Mr Squatch – Liquid Light ep

In order to stay true to the site mission it’s necessary that I provide you with news on new production from time to time. Until now I haven’t come across much I felt the need to share but this release from Mr Squatch is certainly a most worthy candidate for the first post. With influences ranging from Psy-trance to Tech and Progressive House this release is highly polished and destined to become a massive success with the international underground. Mr Squatch hails from Christchurch, New Zealand and can be found rocking festivals and warehouse parties across the land, for more info be sure to check out his Facebook page or head over to Delicious Music for bookings.

Toby Waan – Boards of Chamonix

Getting back to the techier side of life here’s a most excellent mix from my good friend Mr Toby Waan A.K.A Toby B. Currently based in the U.K Toby has assembled a selection of premium Tech House tunes for our listening pleasure. This mix was inspired by a forthcoming snow boarding trip to the Mountains of Chamonix which just goes to show that inspiration can come from the most unlikely of places.

Time You Realised – Mixed by PYRAMID

I recently discovered the talented production duo that is PYRAMID while on the eternal hunt for dance floor smashers. It was soon apparent that these boys were pushing a sound at the forefront of the electro and breaks crossroads. Their tunes are big, phat and dirty just like this mix which was put together as a promo for Funkatech Records. Get into it and if you want to know more head over to their Myspace page.

Hexadecimal October 2009 Mix

Crazik – Resound 011

With a deep, rolling, tech-progressive sound Crazik’s mixes are quite honestly some of the best I’ve ever listened too. Comprising a near perfect track selection and subtle blending that will leave you blissfully unaware of where one track ends and the next begins, his mixes are truly something to aspire too. This is the latest edition but you can check out his website for a whole lot more progressive goodness. :)
