FREEDOM (Myagi Bootleg Mix) - for FREE!

About 5-6 years ago, me and Myagi were talking.  We were discussing what tunes we'd like to hear bootlegs get done of.  This was well before the whole mashup craze, and during a time where people were VERY hesitant to do bootleg mixes for fear of the wrath of the majors.

I issued a challenge to him.  I suggested he do a bootleg of George Michael's 90's tune "Freedom", as it's one of my all time favorite songs.  He got really excited and got to work.

He's done a couple versions over the years... none of them overly good.  Recently, as his production has improved drastically, he took another stab at it.  Finally, after half a decade in the works, he got it right.  

And, to make it better, he's giving it away for free!  So, I present to you...  "Freedom"

TC - Where's My Money (D-Monic Transition Edit)

So... this is no big deal, really...

A couple weeks ago I played a great little mixed genre party and I followed one of Toronto's best 

D&B DJ's, DJ Spinz!  A lot of DJ's are afraid to play mixed genre parties, and more are afraid to follow D&B DJ's as they think the tempo change is too drastic.  So I fixed that.

Here's a very quick edit I did to use as a quick tool to get the tempo down while keeping the energy hi

gh.  I combined the original of TC's hit "Where's My Money" with the huge Caspa remix.  The response was huge!

This is far from a musical remix masterpiece...  it's just a simple DJ tool...

Werd.

BASEMENT JAXX - Twerk

You know when you haven't heard from an artist in a long time... thats usually a sign that they're working on something big.  Then, you almost forgot about that artist... then BAM!  They're back!

Basement Jaxx are responsible for some of EDM's biggest anthems.  If I ever want to wake a crowd up, I'll sample in 'Fly Life'.  And who doesn't know the words to 'Where's Your Head At'?

The boys are back!  And, as the brilliant artists that they are, they're new sound is very current while still keeping very Jaxx-esque.  This one will rock the dancefloor...  it'll grow on you.  :)

Atomic Hooligan Remix of Groove Armada

Atomic Hooligan did an official remix of Groove Armada's "The Girls Say" last year that was supposed to be released.  Due to label problems it was never released and doesn't look like it ever will be.

The Hooligan boys got word of this from Groove Armada themselves and were told that they can do whatever they want with the remix.  They sent it to me, I pass it on to you.

Send your friends here to the blog to get this tune (and the others that are available for free).  Spread the word about Club Phunk!

You Wanna Walk Wit Yo Friends???

In 2005, I was asked by the people of Vinyl Syndicate to do a breaks mix of their ragga jungle hit 'Walk Wit Yo Friends' from their ragga sub-label Crunk Vinyl.  So, I got the vocal, and headed to the studio with super engineer Locuss and got to work.  

We worked on it periodically for months and got near done...  got a 256kbs MP3 bounced so I could test it out...  then the files were lost.

This is the only version in existence.  I've played it religiously, it was featured on my hugely popular Don Dada mix, and now I pass it on to you...  the blogosphere.

Enjoy it.

Pronobozo... Oh, the talent we Canadians have hiding in our collective bedrooms...

I was reminded about an album I almost released on one of my now de-phunked labels.  I gave it another listen recently and it's still as good as I remembered it.  We have so many great artists in this city (and country) that we don't even know about.

Here's one of my fav's from the album:

New American Tech Funk Bizness

Sinister Records in the UK is about to release their 35th single in the coming months.  The release is from Sam Hell and the tune is called 'Gun Club'.  The package is quite good with mixes from Badlands, Hedflux, and Rektchordz.

We've received word that fairly new American producers Stephen Cole and Matthew McCurry did a mix for this release, but it's not going to be included.  From their e-mail:

On behalf of Stephen Cole and I (Matthew McCurry), we would like to share with all of those who recieved the Gun Club package, our mix that will not be released. We felt that we could at least get some kind of promotional use out of it, if nothing else.  All feedback welcome!!

For those that are into the tech-funk sound, you'll be all over this mix.  For more info on these producers, check:
