I thought it was time some of the girls started getting some eye candy too.
I gave you a semi-clad and angelic Bob Sinclar a little while back and so here’s another very pretty boy,DAVID STARFIRE! But the guys we post ain’t just pretty, they’re seriously talented too. [And don’t worry my posts are not gonna descend into some cheesy flesh-fest…now that’s a good idea for a post..lol…Flesh-Fest).
Aside from being photogenic, Starfire recently released a new album called Bollyhood Bass and you check the feature we ran on it last week HERE. It came with a free download track from the new album and also an awesome remix of my favourite song by my favourite band, Zeppelin’s Kashmir.
Starfire told me recently that he’s been following and loving our blog for quite a little while now. Man that always surprises me when I hear that cause I always still imagine there’s like 5-10 people dotted around the world, friends and relatives, regularly tuning into our blog at least 2000 times a day….lol.
Anyway, STARFIRE also sent me a bunch of great new tunes/remixes that he’s done which I can offer to you for free download.
This guy truly embodies the Transnational Generation Bass mentality as his influences and love for music is far and wide soaking in everything from Indian and Arabic dance grooves through to Indie-Rock. So he’s very versatile and you can tell that he just loves music!!!
He has also “unofficially” remixed M.I.A, Radiohead, The Smiths and two of the greatest bands ever, LED ZEPPELIN & THE BEATLES.
So here’s a kind of STARFIRE RETROSPECTIVE to bring you bang up to date with his past and present movements and to showcase what a great talent he is. That, he’s not just a pretty boy

4. SAN FRAN’S DUBSTEP PRINCE : DUB GABRIEL/DESTROY ALL CONCEPTS
PROLOGUE
Like Art, Dubstep can destroy most concepts.
It’s flexible, continually re-inventing itself and mating like rabbits do when it comes to creating new sub-genres. At present it seems to be entering new phases and winning many new fans and it is still interesting me in a big way unlike most other genres save for Cumbia and Barefoot.
Anyway, we have a number of great & different things for you tonight with FUTURE DUBSTEP ROYALTY in da house and we’ll start with some seriously ultra-hot, NHERTZ.
This dude from Torino, Italy is a natural born dubstepper and the righful heir to Italy’s Dubstep Princedom!
He’s only started experimenting with dubstep recently and man he’s BLOWN ME AWAY with his shit!
If you recall I stuck a Dubstep version of a very famous GREEK POP track on my PopSTeP DuB SymPHoNy mixtape and it was this dude’s first ever dubstep track!!!!…Wow man, what a way to start!
His next dubstep production does not dissappoint either, man it’s RAW and of the HOTTEST tracks of this year!
Check this dude out and remember & tell EVERYONE where you heard about him first!
I told you about this young Brummy kid, CORKZ, a few weeks back and I’m happy to report, the kid ain’t letting me down. He’s only 16, has only been producing for a few months and I think in a couple of years time, this kid is gonna teach Rusko and the Skreams of this world something they don’t know. I hope it happens!!!
So here’s a few tracks you can download to hear a young wannabe sowing the seeds for his future greatness in a few years time. Faces Of War by Corkz
One of my favourite Indian Dubstep bands of last year, DEAF BASS TWINS, are sadly no more
However, Piyush a.ka. Sound Avtar, one half of the now defunkt DBT, is carrying on producing some of his hotness and here’s a new REMIX and also a DJ MIX to leave you salivating at the mouth for more from him this year:
1. Massive Music – Find my Way ( Kode 9 remix )
2. Fat Freddy’s Dropp – Cay’s Crays ( Digital Mystiks Remix )
3. Von D feat. Phe Phe – Show Me
4. Mala – Miracles w/That Girl Acapella
5. L-Wiz – Girl from Codeine City w/That Girl Acapella
6. Dj Semi – Love Ya
7. Amadou et Mariam – Sabali ( Uproot Andy Remix )
8. Zomby – Float
9. D1 – Give it Back
10. Damas Gratis feat. Romina Lescano – Que Bello ( live )
11. Richie Spice & Alison Hinds – King and Queen
12. Saian Supa Crew – Soldat 2
13. Alex Pasternak – Pajariton
14. Ghislain Poirier – La Ronde
15. Moderat – A New Error
Here’s my second most played mix in 2009and I must admit when DJ Alta Joya of Cooliado sent it to me saying that I was the big inspiration behind it (..lol….), I was stoked and felt very honoured.
