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!

True Party Rockers A.Skillz & Specimen A

A.Skillz just released his series of vinyl bootlegs in mp3 format available for download here.  Not only that but he also released a mix that in under 30 minutes, encompasses practically the entire series (vol 1-10) of bootlegs!  Not only are his bootlegs some of the freshest out there, but his skills on the decks are to match.

Next up is Specimen A with a proper bootleg of "Wicked" Wilson Pickett's - In the Midnight Hour.  The original is a classic R&B track released on Atlantic Records in 1965 recorded in Nashville at Stax Records where Pickett made his big break.  As a kid I listened to oldies music on the local radio station with my dad and remember almost every word to a certain few classics, this being one of them.  This remix may have a nostalgic effect on me, but I can guarantee it will rock the dancefloor the same.

What do Russia and Australia have in common?

I've been posting some Russian breaks for some time now, most with a pretty in your face aggressive tone.  This remix of Specimen A by Kid Digital is no exception, although with a touch of funk.  Kid Digital is never short of impressive on all his releases, including the freebie remix of Whoomp There It Is!  Grab it while you can and do it to it.

Not only a great producer of smashing bootlegs, Philly Blunt takes it on the original tip on Ground level with the brain-tickling techy breaks track "Never Get Enough".  When I said brain tickling, I mean the fuzzy lead synth that just gets inside your head so easily!  Check the track, cop the track, bang the track at the club, bang the track in your bedroom, bang to the track, whatever your fancy, just do it!

Gettin' Slimey and Magua's Mix

Sludge Records is steadily dropping great tracks and the latest from Specimen A keeps up to par. The vibe from sludge is that of intelligent dub, grimey yet refined enough to make anyone get down. Donna Dee's vocals fit like a glove in this track and the overall energy of Sludge. It reminds me of the Deekline and Wizard track with Yolanda - Ready For Your Love.  Love the female vox, love the slimey synths, love the total package, check the preview.

Magua from Columbus is up to no good with a new Electro House mix posted up just last night.  Check the download for sure as this is a keeper you'll be putting on your iThing in no time...  Filled with a ton of great tracks including that of Columbus's own Digiraati. Peep the mix, leave a comment!

Chase and Status Remix by Specimen A

 

Specimen A drops this bomb of a remix of Chase and Status for the remix competition.  Starting off with Delilah's piercing vocals the track has a great feel from the beginning.  It peaks just right and has that emotional touch all the way through to the drum and bass outro.  It tells the story both with the instrumental and the vocals, a rare find these days.  You can find the remix parts on the Chase and Status website for those producers that want to give it a shot.  It's a great opportunity to get the high quality parts of the track to do with what you do.  Hope to hear some killer mixes from locals and beyond!
