Gabriel Heatwave’s UK Funky Bashment Mixtape MP3
It was only a matter of time before the hottest dance music in London, with its African influences and syncopated jangling, began drifting into reggae territory. On Gabriel Heatwave’s mix for XLR8R, he shows exactly how made for each other UK funky house and bashment are with a vast selection of Jamaica’s hottest deejays (i.e. our girl Natalie Storm, above) and Britain’s most solid emerging funky scions. Not to go heavy on the “heatwave” references but this mix is extra hot fire, let’s face it, you always wanted to hear “Ramping Shop” interpolated with DJ Shredda’s garage-esque synth stabs. Tracklist after the jump.

Video: Venom & Damage, “Deeper”
We’ve been burying our faces in UK funky house as of late, fiendishly copping anything we can find by Crazy Cousinz, Roska, Fuzzy Logik, Geeneus, NB Funky etc, yearning for its clacky percussion and liberating synth riffs. Brit duo Venom & Damage not only did the only version of Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex” that we can listen to without puking, they also made the single most next level video we have seen perhaps all year. It is an acid-neon wolf wandering the earth, skies and a crossword puzzle. It is to promote the song “Deeper” off their forthcoming mixtape, Maximum Carnage II (best) and as a piece of internet art, it is genius. We are considering moving to London based off this alone.
