Very exciting news here! Manchester's latest cool-person-everyone-likes Baobinga has a new EP on Build. Expect the bassy end of the UKF spectrum.
Along with Poirier, Baobinga has to be one of the most exciting Funky producers going, bringing in elements of breaks, ragga and techno and a lot of bass on dem breaks and ting, etc.
New York ravager of parties Udachi has a new EP out on Palms Out Sounds featuring the knob-twiddling wizardry of his old Staten Island pal iBeat. The EP is called 'Swagger' and came out yesterday with remixes from Baobinga, AC Slater, Tactic, Deathface (of Guns N' Bombs fame) & Andreas Bygdell.
Throwing elements of tropical, new york heavy bass, kuduro and good old fashioned rave into the mixing pot, with a storming 808-filled bounce from Baobinga. But as ever when he's on the remix rosta, it's AC Slater's heavy bass remix which is sure to become a classic in the clubs.

Bristol/London-based Steak House Records will be putting out its third 12" at the beginning of July, according to their blog. The new release by Baobinga promises to be a "juicy vocal raggastep" bonanaza with vocals from Killa Benz, Spyda, Rubi Dan and a remix from Ghislain Poirier to sweeten the deal.
No doubt it will be a departure from the bass-oriented Baobinga sound we're used to but as far as I'm concerned, if it's ragga it's right. Also, the inclusion of Spyda is really promising - cementing, as I'm sure he will, the EP's future as memorable at the very least.
The record is due out on July 5th on 12" and digital and they promise to have full previews up on their Soundcloud page very soon. In the mean time you can listen to preview clips of all the tracks on the Steak House Myspace.
