Carl Craig, Todd Terje, Erol Alkan... It's a goddamn remix frenzy from some of the finest electro producers out there. Go Jonny B Go!

Deep as you like, we've got Nautilius giving us the lowdown this week. It's nice. Very nice. Laura says it's as good as Chakalaka.

People, say hello to Will and Stiff. Hailing from Moomu Records, they've brought rare groove and lashings of soul to the party. All hail.

**You may have got a trimmed down version of this already - we had server trouble. Come get the full length version here and now**
Holy Cow whatcha doin now! Mr Double Down introduces himself with a double dose of funk. Another member of the Better Days crew, you can catch him playing last Saturday of every month at Brown Sugar.

Technical troubles have thwarted my efforts since Christmas, but the Mac is Back so in celebration I've laid down some of the tracks that made me want to build this site in the first place. In an unprecedented gesture of goodwill, I've also uploaded the Frankie Valli edit so that you too can listen to it on your bike and nearly fall off in sheer sickening bliss. Good times are here again people.

More sweet soul music from the Moomu Records posse this week, picking up from where they left off last month, and taking us on a spiritual trip from which we may never return. Lord have mercy.

Kit Lebone steps into the arena on a "balearic-slo-mo-disco-cosmic-spacerock tip". Far out sounds from some underground names that are gonna have you doing some background internet research for sure. It's a winner - feel the welcoming Dang embrace.

Dr No has taken the 'competitive brother' angle and applied it to crate digging for this weeks installment - for more real soul music head down to the next Better Days @ Brown Sugar, 31st March.
We're getting hammered by downloads and storage space at the minute, so the sad day is dawning when older archive mixes are gonna have to come down - watch this space for a Hosting Fundraiser in May.

Mr Double Down comes through with the third in his Funk series - check out Better Days for future Funk And Soul nights in and around London.

This Mix Was Recorded From Original 45s Hence The Grainy Sound In Places

Ah yeah, Mr Jonny back on the ones and twos, delivering what we've come to expect - a full spectrum of fine, fine tunes. Another shout out for the party - 18th May - get your name on the list and bring the masses.

So, it's a short sharp one this week from yours truly - all about the riddim really, except when it drops like a mother sucker for Claude VonStroke. Holy moley. Were gonna carry on harking on about this party, so spread the word and get your peoples' names on the list and we'll shut up.

People say hello to The Black Neon, bringing his own brand of leftfield eclecticism to the proceedings. Highly highly enjoyable - drop in and check out some of his own penned number over here. Welcome to the gang.

So, as the big day approaches Dr No gives us some big soul sounds to count us down - I'm personally still gobsmacked by the Dierdre Wilson tune. Rally the troops for one last push towards the Brixton summit - Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

Nice one to all who came down for the Friday shindig - fine fine times indeed. We made enough cash to keep this sucker running for another 6 months, so expect another party about then. In the meantime, here's newcomer Sareeta Domingo with some fine west coast sounds - welcome to our world Sareeta.

It's a special one this week - like some sort of foreign exchange programme, we have Matt Cooper from the Internet Music Programme on guest spot, possibly wearing one of those fluorescent italian rucksacks. In return, I've helped shape the Jess and Anna mix currently up on theirs. It's a double whammy that should make up for last weeks silence.

"Just like all of the other episodes of Internet Music Programme there is a theme, and the theme for this mix is: remix. All of the songs are remixes, that's either quite fitting for a guest episode, or very tenuous."

Back to the Funk with Mr Double Down completing his Trilogy (plus one) - mmmmmmMama

"This Funk And Soul Mix Was Recorded And Ripped From My 45s Collection Hence The Raw Sound In Places
PLEASE SEED
Hope You Enjoy It And Feel Free To Leave Comments / Requests
Check out www.betterdayspromotions.co.uk for more mixes and info on our upcoming soul, funk and disco nights in and around London."

More reggae grooves from the MoomuSound crew - mmmmtasty.

Bosh! In there with the ADDJs. It's been a long time coming, for Dang! and the ADDJs, but it's worth the wait. I'm sworn to secrecy on the hidden Mika tune, but there's several gems beside that one, mark my words. yak yak yak.

