fatherless
In fact, I don't think it is going to matter which mix you decided to play, this tune is certain to cause a stir. Massive! With the likes of T. Williams (Deep Teknologi), 62 Down and Doc Daneeka working their magc on Breaches forthcoming release on Ramps sub label PTN, I don't think I am the only one looking forward to when this one drops.
phat stack
PHAT STACK aka James Butler is a fairly new face on the fidget scene but defiantly demands attention. With in 6 months of producing, Phat Stack had won a major remix comp, secured several releases and had an arsenal of fresh beats and remixes ready to roll. Since then he hasn’t stopped, unleashing track after track, packed full of dirty bass lines and crazy jacked up beats, always with a unique twist. Phat Stack was nice enough to send two bootlegs over for us to share with KLUBKIDS.

tim woodward, technology and ipad art
We love technology. But we love Tim Woodward's live ipad art even more. This lovely little piece was drawn live on his ipad and projected as AV on the fly during Kid Kenobi's set last Sunday at Splendour In The Grass. Go art. Go technology. Go Kid Kenobi's set at Splendour. Go ipad.

midland
So much awesome music coming out on a 'deeper' at the moment from a bunch of young and 'fresh' producers. New and 'up and coming' producer Midland is of that breed. I recently came across one of his tunes and hunted down a mix he did for Mary Anne Hobbs show on BBC 1 and quickly realised this guy is going to be one to watch in 2010! Tight productions fusing garage, tech, dub, house and jungle, his tunes seem to come together so seemlessly with that wicked balance of emotion and dancefloor appeal! With an EP currently out on Phonica Records, remix work with Ramadanman and heap more to come - all I can say is watch out! Check these previews from his EP on Phonica for a mix of junglist, dub 2010 vibes and solid house grooves. Love it.
Download link for his mix on the Mary Anne Hobbs show on his soundcloud here.

the adventures of kid kenobi ep
At last my debut EP is ready to roll! Yeah I know, I've only been DJing for 14 years now! I could run off my speil about it but I got this on email this morning and I think t says it better than I ever could. Awww, thanks Cammy!
"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you, without a dope beat to step to". I finally feel what Eric B and Rakim were saying. Long time partner in crime Kid Kenobi has finally put the breaks on touring the globe to put down his first solo EP. And it is, as industry heads would say, "A RESULT!!!" But an MC like me calls it "wicked my selecta!!!", on all level's.
I have had the chance to share the stage and feel the energy come off the crowd when he dropped "Breakers Revenge" this year on tour, marveled at the vocal stylees of Jack Byrnes on a massive system in "The Hour", been taken on a flashback to the breaks days with "Watch Out", and blessed to be asked to deliver the vocals for "Silicon Soul" - a song born from the observation of disintegration that can be every day city life, a song of hope for our future life in this little village called Earth , and mostly a call to my brotherman, "The Kid" from my soul, to keep our tribe's, our selves and our heart's strong.
One love in 2010... Check this out!"

katy b on a mission
Are we once again approaching an age when underground music dominates the mainstream and becomes pop? Only time will surely tell but Bengas' production and the sweet vocals of Katy B is sure to cause a stir. Such a dope tune!

loveable freak
An oldie, back in 2005 when Tom Thum won the beatbox battle team world championship. We love him and his freakshow.
quincy and herbie
This vid is just classic. I never get sick of watching it. To see two pioneers like this in action is just priceless. You can't help but watch in awe, excitement and amusement as the foundations of dance and electronic music quite simply unfold in front of your eyes. With this sound as relevant today as it has ever been, it is really interesting to listen to and understand there veiw of sculpting synthesis and machine into 'a thing of beauty'. So many awesome quotes in their for every budding producer and don't forget......'The funk will prevail.......'
and to see how this has inspired a whole generation, new and old, you have to look no further than here...
