D’Julz’s second EP release of 2007 comes on Steve Bug’s Poker Flat recordings with two-tracker ‘Runny’ and ‘Sign’ - also including a remix of ‘Runny’ by Dan Berkson and James What.
‘Runny’ (already used by Locodice on his new Time Warp compilation mix) kicks-up a marching bottom-line throughout, whilst slightly wonky synths weave in and around - giving you a nicely tilted effect that takes a break in the middle and rolls ’til the end.. Imagine a slightly warped fairground in your head.. Dan Berkson and James What’s remix strips back the original and turns it into a slow-pushing, old-skool dubby groover.

On Curtis, his third major label album, rapper 50 Cent gives no quarter. As hard and brutally honest, yet musical and entertaining, as his first two albums–each of them #1 Pop, #1 R&B/Hip-hop and at least seven times platinum–50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) tells it like it is on Curtis and makes the resulting controversy pay as he heads “Straight to the Bank,” the title of the album’s first street track.
Curtis(Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), releasing June 25, 2007, features guest appearances by Eminem, Akon, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls.

Chris Fortier finally releases his long awaited debut solo album “As Long as the Moment Exists” via Australia’s finest independent label EQ Recordings. After a long list of accomplishments that has seen him do nearly everything possible in dance music, Chris conquors the final personal goal of an artist album of his own material. This comes straight from the heart and sees the man spread his wings to become a true artist beyond his fame as a DJ.
The Album took all of 2006 to complete, and all tracks have been tweaked and sublimely edited to ensure the best possible sonic journey into deep sounds. ”As Long as the Moment Exists” explores underground sounds and electronic influences, with an experimental twist. At a glance the excursion starts with ambient sound-scapes before shifting to mid-tempo territory and quirky electronic cuts with searing minimalistic dips through dubby tech house and twisted melodic trips, before winding things back with chilled out vibes to round off an accomplished foray into electronica.

Mark your diaries, cancel your plans – as Saturday 12th May heralds a very important date in The End’s clubbing calendar. James Holden launches his Border Community night at The End – joined in the main room by Nathan Fake doing a special live performance and Dominik Eulberg. James Holden’s previous sets at the club for Cocoon and Circo Loco have made The End’s main room seriously kick off – so to say we are excited about having him take over the club on a regular basis is an understatement.
If there’s one producer who can be relied on to buck the trends and do what the hell he likes, it has to be James Holden. In a current climate that seems obsessed with stripping tracks down to the bare bones, he manages to produce tunes with such depth that you could get lost in them -even equipped with an ordinance survey map, satellite navigation device and homing pigeon. In his DJ sets he rips tracks apart and splices them back together giving you snatches of what you thought you knew, before taking you somewhere else entirely.
