Happy anniversary everybody! What am I talking about you might ask yourself? Well, today is the one year anniversary of the Kick It Recordings Blog!! I started this blog so that we would have a place to give away some free tunes, not really thinking much of it at the time but man has it come a long way since then. This blog has become something I am very passionate about and it is now a big part of my day to day business. I am always hunting for new material to bring you guys and girls and I try to keep the blog informative without getting stale. With over 200 tracks given away in our first year many of which were Exclusives, some great interviews from top artists that you can't get anywhere else, and nearing 35,000 views, we are just getting going and 2011 is going to be one massive year! You keep reading and I'll keep the free business coming at you. While you're here don't be afraid to leave a comment or two and let me know what you would or would not like to see, the feedback is always appreciated. Don't forget to follow the blog via Networked Blogs and Facebook by clicking the "Follow This Blog" button on the right hand tab. This will allow you to keep up with the blog right from your Facebook account making it easier than ever! Big ups to all of our readers and thanks for the support!
Russian mastermind Mars has been doing big things in the Breakbeat scene for quite some time now and with his own label XSSR on its sixteenth release, he is keeping up the pace. Their latest release has two of my favorite artists on remix duties. "Chutzpah of This Day" is coming at you buy way of Elastic Fish from Moscow. Tough Drum & Bass breaks and airy pads are the main focus as things get under way. Heavy bass and winding changes work you over until the phat lead guitars pierce through complimenting the wobbling bassline. Quick little vox samples grab year ears attention and are gone again before you know it. Peter Paul puts his techy twist on things and the feeling is different right from the first beat. Making good use of the guitars and wasting no time in doing so a quick break drops you in the vocals and then bam, back at it. Trancey, synth heavy and driving, this has Peter Paul written all over it and it's dope. Bringing in some 80's flavor midway through adds another side to the track pushing the energy higher. A killer change up sets off the main breakdown with the return of the axe building it way up! Bringing things the other way, Deenk rounds out the package with his hard and aggressive style. Pads filter in over punchy kicks and snares making way for the leads as it progresses. A quick Dub break and wind down leaves you hanging before the business slams back in with authority. Driving bass and big edits make for a top tuna. Pick up the package wherever you get your digital music.
