Tracks For Myspace Player

not many would of heard this remix as it never came out, tho it did get a good battering by those we gave it to back then... a little d&b switch up here. it didnt get released as we were only asked to do the breaks version and high contrast had been paid for the d&b mix. twas a shame but no matter, we still get asked about this today and are still happy with both mixes we did of thise classic that we were listening to in the raves before we started aquasky... moving shadow were the best back in the day!

'Renegade Snares (Aquasky VIP Mix) - Omni Trio - Moving Shadow 2003

you know the scratching on that tune... thats me that is!!! :)

this one gave a funkier edge to the 'stayfresh' album and it seemed to crossover into more djs bags outside of breaks which was cool. krafty kuts use to batter this one out... i hope you enjoy listening to it as we did making it

'Take It To The Floor' - Aquasky - Moving Shadow 2003

Quite a dark one really for the ragga twins. we were surprised when they came with the lyrics but it worked so well with the backing track!

you may recognise this from the second series of Ali G in the USA!!! I know, it was mental. it was either to be this tune or the 'Loko' track we did with the twins on the 'beat the system' album, but 'dem no no we' won the race... it paid pretty well too :)

the beat is also quite ahed of its time, compared to the amount of bashy beats you hear these days!

'Dem No No We' - Aquasky ft. The Ragga Twins - Moving Shadow 2003 (Ali G!!!)

what can i say that hasnt been said before about this track... probably up there with 777 in our catalogue. this was and still is a BIG TUNE! was great to do a remix with parts that were totally useable!!! awesome...

'Whats Down Low (Aquasky Mix)' - Baitercell & Schumacher - Passenger 2004

some right old skanking biz here. there are some great reggae sounding breaks tunes around this era, mostly by the freestylers and tayo as both of those guys know their roots! another banger! on the flip to this was the track 'ready for this' with the ragga twins

'Party Skank' - Aquasky - 777 2005

it was great fun to work with mark. we have known him for donkeys, since he use to be on kingsize with our mate greg belson. tbh we didnt know if collabing with mark would work as we are from two totally different environments but this just proves that anything can be possible if you have the passion and want to try and be creative... yeah, this was a biggy back then :)

'Overneath' - Aquasky & Meat Katie - Passenger 2005

This wanst on the 'Teamplayers' album but on the EP that came out around that time. Its a little re-rub of a tune we did with Tayo for the album as we wanted something that was a little more dancefloor. Working with Tayo on the original was great as he had the same vibes as us. Earl 16 was awesome as well!!! real deep and rootsy!

'Looking For A Session (Dub Mix) - Aquasky & Tayo ft. Earl 16

we like doing tunes with the twins that use classic breaks... it works well and compliments their party lyrics... i am sure you have seen the method by now! this one was another big seller. we also roped in DJ Go from Mixologists as well!!!

'Everybody Hype' - Aquasky ft. The Ragga Twins & DJ Go (Mixologists) - 777 2006

an awesome original and we were well pumped in getting involved in a remix on this one... we wanted to take it back to the bassline vibes of the early 00's on this remix (we also did backdrafts labrat remix the same week!) The Breakfastaz never would tell me who sung on the original version, its someone famous... any ideas???

'The Pressure (Aquasky Mix) - The Breakfastaz - Passenger 2006

i use to listen to a lot of miami bass in the late 80s and early 90's so we wanted to make a tune in that style. acafool came to see us when we were performing in Miami in 2006 and we got on well with him so he was the vocalist for this project. we wanted to name check some of the original pioneers of the scene in the tune (if you are into that kidna music i am sure you can spot em!)... he is a great vocalist and we are writing a new track with Acafool this week

'Have A Good Time' - Aquasky ft. Acafool - Passenger 2007

Not sure how we managed to work with Friction but it was great fun... we did some here in bournemouth and some in his brighton studio... spyda laid his lyrics down in nottingham... this is proper bassline breaks in a BIG WAY!

'Control Freek' - Aquasky & DJ Friction ft. Spyda - Passenger 2007

another ragga twin sure shot!!! classic breaks, classic mcs, classic old school producers. mash it up now! plenty more to come like this!

