"Silicone Shelter (King Unique Bootie)" The xx vs. Alan Fitzpatrick & Reset Robot (LowQual Preview)

Here at Data Transmission we've always been a little hesitant when it comes to mash-ups; too many rappers dropped over classic rock or synth pop has left us mentally scarred. Step forward Chester's King Unique, with a bootleg remix combining three top dogs of contemporary dance; we think we've just been converted!

Combining Napoleon's 'Heart Of Night', Dave Seaman's 'Justified Replacement Of Lulu (Joeski Remix)' and 'Kiss Me Again' by Bakradze, Unique weaves a tech house groover with a tropical twist.

The tracks are taken from Unique's new 25-track Beyond Borders: London compilation for Armada, which includes a full 77-minute mix. Said to blend "old school drum ‘n’ bass and speed garage soundsets with the bump and groove of melodic house" the album is the first in a new mix series; Unique explains the concept via press release: "There’s no preconception; there are no expectations placed on the artist stylistically, the mix is literally 'without borders'. The only anchor is that it be tied to a place, and even how literally that is taken is up for grabs."

Kicking things off Unique wanted to explore the"musical mutation and graffiti scrawled grooves" of London. “I’m now mining the weirder techy end of the underground, in a scene where the ‘90s heritage is as relevant as when I started. I’m a ‘90s house coelacanth, an actual ‘90s producer that the kids can gawp at and prod with sticks,” he jests. "There are some bits of music on here that I adore more than my children.”

Beyond Borders: London (mixed by King Unique) drops today and we've included the full album tracklist for your approval, here: http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/news/debut-transmission-napoleon-vs-dave-seaman-vs-bakradze-heart-me-again-lulu-king-unique-rework/

Napoleon vs Dave Seaman vs Bakradze - Heart Me Again Lulu (King Unique Rework)

Stepping back onto the scene after an introspective break, King Unique helps Armada Music set sail with their brand-new concept mix series. Beyond Borders taps forward-thinking artists, enlisting them to assemble a sound set showcasing cultural music tones from various destinations around the globe. 

The King most graciously kicks out a Frankenstein-formed rework for the regal affair. Stitched together from three tip-top tunes, KU weaves calming strings, circular keys and a beautiful broken beat into a royally relaxed groove.

Here is a landmark 100th release of Asymmetric Recordings. A huge milestone to reach for any label, so what better way to celebrate than with one of the label head honcho's at the helm accompanied by the igniting vocal performance by MZ SUNDAY LUV (Get Physical, Rebirth).

Remix duties see the ever reliable, and always exciting King Unique take control. This remix takes us in to deep and deadly territories, adding a filthy distorted bass, a cascade of trippy fx and superb use of the vocal to create a serious rework. This gem straddles many a musical genre and is no doubt going to do some serious damage over the summer and beyond.

Support on the release from Sasha, Joris Voorn, Danny Tenaglia, James Teej, Raxon, Marc Marzenit, Guy Mantzur & more

for the first time here's the full 2 & 1/2 hour recording from my set at majefa back in january of this year. includes the 'hair / beard malfunction' speech i made after technical problems in the booth delayed henry's set on the night. just thought i'd explain for anyone who wasn't there - in reality both my hair and saiz's beard were, of course, immaculate as always.

Laurent Garnier - Jacques In The Box

Last year's '4' album saw Mr. Luke Vibert's first venture as Kerrier District in over a decade. And a successful venture it was at that – with the album becoming into an essential long player, and ranking as one of Bleep's top albums of 2015, Now, to mark Hypercolour's 50th single release, four of electronic music's heavyweights have brought forward three strong reworkings of 4: Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer, Head High (aka Shed) and RA Best Live Act of 2015, KiNK – whose remix comes up trumps in our eyes.

In his take on album favourite, "Techno Disco", KiNK deploys a spacey synth melody and a Reese-style bassline – transforming it into an energetic peaktime track, with elements not falling sonically far from a UR record.

King Unique is Matt Thomas, an all round studio junkie and dj with a taste for tripped-out cosmic techno and rough-edged underground house; in a career spanning nearly a decade KU’s distinctive sound has won an enviable global following. A ceaseless schedule of dj sets and festival gigs backed up by relentless studio sessions resulting in scores of records, remixes and radio broadcasts has made the KU sound an instantly recognizable part of the music-life of millions of the world’s clubbers - and a fixture in the vinyl crates, cd wallets and laptops of the world’s most influential djs. Consistently appealing across genres the tracks have been played by everyone from John Digweed to Soulwax, Richie Hawtin to Tiesto, and have turned up everywhere from Hollywood soundtracks to mobile ringtones - not to mention countless compilations and mix albums.  

Formed in 2001 by Matt Thomas & Matthew Roberts, King Unique hit the floor running, claiming the title of Undisputed Remix Champs by scoring five Essential New Tunes in five months on Pete Tong's "Essential Selection" Radio 1 show. A US Billboard Dance Chart number 1 for the remix of Dirty Vegas’ “Walk Into The Sun”, plus two more solo Essential New Tunes for Matt under his Watkins and Mainframe alter-egos saw KU firmly cement their place amongst the ranks of first-call remixers. The King Unique production touch has been in constant demand since, appearing on more than sixty remixes and yielding some of the biggest dance floor bombs known to man - Underworld's "Two Months Off", The Killers "Somebody Told Me", Planet Funk’s “The Switch”, John Dahlback's "Late Night Worries", and Tracey Thorn’s "Grand Canyon". 

2006 saw the end of the original duo’s studio partnership, as Matt Thomas took on the King Unique role as a solo artist. The four years since have seen the KU sound rise to new heights with a mixture of euphoric acidic melodies, dark brooding techno vibes and old skool beats. This new 'cosmic techno' has found it's home on John Digweed's Bedrock label with the release of "2000000 Suns" and the KU / Anthony Pappa collaboration “Vamoosh”. Backing up the new material have been remixes of John Digweed’s “Bilder”, Hernan Cattaneo’s “Teleport”, Fergie’s “PCP” and an on-going association with James Lavelle’s UNKLE project that has so far resulted in five stunning re-workings; “Heaven”, "Heavy Drug", “The Answer”, “Reign feat. Ian Brown” & “Rabbit In Your Headlights feat. Thom Yorke” - all adding up to reaffirm Matt's status as one of the most versatile and consistent producers of the last ten years.

The renowned King Unique dj set has made KU a regular addition to the line up of some of the world's most respected clubs and biggest festivals, playing everywhere from ultra-hip blacked-out sweat boxes in Tokyo to euphoric crowds of thousands on the tropical beaches of Madeira. An increasingly hectic international schedule has seen Matt racking up enough air-miles for a free trip to the moon, with gigs in Sydney, Panama, Budapest, Seoul, Helsinki, Mexico City, Dubai, Rosario, Bogota, Kazantip, Vilnius - just to name a handful. Since the very first shows Matt has pushed at the cutting edge of the technology revolution that's swept through club culture, taking laptops, new gadgets and studio gear into the booth. 2010 saw the addition of the near mythic Monome controller to the sonic armoury - part track-mangling Ableton controller and part psychedelic light show, lovingly hand built by techno-hippies in the Catskill Mountains. 

Matt + Mac + Monome = Beats + Bleeps = KU Live 

See you by the speakers ;)
