Step Your Fresh Up Friday

Big time breakbeat coming hot off the press from Krafty Kuts!  A run through of as many Wolfgang Gartner tunes as possible complete with Martin's own spin on it.  Quick transitions in this medley keep the energy off the charts and give you just enough time to get into it before bangin' out a new edit.  We'll get to enjoy his edits in person coming soon, but for now cop the download!  Download's done, got it if you got it!

Only two days from Krafty comes Specimen A another UK artist known for exquisite production value and multi-genre madness comes to Dayton for Elton's Birthday Bash.  From explosive remixes to original bangers Specimen A released their EP London Calling covering Drum and Bass, Drumstep, Dubstep, and Electro House in one tasty package.  Only a few days ago the remix of AfroWhitey dropped and I still can't get enough!  Look for the release due out February 27th on Sludge Records.  Exclusive interview with Phil of Specimen A coming soon!  For now peep the tunes and leave some love.

Post Rusko Breakdown

So the Rusko show was absolutely bonkers and was the best time I've had playing out in a while.  The crowd was in it and everything went off without a hitch!  Rusko is also one of the coolest artists I have met and is truly down to earth and involved for all the right reasons.  Pics are going to be coming in from I Shoot My Friends for Fun, Tri Plur Ent, and Life of the Party to show you just how we get down.

That being said we have some other events coming in the next few months that should be given some major attention.

As a breaks fan and DJ I can't let this one slip by un-noticed.  Martin Reeves aka Krafty Kuts will be coming to The Masque on March 29th for his first ever Dayton appearance and as far as I know first ever Ohio appearance!  Below is his latest mini mix for his new label Insane Bangers and a recent re-rub of Adele that's a real floor burner.  One of the most hype DJ sets to be seen period!

Step Your Fresh Up Fridays: The Aftermath

After one of the most exhausting weekends of partying, networking, and all around madness (ahh DEMF...), it's time for some serious tunes to bring us back to it.  As we approach the onset of summer, SMiRK from Dance Hard Die Hard provides us with a mix of tunes that go boom.  Ranging from aggressive DnB to breaks with that summer vibe, electro house and dubstep, he makes it clear that it's time to get down.  Broken beat masterminds and 4/4 fiends litter the tracklist and come together to make this mix proper beyond proper.  I was so excited when I saw the tracklist because I have a lot of them in store for you all myself...now on to the show!  The mix is available for download here or just click link to begin playing.  Enjoy and props to SMiRK for always going outside the box when mixing...run it selecta!

Tracklisting:

Bring the Boom Back with a Bassline

Some of the biggest names in the scene right now come together on this massive fusion of breaks and dubstep.  You can hear a piece of each artist in the track and really get a great vibe from it from beginning to end.  I know it's just a tease with it still being a work in progress but you'll be guaranteed a killer final cut!  The Zombies are coming, make sure you grab your boomstick...

Elite Force, Excision, Skism, Reso - Boomstick Onslaught [TASTER] by Elite Force

So this one definitely takes me back...copped it on vinyl shortly after its release from Juno.  Breaks based on basslines were the thing to do and I couldn't have agreed more.  Aquasky always brings it pretty hard but this time he's building the pressure.  Vox are done by an unknown vocalist which the Breakfastaz never revealed to Aquasky.  If you have a clue on who it may be drop it on his soundcloud!

Here's the latest from Krafty Kuts making instant vibes with a mainstay mc from the ill crew, Sporty O.  The old school disco feel in the intro drop down into the dirty lightweight wobbly bassline you're used to hearing from Krafty.  The hook from Sporty is catchy as usual accompanied by a funky breakdown make the feelin' just right.  The dubby breakdown towards the end gets that dow low energy and brings it straight away back to the breaky goodness for the outtro.
