Farace Friday - Loads of Free Stuff!

Yes that's right everybody, Friday is upon us once again and the weekend has arrived! That means it's Farace Friday as well and we've got some tasty goodies today for you guys to scarf up. Starting things off is the phenomenal follow up to Farace's "Out At Night" Volume 2 which is now available for download for one and all! Check the number because Dj Dan's "Operator" has got the line kicking things off in proper fashion with some quick layering on the three-way. Farace does a masterful job of this mix, seamlessly sewing together nineteen tracks and nine loops in just under an hour’s time keeping the energy high and the beats pumping hard. If you're heading out to the club tonight, pop this one in the dash to get the crew fired up!
Next up we've got the first of two free tunes from Farace. The names Dresden and Johnston are without a doubt well known in the Dance Music Industry and hundreds of thousands of kids have had their hands in the air to their melodic tunes and pulsing beats. Farace turns out a grooving and chunky lyrical stormer that's sure to earn some smiles and cheers. Tormented violins and pained vocals are accompanied by monster kicks and moving pads to create a peaceful but pounding piece with swung out beats giving it an almost Breakbeat feel.
Last up we've got a classic from Farace now available for FREE. Sonic Bee Ft. Chunk n Attack's "Nu Skool Skank" the Farace Remix is a peak time banger with ravey synths and vocal samples, a brawny bassline and a good dose of guitar to give it that rock edge. Right on the border of Breakbeats and House, this one should do well for either crowd with it's Kick/Snare 4/4ish break and heaps of change ups, edits, and intensity.

Free Tune - Ramstein "Du Hast" Bombs Away Bootleg

We're switching things up a little bit today with something a little more on the Electro House side. My taste in music is about as varied it is for food and I eat just about everything. I like tunas from raw and rugged Drum & Bass to soulful vocal House, and from Pink Floyd, to Type O Negative to Simon and Garfunkel and everything in-between. Although, you can keep your country music ;) Anyway, my point is I try to keep things interesting here on the blog and today we've got something with a bit of Dirty Loud flavor to it. I'm sure the majority of you lot out there remember the strangely popular one hit wonder from Ramstein "Du Hast". Trying to find another song like that in pop music is not going to be an easy task but this one managed to have its day and as a teen at the time, I was singing "You hate me" myself for sure! So when I saw the name "Ramstein" as I was digging through Soundcloud, I had to stop and check it out. Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised as the Bombs Away boys from Australia have done a fine job taking a menacing tune and turning it into something fun, banging and club worthy. Consisting of three Aussies, each of the guys has a musical background that brings a unique element to their shows. Thomas Hart was the kid that never shut up, a B Boy from the age of 13 under the alias Orpheous earned him the crown of many beat boxing, MC championships before moving on to production and rocking Beatport's Top100 as Thomas Hart. Sketch's influence comes from playing guitar (badly) in a plethora of (crappy) Rock & Punk bands then moving on to DJing hoping he could actually be good at something, taking out #53 Nationally in the ITM DJ POLL along with BEST ELECTRO DJ in the PD Music Awards. Jackness, the token Asian guy, studied classical music with years of violin training (but still can’t play it). As fate would have it, the three have come together and are putting forth some phat and chunky crowd pleasers. Check out their remix of Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me" for a vocal wobbler. Today though we're talking about "Du Hast" which starts off with housey hats and a filtered Kick. Sixteen in and the business drops getting things moving. Twisted Tetris-esque synths stab in and out before revealing the tracks true intentions. Zippy leads and grooving bass come back but only for a moment only to dip right back out for another quick breakdown and then it's all goodness from there with little crunched up rock guitar licks keeping it spicy. You can't help but move to this one.

Free Stuff - Mr. Sofalumpkins aka T Power - Free Tune and Mix

We've got more free business up for grabs today. You know how they always tell you not to be a couch potato, well apparently being a Sofalumpkins is not nearly as bad. I know this because when you become a Sofalumpkins, you make banging Breakbeat music for the masses.
"He who they love. He who they fear. He who they cheer. He who they smear.Four shades of insanity for he who is dear.He who they love. He who they fear. He who they cheer. He who they smear.Defiant of age as a deviant of time, my favorite toy is still your mind."
But who could this man of mystery behind the jokers mask be? This bombardier of bass? Well it's Breaks & D&B pioneer T-Power having a bit of fun with a new alias. Granted I put in hours of detective work to bring you the inside scoops but you can also find out more about the mystifying Mr. Sofalumpkins on his website. The "Masquerade" EP is due out in November on all the digital sites but you can grab it now on the Genius Skills’ website and I can guarantee you it's chock full of good stuff. The first tune of the bunch is "Defender VIP" which starts out with a piano laden and eerie intro. Subfocus-like bass informs you this is not going to be your mama's music. Bouncy and Fidget-esque beats start things off with healthy doses of edits and sampling and Amen rolls on the eights. It then switches gears into an Electro Breaks groover with tons of funk in the trunk. Next up is "Hustler's Convention" Ft. Think Tank and the sign above the door says "Welcome Back to Funkytown"! Straight off you can feel the infectious vibe of this one with little vox and guitar stabs cutting through the punchy beat. A couple of disco edits and we're rockin out on the floor in a guerilla suit with a feather in our hat to the funked out old school vocals of Think Tank. Zappy bass and killer horns round things out. The third track in the EP is "Day The Funk Died" which starts off with wobbly and bendy bass quickly morphing into a Jazzy breakdown with a four string backing. Rounding things out is "12th Night" with its dubby bassline and techy beats. "Masquerade" is a solid package all the way around that I'm sure will be finding its way into the earholes of many. If it's free business you're after then check out Mr. Sofalumpkins Bootleg Mix of MIA's "Sunflowers". Cheeky vocals and Hip Hop drums mingle with rich sub frequencies for a short and sweet crowd pleaser. We've also got Mr. Sofalumpkins Dj Mix which is loaded with big riddim goodies like "Massive Flailing Retard" and the tough and catchy "Forgot About Dre" Bootleg. You can also check out a short video of Mr. Sofalumpkins rocking a crowd at Soundwave in 2009.
