Preview: Killjoy - Higher
London based, Robin Hood-raised Killjoy puts his dab grimey hand to some house and funky slayers with his tune Higher, the only reason why labels like 502 aren’t releasing it yet is cause they haven’t bloody heard it yet. But expect releases forthcoming on Mimm over the summer…
Preview: Luke Abbott - Modern Driveway EP
Border Community mainstay, Luke Abbott, is set to release his first full EP in close to two years on Gold Panda’s Notown records. The eclectic techno producer from Norfolk has built up a huge following through his experimental beats that often center around airy, melodic chord patterns and soft pillow pads. As with his other quintessentially Boarder Community artists, Abbott has the ability to play with the heart-strings abit, with very aesthetically pleasing sounds, the kind they should use in adverts, the kind of music Apple could sell Ipads to.
Modern Driveway EP is available from 28th May.

Download: Elkat & Moleskin - Hurt (Elementz rmx)
Nottingham mainstays The Elementz have gone from strength to strength as the years have rolled by. Originally gaining recognition through their associations with Nottingham’s underground hip hop scene, with collaborative work with Scorzayzee, since then they have upped the tempo and become synonymous through their associations with Philadelphia’s ghetto bass junkie: Starkey, as well as their list of forthcoming material that can be anticipated on Mad Decent, Mimm and Sleek City.
Although this tune stands in the shadows of some of their forthcoming releases, which are steroid-driven slabs of dancefloor funky and bass, it certainly improves on the original. Taking Hurt away from antiquated dubstep percussion and a cheesy Aaliyah vocal, the boys from Nottingham pitch and bend snares amid catchy bubbling 808 scales and add a darker more pleasant sampling of Aaliyah’s voice.

Epworth - Inside (Tube10) Out Now
Having already provided you with the news of Epworth’s Tube 10 release some time ago, we can finally announce that the Mimm head honcho’s first full vinyl release is out. Pressed onto limited edition 10” purple vinyl, the release marks the end of a long wait for Mr Wilson after initial problems concerning the accidental pressing of Balmy Alley on both sides of the EP… well you can’t always get it right!
