Rusko’s new album, “Songs”, will be released 26th March via Mad Decent.  The record follows the pioneering dubstep producer’s 2010 debut album “O.M.G!”. The first single from “Songs” will be a record we premièred back in August – featuring vocals from Vula “Somebody To Love” will be released 23rd January:

Following Rusko’s 26-date tour of America, the Leeds-born now LA-based producer and DJ will be hitting the UK for the shows below.

From Oakland California but currently residing in Hollywood, she’s got something Aaliyah-ish about her. Rather than running from the comparison, Phlo is embracing it, especially in this, the video for Shades, where she pays homage to Baby Girl:

Taken from the EP, Crown Gold, it’s definitely worth your bandwidth. Have a listen if you don’t believe me:

Really happy that finally Rita Ora makes a vocal appearance on a major track! We’ve been waiting years and years since she signed to Roc Nation and some may say, the wait has been thoroughly justified. After getting the first 1Xtra spin of it on last night’s show, the response was positive from the Original Jammers but what do you think?

Artist: DJ Fresh ft Rita Ora
Track Name: Hot Right Now
Label: MOS
Release Date: 26.02.2012

The D.O.T is Mike Skinner’s post The Streets musical project alongside Rob Harvey from The Music. They were put together with Ghostpoet (who I’ll admit, other than the remix of ‘Cash & Carry Me Home’ I haven’t really got until now) by those creative types over at Rizlab who are doing some really interesting projects at the moment. The idea of the video is that it was all shot ‘as live’ with an online audience deciding what would invade the set next. The artists apparently had no idea what was coming next.

Musically, I love it. Mike has dusted off his classic ‘Original Pirate Material’ 2 step vibe, Ghostpoet compliments the verses perfectly and Rob smashes the hook. Check it here:

Such a sick record with equally as sick visuals to go with it.

Artist: Dub Phizix & Skeptical ft Strategy
Track Title: Marka
Label: Exit Records
Release Date: 19th December 2011

The first one earlier this year, “Follow U” featuring the ever wonderful Ayah Marar received heavy radio and online support after being premièred on my 1Xtra show. This follow up, “My Name” takes a more rap led direction and features fire verses from 3 of the hottest up & coming mc’s tipsters are busy tipping for 2012: PW, RoxXxan & Mic Righteous. As with most artists building their buzz and fanbase, he’s decided to give it away for free!

If you missed it’s premiere on my 1Xtra show earlier this evening, check it out here:

I’ve heard there are a few tasty remixes forthcoming but as a taster, we here at MistaJam.com have been very kindly given an exclusive edit of everyone’s favourite braided Croydon Dubstep don Kutz remix to give away for free (at the end of this post). Taking the original down a bouncy Dubstep route, I have a feeling this will become a set staple for every good DJ worth their salt:

The duo’s upcoming album, set for release in early 2012 features collaborations with a new wave of electronic music stars and producers from around the world. Album sessions have seen the band working with the likes of Skrillex, Diplo and Chiddy Bang which sounds really interesting. Just like all cool people (well, I would say that) Jack Beats currently curate a quarterly night at London club Fabric which has played host to the likes of Sub Focus, DJ Zinc and the Crookers. The next date is 2nd Dec which will feature Busy P (Ed Banger) and 12th Planet. It may feature me skanking out on stage in a post 1Xtra Live haze too, although I can’t guarantee that!
