For years there has been nothing – i mean literally no interesting music/ production coming out of Hamburg, germany, which used to be one if not THE music capitol of the country. There are always certain shifts towards places – remember Bristol in the mid nineties, Frankfurt in the late 80ies, early 90ies etc. Anyway its hard to keep up with Berlin these days, with all the concentrated talent there. So Shifty are hailing straight out of Hamburg and these guys are simply doing some fine enjoyable remixes. Especially their Major Lazer/ Nina Skye remix caught my ear. Although i didnt want to post another Major Lazer remix, a least for long now, this one is hard to resist. Sounds like a proper 60ies Ska original. Lovely… as well as the other stuf they sent through. All enjoyable – grab their material and make sure to feed your ipods. They will appreciate it.
