Tune Reviews 002

Just Garage are back with the 2nd edition of tune reviews. Artists featuring in this selection of tune reviews include: DJ Phyzical, S.K.T, Oggie & Swiftee, Chuwy Beats, Jay Harvey, Meat & Drink, Mark House Productions and the massive M.I.Raw Camp

DJ Phyzical - Hooked On You

A good quality UK Garage tune, one that will appeal to the ladies. Vocals accompany the 2step beat very well and this is a track everyone should own, no excuses, especially as it was available recently as a freebie on the uptown records forum. Looking forward to hearing more releases from DJ Phyzical. For more information and to hear the track, check out Phyzical's myspace at: www.myspace.com/djphyzical

Miami Superfly Boys Ft Sweet Female Attitude - So Damn Crazy (S.K.T Remix)

This track features the ladies who brought you the garage classic, flowers. None other than Sweet Female Attidue who appear alongside Miami Superfly Boys on this one entitled 'So Damn Crazy'. The track has fallen into the hands of the up and coming producer, S.K.T who has given it a 4x4/bassline remix. I predict this one will be a summer club smasher up and down the country and on the holiday islands. For more information and to hear the track, head over too www.myspace.com/djskt

Holly Harisson - Tell Me - S.K.T Mix

A funky bassline anthem, this time S.K.T switches the flavours on this one featuring the vocal talents of Holly Harrison. This track has great potential to tap into a few different markets and i reckon youll hear the track alot in the coming months being mixed and chopped into uk garage, bassline and funky house sets everywhere. Track also has the potential to do very well commercially. Remember who told you first. Again for more information and audio check out:
www.myspace.com/djskt

Swiftee & Oggie - Should Have Known Better

Okay, well, if you thought this track would be anything but brillaint, then as the title says you 'Should Have Known Better' Oggie delivers the goods on this bassline beat, following on from All I Wanna Do (as featured in the 1st edition of track reviews) this time accompanied by Swiftee. Oggie's catalogue of music just keeps improving and this one should do well over the summer months with all the bassline hype at the moment. It's great to hear more and more bassline tunes being made with catchy vocals and this ones exactly that. Expect the big names in the bassline scene to be caining this in the clubs and on the radio. For more information, check out
www.myspace.com/oggieuk

Chuwy Beats & Jay Harvey - Problems

This link up see's Chuwy Beats, the producers behind the massive garage remixes of 'Just A Little More Love' and 'Shes Like The Wind' amongst many many others, team up with one of the leading male vocalists within the UK Garage scene, Jay Harvey on this track entitled 'Problems'. A mellow bassline track, in comparison with alot of bassline that being produced at the moment, that accompanies Jay Harvey's vocal's very effectively. Another one that should do well in the coming months. For more information, check out:
www.myspace.com/jayharveyinfo

Kingring Corporation ft Sara J - 'Throw Your Fears Away' - Meat & Drink Remix

This track is one of the mixes featuring on 42TF recordings 1st release. Meat & Drink have engineered this electro meets bassline remix that will appeal to both fans of the electro & bassline genres equally. Very good mix to have on the release, currently being battered by a whole host of radio & club DJ's including 42TF and Freeze Fm's very own DJ Elski. There's no doubting it, this is a track that definitly needs to be in your record box, NO EXCUSES. For more information lock into the 'RadioKillaz' show on freeze 92.7 fm each and every wednesday, 10pm through to midnight. or alternatively check out:

Flo Rida - Low - Mark House Productions 4x4 Remix

Mark House Productions give the RnB 2008 anthem 'Low' by Flo Rida a 4x4 rework. Good Remix, one that can be dropped into a set that will catch the RnB fans attention. Nice bouncy beat than you bop your head to, guaranteed to get the club moving with this one. Would recomend playing this out when switching up the tempo and switching between genres to keep the crowds interest. Just one of a number of RnB remixes that Mark House Productions are currently working on, Also, all you Big Brother fans out there, get over to his myspace and check out the 2008 Bassline Big Brother Remix. More information over at:
www.myspace.com/mhpgarage

