Wakestock Mix Series Presents Plastic Thumbs


The Wakestock Mix Series brings exposure to up and coming acts in UK dance music and each mix will touch on a new genre and sound. This month’s guest mix comes from Plastic Thumbs

Big hitting wobbly basslines business is the Plastic Thumbs game, and Volume 2 is no exception. You might have seen these cats at last years festival warming up for Zane Lowe, and smashing up the Relentless stage. This year they'll be back with more madness.

Plastic Thumbs is a collaboration from two chaps living in very different corners of the Britain. One residing in the pebble dashed charm of North Wales, the other hailing from the anonymous streets of South London. But the bastard child of Jonty Storey and Seb Cavill seems to hold up nicely.

Plastic Thumbs pull all their influences from reggae, funk and the golden era of hip-hop. The duo have spent the last few years playing festivals and clubs separately, alongside acts such as Scratch Perverts, DJ Nu-Mark, The Nextmen, Mr. Scruff and many more, but have now pulled together with the same focus, colliding the buzz and crackling energy of dancehall with rhyme splattered beats and gut-wrenching low-end bass lines. After taking over the 'Blogasphere" in 2010 with a series of hard hitting, fast paced mixtapes, they're back doing what they do best with a blend of Wakestock acts past, hopefully future and present.

Head over to their new Facebook fan page for more.

Relentless Wakestock Mixtape Series

New for 2011 is "Relentless Wakestock Mixtape Series". It's designed to get you pumped for Relentless Wakestock in July and features up and coming talent and Relentless Wakestock regulars.

Blasting it all off in the new year will be the first part of the series with rising star Jigsaw. Jimmy Wallace A.K.A Jigsaw has had a massive year supporting Annie Mac, Calvin Harris, Pendulum, Zane Lowe to mention a few. Expect a huge mix of Electro, Techno and Dubstep.

Part two will come out in time for when our tickets go on sale in March and will be put together by mixtape monsters Plastic Thumbs. These two chaps have been tearing the Blogasphere apart in 2010, with mixtape after mixtape as well as slotting in some big performances at Beachbreak Live, Relentless Wakestock and Leeds Festival. Colliding dancehall with wobbly basslines, expect big and bashie filthstep.

Finishing it all off will be Relentless Wakestock regular and good pal Sam Hall better known as Goldierocks. You'll surely know the drill by now. Sam specialises in getting the party started and this mix will definitely be doing that.

Keep you're eyes on the blog for more info.
