Step Your Fresh Up Friday

As we close out this week there are quite a few tunes that demand your attention and some upcoming news from my crew at Dance Hard Die Hard and Next Era as well.  As a new recruit to Dance Hard Die Hard I will be releasing a mix alongside SMiRK (Twitter) featuring tunes from Curtis B, Utku S., Lazy Rich, and more!  I have also put together a Sunday broadcast on uStream starting at 7pm EST for the Next Era DJs!  Look for names from the Next Era DJ crew dropping some fresh tunes to get you in the right mood for any Monday surprises you may face.  On to the tunage!

First up is a hot new breakbeat from DJ Vize out of Portland, OR.  No stranger to breakbeats and a high octane live performance Vize is going to be having some killer releases out in March and April including Refuse on Bassbong.com!  Refuse features bouncy synth riffs and a grinding synth backing track throughout as well as progressive pads and a plethora of drum syncopation.  The mellow subby breakdown complete with the delayed stabs drives you right back into the proggy drop.  His bootleg 'Bout Money' will be released as a free download if he gets 20 shares on his post too!

Utku S. is absolute monster of a producer releasing tunes on Cassette as well as a ton of loop packs on loopmasters.  His style is always at the top of the game of whatever genre he's working in at the moment.  His latest breaks release on Beatport, 'My Life' is no exception.  I have been playing his tunes out for quite some time and I feel he doesn't get near the recognition that he deserves!  The latest on his soundcloud is a monster of a tune deserved to be caned hard.  His synth work is impeccable and is matched by few.  Check him out, I guarantee you'll be pleased.

No stranger to peaktime electro house, Revolvr is back at it again with a remix of Spencer & Hill.  The huge builds lead up to supreme breakdowns which I can already see rocking big rooms across the country.  His mixes as well as his tunes are great to have in your repertoire.  His mix from February is off the hook and highly recommended, have a look and a download below (it's free on iTunes through the Buy link).

Step your Fresh Up Fridays - Breaks, Shows, and BASS!

So we have a lot going on tonight in both Cincinnati and Columbus.  First off Cincitronics is throwing an industry night at Mac's Pizza Pub in Clifton featuring Dave Owen.  If you're a dnb addict, industry head, or just love having a good time it's the spot for you tonight in Cincinnati for EDM. Here's a sample of what Dave brings to the table, deep drum and bass vibes!

Next up in Columbus is ColumBASS 3.0 <Neon Light District> brought to you by Magua and Free Water at Bernie's Bagel and Deli.  Columbus really knows how to pack the place out with their last event reaching capacity at 10pm!  A few of the local faves always bring down the house with sounds ranging from dubstep to electro house and even some trip hop and hip hop thrown in the mix.  Whatever sounds you dig, you'll get your fill and then some...oh and did I mention $1 rum and coke?!  Sure to get crazy so be warned!  Here's the recording from last ColumBASS to get you right.

Now for the tracks to get you hyped.  Access Denied brings it to the table featuring vocalist Spoek Mathambo which you may have heard in the track "Invincible" with Missill.  Overall a killer glitchy breaks track with some awesome synth strings and a bit of dutch electro flavor.  Check the preview and be on the look for this to drop soon!

Starting out more techy than most electro house tracks, the LOOPERS bring us Bass Down Low featuring Cataracs.  A proper buildup to the drop and the distorted synth lead makes this one a winner in my eyes and I'm sure yours too.  The vocal hook is too catchy for the dance floor to avoid, drop it and find out for yourself -- free download at their site for posting on facebook or twitter.

With a classic house feel Treasure Fingers brings you this killer remix of Avicii and Sebastien Drums.  The vocal is unavoidably awesome and good til the last drop.  The filtered guitar, slap bass and quirky stabby synth seal the deal bringin' the funky good times.

Finally to leave you off with a bang, William Van Dyke and Timothy Getz re-edit of  Raw To Da Floor.  A killer re-edit will leave you wanting more and that's certainly what WVD and Timothy do.  Check his soundcloud for other re-works as well, constantly coming up with some great ish.  Enjoy your weekend as always and don't forget to step your fresh up!
