Step Your Fresh Up Fridays - Shockland + More

An extended selection of tracks featured in the Motorstorm Apocolypse soundtrack produced by Klaus Badelt and Elite Force hit retailers on the 13th of this month and is making big waves.  A genre-less release that will really get you thinking.  Industrial, dramatic, energetic, and bass heavy are the best descriptors for it in my book, but you can judge for yourself.  The sounds are unique, classical, and compelling and really put you into a space of your own.  Simon's unique sound combined with 70 piece orchestra is why this is such a bomb of a release.  That is something you will see in electronic music few and far between.  I even got my hands on a free 320 download for you.  Exclusive interview with Simon to follow, so for all those wondering what goes on inside that head of his, we'll get a bit of a peek.

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 ;)