Elisabeth Troy & Ed Case - Past Love - Trak D Remix - M.I.Raw

An absolutly massive rework of the anthem 'Past Love' delivered by Trak D. A bassline banger that will get the crowd moving and is definitly one of the best bassline remixes ive heard in a while. Another great track being released by the M.I.Raw label, who keep coming up with the goods within the bassline genre at the moment. Check out:
www.myspace.com/miraw

DJ Pyper & Colour Girl - Joyrider - M.I.Raw

Again, as with the track above, this a great 2008 bassline remix of an original UK Garage classic. Joyrider gets a 2008 rework from DJ Pyper, who delivered the goods before with his 2008 remix of 'Genius Crew's - Boom Selection 2008' and has followed it up with another good quality remix that should appeal to both the bassline lovers, and the old school uk garage crowd. Tony Portelli's doing the bassline scene proud with his selection of bassline releases at the moment! For more information, again check out:

Mc Supplier gives Earth Wind and Fires classic 'Lets Groove' a cheeky remake, keeping with the original instrumental theme and chorus, whilst recording his own verses inbetween.

Duncan Powell Interview 004

Just Garage speaks to one of the best producers/remixers around at the moment, Duncan Powell.

1) How would you describe the uk garage scene at the moment?

You know what, you'll get a different answer on that one every time when you ask that question! right now, id'e say its going through bad times, things are very very slow. There's no focus, nothing to aim for, sales are at an all time low. Most people don't seem to want to pay for music. Is it all related to the credit crunch? maybe!

All I know is that musically, there's some great stuff being made, but hardly any of it is getting released. That's not a good stage to be at. Something needs to change, but I don't know what. Is making music free the way to go? maybe for the artists, but then it would kill off shops on the flip side. It all gets a bit too deep when you start thinking like that!

2) You've been largely involved in the uk garage scene for a long time now, how has garage music changed now from when you first broke into the scene?

I guess it has been a good few years now! I still feel relatively new to it! The actual music itself hasn't majorly changed. The only thing that's changed really is the quantity of music and the level of exposure/promotion. Since Karl left choice and Matt left kiss there was a massive downturn in enthusiasm for the producers I think, we are only left with EZ holding the flag on a legal station. Only 1 major outlet for tracks to be played and heard.

3) What's the next Duncan Powell Release going to be?

I'm not sure what will be next, I'm in talks with a few labels, but with the way releases are at the moment, I'm not sure what is round the corner!

4) Are there any collaborations forthcoming from yourself with any others producers or artists involved within the scene?

Me & Sol keep talking about making another collab, that one will happen for definite!

5) We've had so many top quality releases from yourself over the years, what's your personal favorite?

Firstly, thanks for the compliment! My favorite.... hmm, either "Funk Drop" on Solo, "Whenever" - the collab with Artifact, or "Highly Effective" on the MRP summer collections Ep

6) What's your all time favorite UKG tune?

I don't have one... I have about 300!! there have been so many great records and so many personal favorites.... if I had to pick one... Angie Stone - Life Story - Booker T Dub. Never get bored of playing it and it has so much energy!

7) What's happening with the Duncan Powell radio show at the moment?

Currently on Hiatus! I love doing radio and find that it gives you something to make new tracks for, however I needed my Sundays back! for 5 years, every Sunday was spent driving to and from radio, and bring based outside of London, that's a lot of motorway driving! Subjam was a 5 & 1/2 hour round trip for me and as much as I loved it, I needed an extended break so left in January this year. I am going to be back on a regular show again soon, details will announced shortly!

8) If you could personally change one thing about the uk garage scene, what would it be?

Id love for there to be a big enough market for the music that gets made to get the recognition it deserves. If we can get back to the days of selling 500-800 records that would be awesome.

