Paul Van Dyk, not exactly...

Big things are coming on the regular from Michigan native William Van Dyke.  His breaks style can range from old school to new, wobbles to heavy booty bass, he's got it all.  Having been putting out re-rubs for the last year he's polished his production skills and ready to melt faces with his sounds.  Not only a DJ, but major player in the midwest breaks culture, William throws events under his production company Dirty Beatz promotion.  If you were in Michigan last summer you probably heard the hype about "Dude Where's My Tent 2"which brought big names from all around including DJ Dan, 12th Planet, and Reid Speed.  His newest track hits e-tailers this Friday on Drop The World.  A brilliant build into some b-boy samples then on with the boom clap boom boom clap...it's got a classic breaks vibe as well as a newschool flavor...to the tune!

Next up is a remix of one of those aforementioned heavyweights, DJ Dan.  D*Funk brings it again with a remix of DJ Dan's "Chop Shop".  D*Funk is a breakbeat wonder from down under that brings out the groovy downtempo breaks along the lines of A.Skillz up to the dirtiest of electro breaks.  His label Upstart Music has some solid party tracks to get the floor going and even some bouncy cheeky ish to get silly to.  After all is said and done, D*Funk doesn't fake the funk, he just provides it.  Check his soundcloud for a SICK free track 'Ripgroove'.  I would give you the direct player here, but you have to check out the rest ;)

THIS JUST IN FROM OUR FRIENDS ACROSS THE POND!  Life Support Machine has featured the Chop Shop boot as a FREE DOWNLOAD!!!  Get over there and check it out!  Keep in touch with Life Support Machine for hot new tracks and exclusive downloads.

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!
