Miike Snow - Back & Blue (Rascale's Mixable Intro Edit)

This tune got a lot of play due to its use in a Sony advert

Plus the album was hella popular around these parts so here is a simple edit that makes it that bit easier to mix:

Sly & The Family Stone - Family Affair (Rascale Xtra Beats Mix)

Happy New Year!

Had a stellar Christmas and new year with my family and friends. That's what it is all about!!

Daryl Hall & Chromeo - I Can't Go For That (Rascale's Xtra Beats Edit)

So as I said, I have been doing a whole load of production stuff lately.
I've got a new studio space (more info on that soon) and am utilizing it to the fullest.

Here's a little something that I knocked up recently. Taken from the brilliant series 'Live From Daryl's House' in which Daryl Hall invites friends to come over and jam with him, this is the Chromeo take on one of his more famous songs.

I have re-added the beats from the original to make it more mixable and dance floor friendly...definitely been working for me as a warm up tune.

So to celebrate the new year and to welcome back my return to this blog, here is a mix that I did of my favourite tunes from last year. Enjoy!

Hwen Rascale-The Mix Of The Year: 2008

New Year, New Track!

Right, one of my new years resolutions is definitely to keep this blog more up to date. I will aim for at least once a week, hopefully more.

To start it off here is a mash-up/blend (whatever they are called) of Biggie's 'Juicy' over the sample from 50 Cent's 'Ski Mask Way' as produced by Disco D (RIP).
