A staunch supporter of small independent labels and self-producers via her monthly radio show F.A.B.

Juice Wrld - Lean Wit Me (God Of Core Remix) [Hard Hybrid Trap]

Sticking with LSM tradition, we are kicking advent off with an exclusive track from multi-award winning music producer, film maker and DJ Rory Hoy. Of course, the original "Everybody Needs a 303" is a track by big beat don Fatboy Slim, released in 1996 as the first single from his legendary album Better Living Through Chemistry. Mr Hoy revamps it for 2020, adding his unique touch, it is funk fueled and dance floor ready.

We are super excited to feature this track!! Christmas this year is going to be a bit different but with music this good to get us through, we might just manage it ....

CC RADIO: Episode 098 with Just Her & Jay Hill

Lee Coombs: soundcloud.com/analogdelayed

For advent day number 3, we're rolling out the heavy artillery as we bring you an exclusive free track taken from Lee Coombs' brand new album Phazon! My House is a deliciously twisted, deep-as-a-canyon Acid-Hose bubbler that you'd just love to hear being blasted out of a sound system in the early hours. Its intensity would easily be enough to stoke up the engine within and keep you powering on till the bouncers tell you it's time to go home!

The Acid House sound found in My House is one that is spread thick across Lee's new album as he pays homage to '80s House music and the pioneers who made it happen. While all of the influences from those times are present in the 12 tracks featured on his album, they've all been delivered with a modern twist with the dancefloor firmly in mind. Peak-time shakers sit alongside tracks like the one featured and as a unit, they'll lead you off on a journey you'll never forget!

Advent Day 3 : Lee Coombs -  My House

Martin Chandler is a good friend of the LSM family and many of our loyal listeners may have heard or seen him through Simon Shackleton’s (Elite Force) series of extravaganzas (for more of these mixes see https://hearthis.at/martinchandler ). We have managed to drag him screaming out of lockdown to produce a mix of awesome beauty and strength. 

Focusing on techno at the melodic end of the spectrum this glides through a blend of old favourites and new tracks (especially the absolutely incredible Sleepwalker by Tinlicker). He said these are the tracks he is most playing at the moment in which case I think we’d all like to be at his house this Xmas ( though I’m not sure he’d be too happy at that prospect). It’s a great mix to warm you up on a cold night by encouraging you to dance, dance, dance.

 Cheers Martin and Happy Christmas.

Sic Session 1.0 Live on Collective Beats

Dovetail is Sam Warren who I’m sure lots of the LSM posse know. For those who don’t she has been a constant presence on the breaks and tech funk scene for many years. She’s a particular supporter of women DJs and musicians through her series of podcasts "in the Key of She” , one of whom will appear here on Xmas eve.

The mix is a glorious jump around breaks/tech funk/techie/dubby mash up of everything that is good about the music world at the moment and might make you forget about the last year a bit. Starting from the blistering Alt A remix of Perpetual Present’s One Way it moves into her own track Keep Your Disdance (as I write this No1 in Beatport’s Top10 Break releases) on BreakWind records (no sniggering at the back please). The tracklist flies through a great selection including a whole host of Diesel Recordings releases, surely one of the best and forward thinking breaks labels around at the moment. The mix doesn’t slowdown right to the end and leaves you wanting more.

Tracklist:

Perpetual Present – One Way (Alt-A remix) [Diesel Recordings]
Dovetail – Keep Your Disdance (Original mix) [Break Wind Productions]
Lydia Eisenblatter – Modulate (Original mix) [OAM]
Will Clarke – Let’s Rave (Meg Ward remix) [Trick]
Sasha Dog – Chasopys (Windom R Remix) [Calligraphy Recordings]
3Mušketers – Free Cocaine (free download)
Caribou – Sunny’s Time (Logic 1000 remix)  [City Slang]
Nova, Lau.ra – Get Creative (Cousn Extended Remix) [Needwant]
Windom R - Diesel Funk (Original Mix) [Diesel Recordings]
Desert Sound Colony, Baby Rollen – Beta Burner (Original Mix) [Futureboogie Recordings]
Jesse Jacob & YIRI – Abundance [via Bandcamp]
