Codeine Drums // 30.01.12 // Kool Clap Mix & Sepalcure Ticket Contest
This week, we bring you an exclusive mini-mix from the French-Tunisian electro-funk producer Kool Clap, who came to our attention after participating in Red Bull Music Academy 2010.
His productions lean towards the funk and disco side of house music; always playful, stylish and utterly danceable. Hold tight for upcoming releases from him this year, and in the mean time, you can listen to his tracks on his SoundCloud >>>

Congratulations to the two winners of the Sepalcure ticket contest.
See you on the dancefloor.

Codeine Drums // 23.01.12 // All New Rap
This weeks show is largely dedicated to new rap joints that dropped late 2011 whilst the station was off air for the holidays, and early 2012.
YMCMB do a lil' bit of hyphy-loving with Drake and Tyga, who strip the beats back and let the verses do the talking on 'The Motto' and 'Rack City'. We've been bumpin' Young Jeezy's long awaited Thug Motivation 103 tape since the end of December, as well as two ladies who we're excited to hear more from this year, Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks.
We have some really exciting mixes and guest features coming your way in the next few weeks, so hold tight for new on those.
Remember, you can follow us both on Twitter via @CodeineDrums and @jamie_drums

back once again
Codeine Drums // 16.01.12 // Hello, 2012
Hello all.
Thank you to everyone who tuned into the show and came to see us DJ in 2011, the love is much appreciated.
This is our first show of 2012, and we hope it will be another great year for us.
Hold tight for mixes and features from some seriously dope human beings but, for now, here's what we're loving right now.
It's good to be back.

the best of 2011
Codeine Drums // 12.12.11 // The Best of 2011
2011 has seen some truly amazing artists give us a much needed injection of fun.
The sheer breadth of variety is astonishing; from head-bursting smashers from Rustie to the most gorgeous, ambient house from Jamie xx, and good ol' fashioned dancefloor stompers from the likes of Mosca.
Some artists that we have played in the beginning of the year have now come to be super popular, which is amazing for us - to love someone new and see them blow up they way they do (nods to Jacques Greene and The Weeknd in particular here).
So, this is a very, very short selection of some of our favourites of 2011.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
See you in the New Year.

Legend is a word that gets thrown around quite a lot when it comes to music, but it's one that we're happy to use to describe the amazing AraabMUZIK. If you are a fan of early-mid 2000s U.S. hip hop and R&B, then you have most certainly heard his work. AraabMUZIK has produced hits for Busta Rhymes, Dipset, Fabolous and Cam'ron, and a quick scan of YouTube proves that he is an absolute monster on the MPC.
AraabMUZIK is playing a live show at The Glasgow School of Art on December 2nd.
It's an early show, as the union venue shuts at 12 due to a lack of a late license, but that won't hamper the atmosphere. If you are a fan of live electronic music, there's no reason to miss this live set. Whilst most hip hop producers garner a wealth of samples from soul, jazz and funk, AraabMUZIK takes a heavier inspiration from more recent electronic styles, making him not just your average hip hop producer.
We strongly recommend you check him out at his December 2nd show. See you there.
