Happy New Year. I hope you all had as good a Christmas as I did. Jambasha v Dim Sum was considering the weather an amazing success and we all helped raise 400quid to go towards the 17grand that Patrick needs to build a new school for 300 plus kids in Burma. If you want to see me play live I will be rocking out a few parties in the Middle East over the next 6 weeks. I am playing a boat party see facebook invite and then I've also been booked to play at the Dubai Polo club's annual event as well as a return to Zinc on 24th Feb alongside the UAE's finest DJ Radio 1's Greg Stainer. The DJ Mag middle east poll closes tomorrow and we get the results on 1st Feb when the magazine is published. Fingers crossed with all of your votes I have made the top 50....... Anyway onto January's mix. If you remember Rubber Stamped January 2009 Let Freedom Ring then it's a similar style. I've gone for a fully progressive techy uplifting sound to help lift the January detox or New Year's resolution blues with a remix of the trance classic as the rush comes to finish. The mix has 14 tunes but they must have been long tunes because as I was recording I realised I would have to miss the last two tunes if I wanted to stop at 80minutes. I could not do this so the mix is now 92 minutes only a problem if you try and burn to 1 audio CD, if you are playing on an Ipod or PC no worries, otherwise burn as an MP3 CD. I really hope you enjoy the tunes and as ever if you are listening then drop me an email with some feedback. It's matt at djrubber.co.uk Nice One Rubber X

Hello Everyone I hope you are having a great month. I can't believe that it is nearly Christmas already, I just don't know where the year goes. I looked at the webstats today and I have had an unbelievable 8500 downloads since the site was launched back in May. My mix this month is a slightly different vibe to November. It is more of a warm up set with deeper, techy rolling sounds with a sprinkle of more progressive tunes at the end. Danny Howells was my inspiration for this mix. For those of you in London don't forget the Jambasha Building Schools for Burma Christmas Party on December 23rd at Fluid in Farringdon. I will be playing upstairs in the cocktail bar as well as downstairs in the club so come have a few drinks and enjoy the tunes. If you are listening to these mixes plese drop me an email with some feedback at matt at djrubber.co.uk it is great motivation to do more mixes if I know you are listening. Nice One Matt

Working out where to start with my November Rubber Stamped was somewhat difficult. From a personal perspective alongside playing with Nick Warren and recording Rubber Stamped August 2009 Sick Music (my Jazzy, Soulful Drum and Bass mix) my October Rubber Stamped was one of my favourites yet. Nevertheless I managed to get my arse onto beatport.com and bought 14 tunes brand new today. 12 were new to me but I had been aware of 2 of them for 4 or 5 months but until today they had not been released. Nick Warren played the original mix of Downpipe by D Ramirez and Mark Knight v Underworld at Fratelli Club back in June and Sebastian Ingrosso rocked Fratelli club on the opening night May 22nd with what was at the time his new tune How Soon is Now. This tune is a main room banger if ever I heard one. If you like you can check out the youtube video wall on my homepage where you can see the crowds reaction when he dropped this in the club. To say it was going off is an understatement. My November mix starts off a bit deeper and techy then builds up through the gears ending with some proper main room bangers. Hope you enjoy the tunes and as ever if you are listening then drop me an email with some feedback at matt at djrubber.co.uk Nice One Matt

How this October mix happened was a real surprise! One minute I was bored at home playing Tiger Woods Golf and the next I was on Beatport.com searching for some fresh tunes to add to a few I had already. Before I knew it, I was in the mix and Rubber Stamped October 2009 Ultraviolet was born. Ultraviolet is a mix of tech and progessive house with a chillout tune chucked in at the beginning, a progessive breakz tune in the middle and an uplifting main room banger at the end. It also includes some tracks from Way Out West's (the legends - Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren) new album that has just been released this month. You will recognise a couple of tunes from Nick's set with me at Fratelli Club back in June where he treated us a sneak preview of his new music that is only now being released. Enjoy the music, drill it out as loud as possible and if you like it, dislike it or are indifferent please take 2 mins to email me and tell me [email protected]. It makes the world of difference to know that you are downloading and listening

I had enough new tunes in my crate after making my breaks mix a couple of days ago so I decided to record a new house/progressive/club mix as well. Hope you enjoy it as much as Sandy and I enjoyed this weekend gone. We just had a blinding time on the piss at a boat party and at the water park with Mr 4 Dex and a Sax himself Mikey Mattacola. It's all about the Ravanelli or the Simon Cowell..... Big Up Scottinho all of our thoughts are with you fella

I have always loved my Breaks and in the early days Big Beat. I remember the trips to the beach club in Brighton for Fat Boy Slim's Big Beat Boutique. A Plump Night Out and The Stanton Session were two albums I bought and how the Plumps and Stantons moved onwards and upwards from there.... Other artists that have inspired me in this genre are Rogue Element, Krafty Cuts, A-Skillz, Vandal, General MIDI, Dan Magnan and the Drumattic Twins who rocked one of our best ever Jambasha parties. This won't be to everyone's taste but for those that like it fat and a bit tougher enjoy!
