the stylings of ENiGMA Dubz from Birmingham. Also free!

Also fresh out this month a new plate from Star Slinger. This is a wicked track. Bag it.

Lastly, this kid has killed it in 2011. Ollie Macfarlane‘s recent free EP holds promise of a steady rise in 2012. Not to be missed. Grab it.

Kaiju, Mykur and TMSV

2 free downloads this week, both coming out of the shadows with some deep and creeping soundscapes.

First up is a track put forward as part of the Dispatch Recordings Octane and DLR sample pack competition. 40 samples were offered up for producers to make use of and Method One by Kaiju is a big favourite of us here on the Robot Bodypop.
