Monday Music Menagerie

Baymont Bross are at it again with their latest two track release on Pooty Club with a dutchy beat to get you bouncing.  Where's the Beat has a less edgy dutch lead and hits hard with booming kicks.  A full up intro to the drop gets it set off proper.  The vocal and instrumental stabs make for a breaker's dream.  MC Alaska is featured in Have Some Fun and bring it on with him.  You can't resist groovin' to this one.  The strings in the breakdown make for some great suspense, and it is not overdone.  The beat drops right back in to finish it off right.  Check the release when it drops!

Jesse is a nonstop MONSTER of re-rubs and As We Enter is no exception!  I love the arrangement, it's similar to the Foamo remix from a while back.  If you dig bangin' breaks and a hip hop tempo change you'll be in heaven.  The free download as always for everyone to get a piece.

8*B1T brings is hard on Yellow Finger records with his Barb Wired remix.  Heavy synths and filter modulation have you shaking in your set just wanting to get up and dance...so do it!  Booming bass drums and an acidic feel are always a good combo and this just proves it.

Access Denied crushes it with his horn filled funky intro into Balkan Mountains.  The intro continues to develop into a huge drop with a latin feel throughout.  If you're a moombahton fan you'll be sure to dig this at a higher tempo.  Although it's just a preview, Access Denied guarantees a banger of a release!

What time is it again?  Oh yeah...11:11  To top it off we have Krisp from I11even Eleven taking you away with his Summer 2011 breaks mix.  Not only a killer producer but a hell of a DJ too!  Nuff said on this one, cop the download, drop the top down, roll around town!

Step Your Fresh Up Fridays: The Aftermath

After one of the most exhausting weekends of partying, networking, and all around madness (ahh DEMF...), it's time for some serious tunes to bring us back to it.  As we approach the onset of summer, SMiRK from Dance Hard Die Hard provides us with a mix of tunes that go boom.  Ranging from aggressive DnB to breaks with that summer vibe, electro house and dubstep, he makes it clear that it's time to get down.  Broken beat masterminds and 4/4 fiends litter the tracklist and come together to make this mix proper beyond proper.  I was so excited when I saw the tracklist because I have a lot of them in store for you all myself...now on to the show!  The mix is available for download here or just click link to begin playing.  Enjoy and props to SMiRK for always going outside the box when mixing...run it selecta!

Tracklisting:

All around breakbeat dominator -- Elite Force

 

A seasoned veteran DJ and producer, Elite Force (Simon Shackleton) has been churning out tunes for the last 14 years and playing shows across the globe.  A true heavyweight of remixes and originals Simon is a sure shot as can be seen in the burning man vid from the Opulent Temple stage.  I mean really, there's a button for the DJ to shoot fire at will from the top of a giant obelisk...pretty much incredible.  That being said his releases have a sound to match, being featured on LOT49 and U&A Recordings and new free remixes on his website on the regular.  His sound has developed over the years from Tech-Funk to Dubstep and in between, but there is a common theme: bass heavy EDM to keep the crowd wanting more.  His latest remix of MJ Cole and Nero is posted below for you to check out.  The overall sound combines piercing vocals as well as the grinding lead synths and sub-bass that is a staple in his tracks as of late.  Check his site for new tracks and promo materials as well.  I've found quite a few killer tracks that he's gracious enough to release to us at no charge.  Listen and enjoy!
