Every time I look at the title of this blog, my mind flies back to the heady days of 2007; the year when electro first exploded into the mainstream, propelled forward on a wave of stomping house beats spliced with synth-rock and electroclash sensibilities. I remember thinking at the time how amazing it was that [...]
Is wicked… instead of filling it full of exclusives/own productions like so many other producers do, Toddla has packed the 2 hours with the tracks he grew up with; if you’re looking for amazing mixing go somewhere else, but if you can look past a bit of chop/changing their is a hugely entertaining selection of [...]
