Alright, Blaze here. Big love to everyone who locked in for the Friday Night Digger session. The energy in the chat was spot on, so much so that I let you lot pick the throwback for this week. You didn't disappoint—we’re going back to a foundational anthem that defined the big-beat era.

We’re keeping the pressure high because I’m officially looking for residents to help get the Monday Night Streams back in full swing. I want the MOB community at the heart of this. If you’re a DJ or producer ready to showcase your sound, get in touch.

This week’s selection is a madness, from Baktrax’s high-precision vocal flips to some atmospheric sanctuary vibes from Dead Bonsai. We’ve also got the On The Rise crew back at Boxpark Shoreditch at the end of the month—don't miss out.

The Lineup:

  • Prime Selection: Baktrax - Let It Go (Baktrax Remix)

  • Deep Cuts: Buson - Who's Da Badman

  • Weekly Masterpiece: Loopcrashing - You Get Down

  • Classic Rotation: The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats

  • Friday’s Forecast: Dead Bonsai - Sanctuary

🏆 THE SELECTION

Prime Selection — Baktrax 
Track: "Let It Go (Baktrax Remix)"
Label: Samay Records
The Vibe: Baktrax takes the original vocal and flips it into a high-octane masterpiece. The remix is defined by a colossal, driving sub-bass and crisp, rapid-fire percussion that cuts through the mix with clinical precision. It’s that perfect blend of melodic uplift and pure dancefloor pressure.
Best For: Raising the energy levels as the set moves into top gear.

Deep Cuts — Buson 
Track: "Who's Da Badman"
Label: Banana Club
The Vibe: This is gritty, old-school-inspired business with a modern technical edge. The track centers around a classic ragga-style vocal hook, layered over a filthy, distorted bassline and heavy, swinging breakbeats. It’s raw, unapologetic, and captures that authentic warehouse energy.
Best For: Shifting the vibe into something more underground and aggressive.

Weekly Masterpiece — Loopcrashing 
Track: "You Get Down"
Label: Solid Breaks Records
The Vibe: A masterclass in funk-fuelled breakbeat. Loopcrashing delivers a bright, energetic riddim with a catchy vocal hook and a rolling bassline that keeps the groove locked. The production is clean and vibrant, making it an instant standout.
Best For: Bringing a massive, soulful groove to the dancefloor.

Classic Rotation — The Chemical Brothers 
Track: "Block Rockin' Beats"
Label: Virgin Records
The Vibe: Big up the Digger chat for picking this one—absolute big tune. This is the blueprint for the big-beat sound, featuring that legendary distorted bass guitar riff and the "back with another one" vocal. It's a foundational anthem that still rattles subs in 2026.
Best For: Bridging the gap between the heritage heads and the new wave.

Friday’s Forecast — Dead Bonsai 
Track: "Sanctuary"
Label: DIRTY KITCHEN RAVE
The Vibe: Closing the week with some atmospheric weight. Dead Bonsai builds a proper "Sanctuary" with ethereal pads that drop into a clean, driving breakbeat. It has a cinematic scale that works just as well for a late-night drive as it does for a peak-time set.
Best For: Driving home the final 20 minutes of a high-intensity set.
