Quickly becoming one of the most generous label collectives around, today sees one of Chestplate's recent recruits, District, give away two free tunes as a way of thanking the 2,000 fans who have amassed on his Facebook page.

This comes after last week's announcement that Chestplate, which is headed up by scene veteran Distance, has been added to the 'Daily Dose of Dubstep' segment on MistaJam's Radio 1Xtra show, with the first dose being offered by Razor Rekta, whose debut release for the label dropped just last Monday.

Starkey: Building Beats.

Way back in the relative warmth of pre-snow December, Mary-Anne Hobbs challenged Starkey to build a beat in just 2 hours, live on air and from scratch -using loops and samples sent in by listeners. Last night, joined by producer/percussionist Reso and vocalist Anneka (whom Starkey handpicked for the project), the challenge was met with quite beautiful results.
