Free Tune Friday - We Here Mash Ups!

Easy all!

A couple of weeks back we gave away the vocals for 'We Here' by The Body Snatchers (aka Ginz & Baobinga) ft. Yolanda, and today we've decided to showcase some of the stuff you lot have got up to with em.

First up we have DJ Mellow from Brussels, who runs the Low Up parties which I can describe as being properly amazing. Anyways, he's taken the We Here vocal and laid it over a track by Schlachthofbronx called 'Regulate' - check it out here:

Next up we have Borai, aka Boris the studio manager at www.dubstudio.co.uk - Bristol's dedicated dubplate studio, and one of the few places in the UK that cuts direct to vinyl dubs. I've had a couple of these done and they are well impressive - sound great and last plenty long, so definitely worth trying out. Anyways, Boris has built a totally new Funky-inspired riddim around the vocal - top stuff, check it here:

If you've had a crack at doing something with the vocals we gave away, please get in touch and let us take a listen!

Free Tune Friday: The Body Snatchers - Dangerous (Club Edit) - EXCLUSIVE!!!

I've been meaning to do this for ages, but I've finally got round to it, and maybe in a way the delay was for the best.

Well that was a confusing start, but in my defence, it's 6:15am and I haven't slept yet.

Right, this week's Free Tune Friday is The Body Snatchers (aka Ginz & Baobinga) ft Sirplus & Yolanda 'Dangerous' - Club Edit. All this means is I've got hold of the stems and tagged a vaguely mixable intro onto the start of the tune, but credit where credit is due - I've uploaded it as a full mastered AIF. So no crappy MP3 stylings in your clubs, straight up baddaman goodness.

This is one of my favourite tunes off the album, and it feels like maybe its time has come somewhat - there's a distinct Karnival-type vibe to the tune, which is obviously helped by the superlative vocals of Sirplus and Yolanda - both ridiculously good Bristol heads, who we really need to get back in the studio with. The beat kinda has a B-More feel to it, but the swing, and lack of a Think or Sing Sing gives it more of a dancehall / garage feel, possibly with shades of Funky. All those vibes are getting shine now, hence my opening gambit of 'maybe the delay wasn't so bad'.

Sirplus - seen above countenancing infinity - always comes with great lyrics, and no exceptions here:

'True so we're paid to buss,

But it's gully and I still gotta take the bus

And it's funny how I swear but I hate to cuss

But I could have had the money and be flavourless'

Big.

Anyways, if you feel this, show some love and check out the album - digital here, CD here, vinyl here - and also check the DJ Woody mixtape here, which has some fresh stuff from us and Plus, and is of course minto.

Right. Sleep!

FREE TUNE FRIDAY - Pure Pella Power!!!

Ok so we're gonna do things a bit different this Friday cos we've given yous a bunch of free tunes recently.

Instead we're gonna open the hard drive vaults and bless you with not one but TWO full quality accapellas - yep, the original WAVs used to make the tunes.

First up we have the incredible Yolanda's work for The Body Snatchers on 'We Here (Big Pimpin)' - grab the vocals here. There's two files - the main vocal, and the extra flava she dropped over the top.

Yolanda is ridiculously amazing to work with. When she steps in the booth and literally starts creating the most amazing harmonies, in real time, off the top of her head, you know you're dealing with someone with actual talent, not one of us click-clacky mouse-pushin' fakers. I think my favourite bit in this vocal is:

'Get off my titties baby, I'm a little ticklish,

Just wet your lips and lick up on my liqourice

You're going too slow, could you work a little quickerish?

Wanna hold me down - honey I don't give a shit'

D.U.T.T.Y.G.Y.A.L.

Next it's the original Mancunian grime legends, Virus Syndicate, with the vocal for me and I.D.'s 'Jump Up Get Hype' - grab them here.

Again, its amazing being in the studio with Virus - the level of energy you hear in the vocal is definitely apparent in front of the mic! The opening to Nika D's verse (the first one) properly sent tingles up our collective spine when we got the vocal back - a great example of a vocal instantly going in and creating an energy. And normally, after such a hype first verse the next MC would struggle to match it but from the first bar of JSD's verse, you know that's not going to be a problem.

Should have a new Baobinga vs Virus tune soon - you heard it hear first fammo.

If you're feeling all this good ish, show some love to the original tings: here, here and here why not :)