However, I was not expecting muchfrom it other than thinking it was going to be an ok mix like some of her other mixes.
No, don’t get me wrong, I think this girl has EXCEPTIONAL taste, but often, albeit the tracks on her mixes are great, the flow has not always been my cuppa.
But on this one she got it 100% RIGHT……
I did not listen to it or stick it up here because she said I inspired it. Seriously, I didn’t. I stuck it up because it deserves to be here because I played the shit out of it.
What I love about this mix, is that I can feel her pain, a sense of melancholy, unrequited love, a longing and a sadness. But also I can hear her hope and wishes for a positive future.
Vic is always full of enthusiasm and is hardly ever negative and man she’s got BALLS!!!
High points for me include when “and how” the Amamdou & Mariam track kicks in, just pure bliss man. Also when the LIVE Damas Gratis track unexpectedly kicks in, you feel as though you are in the audience singing along and can feel the sheer energy of that live performance.
Yes there are flaws but they’re beautiful and delicate flaws, which you hardly notice because the music is so gorgeous.
This guy, FLECK, is going to be doing some amazing DUBSTEP stuff in 2010, he’s going to be one of the ones to watch, I think.
This mix is just brilliant to listen to and that’s what I love about mixes, their listen-ability.
Ok, it’s all good doing great club mixes but they’re not really the ones I go back to time and time again cause half of the time the “listen-ability” factor has gone and unless you’re in a club, the mix ain’t saying anything unless its taking you on some kind of journey.
This is made up of all of his own compositions and man I can’t wait to get my hands on some of the tracks I don’t have
4. SOUNDGOODS – TRIBAL GUARACHERO
This, because I just love the percussion that permeates throughout the mix. Yes, it does sound all a bit samey but man the groove is hypnotic and I always feel like getting up to dance to this even though I’m a shit dancer…lol..
01. Danza Azteca
02. La Culebrita
03. DJ Retro – Babaninko
04. Chango
05. El Ballo

08. DJ Gato – Topota Madre
09. Danza
10. Damas Gratis – Se Te Ve La Tanga
11. A Ritmo De Los Manos
12. Cumbia Tribal
13. Vamos A Bailar
14. Vive La Fiesta
15. Prehispanik
16. DJ Sobrino – Automation
17. Oaxaqueño
5. SOLO – FABRIC MIX JUNE 2009
This mix because:
1. It probably paved the way for the “re-emergence” of the whole Tropical House movement in 2009.
2. It’s inventive and technically perfect.
3. Flow is cool and selection of tracks, delicious.
“Re-emeregnce”- He did not invent it, it was an extension of the Global Tech House grooves already here but sadly overlooked but to his credit, he helped to open up people’s eyes to it and make it HYPER-HIP!!
Solo did big things in 2009 but is he a 1 trick pony? We’ll find out this year, I don’t think he is but the proof is in the pudding!
Whatever…… this mix is great and one of a very few club mixes that I’m always happy to play again and again.

This one by our homie Pancho is up here because the FLOW is serious……
It’s a bangin’ mix only lastin’ 13 minutes but it’s a powerful, testosterone filled, floor fillin’, cumbia booty grabbin with an 80’s electro-tinged finale mix!
He did say he was going to do one every month but man dunno what happened to that, shame it never happened cause this I just LOVE!!!
Tracklist:
Panchitron-Quiero Que Sepas XxX
Toy Selectah-BKLYN Raverton Break
Sonido del Principe vs Josefa
Sonido del Principe-Horario de Verano
DJ DUS- Daft-Cumbia (Robot Rock)
Must be thinkin’ how can the vain twat include one of his own mixes…lol…don’t blame you, I’d be thinking the same if it was somebody else.
This is here though more so for the Sonido Del Principe material which can be hard to find online even though it’s always free but there’s no one place where you can go to hear it.
This one also because it displays the more atmospheric and sensitive side to SDP’s music which rarely ever features on his own or other mixes which contain his tracks.
So this one really is more for the music it contains as opposed to the mix or the guy who mixed it!!!!
I hope you fuckin’ believe me!!!..lol
8. SCHLACHTHOFBRONX MINI MIX
Well, they released one of my favourite albums of 2009, a modern GLOBAL GHETTOTECH classic, in fact the best ever Global Ghettotech album PERIOD!!!
They beat Diplo at his own game, IMHO….lol
They also dropped this mini-mix, as an appetizer to their EPrelease of “Belly Full Of Pills”.
They prepared a little mix of tracks from that EP, including some exclusive Bavarian bounce material.
