Little Jinder- Keep on dreaming + Remixes from Starkey, Distal, Deadboy and Graham Bond

The Swedish songbird Little Jinder returns after here amazing single 'Without You' (with production from Trouble and Bass boss Drop the Lime). 'Keep on dreaming' has a distinctly post dub-step vibe combining the singers amazing voice with a bass driven pop beat.  As if this wasn't enough the track has been remixed four times to tempt the pallet of  different musical tastes across the spectrum of electronic music. Starkey offers up his dirty dubstep version full of hard hitting bass, not to everyone's taste but then not a lot of so called 'dubstep' is these days. Distal went for the other remix route creating something very different from the original, only taking a section from the vocal and using it like another instrument in his house production.  The best offerings have to come from Deadboy and Graham Bond. Deadboy places his 2step stamp on the piece with a grime style structure through his use of claps and bass line which contrasts against an addictive violin melody and sensual piano build-ups.  Finally there is Graham Bond's house remix which takes influence from a variety of genres.  After the initial build up a selection of sexy 808s are introduced not long after the tune transforms as a sampled drum break enters and is quickly joined by a jungle style bass line.  Love the way this one cuts to a raw vocal and single instrument then morphs into a different style.

Magnum- All Over Me EP


"After the widespread success of PNTS001 (Visionistʼs ʻMr. 67ʼ), the South London based imprint returns with another hard hitter in Magnumʼs ʻAll Over Me E.P.ʼ Fresh from recent moves on Nightshifters, Gradient Audio, Soukouch Ethnik and Inhale including a remix of Canblaster, the Puerto Rican producer has quickly built up much notoriety in his home country and is beginning to develop a following in the UK with numerous plays from Rinse FMʼs Scratcha DVA and Randomer. 
The title track of this latest excursion is as much a robust 808/909 dance floor mover as it is an all out, arms in the air, hairs on the back of your neck serotonin overload. Its winding arpeggiated synths, lush pads, and tear-jerking vocals show Magnum to be an artist of meticulous attention to detail. On the b-side, ʻDenseʼ is a straight up banger. Crafty bass deployment, rustic synth chords and informed jungle referencing all contribute to what has got to be one of the hardest hitting tracks this winter. Also on the b is the French Fries remix of ʻDenseʼ. As we all know anything the Parisian touches turns to gold and this is no exception. Taking Magnumʼs original concept and stripping it back he adds a touch of grime into the melting pot, à la Slimzee sets circa 2001, and deals with the low end as only one of the finest bass operators would."
