Radio Updates

Posted on February 25, 2012 by Jak

After the launch of the radio last week, we have decided to make some changes in order to make the experience better for the listener.

These include:

1. New SHOUTcast server
We have now purchased our own SHOUTcast server so we no longer have to stream from a third-party website.

2. Radio statistics added to the sidebar
This has been implemented in order to make it easier for anybody visiting the website to see if the stream is online and what is currently being played.

3. Updated radio page
We have completely re-designed the radio page to keep it similar to the main website. A new Flash radio player has also been added as well as radio statistics and alternative listen links for different media players. ThinkDance Radio will also be available to stream via the mobile app TuneIn Radio which is available on iPhone, Android & BlackBerry.

4. Schedule
Instead of streaming at sporadic times throughout the week, we have created a schedule page which includes times of broadcast (from Friday to Sunday) and what type of music will be playing. This should add some structure to the radio stream and allow visitors to the site to have definite times on when they can listen. That said, times are subject to change.

That’s all for now, enjoy the music!

K1 – Apocalypse EP

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Josh

K1 is one of grimes most promising young up and comers I’ve heard for a long while! His productions first pricked my ears a few months ago via SoundCloud, where he had few freebies up for download which blew me away! The one that’s stuck with me the most has to be a track called ‘Wumpa Fruit‘ which is just emotional!

This 4 track EP has been due for release for a few months now and Spooky’s label ‘Ghost House‘ as picked it up for their 3rd release. The tracklisting is strong with two of them featuring on the infamous ‘Lord Of The Mics 3‘ DVD on the Sox & Kozzie clash. For me the favourite has to be ‘Streetlights’ as it captures a great chilled grime sound, which is an opposite of the his more usual dark and grimey tracks. ‘Armed Robbery’ is also a favourite as it is more orchestral lead with an epic string melody! However much I hate age playing a major factor in music for a young producer K1 has defiantly got a bright future ahead of him with the huge amount of support he is receiving at the moment from the likes of Spooky and Kiss 100′s Logan Sama.

If you buy one grime release this year make sure its this one! Track list and sampler is below.

K1  - Apocalypse EP (GH003)

1. Apocalypse
2. Armed Robbery
3. H1N1
4. Streetlights

Mr Dubz – Facetime EP

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Josh

First time I came across Mr Dubz was back in 2011 when DJ DMK played the title track to this EP ‘Facetime’ on his BCR radio show. What got me about this track was mesmerising bassline Mr Dubz has hand crafted over a some what garage style 2-Step beat. The original was in fact released last year on the Danky Skank EP along with three other cracking tracks.

Mr Dubz has a style that I can say I’ve never come across before. Its hard to label his music with genre as it takes in so many aspects of others. For example ‘Facetime’ has a real sense of dubstep about it but at the same time steers away from the stereotypical sound and adds a fresh twist to it. ‘The Way VIP’, admittedly not on this release, is the creator of my greatest DJ moment to date. I played this track at a booking in London not expecting that much of an amazing response, how wrong was I! I honestly could have carried on playing that track for the rest of my set, the crowd was loving it! I think the reload total was about 5 on that track alone, and that was only because I wanted to get more tracks in!

This EP gives a more bass driven selection as oppose to his first EP with Sheffield label ‘Project Allout’. The title track this time round is infact the VIP of ‘FaceTime’, a nice rework/revamp to the original found on his first EP. ‘Tumpa Riddim’ offers up a Grime and Dubsteppy fusion, the first minute of the track has ever familiar grime horn which turns in to a dirty bassline that can only be described as huge! ‘Out Of Door’ is just crazy! Dubstep influenced basslines with UKG drums, madness! The fourth and final track ‘Build Up’ is a nice chilled out track to finish such a hectic EP. The nice chilled out synths and bass give a nice euphoric track.

3 – Out The Door
4 – Build Up
