Disco of Doom
By Urchins | August 23, 2010
Disco of Doom are one of the hottest production duos to emerge in the past 12 months – with a couple of huge EP’s (including ‘The Click’) already having attracted the attention of a wide range of DJs; from Pete Tong to Ettiene De Crecy through Fake Blood and a host more in between. Today marks the release of ‘Engine’ EP on Gung Ho Records – a two track stomper that won’t sound out of place in some of the biggest rooms in the world – ‘Sex Face’ is our personal favourite and has been going down a storm recently, so we asked them to put together a mixtape especially for you – check it out!

After Dark / Sexy Dancing
By Urchins | August 20, 2010
So this week marks the first release from Count & Sinden‘s forthcoming album Mega Mega Mega; and they couldn’t really have picked a better track to start with. ‘After Dark’ has been all over the radio waves in recent weeks; its not every day that an afro-beat, bongo laden backing track with the irrepressibly catchy vocals of Mystery Jets gets mainstream attention, and the signs are good that we’re going to get plenty more crossover hits from the album we’ve been waiting on forever! To celebrate the release, Josh is giving away a track from another of his (732) aliases – Voodoo Chili. Grab it and cling on to summer for a few more days (minutes), then check out ‘After Dark’ and if you like, go support it and help push it into the charts! With people like Katy B, Magnetic Man and Riva Starr pushing into the top 40, this is a really exciting time for electronic music in the UK, and long may it continue.

Nock Nock? Who’s There…
By Urchins | July 5, 2010
Today we got sent a mixtape that deserved a little attention. It came via carrier pigeon, covered in coal and reeking of Yorkshire Pudding. At first we were confused, but then it all became clear; this was a mix from someone from up NORTH. Apparently that’s how it goes down up there. Anyway, tenuous stereotypes aside; this is a top quality mix from Nockall which takes a trip through all that is happening right now in the world of house, and some of the most prolific labels and producers in the game at the minute. Taking in people like Camel, Sebastian Leger and Ramon Tapia as well as Mowgli and Teki Latex; Nockers shows a great ear for a tune – which comes as no surprise when you know that he is head honcho of promo taste-makers Your Army. Go check him out, but be sure to carry some sort of translation dictionary.

Machines Can Do The Work
By Urchins | July 2, 2010
It’s pretty much a nailed on fact that by now you’ll know all about Fatboy Slim‘s collaboration with Cheap Thrills label head and all-around busy chap Hervé. It’s called Machines Can Do The Work and it’s a cacophony of acid licks, weird old school rave and a sample from which the track name stems. It’s been pretty big already upon its release on Skint, and the remix EP is soon to follow. The Supabeatz mix which we posted a while ago had to be taken down, but we make it up for you all now with the ever dependable Reset! remix; the guys seem to have taken a step up with this one and added a dancefloor destroying bassline to go with their ever-present ‘turbofunk’ structuring! Big big things, check it! Also, Josh asked us to let you guys know about the Cheap Thrills mailing list – and the fact that if you sign up to it you can get your mitts on an exclusive 13 track mixtape featuring a whole bunch of label stuff mixed by the man himself. Worth a peek too! Get in on the act HERE.

Hitting the Reset! Button
By Urchins | June 14, 2010
So here at Palms Out we’re pretty big on bigging up those big names that weren’t so big when we bigged them up back in the old days. It seems obvious here to use a previously aforementioned adjective to describe the Italian collective who we’ve supported since way back when, but we’re going to avoid it. Mainly because they’ve actually outgrown that term now and soon will be categorised as ‘massive’. We can hardly wait. With huge remixes for Cassius, Fenech Soler and Alex Metric all firmly under their belt, they have funk inspired reworkings of Fatboy Slim & Herve, Crookers and Lee Mortimer & Foamo ready to unleash. All of which are guaranteed to be huge this summer! To celebrate their new found glory; we’re giving away an exclusive new remix, an older gem and a brand new mixtape – grab them all!

By Urchins | April 25, 2010

Gehts Noch
By Urchins | March 13, 2010
Belgium has always punched way over it’s weight in the music world; with Soulwax and Aeroplane flying the electronic flag in recent years. The latest wave of production talent to emerge from the heart of the European Union are people like Sound of Stereo, Highbloo and today’s bloggees Geht’s Noch. A quick look at their myspace will show you that; far from being new to the game – these guys have been at the forefront of the Belgian scene for a couple of years and are consistently playing huge parties. They’ve already seen an EP released on Level 75 (featuring a Congorock remix, no less) do super well, and their latest offering won’t disappoint either. ‘Horny EP’, with a remix from fellow Belgian and Boys Noize records member Keatch, have been firmly in our CD wallets for a while now; check out the original track and a mixtape!

Eskimo Twins
By Urchins | February 18, 2010
With one of the best names I’ve heard for a while, this outfit already had my attention well before their music had finished downloading onto my macbook. It would be a much more romantic story to imagine that this track was genuinely produced by two brothers wearing sealskin, using whale bones, in an igloo somewhere in the deepest reaches of the North Pole (apologies for any factual inaccuracies in what I just described.) The real story, though, is that with a mutual appreciation of everything from acid, techno and a “lingering teenage love” of metal – came the formation of Eskimo Twins, in the somewhat warmer climet of Leeds, England. Fast-forward two years and they are still holding down a residency at Wax:On, one of the countries most recognised clubbing brands, and have a couple of well recieved EP’s under their belt to go with the mountain of huge names they perform alongside on a regular basis. We predict big things for these guys in 2010!

