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.

New Rubs, New Mixes, Fresh Ish Period

First off is a re-rub of a Peo de Pitte original tune.  I really dig the arrangement of both the original and re-rub and how Raj stays dominantly true to the intended feel of the original instead of completely taking his own take on it while kicking up the tempo at bit too.  Consistently good re-rubs from Raj coming steadily makes him one to watch.  Links to the original tune, the rub, and Raj's latest mix below.

Next up Kwerk is back at it with grinder of a remix of Manila Sound and a bangin' Wolfgang Gartner remix as well.  Manila sound stays in the groove just right with the quirky lead synth and grinding subs, right up my alley.  Lovin' the vocal samples throughout, and the build is just right too.  Don't sleep on this release when it drops on Kick It!  Next the WG remix is off the hook!  Really dig the switch in the drums from breaks to dubstep alternating every couple bars, it hits the spot right on.  Definitely going to be dropping this at my next gig.  Check out more from Kwerk on the regular, he's a busy guy on the production end.

Coming full speed as usual is Elite Force's new taster of Captain America.  It's a driving breaks track that will take you through the darkest swamps leaving you a sweaty mobbed out fool.  Luda's vocals even make a cameo appearance getting it right in time.  All in all a truly sick track.

Here's a killer breaks/dubstep mix by a good friend of mine from the Dayton, OH area relocated to L.A.  His track selection is great as well as super clean mixing.  If you're on the left coast and see DJ Sprocket on the lineup make sure to head out and have a listen, guarantee you won't be able to stand still.

DJ Assault vocals hit it right every time...even though it's just a preview make sure to have a listen.  Rat Records is always bringing some heavy 808 bass to get you shakin' it.  Viro and Rob Analyze bring it right up on a silver booty laiden platter.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you don't want to absolutely dance your pants off and need a bit of a chill moment, Kouncilhouse delivers.  Scarlett Quinn's vocals are stunning and the instrumental matches.  The ethereal feeling throughout really puts emphasis on the main focus of the tune, the vocals. I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more of Scarlett soon enough so stay on the lookout!
