D-Skillz

This week its a bit of a cotched out flex, featuring D-Skillz, a Leicester producer/DJ who has worked with signed artists such as Aeroplane Dope and many more! Playing DnB/Dubstep as his main styles, he has gone all out on the hit "Missing" by Everything and the girl dubstep style, giving it some large bass and chilled out percussion hits this is an atmospheric masterpiece! Now he has been nice enough to fire us over a copy for you GuGu bloggers to enjoy!

The Kurly Hype!

This week we bring you an interview with a Lesta MC: Kurly Hypa. He has been killing the dance all over the country recently, and has even supported Caspa in Bournemouth! We asked him about how he got into MCing, what his influences are and what his plans are for 2011.

I'm kurly hypa, a 21 year old MC from Braunstone, Leicester.

I first got into mcing and writing lyrics in school, just because it was a thing that everyone did. I ran with it because I was getting better and better. My main influences would be a lot of uk hip hop people initially, Mystro, Jehst and Taskforce. Since i started taking writing grime seriously, I really admire Skepta's wit and simplicity but probably my biggest influence is Kano.

I consider myself a recording artist, and enjoy the process of writing and recording the most. I have had 4 solo mixtapes to date, I really enjoy the simplicity of recording what I want when I want. I work closely with dubstep producer Boy Kid Cloud a lot of the time and have featured on a few of his mixtapes and e.p releases. He is my tag team partner, I host a lot of his shows, and record a lot of work with him. We have had a number of bookings to date, from a residency at superfly in leicester to supporting Caspa at the O2 arena in Bournmouth. I've also worked with Subtactix from London and the Kutting Beatz crew from Loughborough.

I've got a few things coming up over the next few months, more stuff with boy kid cloud, and I'm working on a couple of different mixtapes. I'm going to try and shoot my first ever music video too for a track from my new mixtape "don dilla 3". To keep an eye on progress, add me HERE!

Kurly Hypa's new Mixtape "Don Dilla 3" can be found on his Soundcloud

Also we've got some GuGu official tings for you right here!

Breakdown!

Hey GuGu bloggers! This week we bring you Breakdown, an LA based duo who promise to rip you a new arsehole with their sharp synths and mean bass.

Their latest creation is a remix of the new Daft Punk track "Derezzed," the idea of which came from them being obsessed with Daft Punk, Disney and Tron :) The stabs and tech percussion in this track drive harder then a road raging redneck in an 18 wheeler and with a massive drop like this, your dance floor better be equipped with airbags!!

So without further ado, have a listen to this damn song! :D

Daft Punk - Derezzed (Breakdown Remix)

Also this week: another must hear from the Breakdown lads

Breakdown - Pet Monster

TOYC

Hey all, hope the snow isn't putting you off your raving too much! Definitely got the blow up airbed out down a hill yesterday! Staying classy.

This week we bring you TOYC aka Andy Sheen, a local Nottingham producer/DJ. We met Andy last year when he came and dropped a storming set at one of our events in Nottingham. He's sent us over his latest track which has been playing on my itunes a whole lot recently! His fast paced percussion, funky grooves and smooth bass remind me of L-Vis 1990. Download his latest track "See" here (and here only because it's a GuGu exclusive, baby!)

Download: TOYC - See

Definitely check out Andy's Soundcloud and have a listen to his other tunes too!
