New Rubs, New Mixes, Fresh Ish Period

First off is a re-rub of a Peo de Pitte original tune.  I really dig the arrangement of both the original and re-rub and how Raj stays dominantly true to the intended feel of the original instead of completely taking his own take on it while kicking up the tempo at bit too.  Consistently good re-rubs from Raj coming steadily makes him one to watch.  Links to the original tune, the rub, and Raj's latest mix below.

Next up Kwerk is back at it with grinder of a remix of Manila Sound and a bangin' Wolfgang Gartner remix as well.  Manila sound stays in the groove just right with the quirky lead synth and grinding subs, right up my alley.  Lovin' the vocal samples throughout, and the build is just right too.  Don't sleep on this release when it drops on Kick It!  Next the WG remix is off the hook!  Really dig the switch in the drums from breaks to dubstep alternating every couple bars, it hits the spot right on.  Definitely going to be dropping this at my next gig.  Check out more from Kwerk on the regular, he's a busy guy on the production end.

Coming full speed as usual is Elite Force's new taster of Captain America.  It's a driving breaks track that will take you through the darkest swamps leaving you a sweaty mobbed out fool.  Luda's vocals even make a cameo appearance getting it right in time.  All in all a truly sick track.

Here's a killer breaks/dubstep mix by a good friend of mine from the Dayton, OH area relocated to L.A.  His track selection is great as well as super clean mixing.  If you're on the left coast and see DJ Sprocket on the lineup make sure to head out and have a listen, guarantee you won't be able to stand still.

DJ Assault vocals hit it right every time...even though it's just a preview make sure to have a listen.  Rat Records is always bringing some heavy 808 bass to get you shakin' it.  Viro and Rob Analyze bring it right up on a silver booty laiden platter.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you don't want to absolutely dance your pants off and need a bit of a chill moment, Kouncilhouse delivers.  Scarlett Quinn's vocals are stunning and the instrumental matches.  The ethereal feeling throughout really puts emphasis on the main focus of the tune, the vocals. I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more of Scarlett soon enough so stay on the lookout!

N-Funk or Nu-Funk...that is the question

NAPT brings it huge as usual with their latest funk and grime infused track "Bass" off of their upcoming EP.  This grinder of a tune has shimmering high end and bassbin destroying lows.  I really dig the fact that no matter NAPT is capable of infusing a multitude of emotions into one track.  Whether it's the call of the organ grinder of a lead synth or the response of the arpeggiated keys they've got it sounding crisp every time.  The breakdown is another point I really enjoy since it's got a bit of an oldschool rave feel with the keys they chose as long as a proper build.  I can't wait to hear the rest of the EP on July 24th!  Always a good time in store when NAPT is in the building.

Tim McVicar and Busta let loose with some serious tuneage in the newest release on Bombastic Jam "For the Money".  It's a new school fusion of elvis, strings, funky synths, and powerful drums to bring you sonic enjoyment on many levels.  The original mix is more of a chillspot tune while the Busta remix is an all out dancefloor swizzle stick...that's right ma'am, I'll have that shaken and stirred.  With quirky 8-bit sounds, grimey synths, and an all out funky rhythm it's got to get you right.  Keep on the lookout for new sounds from Bombastic Jam and enjoy the tunes.

Complextro Is In...

Big things are always a staple from Mord Fustang with his epic electro tunes.  They've been dropping on Plasmapool week by week and are nothing short of big!  All the characteristics of complextro shine through, the melodic breakdowns are pleasing to the ears with a bit of delayed percussive synths it's sound is cultivated and funky.  To go along with it is a properly sized bassline to compliment all the elements perfectly.  The goal of complextro is to be polished, danceable, and be able to have builds without boredom.  Mord hits the nail on the head every tune.  He uses a lot of the same samples/synths in many of his tracks which are all quite refined and will likely be a staple for some time to come.  Check the teaser and cop the track from Beatport!

Here's some booty from the Physical Bross and Four Motion with this taster of their latest work.  It's a heavy track but the funky sounds will get bottoms shakin' it for sure.  The sub bass and quirky synths really do it for me.  I really like the intro as well, a nice building helicopter LFO and rise to match.  Be sure to check the rest of their tracks for some more great breaks vibes.

Kid Vibe out of Vancouver is droppin' some seriously funky tunes with some disco flavor.  His tracks have been some 90's RnB bangers remixed in a new school disco fashion with pitched up vox.  Really dope glitches and filter sweeps make this a keeper.  His previous tracks range anywhere from jackin' chicago house to new jack and all things funky.  Keep an eye out on for him on Midwest Hustle Recordings, Flapjack Records, and Greenhouse Recordings!  Get down with the RnB jams!

Step Your Fresh Up Fridays - Kickin' It

Check out the latest from the Kick It crew to smash the dancefloor.  Sneaker and the Dryer's remix of Powerpad hits it right with a powerful punch to the drums and a funky set of synth stabs in the intro.  Backing it up with a funky lead synth and the vox from 8*B1T that are meant for the b-boy antics I'm definitely down with this one.  The whole release is hot and out now on Juno!  Another little bit of remix action for the weekend on the free tip as well.  Can't go wrong with Stanton Warriors remixes, and this is just a testament to that.

The interview went great, his tunes are stellar, and the mix is even better.  Back again here is Elite Force's latest mix from Rough Tempo Radio.  You heard his tracks, you've seen his thoughts, time to rock his jams out the way he wants you to hear em!  The epic intro prepares you for a journey into sound.  Not your typical hard and heavy banger all the way throughout, this is a musical travel to put your head in a different world.  That doesn't mean it's short of the sharp edges of harder track selection so don't be surprised by hard hitting beats.  I think my fave is the Krafty Kuts re-rub in the midst of it all, but you peep it and decide for yourself.

For those looking to chill and still bounce Rektchordz has it in for you.  His latest bouncy Techno release has got the right vibe all around.  The horns and acoustic guitar give just the right amount of organic flavor, while the techy drums, builds and falls fill your need for that synthetic extension of being.  This isn't all his specialty is though, check his older tracks for bangin' breaks and some funky tech house as well.
