Chicago’s Starfoxxx released the Karolina EP under the alias STLKRFXXX and describes it as a “combination of Moombahton and Witch House for a one and done Bruja-ton EP.” The concept behind the EP is Starfoxxx’s unhealthy fascination (obsession maybe) with a young lady and his transformation into his alter-ego, STLKRFXXX. Bruja-ton is a term he’s coined for the growing lexicon of fractured Moombah genres. Whatever you call it, it really sets the mood for a serious creep session, great to squat on top of a keg and do your best Gargoyle to. Check out more on Starfoxxx’s Soundcloud.

Melé served up an exclusive mix for the Red Bull Studios:

This month Liverpudlian Krissy Peers a.k.a Melé takes to the ones and twos to put together a mix of heavy weight electro featuring tracks by Instra: Mental, house classics by Livin Joy, Robin S and some of his own dubplates.

Krissy’s production skills are as versatile as his DJ sets, with tunes like Starlight Express (Mixpak) that have all the hall marks of a pounding techno bad boy to the sizzurp snare of Lego (Mixpak). In June 2011 Melé jumped in the Red Bull Studios with Toddla T as part of Red Bull Mixtape collaborating on an 808 inspired joint. As well as working in the lab with Toddla, Krissy has also remixed for ice cream tattooed rapper Gucci Mane, Mumdance, Greenmoney and Contakt.
