Another cool blog

Due to the fact that all my hard work goes into Sound of Habib the label and Breakbeat Royalty the publishing side of things (not to mention my other companies and my family), this blog quite frankly, has been dying on its arse. So I got this friendly email from fellow breakbeat enthusiast Mr No Hands who runs a blog that is NOT dying on its arse. Quite the opposite, actually.



Check out the blog, Life Support Machine for news, reviews, interviews and awesome free to download breaks, dubstep, electro-whatevers. Edited by Mixmag’s Beats, Breaks and Bass Reviews Editor, Mr No Hands, the site features anything, from the funky to the fidgety, wonky to the downright nasty.

The Life Support Machine podcast features upfront tracks from artists including the Bassbin Twins, Nick Thayer, Plump DJs, Featurecast and Bassnectar. Guest podcasts supplied from DJs include Mr Sofalumpkins AKA T. Power, Ben & Lex, Plaza De Funk and The Freerange DJs.

Go-go-go gadget!

Myagi - The Heat out now plus free radio edit mp3!

Hey everybody! Just wanted to give you a blast and mention that Myagi "The Heat / Fireball" is out at beatport now - although a monkey snuck into my room and named it "Andrew Mavor - The Heat / Fireball"......and by monkey I mean im crap at filling out excel data import sheets. :)

To celebrate its release I'm giving away a radio edit of the track at high res - you can grab it at various blogs around the net or at my myspace!

Myagi - The Heat / Fireball

You can buy the release at beatport now!
https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/168366/the_heat_fireball


.....

It's been called "huge" by some and "essential" others and dubbed "mayhem" by grammy winner The Scumfrog. Dj Dan thinks its "awesome" and at least one reviewer claimed it made his groin tingle - its PAL006 - "Myagi - The Heat / Fireball" and it will be the soundtrack to MANY a wrong doing this summer.

Continuing on with his no holds barred assault on genre purity, Myagi's Pop And Lock hypes it up with two ridiculously monstrous tracks that layer big electro house beats, heavy bass grooves and chunky mangled breaks:

"The Heat" is a minimal acid / percussive affair with a huge bassline and massive builds... big rises and lots and lots of peak outs, this is a house track that fits in any set as a total peak time heads down rocker. A firm crowd fave over the last while, this track is sure to push any system to the brink.

"Fireball" is a big synthy number with loads of feedback and a rolling beat - huge kicks and snares combine with a 303 lead bass groove to create a huge building groove that's one part Orbital one part Hardfloor and one part Chemical Brothers.

Advance support from Dj Dan, The Scumfrog, Phil Hartnoll (Orbital / Long Range), Utah Saints, Flash Brothers, Meat Katie and more...

Happy birthday to me, free mp3 for you!

Well, It's my 30th birthday today (May 2nd) and so I figured what better way to say thanks for the last 8 years of my life than by giving away my fave track off my album "3 Years Of Sunrise" at my myspace.

"3 Years Of Sunrise" came out to great critical acclaim last summer and a huge chunk of that was thanks to this tune "Staring At The Sun," which is for sure one of my favorite things I've written throughout my career. You can download it for free now at my myspace at:

http://www.myspace.com/myagisoleclaw

Hope you guys love this track as much as I do - the whole album is available at itunes, beatport, napster, etc!

Also, the most recent Pop And Lock single "Myagi - Monolith" has just come out at beatport - its a huge track that works in both house and breaks sets and is backed by a hard acid breaks remix by yours truly and a slick, classy prog mix by Jake Chec.

Available at beatport now:
