Xmas in Oz: NAPT and Elite Force on Triple J

So while we're looking out the window stuffing ourselves with leftover turkey and getting ready for New Year, a dream team of UK producers are going to be rocking it down-under. Just checkout the lineup above.

The Aussies have great taste in dance music and to celebrate the occasion Australia's Triple J radio have comissioned exclusve mixes from NAPT and Elite Force. Both acts have been responsible for some of my favourite tracks this year and will be well worth keeping an eye out for in 2010!

Rektchordz: November mixtape + U&A recordings

Still on the tech-funk vibe at the moment. Been really digging a few tunes by Rektchordz, a guy from Cornwall by the name of Jamie Smithson who makes some pretty tasty tech funk breaks and techno. In particular really loving Meat Katie's remix of 'These Girls' and Elite Force's rework of 'Feed Your Head', both on Elite Force's record label U&A.

For a flavour of Rektchordz DJ sets, listen to his November promo on his Soundcloud page below, or download it from the link below that!

MaryMissFairy: Wonk This Way

It's quite a statement, but... MaryMissFairy (Mary Reilly) is probably my favourite DJ of 2009. Not including her vocal duties on Nagual Sound Experiment's 2007 psychedelic dubstep track Hexorcism,I first heard her quaking the top room at Alpha Omega in April, first met her in May and was last blown away by her set in tiny room at Wonkay Records' Turned Toon in October.

Why does she qualify for this staus? Well, she seems to be mining a stream of sound that I've been slowly gravitating towards for the last year or so. A crunchy, techy blend of techno,progressive house, electro and breaks being led by Tom Real and Rouge Element (Disco of Doom), Atomic Drop, Meat Katie, Elite Force and some releases on Tribal Vision. She's also introduced me to the amazing dirtyloud and Felguk.... all of whom are present and correct in her fresh Wonk This Way mix below.

Mary's just set up her Soundcloud page, so you can also grab Miss Scarlet in the Library with the lead pipe and keep up to date with future mixes. She has also recently been made a label DJ for Wonkay Records, in charge of the A&R for electro and techno, and will be compiling a compilation due for release 2010 - can't wait!

Meat Katie live from Rock Bottom

So, now everyone's back from Buring Man the mixes are coming out. This is an absolute gem from the UK's Meat Katie (aka. Mark Pember) who appears to have rocked the Opulent Temple Porn Palace with Elite Force. Since conquering the world with his rolling, deep and heavy breaks as the scene exploded at the beginning of the decade, he's now following a similar trajectory to Tom Real (Disco of Doom) and bringing in more disco/electro/tech sounds to the mix. It's sounding pretty sweet!