Man, it was BRILLIANT then and it is still BRILLIANT now….
These guys are going to go on to MASSIVE & MAJOR things in 2010, don’t be surprised if they end up producing MEGA STARS….it just has to happen!!
As they said in their own words, “PREPARE FOR THE SIRENS”!!!!
I think we were one of the first to grab this from the CROOKERS BLOG and they posted it in top secrecy pretending they did not know who the artist behind it was…..lol
This is what Crookers said:
Check this very last mix by the Devil himself, little is known about his musical background and future releases, but we’ll keep you updated…
However, I can find out almost anything…lol….and as this mix “interested” me, within a matter of a couple of hours I had it sussed and revealed to all the world that it was MIXHELL!!!
What makes this mix is the INTRO and that’s it I’m afraid, the rest of it just does not live up to the first 5 minutes!!! I don’t know if that’s because the beginning is so POWERFUL & ORIGINAL or just because the rest of it does not really tie in that well with the beginning. Saying that, the further dialogue moments later on in the mix are also immense!!!
Lastly but not least, this mix by Ku Bo a.k.a STEREOTYP, creator of Barefoot!
Ku Bo’s album comes out on Man Recordings in or about April/May 2010 but I’ve been very, very lucky to be given a copy by Ku Bo himself, top secret and under HEAVY, HEAVY security, so much so that I have not even let my homie Vince have a listen to it…lol…
It already is one of my favourite albums of 2010, hands down, I’m absolutely 100% sure about that!!!
This mix is just SUBLIME and how on earth Mr Jazz-Pants Peterson got there ahead of us lot, I’ll never know…lol…only kiddin’..of course Gilles is a legend…in some quarters…not in mine…but man he deserves and is entitled to BIG RESPECT!
Watch out for Ku Bo cause this is GONNA BE BIGNESS and that’s UNDERSTATING IT TOO!!!!
12. Rob Pollinate Mix
Here’s what I said about this one earlier in the year:
Mixes that really stand out for me is when there’s an element of creativity in the mix and the sound is quite different, unique or distinctive.
Was sent this mix by a guy called ROB POLLINATE via Facebook and did not know what to expect and started listening. Really, really liked what I was hearing. Cross-Pollinate cause he has done just that with many different genres, style and mood!
I think this is a great mix and one that I’ll come back to time and time again. Here’s what the main dude said about it:
Made this today in the Sun, with a hangover and my cat. I enjoyed it a lot, as did they. There are too many amazing tracks here and also a few of my new tunes.
Skee-Lo – I Wish [Squared Evening Edit]
Cecile – New Year New Love

I random listen to mainstream artists, i do tho..sometimes i perceive POP as my nemesis, specially when an artist promotes herself with a slogan “Buy anything with my name on it.” ….. well that’s the approach Amanda Blank has taken..she is a member of a loose collective of musicians that includes Spank Rock, Santigold, and Diplo!!
And because Downtown music made a clever contest and tons of talented guys jumped on board and made a remix of her song might like you better...i knew about her.
EVEN Sabbo!!! our dear friend; made a wicked remix!!!
It made me ask.. are we (Mad decent, GB, Bootlegumachine, etc..)Blogs starting (slowly and unconsciously) the newest trends of POP/Mainstream?
by using breakbeat, barefoot, dubstep and all sorta stuff we love..
IF that’s the case… THAT’S JUST EPIC!!!!! Post dancehall era is getting better!!!! and more mainstream!!!..
SEAN PAUL’s she want me sounds totally barefoot/breakbeat to me
We’re getting a great response and much love from all over the planet!! And There’s gonna be some good stuff we’ll miss in these MUSICA DONUM DEI (Music Gift of God) posts, but what we post is EPIC STUFF!!!
Some of the coolest discoveries i did on GB was ADDIQUIT (the next M.I.A?)
Addiquit is an American rapper, singer and songwriter who performs as a solo MC. While you can hear the influence of hip-hop, the style seems to be emerging with something so fresh its indefinable. She’s a sharp, lyrical vandal with an airy voice and street-smart beats. She collaborates with several indie-producers who appear on her first official release, a 13-song album out Oct 13th, 2009. Reviews of her music promise versatility as they compare her to M.I.A., Lil’ Kim, Cat Power and Lauryn Hill.
Download her free mixtape titled Scarecrow N Criminal and order a copy of her self-titled debut on the Internet.
and this is part of her newest Album Bang by ADDIQUIT
