we’re finally coming to london. well, officially we came last year for a senseless records party but this is the real deal. donky gang in full effect. myself, sluga and ghost mutt will all be manning the decks alongside residents from hoya and streets of beige. we’re kinda excited about it all to be honest.

as far as I know pixelord coined the phrase ‘russian dream team’ a few weeks back when hud mo and doom played moscow, supported by a troop of fierce russian beatmakers, aka the ‘dream team’. if only we could run shows like that down here.
anyhow, i thought it would be nice to post a selection of tracks from said dream team including a couple by our new guy on the block, 813. i don’t think all of these guys played that party, but they’re all great. and from russia.
let’s start with pixelord, and this remix of brighton local, and all round nice chap, manni dee…
MANNI DEE - Universal Symphony (Pixelord remix) by pixelord
dowdy popped up on the radar a few weeks ago with this synthy beast
Dowdy - bastard of 80s (demo) by Dowdy
dza’s starshark is pretty darn unstoppable
and so is sunpunch by lapti to be fair
and g5 music just put out this ep by damscray which some heat on it
and then there’s 813. of course i’m biased, but the ep we’re releasing from him later this year is next level, no jokes. five or six tracks backed with a slugabed remix. i’m so dam excited about it.
for now you can check these two beats… (or download this ep he did for the rad collective)
813 - Blue Mushrooms by Eight One Three
813 - Skittles acne (old track ) by Eight One Three
If you don’t have time to click and stream all these links then this amazing compilation by error broadcast is a great way to get to know the astounding russian beat scene.

tonight our radio show reaches the mighty one year mark, and to celebrate we will be rolling with all three of our residents, slugabed, ghost mutt and boss kite (who will play live). lock in here between 7 and 10pm bst. full family. no messing.
oh and if you’re really lucky we might even broadcast the whole deal on u stream, if we can make it work. otherwise just plain old audio will have to do.
