A very kind person recorded FM4´s “2007on45″ rundown and cut it into pieces: find the mixes of DJ Phekt (Reggae/HipHop) and DJ Plak (Dubstep) on Megaupload:

77KlashMadAgainRMX

Mad Decent posted this bad bad 77Klash (”The Swarm” or “Notorious”, anyone?)-remake of “Mad Again” yesterday. And when Diplo says

BUMBUMBUMBUMBUMBUMBUMBUMBUBMUBMUBMBUBMBUMFIRE-PRETTY HEAVY 140 BPM STUFF - GO AMERICA!

you know what to do. Download the shit.

P. S. Also watch out for the South Rakkas Crew “Mad Again” RMX-12″ which will drop on MD in January.

Tomorrow On Radio FM4: “2007on45″

Friday, December 28th, 2007

FM42007on45

Like every year, this year, too, FM4 - by far the best German-speaking radio channel - presents the hottest club tunes of the year by letting each of the relevant FM4-DJs spin a 45-min.-mix with his/her favourite bangers.

Looking at the already published tracklists, I esp. recommend listening to and/or taping the mixes of Beware, Functionist, Phekt and Plak who will cover a nice range from Reggae and Dancehall (thank God they kicked out Bassrunner - even though I really rate their latest riddim-release, the “Ghetto Ride” - who fucked up the reggae-mix for the past few years) to Dubstep, Grime and Hiphop.

“2007on45″ will be on air tomorrow, Saturday, the 28th of December, from 5 pm (C.E.T.) to 1 am of the following day.

These are the scheduled times for the DJs named above: Beware: 6.30 pm, Phekt: 8.00 pm, Functionist: 9.30 pm & Plak: 11.45 pm.

Catch the stream here (you will need e.g. Flip4Mac if you´re not running a Windows OS) and see the tracklists right after flipping the page:
