Bout time i finished up the post on these dudes. They’re doing some crazy shit lately – actually for a while – but they’ve been much more active on my radar since Nadastrom were here and they played us some rad Starks & Nacey tunes.

If you don’t already know, Steve Starks and Nacey’s background lies in Washington DC. They’re both part of the Nouveau Riche parties (with Gavin Holland) which i’ve only been hearing and reading good things about. They’ve got a bunch of tracks floating around the interwebs, and have had a couple of releases (solo and together) on that bit of hot, T&A Records.

Basically i’m just gonna throw up 6 (yeah i know, it was too hard to narrow em down) of my favourite tracks that they’ve given us.

Nacey – Six Million
This tune is just straight fun, like too much fun! I’m in bed writing this but as i listen i wanna jump up and have a pillow fight with a pack of girls in bonds…

Steve Starks – You Don’t Want None
Ultimate ghetto synth classic in this one. The classic Hip Hop/Dance hybrid that we’re all about at Scattermusic. HYPE.

Armand Van Helden – Witch Doktor (Steve Starks Remix)
A bit bmoreish in sound, but tuff not cheesy. The big bass and horns in this make guaranteed big room hit.

Old Money – Buena Mah Muvu (Starks & Nacey Remix)
Doooope modern club Hip Hop jam here. Great movement and drums, with a smooth arse original vocal.

Radioslave, Dubfire – Grindhouse (Steve Starks Bootleg)
I love how deep the original Dubfire remix is of this, I still play it. But Starks completely flips the song on it’s head. Still big and dirty but with a completely new sound and tune.

Starks & Nacey – Summer Madness
I dig this tune purely for it’s change-up at 2:15 – real summer vibes.

Tips:
Keep an eye out for their ultra remix of Rampage & Nader – track 3 in this mix.
Grab their TRO/Lydia EP and Starks’ Git Em EP (previewed below), all on T&A.
Watch this space for more Starks & Nacey!!!

SHARKSLAYER – SWAMP DUBS VOL. 1 by SHARKSLAYER

It was really not all that long ago that i was speaking to Munchi about the idea of a Moombahton compilation. It actually feels like only yesterday, because all of a sudden here is a giant Moombah compilation of past and present gems from the big and quickly emerging names in the still incredibly small Moombahton community.

It was originally gonna be a release through Scattermusic, but obviously with all the big samples and copyright issues that would have followed, it was a bit hard.

It’s hard to pick out a few as my favourite – i’m definitely into the original productions thought – apart from the fact that they’re good, they also really push the sound forward into making it more it’s own thing. I do have to say that the Munchi originals are constantly getting my attention. His production is so upfront and original and from what i’ve found by playing it, it always gets dancefloors going spastic.

P.S. be on the look out for a FULL LENGTH album release of awesome Munchi Productions out later in the year. Seriously, he’s amazing me at the moment.

Did everyone know that we created a Moombahton Soundcloud group?? More and more tracks keep going up there. So please join and help it expand. It’s becoming a really good access point to listen to new Moombahton…
Moombahton

These tracks went down real hard in the club the other night. It was actually one of those nights filled with a bunch of exclusives and unfinished demos from us and other soon-to-be-released people from the label that went down like wild fire. We got excited (lewis got real excited, i got footage to prove) the crowd got excited and it was all fun.

Both of these were originally made as edits for our club sets, but seem to have gotten a bunch of attention and requests from people to get em so we thought it was time to throw em out for free.

First off is Lewis CanCut’s fucken hot horn tune. Filled with his trademark percussion and stabs, it screws and bends a horn hook while referencing notes reminiscent a “Spraycan”. This one is like my favourite tune at the moment, i’m playing it every set and it comes highly recommended.
Oh and it’s a riddim/redo of his original remix of Harmon ft The Psyde Projects which can be bought @ Beatport.

