London’s Boog-A-Loo Crew sent this gem over a couple of weeks ago and I slept on it due to an inbox backlog I’m struggling to keep on top of.
It’s a remix of DRT (you might recognise the guitar-based Ratatat sample) that injects skippy 2-step percussion into proceedings, with a mid-way interlude of infectious, low-slung pulses of bass. A charming rework:

An older Boog-A-Loo crew tune is ‘All Green’ – blending a laid-back hip-hop instrumental vibe with dubstep rhythms and, presumably, an Al Green sample. They’ve aptly coined the style ‘liquid-step’. Addictive listening and one of my favourite Boog-A-Loo productions yet:
