Step Your Fresh Up Fridays - DEMF Weekend!

With DEMF this weekend I know people are about to get all kinds of crazy so here are some tunes that I think will help you get with it.  Some groovy, some bangers, and even some for that late night hotel chill session to wind down.

Some of my favorite emcees to ever hit the stage make a guest appearance in D*Funk's bootleg of Linguistics by Jurassic 5.  The groove of this tune stays true to how J5 would have it, but with a bit of a twist.  A UK hip hop bounce track always makes me feel good, and this does just that.  D*Funk is definitely not a stranger to the more techy true breakbeats as well.  He has quite a few releases on Upstart Music that are bangers for sure.

Booty poppin' breaks delivered fresh out the oven from Sharaz!  I'm a huge fan of booty bass of any genre and here's a big DJ Funk remix ready to shake asses.  Check out his site for info and all things upcoming at http://www.dropthatbass.com/

A man who needs no intros in the breakbeat world, DJ Fixx  along with Keith McKenzie just dropped three new remixes of DJ Icon, Paul Anthony & ZXX, and Southpaw!  Dutchy, dirty, and groovin' breaks with the signature KMFX treatment is what it's all about, get ill.

Wind down your night just right with an original from Louisville's house legend.  Glenn Giles does it just right, whether GFG, Unkle Funk, or the numerous other moniker's he brings it proper.  Deep, sexy, funky, whatever flavors of house music you dig, here you go!  Make sure to check the mix mentioned in a previous post from the Wisemen Promotion's launch party for a longer groove accompanied by Firecat 451 on the mic for your aural pleasure.

Breakbeat Banger with Gustolab

Fixx and Keith McKenzie do it again along with Gustolab on the Holla If You See Me EP out now on Beatport.  Gustolab is out of NYC and dropped a hot remix on i11even eleven with two of my fave vocalists over breaks -- Sue Cho and Whiskey Pete.  Originally from Peru he moved to Miami when he was 20 and fell in love with EDM.  After making moves in Miami he relocated to Brooklyn  to start his own production company and keep on the grind.  Here's just a quick preview of his remix and his 2011 mix to get you bumpin'!

Step your Fresh Up Fridays - Madd Tunes for the Weekend

The 2 Bit Thugs are droppin a new release on March 7th with a refix 'A Good Look' one of their previous tunes.  Holding on to their signature sound it's another crowd pleaser for sure.  Just enough wobble to satisfy and not over the top with LFOs modulating every piece of the lead synth melody.

Second up on the plate is a serving of old school funk from A Tribe Called Wes from Juice Recordings and a remix with a new school take by DJ Fixx.  I got a message from Wes this morning over soundcloud and had to check out his tracks.  A surprising amount of soul jumped straight out of the original and Fixx's classic breakbeat glitchy vocals made both a must have.  Sickness from NYC and ill sounds from Chi, be prepared to bounce in your seat or on the dancefloor!

Third up are a few tunes from Jesse Brewer aka REL1 out of Atlanta, GA.  Consistently dropping new re-rubs of killer tunes, his soundcloud needs to be in your browser pretty much all day.  I haven't heard one tune I haven't downloaded instantly.  Bass heavy monsters and dancing 'til you fall over, this pretty much covers it in my book.  His newest rub is of Fascinated by DJ Dan and is of course, dope as usual.  Without further delay...
