A while ago I thought about starting a series of exclusive mixes for my blog, so I put the feelers out and got some great responses, but failed to capitalise on it at the time. However today, I can bring you what will hopefully be the first of a series, thanks to Bristol legend and all-round asset to the music scene, Koast. The Durkle Disco boss has knocked up a wild ride through what feels like a global showcase of grime, UK funky, dubstep and beyond, thanks to tracks emanating from the UK, Holland, France, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Congo and Brazil. It weighs in at 64 tracks and 96 minutes, kicking off with Bristol favourite, Snowie, before getting stuck into tracks from Kojey Radical, Naira Marley, Roska, Snowy, Zed Bias, Gabriel Waves and a whole lot more. You can find the full tracklist below, as well as the mix itself. As well as Tom’s Durkle Disco involvement and his DJ sets, Tom has also been a key player in the rise of SWU.FM, the new Bristol radio station which begins broadcasting shortly. For more information on what’s in store, you can find them on all socials as @swu.fm. Continue reading “Koast: Exclusive Mix”

Baileys Brown “Greco Style”
It’s the hottest day of the year, so what better time to release the next dose of fire from the Baileys Brown album: “Greco Style” featuring Datkid, Krazy, C Strikez, Koast, Confusion and D Green.
Baileys Brown “Eyes Speak Louder Than Words”
There are a lot of producer projects that have got me hyped recently and the new album from Baileys Brown is no exception. The Bristol beatsmith has been one to watch for the last few years and has steadily carved out a name for himself, thanks to projects with the likes of Datkid, Twizzy and his own MC alter ego, DGreen.
