The Mason Duo are repsonsible for the Animal language releases, these releases are a twist on all modern genres that aims to put the fun back into dance music. The Mason sound follows medolic methods that inspire the thinking man on the dancefloor. The label is heading in the right direction with support from Dj Hell, Mylo and Carl Cox.
Syncrom; is an Italo influenced tune. The tune features an 80’s style riff of epic proportions, bonded together with a slick groove that Moroder would’ve been proud of. Initial reactions from Mason’s own DJ sets is that Syncrom is completely laying waste to dance floors everywhere from Belgium to Brazil.
The double A side is another un-predictable left turn for Animal Language. A tribute to our black and white mammalian friends, ‘The Badger’, is about as funky as it is possible to make a record. A massively infectious slap-bass line is aggressively cut up and welded onto a jacking beat complete with old school vocal snippets and stabs. ‘The Badger’ is all funk, energy
Mylo: ha! loving Syncrom - 2010 is gonna be all about over the top karate kid music.
Alex Metric: love them both but badger is blowing my tiny mind. will play on the next radio 1 show for sure and smash it to hell and back in gigs. wicked!
Fake Blood: I'm off to jump into a computer controlled car / plane/helicopter / change into an animal!
Brodinski: Amazing man thanks a lot! ! Love dat!
Nick Warren: Syncrom is like Knightrider coming over the hill!
Sharam Jey: Always support your stuff, good tune with some nice disco sample falavour
Olav Basoski: DISCO DISCO GOOD GOOD, wow, this shit is FAT!
Larry Tee : Always loved Mason and Badger is Killing! Amazing man thanks a lot! ! Love dat!
Over the weekend Jack Beats, the DJ duo that has recently exploded, were given the task of mixing the legendary BBC Radio 'Essential Mix'. I was actually a little surprised that they were granted this privilege. Not that the boys don't have the talent or depth, simply because a year ago few people even knew the name Jack Beats. I was lucky enough to catch these guys on NYD this year at Sydney's Field Day. I was already quite familiar and fond of their work and very keen to see what they'd play. They certainly didn't disappoint playing a nice hard set. They were on a smaller stage behind the main stage but the Sydney crowd is obviously onto it cos a shit load of people turned out for the dusk set and the Jack Beats had a rave going on.
With a solid string of remixes and originals under their belt the boys are quickly becoming/have become a household name in the dance world. Their sound is a mixture of dubstep, electro, fidget. People often talk about their 'wobbly bass lines'. I was impressed with this mix for their track selection which is fresh and varied giving you a good idea of what they like and make. Personally I think they killed it. What do you reckon?

Whats that sound? was exactly what I thinking when I saw this interview with Afrojack.... Size records is taking on his new Ibiza bomb track inspired by Mr Steve Angello.....
1. For those people who might not know you, please introduce yourself… Waddup, this is Afrojack, this time with a new sound.
2. How’s the year treating you so far? I’ve been making music for the past 3 years professionally, going well so far!
3. Tell us about the new single. Pacha’s not somewhere you’d normally associate with acid… Nope its not, Mr David Guetta asked me to play in Ibiza with him on the FMIF closing party, and figured I needed to make something that would fit in to Pacha, but a little bit too hard (I like that), then I thought hmmm there hasn’t been something like Steve Angello’s Teasing Mr Charlie for sooo long, and thought lets do something like that! And it’s not about the drug acid, but about the sound! The track worked its magic in Pacha Ibiza and it was even cooler Steve eventually asked me if he could release it on his label, seeing the inspiration came from there!
4. Will you be out in Ibiza this year? Where’s your favourite place on the island? Yes!! My favourite places are Mambo, Pacha and the big Amnesia club, had some amazing times there especially in the last two, also DC10 used to be a killer party!! Too bad it’s closed, will be playing in Pacha and Eden this year for sure, all the rest I can’t say anything yet.
5. Everyone’s gearing up for Miami at the moment…what’s your take on the WMC? This is actually the first year I’m doing some of the gigs there! I have made like a small track for WMC, but I’m not “trying” to make that anthem, I’m more interested in meeting my favourite producers and maybe hooking up with them in the studio, and of course some major fun parties, it’s like a big DJ field trip!
6. What have you got planned for the rest of the year? I just got in my USA working permit so will do a lot of tours there, gonna fly a lot in Europe, and going back to Australia at the end of the year too, outside of that a lot of big studio sessions with big guys, and I’ve also started producing for pop artists which is really fun to do! That also gives me a fresh look on dance music which can inspire me if the four to the floor doesn’t do it for me one day..
7. Anything else you’d like to tell us about…? Yes, soon there will be a reaaaally special studio session, going in with Mr Steve Angello himself!!
Definitely a different sound, but as he said Teasing Mr Charlie needed a reworking of some kind. Also speaking of the WMC, all the artists usually get their tunes of the year ready for this. As this is the most influential festival of the year, in the dance world.
March 23rd marks the 25th anniversary, and with lineups like this.... tickets for delegates start at like $250 and that was 4 months ago, then flights, drinks.... pricey. But all these artists will probably play their newest and best work for the year at one or all of the events.
Dirty South has this ready for the WMC 2010.

All in one place! I will leave you with two tacks that I am loving.
This week's Mix Monday comes from a Sydney collab which is heading towards big things. Flight Facilities is the pairing of two Sydney producers who are talented and respected on their own accord, U-GO-BE and Jimmy 2 Sox. They pair who are both signed to the Bang Gang label met and quickly realised a common interest in their taste in music and all things similar. By putting their production skills and ideas together the duo realised few remixes last year, not too many but enough (and of a high enough quality) to create a stir. Their most recent piece of work is a track called 'Crave You' which is not even released yet and has gained much attention world wide. It's due out in March with a both of remixes. Definitely worth keeping an ear out for.
The mixtape is one they put out bout half way through 2009. I think the idea was to sort of showcase some tunes they liked and give people an idea of their sound and what to expect. I think it's very well crafted. Not tonnes of well known stuff but more an unique collection of tracks put together well.
