Well Geo posted about Fake Blood’s remix of Calvin Harris’ ‘Ready For The Weekend’ whilst I was away and even though it was only a rip I thought it was pretty good. The full version has leaked (albeit not in 320) and its still a very nice remix on the whole. Been listening to the original more recently and can’t say I’m that much of a fan really, prefer both this and the High Contrast mixes.

After the latest Crookers leak, which contained a fairly big name in Kardinal Offishall, the apparent first single from their upcoming album has also surfaced, though not in a good quality rip. It features Kelis, another artist on the more urban side of things, and Crookers seem to have added a dubstep feel to the track. The preview is REALLY low quality so there’s not much point posting it but I shall anyway.

Big things are expected of Frankmusik this year, with his debut album coming out as well as tonnes of other stuff he’s producing for other artists (namely Holly Valance, who is now his girlfriend!). Anyhow, this new track, a collaboration with TEef, called ‘Take ‘im Out’, has a grime element to it (though I don’t know who the rapper is seeing as I thought TEef was just a producer) which works pretty well with Frank’s glitchy electro-poppy style.

And lastly The Kickdrums have been doing fairly big things this year, with their debut album and numerous other productions, but most recent is their remix of the sublime ‘Nothing To Worry About’ by Peter Bjorn and John. I don’t think anything will top the original, although the Troublemaker remix is a brilliant rap take on it, but this remix is quite good anyway. It changes the chorus, doesn’t make it worse, just changes it. Its got Wale, Young Chris & Rhymefest on it, though I do prefer the likes of Adam Tensta on Troublemaker’s version. Worth a listen anyway. (And if anyone can tell me what song the low-pitched voice at around 0:24 is from I’d appreciate it.. been bugging me for a while now!).
