Happy Monday everyone out there in Breakbeat land. Hopefully you all had a good weekend. Now, we now that I focus mostly on Free and Easy to Download tunes here at The Kick It Recordings Blog but sometimes a like to change it up a little and provide something that's either entertaining or informational, or both. That's where we are going with today's post. First up we've got an instructional? video on, "How to make a Daft Punk Helmet in 17 Months". This video and build is courtesy of Harrison Krix and holy shit this guy is one crafty son-of-a-bitch!! He had to teach himself how to make circuit boards among other things for this incredible project. I love talented people and this guy built one kick-ass Daft Punk Helmet, holy crap I want one!! I have also included a link to the blog where he has outlined the steps and included many pics, some of which are below.
Next up we have a video from Tiesto Live at Ultra Music Festival 2010 in Miami. Yes, that's right I said Tiesto. Now he is actually probably one of the last people I would think I would be talking about on a Breakbeat blog, no offense to him. I'm not particularly a fan of his music or Trance for that matter. That being said "C'Mon" by Tiesto Vs Diplo is an amazing track! It's Trance I guess but it could fit into many styles of sets including Break, just the way it is. Trust you me I have dropped this original one or two times. The production on this track is stellar and so fresh and so clean clean. It's as full as can be and as wide as a hippo. The synth line when played alone takes up almost the entire spectrum of sound making at one massive lead while the kicks punch right through really driving things. The "C'Mon" vocal sample has real energy to it and it just pushes up the intensity even further. Unlike most Trance tracks, this one is not nineteen minutes long and wraps things up in just over five minutes, pretty quick for an EDM tune. The main breakdown hits at just over two and a half minutes in and it's about as epic as you could ask for. The primary sweep has a human and vocal feel to it that will send shivers up your spine. I figured including the video with the massive crowd and ridiculous stage production just adds to the visceral feel this track provides. There I did it, I wrote about Tiesto :)
Of course, just to keep you coming back for more, we've got a free version of this one as well. If you just can't drop that 4/4 and gotta have your Breakbeat, then you can thank reFaze for supplying us all with his edit. Retaining most of the original feel, reFaze breaks the beat and chops things up a bit adding a bit of spice to things. Again, the main breakdown gets right to business so you never get bored. You can check out more good stuff from reFaze on his Soundcloud page. Put your hands in the air!!
