The reaction to dBridge’s last set in the Boiler Room was insane, and there’s no reason why this one shouldn’t warrant something similar. Incredible styles.
"As some of you may know I’m a big fan of Native Instruments Maschine. Over the last year or so that I’ve owned it I’ve been knocking up some hip-hop loops for fun, so rather than them gathering dust on my computer I thought I’d share some of them with you. I hope you like & feel free to share link."
TOTTE, Real name Totte Stankovich is a Swedish producer with a very vibrant take on music which is seemingly rooted within garage. His hyper, up-beat take incorporates glittering synths, skipped up beats and vocal clips and snippets that all seems to melt wonderfully in to this delightful take on a genre often more associated with far more moody or melancholy sounds.

Zul (Subvert HQ, Singapore) has been DJing and promoting parties in the Lion City since the 1990s, performing along side the likes of dBridge, DJ Friction, Joe Syntax, Stamina MC, John B, A-Sides, Pendulum, Cyantific, Sonic, London Elektricity as well as Logistics and Hospital Records' Chris Goss. Gigs-wise, its gone from Hong Kong (he spent time with the White Label crew in 2001), Jakarta to London (playing at the legendary Hospitality parties in Shoreditch, UK) with bits of radio (MediaCorp Radio's Lush 99.5FM Clubscape sessions, to be exact) and a release on Take Off Records squeezed in between.
When not busy with his day job as a journalist in Singapore, Zul also keeps it cutting edge away from the dance floor with the Subvert Sessions Podcast (download via subverthq.blogspot.sg), blending together leftfield and idiosyncratic beats of the 170bpm variety.
