Step Your Fresh Up Fridays - Soul with a Broken Beat


A.Skillz the master of the wheels of steel finally released his nu funk remix of California Soul.  I first heard this on his Annie Nightengale mixThe vocals of the motown days really cut through me every time.  The bouncy lead hits a natural groove that pairs perfectly with the soulful vibes of Marlena Shaw and the original tune.  I first heard this in his Beats Working Vol 1 mix and I've been waiting for it ever since.  A true master of flexin' the funk, A.Skillz is heading across the globe with his signature sound.

Kwerk from London, UK is killin' it here with his newest breaks work in progress Rock It Like This. Not only a funky stuttered arrangement of b-boy samples but a meat grinder of a bassline synth keeping your feet right on track.  I really enjoy the first breakdown as well, not just a standard windup, but rather a little old school ravey bit to the drop.  Keep a lookout for big things from Kwerk and the UK breaks scene, it's the raw business. Just a little added taste of Kwerk is his remix of Paloma Faith - New York. Really dig the vibes he's putting down and I think you will too.

Don't bother tellin' them that drum machine ain't got no soul...On the indie tip DJ Icey is rockin' it steady with the funk as usual.  His latest is a remix of The Limousines is a true danceable indie killer that hits the spot just right.  Summer vibes is definitely what this one is about...well, that and drum machines and disco balls.  Have a listen, cop the download, and bang out this weekend.
