Step Your Fresh Up Fridays - DEMF Weekend!

With DEMF this weekend I know people are about to get all kinds of crazy so here are some tunes that I think will help you get with it.  Some groovy, some bangers, and even some for that late night hotel chill session to wind down.

Some of my favorite emcees to ever hit the stage make a guest appearance in D*Funk's bootleg of Linguistics by Jurassic 5.  The groove of this tune stays true to how J5 would have it, but with a bit of a twist.  A UK hip hop bounce track always makes me feel good, and this does just that.  D*Funk is definitely not a stranger to the more techy true breakbeats as well.  He has quite a few releases on Upstart Music that are bangers for sure.

Booty poppin' breaks delivered fresh out the oven from Sharaz!  I'm a huge fan of booty bass of any genre and here's a big DJ Funk remix ready to shake asses.  Check out his site for info and all things upcoming at http://www.dropthatbass.com/

A man who needs no intros in the breakbeat world, DJ Fixx  along with Keith McKenzie just dropped three new remixes of DJ Icon, Paul Anthony & ZXX, and Southpaw!  Dutchy, dirty, and groovin' breaks with the signature KMFX treatment is what it's all about, get ill.

Wind down your night just right with an original from Louisville's house legend.  Glenn Giles does it just right, whether GFG, Unkle Funk, or the numerous other moniker's he brings it proper.  Deep, sexy, funky, whatever flavors of house music you dig, here you go!  Make sure to check the mix mentioned in a previous post from the Wisemen Promotion's launch party for a longer groove accompanied by Firecat 451 on the mic for your aural pleasure.

Louisville Rocks It In More Ways Than One

Being on the up and up for some time now Louisville, KY is home to quite a few big contributors to our local EDM culture and beyond.  First, I'll say that pretty much any party I've been to in Louisville has had a great energy about it and that goes for their talent as well; after all, they do provide the boom.  From House, Techno, and Breaks to Dubstep and everywhere in between, they pretty much have it going on in one way or another.  Events are thrown all the time, but the people that contribute to them make them what they are.

el PRODUKDo is one of my favorite breaks DJs from the area, but that's not where he stops.  His sets cover almost any genre that you could possibly want to hear.  He's a very versatile DJ that I first saw when I played at Auditory Hallucination with Monk at the old Fuzion.  I hadn't danced that hard in a long time as he was tagging with DJ Sarge and dropped some HOT originals.  Check his latest mix for a trip through it all, breaks, rock, rap, even a hot glitched out Super Mario remix intro...

Another ville'n to look out for is Glenn Giles aka Unkle Funk aka G.F.G.  With residencies in Louisville and Nashville under his belt as well as his website featuring a weekly podcast, he is doing the city proud.  Glenn doesn't only mix but produces house as well.  With a touch of sex appeal, Glenn's deep vibes shine through in his latest track "Streetlite Searchparty".  Check it out below and leave some love on his soundcloud!