Well hello. This week it's me. It's a cheeky one, firstly cos there are some shoddy half-baked mixes in there and secondly cos there's a bunch of tracks I may get in trouble for posting - for the love of god, if you're into the Hatchback/Prins Thomas track as much as I am go and buy it when it's released. Oh, and it's a flatwarming downbeat mix. Upbeat mix to come.

It's Mr Jonny. Say no more.

Mr Double Down shows us what he's been digging up recently. Then tells us about it. Through music. Like this:

Yep, the shelves are up and the sink unblocked - time to rock out to some squelchy electro sounds. For more in the same vein check out this Hard Fi remix that didn't quite make the cut - pretty massive on dancefloors right now.

Further Dubbism for your listening pleasure from the Moomu Records gang. Head over to their site to hear their new single 'Accident Causer' - good god it's a goodun.

In his own words: "Its the other, heavier 'Deficit' - perhaps darker wing to the Attention Deficit DJ's that brings you this months mixicle"

Wil says:
"It's a double whammy this week - Matt from the Internet Music Programme begifts us with a slice from his cake, while I return the favour with a slice for him - head over there for this and more. Electro continues to be the sound of the 'summer', unless one of the crate diggers wants to pipe up and prove us wrong. Hm?"

Matt says:
"blurb:
I hope you like dance music, because that's what you're going to get. Something old (Kraftwerk), something new(Stronger remix), something borrowed (Suburban Knights), nothing blue. Credit to Pookie Wonder for alerting me to the Hard Fi track. And as usual the chopped up remix of a Kanye rip-off sounds 10x better. Turn it up. Then go to www.internetmusicprogramme.com and listen to some other podcasts, they're grreeeat.

Should be everything, give me a shout if you need anything else
Cheers
matt"

With a tear in the eye, we say goodbye to Mike as he sets off on a global trot. His parting gift is a short burst of genius - a medley of organ-donor sounds which comes out sounding really, really fucking good. Take care dude.

So it's a big weekend coming up:

- Twix Triplepack on Friday at 19:20 Clerkenwell

- Fat Badger party on Saturday in Notting Hill.

Can you dig it?

Here's some sweet sweet reggae music from Dr No to brighten your days.

So, the time has come. You may have noticed things slowing down recently - I'm leaving the country, quit the job and sold the camel. It's been nearly two year of fine tunes, and a whole lot of big-ups are owed to the Dang DJs for consistently excellent mixes. It's been a real pleasure playing this stuff out - we may well be back in some form or another, but in the meantime here's a bootilicious last gasp to tie you all over.

Not the re-boot we promised, but I'm back and considering getting this thing going again - DJs, I'll be giving the shout out soon enough. In the meantime, here's a mix I did for my man Denver who's running the london marathon and needed motivational tunes. Sponsor him here and watch this space for Dang Redux!

New server, new site, and a new start. To celebrate, here's a 3-hour compendium of upbeat tracks from previous mixes, again aimed to motivate the marathon runners. DJs, we're off again - send em in, though we're looking to post on a monthly basis now.

"Electronic soul stuff. Listen and then go directly to Internet Music Programme and listen to some other quality podcastings." So says our man Matt.

Yes yes y'all, you know Dang! is back when a Mr Jonny mix comes through your digital letterbox.

Tune in to the sounds of our newest member, Trol23, who brings us a spectrum of British and US beats. Welcome to the fold.

Yes, the sun's cracking through and the clouds are breaking - things are starting to come together. Here's one for the garden.

Yes, we've been slack and yes we could do better, but summer's here and there's other things on our mind.

To make up for it here's Mr Jonny with one that's "definitely for the weekend".

Wanna catch up live and direct - head to The Fad on 1st August at the Macbeth on Hoxton Street, 8pm till late.

Electro sounds to soothe the non-summer blues.

Our main man from the Internet Music Programme stumps up a fine electronically-driven selection, upping the stakes and making me reckon I should get off my ass and get digging.

Just stick it on and don't worry about it.
