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!

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!

N-Funk or Nu-Funk...that is the question

NAPT brings it huge as usual with their latest funk and grime infused track "Bass" off of their upcoming EP.  This grinder of a tune has shimmering high end and bassbin destroying lows.  I really dig the fact that no matter NAPT is capable of infusing a multitude of emotions into one track.  Whether it's the call of the organ grinder of a lead synth or the response of the arpeggiated keys they've got it sounding crisp every time.  The breakdown is another point I really enjoy since it's got a bit of an oldschool rave feel with the keys they chose as long as a proper build.  I can't wait to hear the rest of the EP on July 24th!  Always a good time in store when NAPT is in the building.

Tim McVicar and Busta let loose with some serious tuneage in the newest release on Bombastic Jam "For the Money".  It's a new school fusion of elvis, strings, funky synths, and powerful drums to bring you sonic enjoyment on many levels.  The original mix is more of a chillspot tune while the Busta remix is an all out dancefloor swizzle stick...that's right ma'am, I'll have that shaken and stirred.  With quirky 8-bit sounds, grimey synths, and an all out funky rhythm it's got to get you right.  Keep on the lookout for new sounds from Bombastic Jam and enjoy the tunes.
