SO, we have a brand new single out today, 'Blew That', which has been doing exactly that... blowing up! Not just in the clubs, but on the radio too. Remixes from Zed Bias (yes!), North Base and Das Kapital. Here's the official blurb and mini-mix to check out whilst you read!
Bar making up HeavyFeet, Mike Burgess and James Medina have never done anything by halves, and their mantra of 'quality not quantity' is steadfast. Following a brief sabbatical, Stamp! Beats launches itself into 2012 with aplomb, throwing down an explosive, genre crossing, bass-laden release package that is 'Blew That'. Combining a snappy vocal hook from DRS (tour MC to Toddla T and one third of Broke N £nglish) and the unmistakable production sound of HeavyFeet, this gritty, UK urban-influenced package continues to push forward the future sound of Manchester, with international DJ support coming from the likes of DJ Craze, Herve, RackNRuin, B.Traits & Greenmoney, and specialist UK radio support from BBC 1Xtra, Capital FM, Rinse FM, Ministry Of Sound Radio and Unity FM.
With a big release must come big remixes! Two leading Manchester-based music figures deliver two equally smoking club mixes; the Godfather of UKG, Zed Bias, who deconstructs the original, re-visiting 1998, delivering an incredible remix that pays homage to the heyday of UK garage, and North Base, reaching for their much-loved 140bpm, fusing stuttered beats and a warping bassline, ensure a complete bass bin workout. Providing a totally unique, mainroom take on the original, having recently remixed for the likes of Laidback Luke, Das Kapital, Cape Town's rising production star, drops angry bass, atop tough 4/4 beats, complete with an epic, vocal-driven breakdown. HeavyFeet themselves wrap up this enormous package with their own Chicago house influenced dub, nodding in the direction of their much-blogged about remix of Switch's 'I Still Love You'.
