Soulful Vibes is a music collective based in Liverpool.
They play creamy disco love bombs and host parties at places like Vinyl, Geisha & The Magnet Liverpool.
You can catch them at the next CMYK party night – Liverpool University Guild on Friday 23rd May.
I’ve been glued to Sean’s Experiments In Disco mixtape for the last month…
Check it out
Soulful Vibes – ExperimentsInDisco Mixtape

Apology’s Justice, but this clip doesn’t show what a superb piece of design there latest video is, a cross between the cinematic intro’s and outro’s on all your favourite films and shows.
It’s not there first classic video either check out the T-shirt homage: Justice – D.A.N.C.E and a nifty remix by those crazy Canadian’s MstrKrft who need a few vowels from Carol Vorderman.
And finally one from the bottom and two from the top the classic, one for lad’s and certain ladies: Simian Mobile Disco – Hustler.
Estaw has been popping up with some quality remixes and cuts recently, most of which can be found at his home from home blog, the infamous Palms Out Sounds.
He hits the UK record shops with what is possibly his first full 12″ release
this week with the pretty dope Break It Down.
The release comes with a strong array of remixes from the likes of Herve, Detboi and Chew Fu his palms out bro.
But despite the heavy weights its the original that does it for me and is getting the serious CMYK love.
This is fresh rap rave … an adventure into the dope side of house.

Estelle – American boy (Estaw American Grill fix)

Its good to see Chew Fu giving his bro a hand…
He even includes his own remix on a mix he recently did
Have you recently helped your bro’s out?
What best remix you have done for your bro’s?
There is a pretty amazing line up of artists coming our way at the end of May…
Not only is the big CMYK party at the University Guild on 23rd
but the lucky people of Liverpool also have Sound Week starting Tuesday 27th May.
No doubt we’ll do a fuller blog post here later the time but what i can tell you is Santogold is hitting town that week, hosting Alma de Cuba on Wedneday 28th.
The New York based performer who is hotly tipped this year to break through is
about to release her album mid May and her single LES Artistes is already making waves.
For your pleasure we have the always good xxxchange doing the duties on the remix.
The mad decent camp have done it again. South Rakkas Crew release a quality dancehall track this week with a criminal number of top draw remixes from the likes of fake blood, jokers on the scene and the mighty Boy 8 Bit
CMYK loves this tune and we are even feelin the cover art for the track.
Check out the mad decent blog for the heavy DJ Sega remix
And check this link care of Discodust for
South Rakkas Crew – Mad Again (Boy 8 Bit remix) mp3
Cover art is fading as fast as vinyl and CDs i guess….
once we all go digital will we need it anymore?
Will bloggers make their own cover art?
Will I become totally digital like the music and sleep on a bed made of silicon?
Can i live on electricity?
Answer me dam it!!
The mighty pase rock former five deez front man hits Liverpool next month
See the super fresh rap raver on 9th May 2k8 at the always messy evol night in Korova.
Five Deez was always on the edgier side of the indie rap scene.
Creating some prime crossover tracks around the early naughties and was a frequent collaborator with the “Crack Mole’s” downtempo favourites Nujabes
Since then he has been branching into the bmore and rap rave scene
with devastating effect.
Last years Lindsey Lohan track slayed many a dancefloor and we can never
forget “So Fucking Disco”.
Also check out some of his spank rock team ups
CMYK salutes you Pase Rock.
Bird Peterson is a ginger guy from Austin, Texas. Not really a good combination is it Gingerness + burning sun.
He’s also a quality house music producer with a bit of reputation for giving rap tracks a bmore reshake.
So i guess BP + The Who may sound like another no win match.. wrong wrong wrong…
Check out this monster dancfloor damager… this is a massive CMYK favourite.
The who – Baba O’Riley (Bird Peterson Remix)
and speaking of Bird and have spoken of Cadence Weapon recently here is
Cadence Weapon – House Music (Bird Peterson Southbound remix)
Its a really good week for releases. Guess you can see that from the huge number of posts we’re churning out at the moment…
Anyway big big cheer for Sam Sparro – Black and Gold.
This is so slick the vinyl has to be carried with non-slip gloves.
Heres the video
And here my friends is the Phones remix for you..
Sam Sparro, “Black & Gold” (Phones As Hard As Diamonds Radio Edit) [YSI]
Expect the freelove guys to be hammering this all across the CMYK dancefloor
That was just plain weird. I was sitting here thinking I gotta hook you up with this great Twelves remix when my man Daghaus sent me an email saying “listen to the twelves remix of that black kids track, das goot yah!”
Man the german is never wrong, well about things that remind him of the Cure but anyway check this remix out.
Black Kids – I’m not gonna teach.. (the twelves remix)
and while your there get your ears around some more Twelves gear
Theatre of Disco – YOA (Twelves Remix)
And heres a youtube video mash up for NYPC – Get Lucky (The twelves remix)
This track was definitely made in a volcano cause it is pure FIRE! Wiley has hit the record button and laid down some serious heat!
This is getting some serious play from DJs across the globe, including our
very own Freelove collective. (Although the video is a bit sucky)
Currently available at JUNO and other good online retailers make sure you pick it up soon
and take RapRave to the top of the hit parade.
and a cheeky little mp3 is floating around here too
(thanks Discobelle)
This is it. The summit of hipsterism. The peak of happenningness. The skins tour comes to the Nation Liverpool Friday 25th April.
With the caravan of cool comes a line up so immense they will be sold out of white raybans in top shop for weeks … we get to hear Crystal Castles ,Ladyhawke and more.
Plus some slim young thing with tight jeans and a lot of hair gel is gonna be picked
for the program itself… fine fine fine.
I had heard the teenagers were playing this gig and I got all sweaty in the dark places but turns
out the rumours are wrong if you check their myspace listings
Oh well I still feel in the mood to post my favourite Teenagers remixes

CMYK are giving some serious freelove to this remix of the chart smashing nu soul track

Don’t know if your aware of this phenomonoonmonmem but the latest craze for the kids is rickrolling, basically get your stereo and go and disturb the peace by singing St.Helen’s best ever pop prince’s hit Rick Astley – “never gonna give you up” …..very random but hey the we love it!
I think I may start it as a chant in the Kop at the Liverpool v Arsenal champions league quarter final next Tuesday!
The album “LP” dropped last year on the Young Turks label. Since then Holy Fuck (sorry mum!) have been remixing, touring and generally getting about.
They are on their way to Liverpool Korova this weekend to play the ever joyous evol night, Friday 5th April 2008, and the CMYK gang are hoping to stick our heads round the door to check these young rogues out.
To get you lot in the mood here are some remixes floating
in the air that CMYK have pulled together for you
MIA – Paper planes (holy fuck remix)
Radiohead – Nude (holy fuck remix)
I think you might be able to call there work challenging. If you want more sounds from HF then the boys at musickontrol might be able to help 🙂
Those Philedelphian ravers Pink Skull are dropping a new album soon on the Free New Projects label.

We do like a bit of Pink Skull round here. A big favourite of ours is the Bump remix they did for SpankRock
