Flume - Holdin On

I've been following Flume for quite some time now and played many tracks of his on the show. This is one of the best, tapping into the Garage sounds that are ever popular at the moment mixed with hip hop break beats, the Sydney based producer has create something pretty special here. This cross over makes this type of track unique, a head nodding number is what it is.

Real name Harley Streten is signed to the brilliant Australian label Future Classic, some tracks on his are more like M83 some are just plain big. I recommend looking up both's back catalogues if you like this. A few on my favourite of Flume's remixes and originals after the jump....

And a link to his competition that he just ran, on Beatport, to remix one of his latest tracks...

Kahn - Angeles

Like many of Kahns previous tracks, Angeles takes a catchy vocal progression, cuts it up and uses it as a coagulant for his liquid synth and understated drums. Pure garage influence on this one, the level of restraint is perfect, with the omnipresence of it about to really kick off throughout the tune, and knowing what Kahn is like with VIP's, expect a punchier reiteration in the future. A solid follow up to the recent Margeaux EP, with a stronger and accessible vibe, it is definately more dancefloor friendly, albeit in a completely different way to the recently (and limitedly) pressed, aptly named Percy.
Dropped a week or so ago digitally, vinyl also out now, release by Bristols Soul Motive. Remix by Superisk on the flip.

Hervé – Together (C.R.S.T Remix)

The ‘Cheap Thrills’ Label boss who hasn’t released any music of his own for a while has this as part of an EP unleashed about 2 weeks ago, called Together. Its inspired many remixes but this from the Welsh new wave rave garage quartet C.R.S.T, who are getting huge around and about the place right now.

I first came to notice C.R.S.T when they remixed The XX and from what I've heard they are very good a what they do.

Still trying to find out what C.R.S.T stands for mind, the best Ive come up with is Cardiff's Rather Substandard Transportation. Let us know if you know....
