Famous Eno x Gypsy Riddim

Today sees Famous Eno’s second solo release on Mixpak and this one is not to be slept on. Gypsy Riddim is a heavy hitting dancehall riddim with Jamaican up-and-comer Vyral joining UK favourites Serocee, Trigganom and Rubi Dan on the vocal cuts. It’s hard to choose a favourite on here as they are all strong but after the friendly b2b we had with Serocee at our birthday party last Saturday Topatop hits home for us – we dread to think what would happen in a serious clash! Stream the tracks below and support another great release from Famous Eno and Mixpak here or here.

Rubi Dan x Serious Slam (Feat. Juxci D)

#BashmentGeneral Rubi is back with Serious Slam where he and Juxci team up to take on Leftside’s wicked Bong Diggy Bang riddim. It starts off with a bashment cover of Busta’s Serious before Rubi and Juxci spit that gal-a-bend over goodness. It’s slackness goodness done only the way Rubi does. Make sure you keep an eye on his soundcloud as he is constantly updating it with new stuff. You should check out the riddim mix here as it features great cuts from Leftside, Konshens and Busy Signal amongst others.

HDD House Party #1

HDD House Party, the first in a series of Podcasts from Hipsters Dont Dance has finally landed. Our first ever one is the Hip Hop edition. We are joined by Jamie from Effect Mode and Nick from Yo Mama for a chat and a live guest mix from each of them. Jamie’s Mix highlights the Boom Bap sound that influenced his new hip hop project Effect Mode mixed with some of the new stuff that he is into as well as some exclusive Effect Mode tracks, whilst Nick’s mix highlights the different faces of the successful monthly club night Yo Mama. Hosts Kazabon and Hootie Who explore the hip hop that influenced them, whether it be the soulful stuff or the Ragga Hip Hop sub genre respectively.

Catch Effect Mode at Hipsters Dont Dance February Session this Saturday to hear tracks from the project performed live for the very first time!

In keeping with the tradition of that era, you may be hearing some hiss and pops in the recordings. Just imagine you shoved a tape into your laptop.
