From The Drop

Alright peeps, welcome to Aural Flex and our first post of many.
Writing now is Keady (one half of Lamb Skank), and I'll be one of the numerous DJ's to post on here in an attempt to bring fresh flexing pleasures of the aural variety.
And, with this being the first anyone has to say from Aural Flex, it seems only fitting that the first tracks posted are ones which I think are perfect set starters.

First we have a reconstruction of a track by The Mystery Jets by Duke Dumont. They have literally taken it to pieces and then built up an eery atmosphere of circling vocals and echoeing beats. This then breaks down before patiently building itself back up before crashing a vortex of sound which can't come soon enough.

Next we have an awesome track by Tom Staar which whirs away and builds up energy before unleashing a frenzy of dutch house bleeps with a driving bass which wouldn't fail to get any set started.
It Excites Me by Tom Staar

Here is a remix of Fake Blood which allows you to slowly build up your set while still keeping energy at a high. It keeps on promising to drop into that definative Fake Blood bassline, but instead it keeps rolling over creating a tense atmosphere ready to explode with the next track, similar to DJ Fresh's recent remix of Wretch 32 - Don't Go
Noah And The Whale - "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N" - FAKE BLOOD Mix

This next track is something abit different and touches on the hideous named 'Post Dubstep' sound. It's by a masterful producer Slugabed who moulds glitches, bleeps and cut vocals into an overwhelming build-up before unleashing an overwhelming drop.

This is a track which quite defines the unique Bristol sound at the moment, but in my opinion when under the radar abit. It would be a perfect start to patient mix which could draw the listener in before slowly building up. Bashmore manages to keep the vital stems which made the original so big, but then also adds his own personal melodic style to create an all round winner.
