After living under a rock for the past few months and basking in the glory of their last remix of DJ Zinc’s ‘Killa Sound’ (Bingo Bass) and a few other lovely little promo mixes, HeavyFeet consisting of beat making duo Mike and James from Manchester have returned to give you, the devoted fan, a little something special.

Under Stamp! Beats, the exciting new music label from the two, HeavyFeet will be releasing 12 singles, each comprising of an original vocal track, a club mix from the magical fingers tips of HeavyFeet and one guest mix, over the next twelve months.

The original of each monthly release will be given away for free (yes you heard correct, FREE!) for your listening pleasure through a variety of online resources where you can download and give some very nice feedback on and share with your mateys.

The first, eagerly anticipated track from the label is ‘I Spy..’ featuring fellow Mancs Virus Syndicate (Planet MU/Contagious). It’s a hip hop one with string elements and Nika D, JSD and Goldfinger stamp their mark on it with their rapid fire lyrics that Virus usually brings to the table.

 Contrary to the title its not about sitting in a car playing I spy something beginning with ‘s’ (the most boring game ever invented). They twitter on about everyday life for young people like selling drugs and babies dropping but this all seems a bit repetitive, same old hardships that are broadcasted in most hip-hop tracks. However it is inventive and hard hitting in parts, “the baby’s mum she couldn’t take it, started taking it out on the baby, beatings daily, shocking, now the babies in the coffin.”
        
Jumping straight onto the next one and into a harder club track with a difference, HeavyFeet electrifies the original mix using a few well chosen chops of the vocal sample. Leaving the strings behind it picks up a kicking drum and percussion pulsating bass leaving your ears buzzing and satisfies the little rave monster in all of us. I spy with my little eye, a club banger.

Guest remixer, AC Slater (Trouble and Bass) from across the pond takes the original into a more dub-infected direction.

Surprisingly, it’s not up to the usual Slater standard, a tad minimal I would say. Holding onto those all important strings, Slater takes a turn into bass heavy, warp sounds but could’ve taken it a gear up the grime chart.

Apart from that it is pretty good but would probably sound better with the diseased trio spitting over it.

The label launches on the 5th April and ‘I spy…’ will be available for download from their blog.
