New DJ Mix From Gella

Now then, this is what I'm talking about. I've been prattling on for a while about Gella, and he's stepping up this month with a single release and DJ mix, which I thought was well worth a blog.
Gella comes, I suppose, from the breaks scene. It's no secret that I reckon breaks has been in a bit of a sad state the last couple of years - stodgy, generic tunes that lacked the creative spark that made it so exciting in the first half of the last decade. (!) Fortunately, Gella is one of the few people I've seen come up doing something new and interesting, and managing to keep some funk about it while he does. So I'm keen to give him some of the props he deserves - I know he's been grafting hard.
His release 'Twinkle' is out this week on Sub Slayers and features the vocal talents of Spyda, and although it's been rather delayed for several reasons, I think it's probably worked out for the best - the 130BPM ragga/bass music stylings have come right into focus in the last few months and this bad boy slots in perfectly with what's going on in 2010.
Check it here:
(anyone looking for the Baobinga & I.D. remix of this, fear not, it will be coming out in the next few months).
