I recently read that 'fidget house' is becoming the new 'funky house'...it certainly feels like that sometimes. The big, cheap shot basslines and the over the top predictable/unpredictable build ups are proving to be a tad un-inspiring. Its cool to see the new wave of fidget creators taking the best parts of the sound and mixing it with other bits and pieces, artists like Mowgli, Clark Able, The Bulgarian and The Bald and the Beautiful are all mixing in house, garage and minimal to great effect. Listening to the latters productions make me happy in the thought that people are still spending time and effort making music, I gather the guys are friends with King Claude and do some parties on the West Coast? Whos to say? Just check out 'The Bacon Chambers'on their myspace and this one below to confirm their status as 'one to watch'

Jahcoozi - Double Barrel Name (The Bald and The Beautiful Remix)

Parisian socialite and all round good looking dude Shino hooked us up with his version of that 20 Fingers classic 'Short Dick Man', love it or loathe it, the original gets people dancing and smiling quickfast. Shino has updated the track with crunk synths and half time beats...sure to get the popozudas moving.

Shino - Short Dick Man

and heres the (censored) video for the original...

We recently played after our favourites the Crookers at Magic Circle, their new stuff is sounding absolutley crazy....more techno-y, more house-y, more hypnotic-y, just really fucking rad-y (keep em peeled for hot exclusives right here). Phra introduced me to this dude Clark Able, and we since pestered him for a track or two. Lemonhead comes on like 'Flat Eric's' mature, jacking older brother...big bassline, cut-up vocals and non-stop beats. This is perfect for a 3am slot in some warehouse. Stoops.

Clark Able - Lemonhead

Oh and while we are on the subject of really talented fidget producers...The Bulgarian shows no sign of letting up. He hit us up with 'Into The Groove', a sort of fidget meets acid experiment. Starts off all bleepy and stuttered and then blasts into heavy bass territory. Be sure to keep an eye out for The Bulgarian's EP out soon on On The Brink Records, I've heard it and it's well worth buying, homeboy hits our soil in August this year, be on the look out.

The Bulgarian - Into The Groove

Fidget House main man The Bulgarian sent us some new material. Loop Poop is a twisted maze of a track, harking back to the ol' Detroit Classic days, Over The Wall takes more of a relaxed disco angle, taking in Padded Cell like basslines and sweeping disco strings...something we weren't really expecting from our saffa bru, but it works really well and provides a nice opposite to the banging house music everywhere.

Speaking of 'banging house music everywhere'...just wait til you hear The Bulgarian's 'The Other Door', I haven't been this excited since Dave Taylor met P. Diddy.......you just aren't ready. Trust me. You. Just. Aren't. Ready


The Bulgarian - Loop Poop


The Bulgarian - Over The Wall

So it turns out one of new fidget heroes Crookers is also one of Milano's most very famousist writers of all time, somebody I remember checking out in graff mags AGES ago. We were going to do another straight Top Ten with our Italian boys, but everyman and his dog are on it.....so we went for a Top Ten graffiti writers. Get your weight up.....

So first we get all damp about Sweat.X...then another South African pops up with more hot music. The Bulgarian blames the hot weather (apparently they cant help but make 'hot shit'). The Bulgarian first came to attention with a crazy cool mix on Slutty Fringe, we were impressed and got in contact. He very kindly put this up for grabs. Show some love dudes.

The Bulgarian - Listen Man

LIKE.A.RASH.....SWEAT.X are the future. Riding along the same ilk as Spank Rock and Yo Majesty, SWEAT.X hail from South Africa. One MC and one DJ/Producer MARKUS WORMSTORM and KOOL DISKO OKAPI make fucked up club music. Ones to watch for the future...shame they're all the way over in Saf Afrikar innit.

This year sees these dudes explode. Trust us.

Having just won $10.000 worth of equipment in some American competition and touring with Gutter Broadcast favourite 'Curtis Vodka' they are onto big things. Catch a 12" out from them next year on 'Nine 2 Five' Recordings.

They have also just released a mix to get you wet. Cop dat.

wow

The amount of club dances up on You Tube at the moment is crazy.....you got the 'wu-tang', the 'matrix', the 'one leg up' and now the 'thizz'....

we're working on the 'zombie'.....

That dude right there....thats Edu K, cold flossing in '84 with his band. Nowadays he can be found making the hottest carioca with Daniel Haaksman of Man Recordings. Edu and Daniel put on a crazy set at Rio Rox the other week...highlights include a friend of a friend getting attacked by Edu K's hot, sweaty, hairy armpit during 'Popozuda'. Oh my days.

Edu K - Sex 0 Matic (Bonde Do Role Remix)
