Free EP from Simtek on a bassline / 4-4 garage / dubstep ting. The Gash remix made me laugh out loud in the office for the sheer ridiculousness of the drop. Massive. Amazing Larry (there was a dude named Amazing larry in Lee Press-on & the Nails - I'm pretty confident this isn't the same guy, but if it turns out it is, that would be my favourite fact evar) vs Double Oh No remix starts off with a juke feel and descends into ghettotech madness with an offbeat bassline. Check it out, the price is right...

I realised today I'm getting loads of hits from people looking for 4x4s on my post about R8 Records' new 4x4 dubstep funky mix, due to being on page 1 on google if you search for new 4x4... quite funny I think.

In the hope that people who like 4x4s also like heavy bass, and also I guess as an experiment in irrelevant SEO, I thought I'd post this tune that R8's Rogue State has just put up for free download, it's a phat phat dubstep reworking of Gappy Ranks tune 'Stinkin Rich'

Stinkin Rich (Bootleg Rmx) by Rogue State

Rockin (as always) new mix from the R8 crew full of their unique Sheffield wobble... Some 4x4/funky/dubstep/kuduro action with authentic Yorkshire vocals from Walker & Dubzee, packed with exclusive dubs from R8 as well as big tunes from Buraka, Caspa & Rusko & more... (update...) I wrote this before getting to track 18 (which is freakin awesome, incidentally, insanely organ-wobble-tastic) which spins back into TKR's Polar, and the mix then continues off into blissful, chilled out dub/step territory, unexpected but amazing... check it out!!

Download it here, and check out Deadman's blog for more R8 action.

Check out the tracklist after the jump:

My boy from Sheffield Rogue State has just dropped a new free EP - 4 tunes in his inimitable 4-4-dubstep-niche style.

According to his bio: Having spent more than 10 years honing his production skills through various genres, the last few years have been spent working on the label, R8 Records which he co-owns and manages with Alex Deadman. Studio time is dedicated to a unique fusion of dubstep, Uk Funky, Niche and Jungle.

I can vouch for those ten years, in fact its at least 12 as we did one of our first gigs together back when he was called Optimus at the Boardwalk in Sheffield...
