Julio Bashmore - Au Seve

Attacking traditional house style with the trademark low-frequency influence of Bristol's bass scene, Julio Bashmore is rapidly establishing himself as a household name on the house scene. Bristol born and raised, Bashmore's music has recently started to gain greater recognition and has earned Julio a well-deserved spot every third Thursday of the month on BBC Radio 1's In New DJ'S We Trust show.

'Au Seve' was the official Outlook anthem this year. Hypnotically simplistic, whilst embodying the principles of expert craftsmanship and production.

Dada Life - Love Vibrations

Lets get back to the nitty-gritty. Feel the LOVE VIBRATIONS. An early track from the dynamic Swedish duo, instantly catchy and featuring hypnotic vocals and their trademark expanded basslines and mids.

"Can you feel it? In the AIR! In the AIR!"

CRYSTAL FIGHTERS "SWALLOW"

Continuing with the theme of dub-pop, Crystal Fighters describe their style of music as "fast, mesmeric and passionate". Incorporating elements of Basque folk with modern synth and experimental electronica, Crystal Fighters produce a unique sound that distinguishes them from many electronic bands today.Teaming up with producers such as Feed Me and attracting remixes from T.E.E.D and Passion Pit, Crystal Fighters' sound is exciting, original, and versatile and receiving more and more recognition as such.


Dropping a heavy dubbed up bassline at 1.05. Crystal Fighters earn their place on HOTDROP.ED with distinction.