Audiofun
By Urchins | January 23, 2010
The newest release on Southern Fried Records is from Manchester based Irishman Audiofun; whose hard work and ear for a solid beat has garnered attention from some of the big players in the ever expanding ‘electro’ scene (although his EP is reviewed in the ‘Warehouse’ music section of a music mag next month; anyone care to shed light on that!?). This Audiofun EP shows a huge variety of influences, from techno through to tribal and back through the ‘dutch house’ scene that really took hold in 2009 – the result is a solid first release from a dude who you should be keeping an eye on in 2010! Enjoy a couple of low-quality versions of his EP tracks, and a mixtape before making your way over to Beatport to snag the real things! Tracklisting after the juuuump!

Stopmakingme
By Urchins | January 7, 2010
Fabric has a fairly long running tradition of hugely successful nights being ran by hugely successful musicians, so it’s a pretty smart move to keep up to date with the movers and shakers over in Farringdon. Running ‘Kill Em All’ with the now borderline mahoosive Filthy Dukes, whilst manning the tills at legendary music shop Pure Groove is Stopmakingme – a young upstart with designs on producing the music that he so deftly mixes on a regular basis on some of the country’s biggest nights.
With a selection policy of “unwashed heavy electro, mutant new wave, huge disco, pulsing techno, updated post-punk and perfect pop” it was always going to be an interesting foray – and the new remix of Sisters of Transistors track Solar Disco manages to encapsulate pretty much all of the aforementioned descriptions! Keep an eye out for a debut EP in 2010 and check out his January Mixtape to see what you can expect to see in a Stopmakingme set very soon!

Solo Loves Garage?!
By Urchins | December 10, 2009
Solo has come a long way from the 14 year old who made a habit of ‘smoking spliffs and doing dodgy heavy metal covers’ to being the forefather of a hugely exciting ‘midget’ sub-genre and a producer who’s tunes have found their way into the record bags of DJ’s at the top of their game in practically every scene. Like his countrymen Mowgli and Riva Starr, Solo makes the sort of music that will go down well in practically any clubbing environment – so it comes as no surprise that he’s now starting to remix and produce original bits with some heavy hitters. The latest reworking is of UK-Grime King ‘Wiley‘, and features a sample from the haunting White Town track ‘(Never Be) Your Woman’ – a track that I’ve not heard in years! Be sure to follow Stefan on Twitter and, if you can bring yourself to log in, Myspace!

8oh8!
By Urchins | December 2, 2009
A1 Bassline has consistently been one of our favourite artists over the past couple of years, and Christian has really taken strides to move his sound forward and onto bigger and better things. The culmination of this was a Southern Fried Records EP which featured a couple of new songs, and a couple of older favourites too. This new sound is an amalgamation of the basslines and drum loops which so endeared us to him in the early days, with new influence from Dutch House and even Techno coming together to make a much more mature and well rounded effort in ’8oh8′ and also in ‘Here Come Da’. The lovely people over at Southern Fried have given us these two belters for you, and you can grab the rest of the EP over at Beatport!

Lies
By Urchins | November 5, 2009
Fenech Soler have been arguably the most hyped underground band in Britain in the latter part of 2009; carving a very definite mark in a number of London scenes with their perfectly balanced dancefloor pop – the guys are as at home with the indie kids as they are in a club. Their debut EP was ridiculously well received, and their live shows have been the stuff of legend for months now – we think that 2010 will be a very VERY good year for this Kings Cliffe quartet; and they go into it on a very strong footing with a solid release on Moda Music. Remixes on the package include winners by Alex Metric and Tom Staar, plus the Phantom’s Revenge remix which you can find just below!! Go check iTunes and Beatport for the full release!

Reset!
By Urchins | October 28, 2009
Earlier this year we posted about a collective of DJs / Promoters / Producers and all round busy Italian guys called Reset! It was clear even back then that they were on the right track, fast forward to today and things are about to get very exciting for our Milan based music mafioso. Not only have they become the latest addition to the ever-improving Cheaper Thrills roster with their forthcoming ‘My Truck’ EP, but they have put together a remix for Cassius‘ ‘Youth Speed Trouble Cigarettes’ comeback single, which has already found its way not only in to the CD bags of DJs worldwide, but on to the Mixmag Cover CD from ‘Club 75′.
We’re super pleased to exclusively give you this remix, plus a reworking of a classic drum & bass tune, and a 40 minute Autumn Promo Mix to boot! Go give Reset! some love before they hit the next level; whatever that might be!

Sugarbeat Club w/ AC SLATER & URCHINS
By Urchins | October 20, 2009
We think it’s important that we keep you lovely people up to date with what the Palms Out family is doing in it’s quest for global domination, and to big up the shows that stand out on our collective calendars. A quick perusal of the dates of our bass heavy brederin AC Slater will tell you that he’s currently tearing up dancefloors in the UK – and we’re massively excited to be joining forces with him in a Palms Out hijacking of one of the Isle’s favourite nights – Sugarbeat Club! Ran by Utah Saints; the night has already played host to Soulwax, Felix da Housecat and DJ Ca$h Money, and a whole host more – and next Friday sees AC and Calvertron smashing up room 1, whilst Urchins stake a claim to room 2 for the long haul. Come down and show us some love! Click the link below to get the full info.