Lewis CanCut – Sip Sip Riddim

The other one is my do of “Push It“, which i chucked up on soundcloud recently and watched it get a thousand plays in a couple of days- so thought it needed a post. I had the idea for the mix for a bit… Basically i just redid the main hook with a big 808 kick, rearranged the song to make it more current and cut up a vocal snippet to make a sorta synth line. It fits perfectly into my sets and i’ve found a bunch of ways to mix it which are fun – notably with that Dubbel Dutch remix of “Pimp Jackson” and with the new Zinc heater, “Nexx”.

Salt n’ Pepa – Push It (Scattermish Remix)

When Kingdom played with us early in the year, his set managed to resonate with each Scatterblogger for a long while after. Every now and again a sound or an artist comes along and slaps everyone in the face and gets us all rethinking what we’re into.

Kingdoms sound was in some way deep and atmospheric, musical and cluby. It filled the room with huge bass, endless reverbs and rumbling drums… I know Kingdom has been getting a lot of hype as of late, but i never truly believed it until i heard it live. When you hear a set of his through headphones or a home system it’s really hard to translate the impact that it has on giant subs and an array of speakers, but it’s definitely worth a shot. Play it big and loud and bug out.

This set was recorded live when Kingdom did a show with those rad kids, Get Wavey.

Chico Ye is the name of a new standout artist that we’re really excited to release. If his stellar remix of Lewis CanCut’s “Get Low” ain’t enuf to convince you, then this post surely will.

Situated in Mexico (SCATTERMUSIC LOVES MEXICO! we need t-shirts i think) his style is tirelessly playful and infectious. I can only begin to imagine the energy that would flood through a giant underground desert/bush rave with his tunes blasting out a massive sound system.

His genre’s range from Tribal to Reggaeton (mmm “Rayo Lazer”) and a whole lotta something else in between.
We’ve got one tune to post for now, but expect his release out in the coming months.

Chico Ye – Tu Ku Tu (Feat. Mc Malquino)

I felt it just wouldn’t do justice to post one tune, so here’s everything in Chico Ye’s Soundcloud. A whole lotta originals and a couple of dope recent mixes that are a great listen. STAY TUNED!!!

I made this lil edit of Salt n Pepa’s infamous, remixed a million times (yeah i know), played a billion times hit, “Push It”. Just really for a bit of fun to play out. I’ve essentially replayed the main hook with a kick drum, and then cut up some vox here and there…

I chucked it up on my soundcloud, then all of a sudden it had 1000 plays. So i might get it mastered then chuck it round blogs, for now:

At the inner core of Scattermusic is Lewis CanCut with his clean cut, calipo / splice nature. Always perverting club tropical beats, layering bass like cake, flipping a sound library into a deep carnival crumpet. A flanged horn forms raspberry kisses, and a punch and kick resemble the crowd participation at the West Indian 2010 20/20 Cricket Finals. LCC is Melbourne’s Pizza slice of Cumbia’s and Carioca. His gumbo is titled Neon Saxophone. The fiesta can he heard in Get Low and Can of Drink both preaching club tropical, and the now revered Cumbia Theme adds to this chapter via respect to a traditional Cumbia rhythm. The whole project then gets a remix treatment via a huge Latin connection. Chico Ye gets Mexican and puts the tribal club touch to Get Low, the Netherland’s Sonido Del Principe drops cumbia club tropix over Can Of Drink, and Scattermusic newbie’s Cumbia Cosmonauts re-shake Cumbia Theme, knowing its full heritage, then sending it to Alpha Centauri. The package is 100% tempos for a tropical throw down, and is the essential club package from LCC and his cohorts.

Scattermusic is proud to announce the label’s fourth official release, ‘The Calling’ by Melbourne based producer Lucid. It’s a solid package of three original tracks and not a single remix to dilute the charisma and raw energy of Lucid’s tunes. Tough dark spaces bound together with relentless marching snares and fragmented vocal shouts that make for an unrivaled hype-soaked sound. As warped and bubbling Dutch house meets landscapes reminiscent of Detroit’s golden era of techno, ‘The Calling’ is the perfect record for a packed nightclub at 4am.

Grab every tune for free!!! To give us some monetary support please buy the release on Juno and iTunes.