9) Finally what's inspired you to start your own personal blog?

I'm a music fan/collector more than I am a dj/producer. I love music, and I'm constantly checking out new tracks. I want to share with friends and anyone else who cares the tracks/bands/remixes I discover along the way and hopefully increase exposure to them along the way. If one person likes a track they hear on my blog then goes and buys the album then it was worth while! I also will be able to look at the blog in a year or so's time and enjoy rediscovering forgotten music!

Just Garage would like to thank Duncan Powell for conducting this interview with us. For more information on Duncan Powell check out www.myspace.com/duncanpowell or alternatively check out his blog www.duncanpowell.blogspot.com Best Wishes with future releases to Duncan Powell

MC Supplier Interview 003

Just Garage speaks to True Fm's Mc Supplier, the man behind events such as Pure Temptation, Nookie, So True and Raunchy.

1) How would you describe the garage scene at the moment?

It's far from how it used to be although right now things are looking bright. I feel a new Garage craze is begining again, so fingers crossed for this time next year, or maybe even later this year!

2) Is there still a big following for the garage sound at the events your putting on?

Unfortunatly the answer to that is probably no not really, it seems to be mainly all the commercial house stuff really! Although any big Garage tune of now days standerdly gets played and goes down a storm, but there's just not simply enough good, big garage club smashers getting made now days, Therefore if you cant stand to listen to any more old skool everytime you go out and want to hear something new then seven times out of ten it's along the house/electro road. Not an ideal situation for our scene i know!!!

3) Whats it like working with one of the original pioneers of the garage sound DJ Luck?

Ever since 'Raise it up' a couple years back we've become good friends from travelling to perform all over the world together. So now when we go in the studio it's alot more relaxed and more fun. I always like to work with Luck as commercially, in our scene him and Neat have probably had some of the biggest success and he's got some great idea's on what will work and what can potensionally turn into a hit!

4) Is there an official release date yet for the DONT GIVE A LUCK tune?

No not at the moment, it's only us 2 playing it, we havent given it to anyone yet. The idea is to make it as big as possible over the summer at all the holiday destinations and then see what happens from there!

5) Aside from DJ LUCK, are you working with any one else in the near future?

Yeah i have a few projects i'm working on. Firstly with the lady of the moment Lauren Mason, got something coming with me and Kenzie from Celebrity big Brother, and also a tune with my sister Faith. Sticky has also just done a mix of 'Baby Boy' a tune i've done with True fm's Nikki S & Nyke!

6) You recently done an event at the carling academy, with an all drum and bass line up, are there any plans for a 100% garage event in the near future?

I love all genders of dance music and i come from the garage scene, so yes if i feel the situation arises and i have that oppertunity in front of me and a club that will actually allow it then yes, defo!

7) Whats your PERSONAL preferences:

House or Garage? Both

Both 2step and 4x4 or Bassline? 2step really, i'm not massively into the bassline thing at the moment.

8) Which radio sets do you try and lock into on a regular basis?

I am so so busy and my life has absolutly no routine or regular sleep pattern, so i only ever get to hear who ever is on at the time!

9) Which djs, mc, producers and artists in your opinion are smashing the circuit at the minute?

Dj's: any one from True 100.2fm.
Producers: Luck, Danny Dubbz, Danny C,
Artists: Lauren Mason is the girl of the moment! 2Ton, Nikki S & Nyke, Darren Martin

10) What made you want to get into the world of dj'in, mc'in, promoting, radio etc?

Thats the easiest question so far - I LOVE MUSIC!

11) What advice can you give to anyone whose looking to follow a similar path in life?

If you are prepared to work your arse off then you can achieve anything!

Just Garage would like to thank Mc Supplier for taking time out to conduct this interview. Good luck with future projects! Check out www.myspace.com/mcsupplier for more information or keep it locked to www.truefm.net every wednesday and friday between the hours of 2pm & 6pm.
