We luv George Lenton

Now any readers who have been with us for a while now will remember how much we love George Lenton. If you dont know why then you havent listened to his 1xtra mini-mix enough obviously!

Now in the couple months that we havent mentioned him he has still be churning out some absolute bangers so enjoy the selection below.

Some old skool Dizzee Rascal given a Lenton make over

I luv you (George Lenton remix) by georgelenton

Bit of a housey flex from GL this time, but with a signature drop that kills the clubs

Sex Intelligent ( George Lenton remix ) by georgelenton

I know, I know, its a Katy Perry tune but wait for the drop and tell me you dont get the screwface on

California gurls (George Lenton rmx) by georgelenton

Another example of Lentons amazingly tight production, getting some sounds that other producers cant get anywhere near at the moment

George Lenton - Makura by georgelenton

And finally a clip of a real George Lenton classic, go buy this tune its EPIC

Faithless

So not sure how many of you have heard the new Faithless album 'The Dance'. Faithless were a band that really hit the spot when I was younger, their trance-house anthems were perfectly accompanied by Maxi Jazz's unique vocals.

When the new album landed on my desk a few months back I was pretty excited, really wanted to hear what the legends were up to now, specially as they were no longer signed to a major label and had some freedom.

What I found was a mixed album, some really great and forward thinking tracks followed by some more standard and obvious offerings. But we wont focus on the negatives and below is my favorite track off the album.....

Comin' Around, featuring vocals from Dougy from The Temper Trap, is the kind of tune that made me fall in love with Faithless all those year ago, flowing minimal basslines with atmospheric pads and vocals

As a little bonus here's a mashup mini-mix of the latest Faithless album by Sister Bliss

The Dance minimix by Sister Bliss - Faithless by [PIAS] Recordings

Quick Post - Flux Pavillion

So here's another little quick post for ya....

We had Flux Pavillion down at SOME a few weeks ago and they tore it up, we thought we'd post up one of their latest remixes that I cant get enough of.... Enjoy

DJ Fresh - Gold Dust (Flux Pavillion Remix) by Ministry of Sound

Local Natives

Not the kind of band we normally feature on Sly Fly but I have to admit that LA-based Local Natives are one of my favourite bands around at the moment. Any of you who are looking for a perfect summer album check out 'Gorilla Manor' by LN, you will not be disappointed.

A band thats not scared of the remix they have put stems from their tracks up on their website so there are a few cool mixes flying around.

Check out this really nice and chilled dub/2step mix by DYM

Local Natives - Who Knows Who Cares (DYM Remix) by Damn You Mongolians

One of the official mixes from the single Eyes Wide was this great reworking from Fools Gold. Giving it a bit of a crunk/gangstar rap mash up while still retaining the beautiful vocal work form the band

Local Natives - Eyes Wide (Fool's Gold Remix) by TNastee

Quickpost - Modestep

Still stuck in the mountains so I'm gonna have to be brief and to the point.

Check out my boys Modestep who we had play SOME a few weeks back, their big sounding dubstep/D&B tunes have been doing the rounds on Youtube and clocking some pretty impressive hits.

Check out a clip of 'Sunlight' above. Some summer-step for ya!

In the Clouds

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I am literally in the clouds! I have escaped London for a couple weeks but due to my intense altitude internet is a little bit harder to come by than i thought!

I havent got any of my tunes so im afraid your gonna have to rely on some good old fashioned Youtube buzzness!

Seeing as i'm in italy I thought I would rep Italian producer Gigi Barocco whos tech-house sounds have been keeping me going while I have been hidden away from the world.

Huge post of my return I promise
