We were listening to some of our favourite Air tracks today, and then we got an email from newcomer Little Loud, who makes synthtalating (get it ?) music. We were pleasantly surprised.

Now normally we get all sorts of music and we do listen to all of it. Even some whack band from Russia who said they “We’re the next Tatu”, honestly it’s refreshing to get something unknown but really really good.

Little Loud has also completed remixes for Memory Tapes, Au Revoir Simone and HEALTH. We’re not even sure who they are, but it sounds impressive enough.

Now the tracks reminded of me Royksopp, Air, breakbot and a few others but less european, if that make sense. It’s such a departure to what we normally post but we really like it and  that means you should too. A english version of Breakbot, but influenced by the rain and other depressing things, if you will.

Ren Riz is ready to unload another remix and we really like the new one he has done for Discosau, not sure who they are. But this track oozes 80′s nostalgia, for that we love it.

We featured Australian Ren Riz a few weeks ago after we posted his remix for Kavinksy’s Nightcall.

The dudes that you used to be Pony Pony, and who are now Jamaica (not the country!) are back with their next track – why is this important I hear you ask? Well it’s produced by Xavier De Rosnay from Justice. With one rule. No synths.

Brimming with stop-start metallic guitars and fuzzy indie-pop melodies, ‘Short & Entertaining’ is a three minute gem. The video is directed by Jeremie Rozan & Martial Schmetz – from Surface2Air – (Justice vs. Simian, The Streets) and features Igor Cavalera, the drummer and founding member of the Brazilian Thrash metal band Sepultura. And of course Mixhell where he plays with his wife. Talk about DJing with the enemy.

We had a chance to listen to some of the remixes from Das Glow, Mad Decent, Mixhell & Goose are all in the experimental world of music. Without being to rude.

If it floats your boat it will be released on August 16^th through Co-op Music.

Afropunk is a London based female producer/DJ with a CV that would make most jealous, and she’s a looker too – bit like a DJ version of Lauren Hill, but way less attitude – but thankfully she makes all sorts of good beats. Bit schitzo though. Just listen to her track about Tiger Woods. Too funny.

But seriously she got talent – would speel for a bit longer but it’s getting too late and I want to go to sleep.

So enjoy. And be sure to check out her Soundcloud page – lots of great stuff on there.

Hopsital Records high-flyer Danny Byrd has done a really pleasing remix of California by sassy singer song-writer Zarif, too say we like would be a understatement. We really like it.

Zarif has been cropping up quite a bit in our life, with a string of solid remixes for her song Box of Secrets, in both, Dustep and jump-up Dnb varieties. This one treads slightly different ground – with Byrd making a really good piece of liquid drum and bass.

Her album is out on the 30th August and will be well worth a purchase – if your a fan of Amy Winehouse, you’ll probably love Zarif. And she’s a lot better looking than that drug-filled dehydrated horse.

If your not familiar with the drum and bass scene it wouldn’t do you any harm to check out the Jaguar Skills: A history of Drum & Bass below. Brings you right up-to-date in just one hour. Simple.

Noisey New Yorker Jesse Jamz, sent across a new track that we are quite partial too, bit of a banger, but thats never been a issue at HBF, as one comment reads on his soundcloud. ROWDY. Yes it is indeed, them yanks love it all up your face.

But it’s done well. Very dramatic, check out some more of his stuff on his soundcloud page. He looks and sounds a bit like an american Tiga – let just hope he can’t sing. The download link has been put on his soundcloud page, not sure why when he could just allow it on the player. Oh well.

Just been left this comment in our comments section and has a video too. Not sure what to make of it.

“Yesterday, a french citizen uploaded a compilation of new “11″ songs from the BSO Tron Legacy added to the 6 songs published by “the end radio”.
Its extremly amazing these tracks wich are classified in scenes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2KT5PC_Sqk
This is not the score, this is the BSO, more commercial, more their style, it is like homework and discovery together.
Enjoy it!

Could this be snippets of the second CD – it has been reported that they have done 24 tracks – maybe a score CD and a proper dance CD version. Let’s hope so, and whoever sent the comment, get it contact and let us know where you came by this.

Comprised of two young musicians Marc Manning and James Matlock. They have been also worked closely with A1 Bassline, Tek-One, Joy Orbison, Home Park, Films of Colour and Kavsrave and have all been friends since school. Must have been pretty sweet music lessons there – so they know their way around the London scene and it shows. If you were to play this track blind-folded you automatically think London, probably Fabric on a breaks night. Enough said.

We were going to post on a Erol Alkan hardcore mix, but then we came across a mash-up mix from dutch producer Don Diablo. And thought it might be a bit more appropriate for a Monday evening. A trip down memory lane – interested ?