'Let Me See Your Hands' - Aquasky & The Ragga Twins - 777 2007

'Tell Me You Love It (2Bad Mix)' - Aquasky ft. Blu Rum 13 - 777 2008

we did a load of hip hop tunes with blu rum 13, basically using samples mostly from eastern europe and russia. they were sat on our harddrive for over a year when we decided it is probably worth releasing them even tho our 777 label wasnt known for hip hop... thats why it o blatently named 'The Hip Hop EP' to ensure minimal upset to the breaks heads!!!

'Legs' - Aquasky ft. Blu Rum 13 & DJ Format - 777 2008

another track from the 'hip hop ep' that we put out on 777 back in 2008. this features Melanie Jane on the rocky vocal hook and the incredible ITF/DMC DJ champion DJ Woody... and of course blu rum 13... this one has a kinda punky rock edge to it. something a bit different!

'The System' - Aquasky ft. Blu Rum 13, Melanie Jane & DJ Woody - 777 2008

i met sporty-o during the summer of 2007 whilst in LA djing... he was a mate of DJ lethal from House Of Pain / Limp Biskit. I was at lethals studio when we were introduced. we got on well and it was decided to fly back out in october 2007 and write tracks with sporty-o, lethal and crash berlin as well as pink enemy. i stayed out there for 6 weeks... it was awesome! we got loads done with sporty-o...

but as is always the way in breaks others were lazy in looking for their own vocalists and decided to jump on ours (naming no names!!! cough cough) and since then we decided not to water down our stuff and didnt get to write anymore with sporty-o which was a shame but no worries... we hooked up with wizard sleeve the following year and had great success with them so things happen for a reason!

this tune still goes off... it should of been a black noise tune really but it was so fun and summery it really had to be an aquasky release as its pure party times!

maybe one day in the future we will work with sporty again... the international businessman :)

'Outta Control' - Aquasky ft. Sporty-O - Passenger 2009

another track and another classic break... we were inspired to do these tunes after a run of live kinda gigs with the twins during 2010. we hadnt played breaks for over a year as we were doing our black noise project. but after making this with the twins we were back onto the breaks again!!! bigtime... on the flipside was 'raggatron'

'Living Legends' - Aquasky ft. The Ragga Twins - Passenger 2010

We were sent this tune by Nick Thayers cousin... BillPosters! And he must have known we love great melody lines with big basslines because we signed it up with the flipside 'Lands End' (heavily supported by Rusko!) As well as us remixing it we got Crissy Criss from 1xtra to do a d&b and drumstep versions... 

this is the new/old sound of aquasky which ever way you want to look at it!!! enjoy... album soon come!

'Hold On (Aquasky Mix)' - BillPosters - Passenger 2011

Review from Data Transmission:

A pair of deafening plots hatched by Aquasky involving testing of the bravery of some legendary jungle/drum & bass tonsils
So you have Diane Charlemagne of Goldie’s Inner City Life eternality on hire to uplift Take Me There – with rave pianos on the rise and big diva lyrics wrapping themselves around the room, you’re thinking, feelgood hit of the summer. That’s before Aquasky’s thunder and lightning of dubstep puts Charlemagne slap bang in the middle of a storm as a prophet of doom, eyes retuned into a Carrie-style bloodlust. You then cotton on that when she sings “I don’t even care if I drop”, forget the mountain vantage point she describes, it means there’s a spewing volcano with her name on it that’s she eager to backflip into. A furious typhoon that looks up Armand van Helden’s Alienz on its family tree and donates a 4x4 breaks branch of rampant malice, hold onto your hats as the G-forces wrap up the gift of whiplash. 
 
Part two of the female fury has Kelly Richards from EZ Rollers pointing her famous vocal barrels at a quarrelling hopscotch, Aquasky going for a paddle in a mutant pool full of piranhas and electric eels, that does jump-up breaks with a bounce trying out-vault dubstep dimensions. It’s high voltage, but fun to step to as it dares you to double-dutch over third rails and live wires innocently enough. Yet for a second time the vocals become an energy source for a harrowing turn of events. The screeching, tooth-loosening percussion should be a giveaway, with Richards the Lady Roller pulling her scalp back to reveal she’s Medusa’s second cousin. As a tech-step thrash crumpling civilisation like a crisp packet and turning dream waves into shockwaves on red alert, second time around you might not be so casual with where you plant your feet. A pair of real stormers from Dave Wallace, Kieron Bailey and Brent Newitt. 8/10
