JKBD007 :: Jimi Polar & Phil Smart | ‘FROSTBITE’ (A:: Original mix B:: JP Switch Remix)
Just when you thought winter was over, Jim and Phil take off the gloves and head out into the chilly night for a evening of serious clubbing. The original mix follows the sonic flavour that we’ve been pushing with the last few releases, percussive, dubbed out trickery that sticks to the groove and leaves the cheese in the fridge…

A :: ORIGINAL MIX :: Solid, Dubby and  consistent, great for long opener sets when you’re ready to pick things up and get serious.
B :: JIMI POLAR SWITCH MIX :: Jimi takes the same percussive elements and adds some very fat 303 action to the low end, the result is at least another 20kgs of aceeed funk to deal out.

Coming soon we’ve got some seriously serious tech house business from Jimi Polar and DeepChild and to top it off here at Junkbeats HQ we are very excited to announce new comers to the Junkbeats crew the Disco Knights from Brisbane with Melbourne expat DeeDee from the Smash-Bang hall taking on remix duties, stay tuned..

Mike Callander, a long-time favourite DJ of Melbourne clubbing institutions such as Honkytonks, Sunny and Poison Apple, and Phoebe Faulkner, an emerging sound artist currently causing a stir on the live sound-art circuit, are together, simply, “Mike and Phoebe”. Through a shared studio space in a sweaty loft in West Melbourne, each of these unique artists has been over-exposed to the sounds and styles of the other, while at the same time battling for silence and seclusion amidst the busy street outside and the band next door. Their individual experimentations were often undertaken simultaneously in a system that became as much a sound-clash as it was a sonic tapestry, woven together by two separate sets of speakers cranked to full volume, while neighbours beat drums on one side and battered emotions on the other – Confusing? And somehow compelling.

The result is a concept track that is much more about love than it is about loudness. But the message is clear. Our love is stronger now that we’ve shaken it.
