Local Love part. 2

We really need to start featuring the 'local love' post a lot more here on Smidgem. Considering the amount of up and coming talent that is coming through the ranks in Australia is so impressive!

First up we have Canberra based Dj/Producer Offtapia. He would have to be one of the most impressive Djs to watch live, he reads the crowd so well every set is better than the last. Big things to come so stay tuned for plenty more from this guy.
Here is a very bouncy bootleg that Offtapia recently sent me.

Martin Solveig - Hello (Offtapia's Hello Hot Mess bootleg)

Still staying in the nations capital (Canberra) we have Team Wing on remix duties for The Aston Shuffle. This track starts out as a super mellow house jam with an epic vocal throughout but once that drivey bassline comes in..... Well listen for yourself.

The Aston Shuffle - Start Again (Team Wing re-edit)

Now we head over to the beachside town of Wollongong where these two kids have been making plenty of waves. Narrator & Ruslan teamed up to bring us this monster of a track, The breakdown is way cool, i found myself with this on repeat for ages..

Lil Muma - Lip Gloss (Narrator & Ruslan remix)

Finally we head down to Melbourne to check out some fresh dubstep from Zayler. This kid is responsible for bringing dubstep to the streets down there with hosting the now legendary parties known as Voltage. Recently hosting heavy hitters Flux Pavillion and Doctor P. Borgore due to play very soon.

Be sure to check out his blog too Daft Who? big ups.. Here we have his brand new tune 'Scorpion'. Its so bouncy and aggresive, I've had this on repeat while writing this whole post if that means anything to you..

Zayler - Scorpion

Team Wing

Its always good to support the local up and coming aussies. Team Wing have been turning heads for a while now with thier DJ sets, especially in thier home town of Canberra. The boys have been busy in the studio aswell, having already released an EP (which you can grab in the iTunes store) and having a slew of remixes under the belt. Here's a couple that really caught my attention.

Sandro Silva & Anjiro Rijo [Dem Slackers remix (Team Wing edit)]

Ralvero vs. Dada Life - Hand Guns On The Run (Team Wing Booty)

The boys were featured in the 'Local Love' post a short while back. Read more about them and grab some more tracks here.

Here is a taste of some fresh aussie talent that will bring the new era of electro to this amazing country.

First up we have the Bareback Djs. These two pro surfers now base themselves in San Diego, California and have been destroying partys ever since they got there. Be sure to check their blog follow the fish. Love the kookaburra sample they used throughout this track

Bareback Dj's - Mating Call by Bareback djs

Team Wing originated as a joke, a group of people who paid tribute to two things. 1. winging it and 2. the wingman. You can easily 'get the fuck down' to the chunky bassline with this bomb..

Team Wing - GTFD (Original Mix)

Ravel is Patrick Bellamy's solo work. Being a member of Tap Tap the kid definitly knows how to have a good time and can usually be found raving out to intense dance music like Boys Noize, Proxy & Surkin. So naturally he took the next step to producing his own brand of distorted noise..

You can also check out Tap Taps mixtapes here.
