This week in The Armory we're thrilled to have the latest addition to the Stanton Warriors' Punks label, Nixon, on the 1s and 2s. 

Check out Nixon's gorgeous, debut EP on Punks entitled "The Basics of Love" at: 

http://www.beatport.com/release/the-basics-of-love-ep/1420636

Nixon’s been mixing since before he first stood on a snowboard over 20 years ago. Being a pro-rider on the European snowboard scene for over 15 years opened up a huge freesport audience to his mixing talents and he’s been a regular at massive surf & snowboard events for years. 

It comes as no surprise then to this crowd, that Nixon is receiving respective accolades on the London scene for his musical talents. 

A random meeting with Justin Rushmore of FLR whilst snowboarding led to a move to London in 06 and to a new addiction – producing. His 2007 collaborations with D&B golden boy, Shimon, took the scene by surprise, with clubbers loving the heavily influenced D & B breaks - a fresh vibe in an increasingly jaded breaks scene. With three releases under the FLR wing, ‘I Like You’ received rave reviews, receiving regular airplay on both Annie Nightingale BBC and Kiss FM’s Jay Cunnings show. The second release “White Noise” went to No 13 in the DMC Buzz Charts, and ‘Around the Edge’, charged to No 1 in the Beatport Breaks chart.

Whilst Nixon’s background was rooted firmly in thrash and drum & bass, his DJ style today, is a blend of tight break necking beats, topped off with deep gut rumbling bass.

Engineering his own solo tunes, it’s a hard life dividing his time between snowboarding, and his recording in the studio! His strong self-expression of snowboarding is clearly continued onto the decks & is a lifestyle balance most DJs would kill for. The Mixologists, Aquasky, Tayo, Darren Jay, Davide Carbone, MC Chickaboo, Utah Jazz, the list is endless - have graced the decks with Nixon.

Now billed as the UK’s top pro-DJ/music producer and professional snowboarder, from his debut at London's superclubs - Fabric & Ministry of Sound, he’s now a regular on the underground club scene & plays a host of international festivals including the legendary Snowbombing. 

Moving forward, Nixon has stretched out his knowledge of quality music, composing music for UK computer games giant Codemasters and their Dirt 3 & 4 games. Top brands such as CASIO, QUIKSILVER, MONSTER, NIKE, SHARP have endorsed and used Nixon beats & sound design for their Global Marketing Campaigns. This in turn has opened doors to remix works by global sensation Ben Howard & upcoming acts such as A Girl Called Ruth & Ryan Keen. Stepping from clubland to culinary, he also produces music for Jamie Oliver's DJ BBQ and to movies with CGI giants, the Foundry.

Now signed to the world famous renegades of beats & bass, the Stanton Warriors Punks label with his newly released The Basic Of Love Ep includes the tearing remix of LTJ Bukems classic club anthem Atlantis.

The Beatslappaz

Backbeat was a monthly event here in Perth, Western Australia a place for Breaks and the promotion of it to like minded people in the club scene. Thanks to one person DJ Gully (RIP) the Breaks scene excelled back in the mid 2000's and one of the acts to brace it's presence was the Beatslappaz. While at that time it was all about the Nuskool/Tearout Breaks the Beatslappaz continued to grow and eventually lead them onto the path of winning a Stanton Warriors remix competition and gaining acknowledgement among their peers leading them to their own EP release on the Punks Music label. This is a rare mix from them, i hope you enjoy !

Beatslappaz - Backbeat Promo Mix February 2007

This week in The Armory we’re thrilled to bring you this mix from our good buddy, Martin Flex, and MC Rubi Dan as recorded live on Flex FM in the UK several weeks ago. Press Play. Get down. 

Martin Flex aka PuRe SX, is one of the freshest names on the bass & breaks scene. A producer who knows how to drop the 808 boom and send the bodies flying around the room. Blasting out of the thriving UK underground since 2008, he currently DJs all over the world from USA to Russia, London to Spain, and beyond. 

Famous for low end terrorism in the form of his smash hits Taking It Back, Shake Ur Body, Sunglasses, Another Day, Let Me Go, Bustin Dubz, 212 Booty and Link Up alongside Deekline, Martin Flex aka PuRe SX has picked up support for his music from all the top names on the scene, from Deekline to Stanton Warriors, Ed Solo to Lady Waks and Krafty Kuts to the
Freestylers.

After his successful "Let's Go Tours" of the U.S.A. in 2015 & 2016, he is returning back for another U.S.A tour in early 2017... Watch out!

Here is a producer and DJ with the skills to lock down the club for as long as he's on the decks: a true original with an arsenal of floor-shaking weapons to get those hands up and keep them there 'til the break of dawn.
