It seems that most blogs worth talking about these days have some sort of mix series going for ‘em, so to celebrate approximately one year in the blogosphere and the start of our mix series I present you PnTM-1: Mr. Mandelephant’s Sinister Nugget Mix. 70 minutes of sub infused house knockers mixed by yours truly using two Stanton STR8 150s, a DJM 800 and an SL1.
One Off, Archi-textures and Dubslingers presents Synkro live @ Nocturne this Friday Feb.5th featuring 2 rooms of bass for that face. Check the link below for more information.
I’ve been listening to some archived Wolf + Lamb podcasts and came across Nicholas Jaar’s label showcase set from the Bunker last March. How such a young producer (I think he’s 19) manages to craft tunes of such intimate depth and sophistication floors me. A lot of you may have already heard this episode of theirs, but I totally slept on it and it made for a most excellent discovery today.
Mi Mujer off Jaar’s latest Time For Us EP on Wolf + Lamb is an absolute gem and there are a also slew of other interesting releases from himself, Soul Keita and Nikita Quasim on his very own Clown & Sunset imprint.
The Elusive DJ of Toronto’s Audio Creeps crew just gave us the go ahead to share this smooth techified rework of Superchumbo’s 2003 classic progressive house number This Beat Is. If you’re feeling it be sure check out more from this camp on Don’t Look Productions and stay tuned for more PnT exclusives!!!

Payme’s take on Riva Starr’s latest lemon packs some of the best hydraulic bass knock the PnT Rockit 6s have heard in months. Trim butters this beat with serious swagger and low riding flow rocking Dance Me A Dance on the up and down. Some sexy minimal blips and toms in there to round out the chunk as well… so heavy! Couldn’t find much (or rather any) info about this mystery producer, so if you know the deal speak up. Cop this along with the rest of the release in all it’s three hundred and twenty K glory here.

“Only once the drugs are done. I feel like dying.” Such an eerie and bone chilling sample which is originally part of a Lil’ Wayne tune. With this new Dubstep re-work, Jesse Fex manages to heighten the dark and emotional undertones of the sample and wraps it all up with an infectious bassline. A local Toronto producer and DJ for many years, the last year or so has seen Jesse getting much more diverse with his production. With the creation of Normand Wellsley there has definitely been a strong focus on the Dubstep side of things. Check out the Jesse Fex Soundcloud page for more beats!

The RTK mix below reminded me of a little nugget I’ve been enjoying from the likes of Wareika. Out on the Fitness Funk release from Tartelet in December, Wareika’s come again cut Mountain Ride is gently cheesed with some light blues vocals that’ll keep the floor smiling and focused. The equation is as follows:
Balkan Horns + Two Note Bass Line + Drum Gallop + Acoustic Guitar + Blues Vox = Wareika – Mountain Ride (buy)
