Birmingham, UK has a powerhouse of sound in Will Bailey (a.k.a. Rudi Stakker). Formerly half of short-lived fidget outfit Twocker (with Calvertron), and owner of startup label Simma, Will Bailey makes world-renowned tracks in the emerging fidget house sub-genre. It’s something that sounds a bit of UK garage, electro house, drum’n'bass and breakbeat thrown in a martini shaker and poured over a 4/4 time signature (don’t forget the olive). Will Bailey shares the Fidget umbrella with the likes of Crookers, Stupid Fresh & Mickey Slim, just to name a few.

Just in, Will Bailey has shared with us his throbbing remix of Southside Queens hip-hop hero, Pharoahe Monch (who you know we got love for, peep the profile of Monch & his former group, Organized Konfusion in this post from last year). This is perhaps taking a cue from the electro-minded remix by Edinbergh’s Hostage. If you’ve heard ‘em all, how’s this compare? I think this is huge:

MP3: Pharoahe Monch – Simon Says (Will Bailey Remix)

Here’s another Will Bailey banger with additional production from fellow Birmingham “producer/engineer/DJ” Mikey Hook, he’s not much older than seventeen and already smashing tracks with the big boys.

MP3: Will Bailey & Mikey Hook – Cross The Trax

And for good measure, here’s that Twocker sound that you’ve grown to love (or you should have). It’s a remix of their only original single (with the exception of the ‘Chopper’ B-side) as remixed by other major fidget playboys, Sydney’s Bass Kleph. Love teh wonk:

MP3: Twocker – Stitch (Bass Kleph Remix)

And yo, we ain’t even finished yet! To match the exclusive remix at the top, here’s a mix to match. Recorded hot on the heels of Will Bailey’s recent gig trip to L.A. to play Nocturnal Wonderland. California love:
