Hi.

First off apologies on purely the lack of content from us since the start of July. Ben was in Greece for the whole of July and August, and I've been running a weekly club night since the start of July and have been working in the week every day up in Notting Hill (London). Sometimes you just want to come home and chill, it kind of felt like it would be a chore to blog, and that's not what I got into it for.

So enough of the excuses, let's just say that Squeaky Bleeps is back and better than ever. I'm only gonna be bringing you one post per day from today, but I promise that they'll all be worthwhile.

Also if anyone fancies jumping on the writing team, then please your more than welcome, just hit us up on the email... apheticstate@gmail.com

I thought for this first mix I'd simply post up a couple of mixes and some tracks that I've been feeling over the past couple of weeks. Please, enjoy them as much as I have.

The first mix comes from one of my favourite UK producers of the past few years, Raffertie. Consistently one step ahead of everyone one else in his field when it comes to pure sonics and revolutionary sounds. This mix was compiled for Grimme5 last month and has been on constant repeat for me ever since. I recently caught him in Fabric's Room 2 a few months ago for the first time and was blown away by the pure energy he puts into his sets from start to finish, minus the stale red leicester.



Raffertie // Isle Of The Blessed
Ikonika & Optimum // Ampersand
Raffertie // Bread & Honey
Taylor // CMB (Raffertie Remix)
Dark Sky // High Rise
Untold // Angry Hat
George Lenton // I Get
Subeena // Wishful Talk (Ghosts On Tape Remix)
Lo:Tek // Let Me See U
Raffertie // A Stranger Sort Of Emptiness
Raffertie // They Pecked Off Her Nose
Raffertie // Rank Functions (Ital Tek Remix)
Photomachine // Technicolour (Raffertie Remix)
Raffertie // Horse Flesh
Damu // Mermaid
Raffertie // A Breath That Finds You
Boxcutter // Allele
Raffertie // ▼▲


Visual Acuity (as it's actually known) is to be commended by Squeaky Bleeps as a true and serious contender for Track of the Year, no messing.
Raffertie has spent the whole summer locked away in some sea-side studio crafting his new sound, and he's chosen the perfect moment to start up his own record label, which will be called Super. He summed it up like this...
"Super is a contemporary and forward thinking label. I really don't want, if at all possible, to start naming genres and styles and things like that, because what I really want is for people to formulate their own ideas about what Super is. What I can say is that we are endeavouring to embrace every nuance and subtlety of the UK underground scene. Every artist that we are releasing has their own distinctive sound and I think those releases will speak volumes more about our label’s stylistic direction than anything I could put into words."

Next up we have SBTRKT who recently guest mixed on Mistajam's Radio 1Xtra show, a very prestigous position for this young producer and one which I thought would be quite unlikely, so kudos to Mistajam for this opportunity.

A fantastic mix showcasing up and coming material for SBTRKT on Numbers, as well as new hits from Benga, Terror Danjah and Mt. Kimbie... Well worth a listen.



SBTRKT Guest Mix For Mistajam BBC 1xtra by sbtrkt
Jessie Ware & SBTRKT // Nervous (Numbers) 
SBTRKT // Deep Sea Creature (n/a)
Benga // I Come From London (Tempa)
Humanleft // Arnaud & Bernard (50 Weapons)
Cosmin TRG // Liebesunde (Rush Hour)
Mr De // Whoneleeone (Electrofunk)
Seiji // The King (n/a)
Headhunter // Prototype (Modeselektor Remix) (Tempa)
Terror Danjah // Power Grid (Hyperdub)
Pearson Sound // Wad (Hessle)
Mt Kimbie // Carbonated (Hotflush)
Girl Unit // IRL (Night Slugs)
SBTRKT // Fright (Numbers)
Greenmoney // Suh Mi Stay (Karizma Remix) (Fools Gold)
Altered Natives // Restless Natives (Eye 4 Eye)
Joe // Claptrap (Hessle)
Distal // Tortellis Slave (Embassy Rec)
Boy 8 Bit // The Keep (This Is Music)
SBTRKT // Step In Shadows (Young Turks)



Finally I thought I'd leave you with a few free cuts, I'm a bit pressed for time on going into the tracks in more detail, which is slightly annoying, but I'd rather you got some new sounds in your ears than nothing at all, so grab these little nuggets.

A small favour!

Hey peeps... Really sorry for the lack of postage on this blog during July... I'm working full time during the week from 10am til 7pm... and as soon as I get home I just want to chill most days. Will be getting some posts scheduled up on the weekend and getting the blog back to business very soon.

Until then I was wondering if you'd be able to do me a small favour. I've entered a competition on Mixcloud to win a copy of Ableton Live Suite and Serato 2.0, the competition closes tonight and the top 10 entries get judged, and I'm really in with a great shout of winning, so I'd love some support. Basically just follow the link to my mix or stream the mix on this page to get my play count up.

Also let us know what you think of the mix :)... Thanks much in advance!
