FOREIGN BEGGARS -
FLYING TO MARS ft. DONAE’O (PROD. ALIX PEREZ)
(MAU5TRAP)

*‘The Uprising’ LP due for release in August*

Release Date: 2nd July 2012

Foreign Beggars dropped the first taste of their forthcoming album for mau5trap last month to widespread praise. The infectiously brazen swagger of ‘Palm Of My Hand’ was a bold statement of intent, and one which they are set to firmly substantiate with their next offering. Teaming up with once again with previous collaborator and revered producer Alix Perez as well as recruiting a guest appearance from multi-talented vocalist Donae’o, the boys clearly aren’t wasting any time and remain intent on upping the stakes further still as they unleash ‘Flying To Mars’.

Tuned in to a deeper but no less hard hitting frequency, ‘Flying To Mars’ finds them wiring their razor sharp rhymes to the otherworldly terrain of Perez’s production. Built on waves of deep sub bass undulations and skittering hi hats, the expansive production provides a blank canvas for Beggars to direct the mood of the track. Donae’o’s soft, reflective chorus acts as jumping off point for Orifice Vulgatron and Metropolis to swap verses, dexterously exploring themes of altered states of consciousness.

Donaeo – Big Ben Preditah RMX ft Scrufizzer & Mz Brat(Stream)

After sharing the official video for ‘Big Ben’ out on 22nd April, you can now check out the Preditah ft Scrufizzer & Mz Brat remix of Donae’o's next single ‘Big Ben‘.

Bringing some heavy wobbly basslines to the original, the Preditah ft Scrufizzer & Mz Brat remix takes things even further into bassline & Funky territory – check it out below!

Donae’o ft Belle Fisher – Big Ben (The Richard Branson Riddim)(Video)

‘Big Ben (The Richard Branson Riddim)’ is a bass-heavy club anthem, a sure-fire banger! Out on 23rd April on Zephron, Donae’o shows with ‘Big Ben’ just why he was nominated for a MOBO and remains one of the most well-respected rappers, producers and songwriters around.

Featuring Sky 1′s Got To Dance semi-finalist street-dancer, Belle Fisher, the video for ‘Big Ben’ shows off her on-point dance skills to full effect.

Toddla T – ‘Take It Back (Radio Edit)’ (Stream)

 
The first single to be taken from Toddla T’s forthcoming new album is the brilliant, Soul II Soul-esque ‘Take it Back’ featuring Shola Ama and J2K.

Since the release of his debut in 2009, Toddla has been working non stop on his second album ‘Watch Me Dance’ (Aug 2011). He’s been busy writing and recording in Sheffield, London and Jamaica, slotting in sessions between his mind-numbing DJ schedule and Radio 1 DJ slots.

In ensuring ‘Watch Me Dance’ was everything Toddla envisaged it could be he’s carefully selected an impressive line up of friends, peers and musical icons to guest vocal, co-produce, remix, co-write with him on the album. Names including previous collaborator Roots Manuva, fellow DJ, producer and remixer Skream, Ms Dynamite, Ross Orton, Wayne Marshall, Donaeo, Roisin Murphy and of course Shola Ama.

Remixes of ‘Take It Back’ will come from The 2 Bears, Dillion Francis, D1, Des Demure and DJ Q. – completing the re-introduction to our boy Toddla as he prepares to stamp his mark all over summer 2011.

Released by: Ninja Tune
