Feeling Good is the second collaboration between two kings of the beats and bassfunk scene; Mooqee & Pimpsoul. Delivered by the label that defined the sound; Bombstrikes. The previous release from the pair was something of an underground smash, holding the top spot on Beatport’s Hip Hop charts for over 150 days consecutive as well as making into the finalists for the influential Beatport Music Awards. Feeling Good looks like taking it further with over 150k views on youtube so far and airtime already from BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra, Capital, Kiss and XFM. With Dj support coming from Utah Saints, Danny Byrd, Drumsound, Jaguar Skillz, Krafty Kuts and many more. Plus it got a great 9/10 review in DJ mag .
The incredibly talented Bianca Gerald delivers the wonderfully soulful vocals. Having worked alongside the likes of Jessie J and Blessed Beats. Remixes come from Tantrum Desire (Technique Records’ artists is one of the hottest names on the DnB and Dubstep scene at the moment topping DnB sales charts including recent no.1 on beatport), Rory Lyons (Sugarbeat Records and Cassette Jam fame), Herbgrinder (name to watch out for and has been picked up by the likes of Ministry of sound for remix work).
Our personal fave is of course from RORY LYONS MIX … look out for more on this excellent label in the very near future!

Well what can I say, another year has almost drawn to a close and with it 12 months of amazing music. We’ve had high’s and low’s, thrill’s and spills, but none the less it’s been a hell of a year…
This is the year that we saw a post hardcore front man become the crown prince of dubstep, we lost some of music’s brightest stars (RIP DJ Mehdi, Gill Scott-Heron & the original don Mr. Jimmy Saville) and bass music rocketed into the collective conscious of the nation as both DJ Fresh & Nero secured the covered #1 spot.
Steve Angelo got caught miming, Justin Biebers balls dropped, Korn came out of retirement and Pete tong had to get a restraining order placed on Shara Nelson of Massive Attack after she claimed to be his secret wife…
2011 was an interesting year for me personally also, it saw the start of another musical adventure in the way of joining the Superfy Family which through many influences saw me say goodbye to Drum & Bass and embrace a wider spectrum of music in my club sets that showcases the very best in UK Bass.
With 2012 fast approaching, and my label, Mugen Audio Recordings due to release it’s first ever track in the new year, I can only hope that next year bring as much excitement and change as the last.
So in no particular order here are some of my highlights from the year that was, and those to watch for the year to come…
Deadboy – Wish U Were Here [Numbers]
Spectr – Dance 4 Me [RKS]
Arkist + Kidkut – One Year Later [Hot Flush]
Damu – L.O.V.E [Keysound]
Star Slinger – Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins Rework) [White]
Mosca – Bax [Numbers]
Joe Goddard Feat. Valentina – Gabriel (Seiji Remix) [Greco-Roman]
Scuba – Never [Hot Flush]
Rustie – Surph [Warp Records]
Bwana – Baby, Let Me Finish [White]
Dusty Kid – Chentu Mizas [Boxer Recordings]
Wishing everyone a happy, safe and enjoyable Christmas + New Year.
Stay Safe!

Well what a crazy ass year we’ve had. Dubstep went back underground (Well the real stuff did…) I rediscovered house music.. (Or house music got good again….) We lost one of dance music’s finest (R.I.P. DJ Medhi) & Disco edits crashed into specific bar sets I performed with my good friend Sleazy Wonder.
Here’s my take on the records that rocked my world in 2011… (In NO particular order)
DeadBoy – Here 4 U
Lil Silva – Seasons
Sbtrkt – Wildfire
Jon Convex – Convexations

2011 has been another amazing year for the underground music. weather that be House, Future Garage, post Dubstep (What people label it as. I call it new music, and its bloomin brilliant!
I’ve been out to some ridiculous places as well this year. Warehouse Project Storer Street Car park tops the  venues I’ve visited. Greg Wilson at Bestival was a big DJ Set Highlight. Chic ‘Live’ at the Warehouse Project were amazing! Kasabien at Nottigham Trent arena. The Detonate Indoor Festival at Rock City, Stealth & Rescue Rooms was one of the most impressive gigs I’ve ever done, and been involved with…
The list is endless….. Roll on 2012!!
Peace & Fucking

Greetings Citizens.
We are all living in the age, in which the pursuit of all values other than; money, success, fame, glamour, has either been discredited or destroyed.
It’s been a while since the last time I put digital pen to paper and wrote an update for Superfly City. The last few weeks have been interesting if not borderline schizophrenic in nature.
The start of October marked the official beginning to another season of clubbing in our fair city, and with 3000 extra bodies crowding the streets of Leicester there was a lot of hype surrounding the unofficial season launch of Fresher’s Week. Wandering around and engaging with the goings on of various clubs, nights and concepts really hit home a powerful message…
…and how disappointing that message was…
We are suffering hard times as a country, a lack of direction, a lack of vision, a lack of ideas. There is an overwhelming sense of apathy across people of all ages, and it now seems the same apathy has bled across the borderlines and into club land.
It has always disappointed me that concepts like ‘The porn party’ or ‘battle of the halls / sexes / eye colours’ (take your pick) succeed often at the sacrifice of intellectual musical pursuits.
Admittedly it’s not just these drab A-typical student orientated events that are slowly signalling a final curtain call for the underground music scene, but it’s certainly not doing us any favour’s that’s for sure.
From a popular perspective Underground music has never been so widely on the gestalt conscious of the masses, but yet it’s a hollow conscious rooted in lip service ideals.
It’s suddenly cool to like angry dirty dub step, clear cutting house beats, or frenetic drum and bass but no one seems to want to support the roots of this culture.
We are at the stage where a relatively unknown pair of music student’s from Leicester are storming around the official chart like it’s their own private sandbox and yet, how many 18 year olds do you think could accurately distinguish an Amen Break from their breakfast? I’m not a betting man but I’d happily say not many.
Where has the intelligence gone in intelligent dance?
I think it’s time the hive opened up their minds as well as their ears to a whole new world of possibilities and experiences the vast spectrum of music can deliver to you. One day, maybe not immediately, but soon; the scene will go through a down swing and Music will be the order of business as far as the recession chopping block goes.
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
- Albert Einstein
To end in true SFC blog style; here are a few tracks that have got my toes tapping recently.
Until next time folks.

JOE GODDARD FEAT. VALENTINA – GABRIEL (SEIJI REMIX)
