Leo Greenslade and ex-Bug Alex Phountzi have amassed an impressive collection of remixes under their Greenmoney guise. Here’s a double dose! ‘Newcomer’ SRC (watch out for releases on Butterz and Numbers) breathes new life into their ‘Skydiving’ remix, one of our favourites, and Greenmoney go deep with their ‘Trancestep’ remix of ‘Josephine’, the new single from Brooklyn’s Cubic Zirconia. Watch out for original material from the Fool’s Gold associated duo coming in the not too distant future.
After The Fat! Club Mix 001 became the most popular on Mixcloud this month (it’s now climbing up the all-time chart) in under a week we’re back with the second installment, this time from Australian producer Blaze Tripp. His remix of D-Bag’s ‘My Brother Was A Rockstarter’ has been on heavy rotation at Fat! for months (listen) so we asked him to put together a mix for you lot. The man from Down Under has come good with a first class blend of everything that is working for him in the club, from Hot City’s Count & Sinden remix to Noisia’s ‘Stigma’. Blaze says “Hopefully they won’t know what hit ‘em!”

For the past few months it’s been hard to go five minutes without hearing Florence’s wailing (in a good way, we think). Countless terrible bootlegs/remixes (save xx and Boy 8-bit), inappropriate television programs and advertisements later it would be all too easy to discount anything new from the fiery diva. This remix from Breakage, however, is to be filed alongside the best, sparing us from yet another ‘Dubstep by numbers’ remix of whatever Indie band might need to be a little more ‘hip’. We loved his recent Massive Attack remix and are eagerly awaiting to the release of his artist album (featuring a collaboration with Burial) ‘Foundation’, released March 15th by big-hitters Digital Soundboy.

Young Melé who last year sent us this super Count & Sinden remix and put together an ‘End Of Decade Mix‘ that belied his age (he’s 17!) is giving away his cheeky TLC sampling track ‘Digits’. You should check the new beats on his MySpace player, ‘Mugged’ is brilliant. Catch him at Kool Kids Klub later this month, and just because it’s Friday…

We’re partial to a spot of The Living Graham Bond here at Fat! so it’s always a nice surprise when we find something new from TLGB in our inbox. He sent us his Rough & Rumble mix and this cheeky Beenie Man bootleg. We can see this one popping up in all the right places over the summer after his Olive bootleg was featured in Major Lazer’s Essential Mix. The mix is, as ever, spot on with tracks from the biggest and best interspersed with some fresh faces (check the tracklist). We’re particularly enjoying his new track ‘Flicker’ featuring the vocal talents of Folk singer Fiona Bevan, listen to it in full over at SoundCloud.

Given the recent sunshine it somehow seemed fitting to talk all things Riot Jazz, Manchester’s brass plated troublemakers who this Friday (March 5th) celebrate their second birthday with J-Wow & Kalaf of Buraka Som Sistema at Moho Live in Manchester’s northern quarter. We talk to band member Axel.
We caught up with Wearhouse Music label head Lee Mortimer who this week released ‘Superman’, his collaboration with Foamo, on Wearhouse. Listen to Lee’s Klassroom mix for Kissy Sell Out, showcasing some of his influences and favourite tracks, while you read.
To mark the beginning of our new mix series we thought it only right that Fat! resident Foamo did the honours. Popping our proverbial cherry Foamo comes correct with a selection of all that is good in House music right now. From his own brand spanking ‘Centavo’ (we can’t wait to hear this in the club) through Blaze Tripp’s Rockstarter remix to the Garage leaning sounds of Deadboy and Randomer this is one of the best mixes we have heard this year, never mind the bias! Get this on the stereo now.
This week I.D. & Baobinga released ‘Bass Music Sessions’, their ‘name your price’ album project, through their blog of the same name. We caught up with them both to discuss the project…
