DJ Blakey
'If You See Me' EP
(Slime Recordings)

1.If You See Me
2.Back Then

Cat.No : SLM035

"One of the UK’s finest and most enlightened digital labels" - Loudat

"Always a haven for upcoming talent, Slime Recordings continue to generate heat" - Juno Download


Slime is back with another slice of pure sunshine for you from the London-based producer DJ Blakey. A former DMC Champion appearing regularly on BBC Radio 1Xtra, he makes his production debut on the label with an astonishngly accomplished pair of garage anthems.

'If You See Me' comes pre-packed with real swagger, gossamer keys overlaying a laconic downtempo rhythm. Clipped vocals filter through the beat as bubbling percussion turns up the heat on this sophisticated roller. As close to garage perfection as you could ever hope for.

'Back Then' flips the script to take us on a classic 4X4 bumpy garage ride. One of the most effortlessly funky basslines you'll hear all year underpins proceedings, with devestating implications for dancefloors worldwide. Watch as waists wind up within seconds of it dropping.

More Slime Recordings today from London's DJ Blakey with his 2 track "If You See Me EP". Due for release on the 9th July, the title track kicks things off with deep vibe garage stepper. Fairly stripped back to start, with a few pots and pans working their way into the track followed by some summer infused chords and a chopped up vocal sitting nicely over the top. On the flip we have "Back Then" which get's our vote. Old school 4x4 garage business with a real bounce to it.

SLIMEY GARAGE GROOVE -Turntablist geek and former UK DMC Champ DJ Blakey fuels the flames of the Slime Records steam train with this percussive Garage groove.
DMC champs out DJing must still get grief from pissed up Donna’s screaching:

“It’s my mates burfday play some Black Eyed Peas -No?- you’re a SHIT DJ”

Perhaps the DMC and ITF provide you with a gold badge or framed certificate you can whip out and use to bitch slap fuckwits.

Straight into the UKG Top 20 on Juno. Big ups to all those supporting!

As featured on NewsicMoos : http://t.co/RBtSH7Sl
DJ Blakey this week drops his debut 'If You See Me' on Slime Recordings, a label we recently discovered (sometimes even we're slow on the uptake!). The London producer, and former DMC Champion don'tcha know, delivers a smooth edge to his garage production, filled with soulfulness via the chopped vocal and cathartic use of synth. The drop is heavy, ready for the dance floor, geared for peak-time skanking. If like us, you dig soulful production within garage/bass/house, keep your tabs alive for Slime. Well worth checking!

Nice review of this EP on Juno:
Known primarily as a DMC champ and 1Xtra regular, DJ Blakey steps up to the mixing desk in style on these two severe funky/garage-leaning bangers. While the title tune goes in for some vogueish detuning of vocals, astral pads and some crisp, 2-stepping beats, "Back Then" is a more upfront pre-garage house workout, with some pleasing touches of Todd Terry in the hyper-jacking drums.
