Deejay Punk Roc - My Beatbox

Just came across these jems while searching the net. F.U.N.K.Y!!!

Maxxi Soundsystem

Just found about this guy heard some great music of the deep and funky house types. Here's a short bio from his page and then we'll dive into the disco!

Before the runaway success of club hit ‘Criticize’ which exploded everywhere at the beginning of the year from Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show to being featured on Beats in Space Best of 2010 Sam Watts had been DJing, putting on parties and working hard in his studio for a number of years in his home town of Brighton. 

Locally Sam is known more for the schtumm! parties which he runs with long time friend and DJ partner Neal Lewis which have brought many exciting acts (often for their debut show) to Brighton over the years, from Radio Slave to mulletover and Tensnake to the Idjut Boys. 

Club nights aside his studio work began more intensely when working with Thomas Gandey in Cagedbaby, which he toured with playing live in 2008 and co-write a live version of the tour which performed several shows across the globe including Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Barcelona, Rockness, Glastonbury and the O2 Festival in Hyde Park. Sam & Tom regularly still work together. 

With a strong drive to be creative and improve on each project Sam has been putting long hard hours in his studio this year and already remixed Wax Motif & Neoteric, Hercules & Love Affair, The 2 Bears and Retro/Grade. As a follow up to Criticize, Maxxi Soundsystem has been signed to Nervous Records new imprint Nürvous which is dedicated to the sounds of old house music (EP out this summer). Currently working with Miami man of the moment Danny Daze on new material and London vocalist Royston there’s some really exciting new music about to drop. 

Catch Maxxi Soundsystem playing live in 2011 with shows including Glastonbury, Glade, Disco Bloodbath, Ministry Of Sound, Garden Festival Croatia, We Love… @ Space Ibiza and Creamfields; proving he can rock any dancefloor that’s put in front of him; playing a set made up of his own edits and remixes plus music plucked from his 8 years experience playing in clubs

Here's his latest release with all 3 going down well in my books. Be sure to pick them up at Beatport if they make you dance :)

It's on vinyl too (which is awesome!) at Juno


Here's a freebie that's quite groovy and it's a high quality Aiff file.

Nu disco has had a special place in my heart and playlists lately and here's a good reason why. I just came across Jonas on SoundCloud while browsing the page for the label he manages, French Express. These two are uplifting good times on soundwaves...

Plump DJs

The Plumps come back in true breakbeat fashion with this 808 bomb of a track! I remember they played this when they were here in Orlando and the place went off! It'll be sure to do the same at any party you drop this at. DO YOU LIKE BASS?!?!?

Back to Basics

It's been too long since my last post, but sometimes life takes you in directions you don't expect and everything must be put on hold. But alas, I'm back with some great music that I've been jamming to!

Here are some quality funky breaks bangers by Cut La Roc!


















Here is an amazing song produced by Shy FX for  Yasmin!  This is slated to be released on January 15th , 2012 so mark your calenders! The original is of a purely amentastic nu jungle flavor while the equally superb remix by MJ Cole puts it on the 2 step tip. Great arsenal to have in your bag for any party :)
