Eats Everything + Essential Mix

Not to toot our own horn or anything, but ever since we here at Bright & Shiny got wind of the uprising being staged in the English city of Bristol, we've been posting, and posting, and posting about it. We simply cannot get enough of the futuristic bass-infused house sounds pouring out of the place, and that's due in no small part to the fine work of Dan Pearce, AKA Eats Everything.  You see, Pearce has a strange affliction which makes him prone to eat everything, and this shows in his productions.  His work pays homage to house and bass-music greats as often as it does to R&B stars of the '90s and early 2000's (a venerable golden age for pop music), like Jagged Edge and Faith Evans. In short,

Eats Everything is putting the black back in house music. 

Since this past spring, his tracks have seen release on Berlin's Pets Recordings and San Fransisco's dirtybird Recordings, with more to come. In addition to being an ace producer, Pearce is an equally talented DJ, peppering his mixes with exclusive 'beefy' reworks that you'll only hear at his hands. So it comes as no surprise that Pete Tong, being the tastemaker that he is, commissioned our friend Eats Everything for an Essential Mix, which aired last Saturday on BBC Radio 1. Recorded live at Bristol In:Motion, the mix is a particularly energetic entry into the series' hallowed halls, and is chock full of exclusive Eats Everything edits and unreleased tracks you're likely to only hear here. So give it a spin and, as always, don't forget to turn up the volume! Tracklist & bonus tunes after the jump.

The Funk Electric

Boy do those boys over at Hot Creations got it goin’ on. Here we have the Jamie Jones and Lee Foss collective, Hot Natured, giving this recent Waifs & Strays original a hot makeover. Make sure to follow their label and future releases, you will not be disappointed. Also, support the crew and purchase this on beatport.
Waifs & Strays – Body Shiver (Hot Natured Remix) [Stream Only]


After hearing the Subb-Ann remix of this song off of Augustus’s earlier post and doing some research, I came across this Solomun rendition. This one has a much different feel to it; slower tempo, more pronounced vocals, and a funky beat with some fat bass. Give it a try.
Noir & Haze – Around (Solomun Vox Remix)


We have come to know and love Botnek for his interesting and crazy approach to music. This song, coming off of Southern Fried Records, presents a little different style for him (not quite as insane) that has got some groove. The sounds of whistles, Panamanian percussion, and Latin-American vocals abound in what will surely get you on your feet. Buy the track here.
Botnek – Panama Bass [Stream Only]


DJ T. has been in the game for a long time and I continually enjoy his music. Clockwork, however, completely inverts this song of his and throws you in the front row of the show. As the track builds, the sound of a crowd encompasses the beat and the crisp percussion, emanating the experience of a live show. Subtle, yet powerful.
Dj T. Ft. Khan – Leaving Me (Clockwork Remix)


Last week my good friend, Beau, showed me this one and let me tell you, this is pure gold. As advertised, this is indeed a long ass mix, complete with a rolling beat that seemingly never ends. Top it off with some sexy vocals that will put you in a trance, and it will leave you wondering what was possessing your body for the last ten minutes. Rinse and repeat. Now go buy it and enjoy some more.
