Chicago vibes...

James did these mixes a few years ago, and we thought we'd re-distribute them online, in the wake of the current Chicago house revival. Enjoy!

Blew That ft. DRS - Out NOW!

Media_httpimg198image_hgcaf

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'.

Radio Show News!

Media_httpimg43images_kfsbr

As most of you will know, we've been presenting a weekly show on Manchester's Unity FM (92.8FM), every Saturday night (11pm-1am GMT), for just over a year now. The time has come for us to up our game, and as of next week, we're very pleased to announce that we will be upgrading to a live weekly broadcast (our previous Saturday night shows were pre-recorded due to weekend gigging maneuverers) every Wednesday evening, at the primetime evening spot of 7pm-9pm (GMT).

We're extremely pleased that we're going to be able to present this show live every week, as essentially it means we can be interactive with both our local Manchester audience, but also our much appreciated online followers, from across the world. You'll be able to listen live online (click here) every Wednesday, and interact with us via Twitter and Facebook as the show goes out, allowing us to shout you out, wherever you may be in the world, and maybe even get the odd track request into the show!

We'd like to thank our Saturday night listeners in Manchester, and those international followers who had become used to our listen again feature on our Soundcloud, for your support over these past 12 months in our slot, and look forward to broadening our listenership in the new primetime slot on Unity FM, Wednesday night, 7-9pm. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to be kept in the loop on our live weekly broadcasts. 

Thanks for your continued support. Keep it locked to HeavyFeet!

Mothead - Parting Gift (HeavyFeet Remix)

Media_httpimg651image_ufqlf

Brand new remix for UK act, Mothead, on recently founded Overcooked Records (a collective of like-minded music producers and artists from all over the world). We were digging their vibe, and it's definitely good to work with smaller, newer labels every so often, in our book. We hope you enjoy the heavier bass-edged production on this one!
