Secret Button makes Sandwiches

Alland's Byallo's Secret Button Bureau just dropped another bootleg edit of a classic jam by the Detroit Grand Pubah's. SBB edit takes the track on a deep and smooth ride and delivers a fresh take on this classic jam. Sandwiches is a classic track that has been shaking dance floors since it's 2000 release on Throw. The group were nominated for "Outstanding Funk Artist / Group" at the Detroit Music Awards in 2002. Rolling Stone called them "a group to watch..... this dynamic duo never ceases to amaze with creative use of found sound, foreboding vocals, and bizarre costumes". The group run their own record label, Detelefunk, on which they release their own music and that of other artists. Learn more about the Pubah's here or here.

You can buy the original version of Sandwiches by Detroit Grand Pubahs online. In fact, they just re-released it with a 3 part series of techno remixes. You should buy them, or cop the wax of the original at Discogs.com. Don't be a cheapskate, support the music you love and the talented artists who make it. Thanks for the DL Alland!

Prince Wildkats

Wildkats Prince edit. Sign's is a great track and the Kats put a sweet dance twist on it. Cheers to free downloads and sweet edits. Heat.

Wildkats are a production collective formed in East London when Edinburgh DJ's Stuart Sandeman & Scott Dickie met US import Corey Baker.

After sharing ideas over a booming warehouse bass bin they decided to get into the studio. Pulling influences from 80s Funk and New York Disco they began to develop their sound; an energetic combination of groove led house and dubby disco with their trademark Wildkat baseline. Inspired by the new wave of contemporary house music fusing 80s drums, synths and bass sounds, Wildkats have put their own stamp on this with their catchy edits and raw dance floor killers.

Since their inception last summer their tracks have caught the attention of some of the biggest names in the dance music community with support coming from Hot Natured, Wolf + Lamb, Crosstown Rebels, Lee Curtiss, Droog, Jamie Jones, M A N I K and Soul Clap. All of which have tried and tested these across some of the globes most proliphic dance floors from Sonar to Burning Man, Glastonbury and Ibiza's mecca DC10. 2011 has proved to be an essential introduction for these boys with releases lined up with various imprints. Their forthcoming 'System Crank' release with Russ Yallop on Hot Creations is already creating quite a stir across the dance community and receiving notary kudos as the Essential Tune Contender on the UK's Radio One show. We look forward to forthcoming releases on Hot Waves, Stranjjur, Lower East, Neim and Akbal Music.

Youth Foskey EDITS and Larry

Youth strikes again with two hot downloads from his youth edit's project. Dope as usual, two great party jams. If you remember we have posted about Luke Foskey previously on the blog. His edit of Talking heads This must be the place is one of my favorite examples of a top notch edit effort. These two jams will definitely keep the party going strong. Enjoy!
