Advent 2020

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 ....

Advent Day 1: Fatboy Slim - Everybody Needs A 303 (Rory Hoy Remix)

It's the early nineties and the breaks scene is thriving! At the heart of it was trendsetter Annie Nightingale with her Radio 1 show.  Here's an exclusive, never heard before mix from the Aquasky archive. Three men, eight albums, five hundred tracks, four labels, numerous aliases, myriad genres... these gents were truly at the forefront of the scene. Featuring legendary rapper Daddy Freddy, hopefully this will bring back memories of what was an amazing time in music.

Advent Day 6: Aquasky & Daddy Freddy - Radio One - 2003

This is a Latin and African inspired take on modern grooving, with percussive and bass laden, foot stomping depth. Miss Fi-Fi delivers a gift of speakers full of sunshine to help get through these cosy winter evenings.

Advent Day 7: Move Your Feet (Jimi Needles Kuduro Fix)

With some lush House music, some heavyweight Breaks and a slab of Acid House already lighting up our festive giveaway, it's time to make those baubles really glisten with a prime-time Disco sparkler courtesy of Andy Buchan. 

We first featured Andy's music back in 2017 and as some of you will already know, he has always delivered the goods every time he has visited the ward. Whether it be one of his edits of a classic golden oldie, a piece of new and original music or a remix featured on one of his friends EP's, Andy always seems to bring the feel-good factor to the fore and in these times, feel-good music is a priceless commodity all in itself.

The track Andy has kindly given us to give away to you for day 8 of our advent calendar is a tasty remix of his that originally featured on Conan The Selector's superb The Goodnight EP that was released earlier this year on Hot Gorilla Records - a new Disco label co-founded by them both. Taking on Goodnight from the EP, Andy lays down razor-sharp synths, a gorgeous vocal hook and spirit-lifting horns and piano over a feisty 4/4  beat and infectious groove that'll leave you feeling like you you just can't get enough! Download the remix on the player above so as the feel-good is only a click or press away.

Advent Day 8: Conan The Selector - Don't Say Goodnight (Andy Buchan Remix)

Digital Gangsters are back! Although production work has come to a halt due to covid restrictions, that doesn't mean they can't deliver a cracking mixtape. The name may give you a hint as to the kind of vibe it's aiming towards! Yes, for the 2nd time this advent we are celebrating the 303.

Advent Day 11: Digital Gangsters - Acid Elements Mix (acid / breaks mashup)

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.

Advent Day 4: Martin Chandler Mix 2020

As we pass the halfway point of our advent giveaway of music, we head down under to catch up with New Zealand based Brit Hexadecimal for day 13.

His offering is a classic Breaks set that was recorded live back in November when his Global Breaks Festival took place over on Twitch. The online party brought the Breakbeat family together for 2 whole days of fun and bass with DJs stepping up one after another to keep the party vibes flowing. Hexadecimal's set sees him select some of his personal favourites from the world of Breakbeat and as you're about to hear, they're the kind of Breakbeat tunes all of us die-hard fans love to listen to! Because the set has been recorded from Twitch, you will hear a bit of chat from Hexadecimal throughout, but that is the way of things these days with many DJs choosing to connect with their fans and followers who religiously turn up in the chatroom to support them while they entertain us.

Advent Day 18: The Beat-Pimp - Funk 'n Disco Mixtape

I reviewed one of Musicoleptik’s many releases a few years ago when he was playing at Techno Sundays at Cafe1001 in Brick Lane London spinning tracks that were more melodic than the backroom techno.  Although he has moved his music to more downtempo electronica (he still plays sometimes at Cafe1001 at their connected Yellow Tulip event - sadly not at the moment for obvious reasons) he found a track that he thought was more appropriate for us and it’s a cracker and exclusive to us.

The track reminds me a bit of Sebastian Mullaert until that warm deep bass kicks in like a blanket enveloping you whilst at the same kicking you out of bed with its rhythm. He called the track 'Wistful' but, although there’s a slight sense of melancholy in the melody, there’s nothing wistful in its intention – which is to make you move.

Advent Day 14: Last Resort - Andy Beck

Ruthie’s free download picks series started back in 2016. The original idea was to save cash to buy DJ hardware during the move to digital, whilst building up a new music collection.
2020 did not go to plan. Ruthie has learned that DJ controllers have loop features, meaning that vocalists, professional brass players and many other friends can more easily join in the jam and fun. Down the rabbit hole we go.
Special thanks to James Waring, Louise and Ollie, Steve Smith, Malcolm Strachan, Andrew Cerutti and brothers, Jack, Ross, Sid, and Tom for all you have done for me.

Advent Day 12: Ruthie's Free Download Picks - Volume 42

Two tiny ladies with big personalities and shared passion for all music from disco, house, electro, breaks and anything with big bass! When Madame Electrifie and Mini da Minx finally met, they realised that they could be twins. They teamed up for the very first time at the 2018 Christmas edition of Chix in da Mix at The Magic garden for a 2-hour back-2-back session and they blew the roof off completely! The mischievous duo then went on to take the 2019 festival season by storm and together brought the house down at Shindig, Beatherder, Cirque de la Quirk at the Isle of Wight and Shambala, and covered the rest of the major festivals such as Wilderness, Womad, Truefest and Glastonbury as solo artists.

On top of that they were exclusive DJs for a series of Adidas Rockstars events across the UK this summer, with Madame Electrifie going on to rep the brand in Germany. With 2020 firmly out of the way these pocket rockets are set to step things up once again. As an extra Christmas present you catch them streaming live worldwide on Twitch and Mixcloud on Boxing Day.
With a mountain of festivals, international tours, event management and production credits between them – these two can both hold their heads high on the scene, and as long as they have a box to stand on, the two of them together is going to be all kinds of trouble. But which one is the evil one??

It is with great pleasure that we present to you a rare DJ mix from the duo. Covid hasn’t stopped them putting together this funky mother!! This is what LSM is all about … we have disco, we have mashups, we have bass and a cheeky classic or two for good measure. This is a must have for the festive, party soundtrack.

2020 has been bad for the social calendar but as soon as Evil Twin get back behind the decks again, trust us, we will let you know!
