Program Selecta

Released by BomBeatz


One of the best up and coming producers in Florida gave me this monster track that has yet to leave my sets! Rob Analyze is easily becoming a sensation with each track he puts out. 'ProgramSelecta' drops some hard beats and basslines that's sure to be rockin the dancefloors for many years. The best part about this track is when the beat drops... the worst... when it ends!

10Sui feat. Ragga Twins – Bring Forth Ya Booty (Review)

10Sui feat. Ragga Twins

Bring Forth Ya Booty

Released by Mob


10Sui teamed up with infamous Ragga Twins on this UK Mob release. I'm very proud of this remix... I kept it as cool as I could (hopefully pleasing many) Droppin' some 'Booty Bouncer' type synths and hard kicks and snares. The track sizzles even at the speed of 131BPM, with some Reggaeton and Hip Hop influences in the latter part making this a nice party rocker that doesn't stop until the last delay of the FX.

Infiniti & Keith Mackenzie – Shadow (Review)

Infiniti & Keith Mackenzie

Shadow

Released by Illeven Eleven


It was an honor to be able to remix this classic floorbanger of a track. Toughest part here was to be respectful to the original so some of the traditional sounds are still there (because they are still that damn good!), however, slightly switched up and reversed like Kris Kross' jeans! The use of the vocal is also minimal except on the haunting breakdown, which proves that even the darkest track can light up a room with luscious pads and deep bass.

Hold Me Down

Released by Alternative Route


Ok. Some more self promotion, but I can't help with this one! Forthcoming on Desyn Masiello's Alternative Route label is this floor filler. The center of 'Hold Me Down' is a sample I found off an old disco record. Chopped and looped to fit, the sample rides the intro until it is filtered down into nothingness. What rises from the empty hole is a arpeggiated synth weaving and bending into a frantic dance. The song takes a turn and introduces a large breakbeat with the disco sample gated to ...

Electrified (Emjae and Jerome Robins Mix)

Released by Curvve


My studio mate from Release Records in Toronto joins me on this remix on Vinny Troia's Curvve label. This tune begins with a deep kick and snare reverbed to the heavens. A distorted stab soon enters mixed with some blips 'n' bleeps scattered throughout. A sub bass sneaks in, rounding off the sonic spectrum nicely. My favorite moments of this tune come when the snare builds into a frenzy with added sweeps rising over the top, eventually releasing you back to the groove. This song has many moments that ...
