About Myagi - Smartbomb
Back in 2005, when the world was bright and new and Myagi was a name synonymous with funk sampling big beat records, the alias Sole Claw was coined to allow an outlet for Myagi's deeper, harder edged sounds. The 3 Sole Claw records released on Pure Phunk Recordings each received near perfect reviews in all the dance press at the time, with the undisputed highlight being "Smartbomb," a track hammered by all the big guys and even selected by the Plump DJs to be used on their artist album "Saturday Night Lotion" on Fingerlickin Records.
Here we are 4 years later, and though the track has aged well, there's certainly room for improvement, and its about time this dancefloor smasher was brought up to date by some of the best new and established artists across multiple genres.
First up is Pop And Lock's honcho Myagi, who rides the line between updating and remixing the track, taking what was already a bona fide classic and amping it up with new rolling techy vibes, extra acidic synths and hits, and even bigger builds.
Lazy Rich is a man needing less and less of an introduction over the last year, making it from relative obscurity to being one of the dominant names of the electro charts in a fashion similar to Miles Dyson or even the Mau5. He does the original track a great service which you can preview on this page!
Italy's top breaks export Plaza De Funk jumps into the ring for this 3rd remix, and it slays. No stranger to breaks heads out there, Plaza has had a great couple years churning out the bombs and touring the world, with every self respecting broken beat DJ dropping his tracks - this ones getting big attention.
The winner of the contest will have their track released alongside these three scorchers - Release date Feb 2010!
Watch for PT 2 coming shortly after feat The Incredible Melting Man, Groovy Cuvy & Benjamin Leung, Undecided and more.....
