Rackabeat & Bar-low: Big in the Game...

Very much like Siamese twins (but without the complicated toilet procedures) Rackabeat & Bar-low are joined at the hip. This super-producer/remixer/DJ duo are tighter than two coats of paint, on and off the decks. Anyone witnessing their storming sets up and down the UK at this summer's festival season will testify to that.

Bouncing around like men possessed of the Holy Ghost, Raks and Lo turned up the heat in the muddiest tents from Shambala to Glastonbury as residents of the much loved Chai Wallahs arenas. Playing a patented blast of hip-hop, funk, soul, beats, breaks, DnB, reggae, bootlegs and dubstep (occasionally at the same time, rocking a live drum machine and hand-built dub siren box, to boot) they never failed to raise the temperature.

These Bristol natives hold fort in their home city, too, running nights and remixing leading lights. Collabos with hotly-tipped musicians, and their own dope productions, are pricking the ears of the great and good of the underground music scene. And releases on the download giants, Riddim Fruit, are sure to win over mad new fans with a taste for dancefloor beats.

Check out their new virtual home at the all singing and dancing Rackabeat & Bar-low website for all that info, free mixes and cheeky booties. It's probably time you got joined to the hip, you dig?

The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance-floors and lighting up the radio airwaves since forming The Allergies and releasing their debut album in 2016.

Year in, year out, they’ve sharpened their skills on the turntables and in the studio, dropping one dynamite record after another. Clocking up ‘Album of The Day’ gongs, international ad and TV campaign spots, and Radio 6 Music A-list status, the pair show no sign of hitting the breaks.

After consecutive top 40 albums, the boys are getting ready to cut the ribbon on their next, BENEATH THIS SUN. And it’s another stellar showcase for their feel-good funk, soul sampling savvy, and heavyweight hip-hop.

This year they’ll be taking to stages, tents, fields, and cities, supporting the album with their ‘full-band’ live show. But, if you want to catch them in their element, check Moneyshot and Rackabeat cutting up the wax, too, as they take their DJ show to clubs and festivals, far and wide. From Space and Pikes in Ibiza to Glastonbury festival, they’ve shook stages and rocked spots.

So, if you like crazy turntable skills, hands-in-the-air beats, all mixed up with some classy crowd rocking music, then an Allergies double-decking DJ set will be right up your street.

“The Allergies music is big, bouncy and fat! Just how I like my funk” – Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6 Music

The mightiest oak grows from the humblest of nut...

http://soundcloud.com/Spinforth started his weekly* Scour for the http://soundcloud.com/Ghettofunk website back in January 2011, assisted by fellow Hong Kong Ping Ponger's Morphosis and Fat Harry. His quest was to seek out the choicest cuts from the freshest, often unheard of, producers ploughing their trade on SoundCloud. The Scour soon blossomed into a bit of a phenomenon, unearthing some of the finest producers to not yet have their tracks out in the DJ scene!

With incredible numbers of people checking out the weekly* posts, it seemed a logical next step to set up a brand new digital label, showcasing, and officially releasing, the creamiest of the crop of The Scour. Boom! http://soundcloud.com/scourrecords was born!

Expect all Scour traditions to be upheld throughout the initial releases; selection process, BPM order, making up of new words, a touch of nepotism from time to time, it's all here. The first first release is an eight tracker - It was only mean't to be five - see what we mean about upholding all Scour traditions :)

Leo NXT formerly (Roast Beatz), once rooted in hip-hop, has evolved into a versatile producer and DJ at the intersection of Hip House and Jackin House. Starting out as a hip-hop DJ, his early years were defined by scratching and crate digging. However, as his journey took him through vibrant club scenes across the UK and beyond, he discovered a deep-seated love for house music. For years, this passion remained in the background, but over the last five years, it has fully ignited.

Blending elements of hip-hop’s raw energy with house music’s infectious grooves, Leo NXT has crafted a unique sound. His production seamlessly merges these two cultures, resulting in tracks that sit comfortably between both worlds. As his tempos have increased, so too have his DJ skills—adapting to infuse low-key scratching and live remixing while keeping the energy on the dancefloor intact.

Now, with a refined focus, Leo NXT pushes boundaries, bridging genres while staying true to both cultures.
