ABSTRAXION ‘MORIBAYASA’ DIFFERENT RECORDINGS


WE hadn’t heard of Abstraxion until we received a superb DJ mix from him a month or two back containing killer tracks from the likes of label mate The Hacker alongside plenty of his own similarly fl avoured productions. Tripped-out and tribal, his next single ‘Moribayasa’ (out 27th February) is the kind of solidly built warehouse music supported by the likes of


Weatherall and Alkan, while remixes from Argy, who gives it an Ibadan vibe, Brioski and DJ Kaos give it the gentle nudge it needs to succeed on pretty much any fl oor. A Frenchman based in London, Abstraxion – aka Harold Boué – is defi nitely one we’ll be watching eagerly in future.


DJ Q DJWEEKLY PODCAST #73


INSPIRED by the sound of UK garage, and learning to DJ and produce in his teens, DJ Q was Radio 1Xtra’s youngest presenter when he joined in 2004 - you can still hear him from 1am to 4am on a Wednesday morning. Helping pioneer the garage off-shoot bassline, he’s become the sound’s leading player, recording an Essential Mix and remixing underground hits like ‘Woo Riddim’. If you like his


podcast, which takes in everyone from Mosca to Maya Jane Coles, check his recent album ‘DJ Q Enters the Unknown’ on Unknown to the Unknown or superb excursion into two- step, ‘Brandy and Coke’, out this month on Local Action.