In a week where Daft Punk have courted a load press – they gone and sent the interweb into overdrive, six tracks of Daft Punk’s uber-anticpated Tron Legacy soundtrack have just appeared on a American Radio Station The End, now we have heard snippets already, but these seem to be the real deal, the first proper taste of the soundtrack, the first couple have music from the two trailers and the rest no body knows. You Decide.

They range from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes – for me they are real. But not full tracks.

Nu-disco wizards, Mighty Mouse, are giving away a track from their new single, Disco Battle Weapons Vol 1 and it will see the light of day in August on the aptly named Disco Circus Records.

This is the first in a series of Disco Battle Weapons from Mighty Mouse, featuring two tracks, ‘Junglefish’ and ‘The Beast’. Both tracks were written for the duo’s forthcoming ‘Disco Circus (Volume 2) compilation released 6th September 2010.

Their trademark cinematic disco sound has received accolades already from the likes of Aeroplane, Rob Da Bank, Annie Mac, Jaymo & Andy George, Andrew Weatheral, Lemon Jelly and Radio 1 (”act to watch in 2010”). Mixmag placed their debut compilation ‘Disco Circus (Volume 1)’ as the 8th best of 2009, which continued to receive rave reviews across the board.

Reigning supreme on Hype Machine, at the blogs and on radio with remixes for Gorillaz, Fenech-Solar, Ali Love, Robbie Williams, The Glamour, Performance and Bent, it is safe to say Mighty Mouse are the producer duo of the moment.

Mighty Mouse will be DJing through September, October and November in support of Disco Circus (Volume 2) and are currently recording their debut album

Mr Oizo aka Quentin Dupiex and Gaspard Augue (from Justeeece) have combined for the new soundtrack for Quentin’s third film, Rubber,  which is about a Killer Tyre, beyond that we know nothing! Confused? So are we.

They have confirmed that they will be releasing the soundtrack in the Autumn on Ed Banger Records – in the meantime they have a EP out and we have some streams as well as a Flying Lotus remix.

So we have never heard of Don Rimini before today, were not sure what this means, but it is bad form as this french producer is amazing. He music reminded us of DJ Touche – before he became Fake Blood – we still think Touche is better.

His new track draws from so many influences; Chicago ghetto house to tropical dubstep, straight techno house to more melodic, organic and harmonic sounds. Armand Van Helden, Green Velvet, DJ Rush, Underground Resistance, DJ Sneak, Basement Jaxx or Fatboy Slim can be named as references for the French producer. Don Rimini has assembled a rich pallet of sounds, moods and grooves for a stunning result.

“Nlarge Your Parties” refreshingly combines elements of both modern and classic techno music with an upcoming feel and a dancefloor attitude. An EP that is sure to break some legs on the dancefloor this summer!

We have a free track and a fantastic mix from Don Rimini.

Brisbane’s Loops of Fury are back with another Bastard-Fat mashup & rather than save it for their own summer sets they’ve decided to set it free as the second part in a series of mad-good re:fixes this year.

On Monday 26th they release their new single Rack Em / Pump Up on U&A Recordings exclusively on Beatport. The first, ‘Rack’Em’ is a low-slung, compulsive slice of electro-techno, hooky but never too obvious, and a perfect choice for those dark & dirty bigrooms. Second track ‘Pump Up’ is much more of a bruising affair … heading more in the direction of Boyz Noise & the french school of punk-electro, this is a peaktime banger sure to kick your face off.

We’re hitting the ground running tonight – so much great music and a lot of them are good mixes or shall we called them Mixtapes – even though we haven’t seen a tape since 1982.

We have a great mix from Zodiac Cartel it’s the first proper live DJ set to be made available as a full quality download, this warts & all mix (on two CDJs and a mixer) from the party hosted by Hungary’s ‘Breakbeat Massive’, was recorded at the first U&A Recordings club night at a packed Corvin Teto in the centre of Budapest.

We’ve had a busy month over at HBF Towers and we’ve been inundated with so much music we can’t keep up so we thought we would round up what the think is the best stuff gathering dust in our inbox.

First up, we have a new remix of the only decent track on the Chemicals Brothers new album, of course it is Swoon – done by Blaze Trip and has been caned by Kissy and others – bit of a banger. And there is a remix of a Kelis track too. Basstastic.

Brazilian electro outfit Pristine Blusters sent over some tracks to listen and were glad he did – looks like South America is the place to be at the moment. First up, is version from a Bernard Wright song from 1981. Sounds very disco, so if you liked Tommie Sunshine remix for Fake Blood’s song, I Think I Like It, you may love their remix as well. Also, theres a remix made in collaboration with a fella called DJ Mulher for Aloe Blacc’s song I Need a Dollar. If you’re into b-more-ish stuff, give-a-listen!
