This fortnight we’ve got another stupendous selection of upfront music for you to wrap your ears around. As well as the hottest new club tracks, we’ve also got some brand new hip-hop from Australia and abroad, with Katalyst and Z-Trip feat. Aceyalone. We also speak with the Potbelleez about their brand new single ‘Don’t Hold Back’, and we’ve also got new music from 1gnition, Grafton Primary and more.

Feature Artist

The Potbelleez – Don’t Hold Back (Pot La More Club Dub) [Vicious]
Although they’re Irish by blood, there’s no denying we’ve well and truly adopted the Potbelleez as our own down under. The duo, who met in Sydney, have been getting a massive amount of airplay for their tracks in 2007, with their debut EP ‘Junkyard’ picked up by reality TV program Big Brother for use in this year’s season. They’ve spent the past few months touring pretty relentlessly around the country, and will be unleashing their brand new track ‘Don’t Hold Back’ very soon. The buzz on the new single is pretty intense, so we tracked down Jonny and Dave to find out how they’re handling the spotlight.

Emerging Artist

Winston & Yoddy vs Celebrity Drug Disasters – Put Yourself In My Shoes (Electrofunk Remix)
This fortnight’s emerging artist is actually a duo, and they go under the guise Winston & Yoddy. Meeting on an off chance one night at the nightclub Dragonfly in Sydney, Yoddy and Winston quickly discovered they shared the same passion for dance music. DJing and producing together, here they’ve remixed live act the Celebrity Drug Disasters. Remember, if you’re making your own tracks and you’d like to see one of them featured in an inthemix podcast session, just drop us an email to podcasts@team.inthemix.com.au.

1gnition – Secret Sunday Love (DJ Sing & Marcus J Knight Sydney Remix) [Central Station]
Ali Love and Marcus J Knight are 1gnition. If you don’t know the name, you definitely know their breakthrough single ‘Love Is War’, which was a huge club hit throughout 2004 and 2005. Since then they’ve released a number of underground hits, including ‘Planet 69’ and ‘Airtight’. This track, ‘Secret Sunday Lover’, is to be their last release, with the boys now heading in new directions to pursue solo careers. It’s the DJ Sing and Marcus J Knight Sydney remix, giving it a little bit of a local flavour.
