Happy hump day friends and neighbors. I hope everyone's week is off to a good start! We are having amazing weather here in New England with record breaking temps today!! But I'm not your local meteorologist and I'm sure you'd rather hear about music so let's get down to business. Today we're talking about Westbam's "Hard Times" and the Electrixx Remix. Maximilian AKA Westbam was born in Germany in 1965 and in 1984 he moved to Berlin to further his djing career. He has been rocking the decks in Germany since that time including the first Love Parade in Berlin 1989. In 1991 he organized the first Mayday rave and with over 5,000 attendees, it was the largest event of this kind at the time in Germany! Westbam is still out there kicking ass on the 1's and 2's as well as organizing events and he continues to release original tunes. Westbam is also a long standing member of the Members of Mayday. "Hard Times" retains much of the original feel as the Run DMC track it gets it samples from while adding a techno groove to it. Putting a serious spin on it, no pun intended, are Electrixx. Electrixx also hail from Berlin Germany and this duo has an arsenal of releases and remixes. They engineer some serious beats with ridiculous basslines. Their remix of Tetris is insane to say the least and their take on Westbam's "Hard Times" is no exception. Thick driving bass, and glitchy edits make this track a peak time tuna to the max! J2K rubs a little breakbeat action on the original 4/4 with his Re-Edit. And of course, you can only get it here!Electrixx on Myspace -http://www.myspace.com/electrixxx
