The third part of our Producer#3 series. Following his recent release on the Manchester based Mind On Fire label, Danny Drive Thru provides two tracks for Producer#3. Eclipsemoonsun is a deeply burnt piece of atmospheric cimematica, smouldering & minimal. Crumbling drums merge with ethereal voices & weightless keys, its 3 minutes of disintegrating funk. Marcus Intalex under his new Trevino alias remixes. In line with his recent tracks for Martyn’s 3024 label & Scuba’s DJ Kicks mix he pushes the tempo to create a technoid stepper. Its a dusky production in the 130 bpm realm with a warm electro flourish and darker acidic undercurrent. After including his smash-up of the “death star theme” on Producer#2 and dropping his debut vinyl with the Cakeology E.P in 2010, the green llama aka Mr Dibiase returns once again to Fat City. Its classic Dibiase, all raw, chopped & loose around the lines, ripping apart some spaced soul parts in trademark wacked-out -cosmic fashion. Danny Drive Thru finishes off with his cover of MOP’s “Ante Up”. Included on the Producer#2 cd, the repsonse was so good we had to do vinyl. Virtual voices mix with lo-fi keys and beats. Tongue-in-cheek, clever, funny & addictive. More

Very limited, hand stamped vinyl release of Julio Bashmore & Swing Ting remixes of Mosca’s “Tilt Shift”. Julio Bashmore ups the tempo, warming the track whilst adding extra subs.

They provide an instantly effective blend of grime, garage & bassline with both their vocal & dub versions. Their remixes display their deep understanding of these styles. With the vocal version they cooly chop the rhythms into a ruff dance floor workout while the dub takes things deeper & dreadier, finding natural space in the groove & rocking a pure sound system rinse out. Support has come from all over including Marcus Nasty, Mosca, Wifey Crew & Simbad More
