Oi! Where’s myyyy Monkey?

Next up is a heavily hyped release from a South London up-and-comer, Deadboy. ‘U cheated’ is a stuttering 2-step gem, driven by a delicious r&b vocal and a subtle lick of UK Funky tribalism to the percussion. Pick up the whole three track EP here:

Deadboy – U Cheated [pelski highly recommends]

This track pushes a soulful vibe with a swirling diva vocal snippet and bubbly low-slung garage bass and 2-step.

Bored of student dubstep DJs ending every set with Caspa’s ‘Where’s My Money’? Well this hilarious parody is for you – it’s by Parker, who gave us the inspired dubstep remix of James Brown. And funnily enough, taking the piss never sounded so good. Post-garage percussion skips around a comical rant about the state of the ‘monkey business’, before dropping into Jungle Book’s ‘I Wanna Be Like You’. It shouldn’t work, but it does:

Scuba has had an excellent year, and now he’s handed out his latest remix for free – and thanks go out to xlr8r for this one. The Hotflush boss brings more of those energetic 2-step beats, this time gently dancing around a bleak, humming soundscape of echoing sub bass:

Joker brings his now trademark sawtooth bass to Riton and Primary 1′s follow up to their smash collaboration ‘Who’s There’:

Untold has had a big year t00, recently he dropped one of my highlights of the last few months, the weird and wonderful Gonna Work Out Fine EP. Below he remixes a quartet of female organ players from Manchester:

Sisters of Transistors – Solar Disco (Untold Remix)

Here Appleblim and Komonazmuk brings some ethereal dub-techno, with snapping hi-hats and driving bass. Also check out their collaboration on their remix of The Black Ghosts’ ‘Full Moon’:
