Free Tune - EXCLUSIVE - Luke Francis - A Girl Like You - Kick It Breaks Edit

Today we've got a sweet little Breaks edit for you all. Luke Francis comes from Hamburg Germany. That's about all I can tell you about him. What I can tell you is that  "A Girl Like You" takes it's samples and vocals from the Edwyn Collins original from 1994. The original tune has a great 60s feel to it with haunting vocals and excellent guitar. The Luke Francis version draws directly from this and takes it to the next level giving it a bangin Electro House twist. Those of you lucky enough to follow this blog get your own version to drop. Kick It turns the track on it's side with a Breaks Edit. Definitely one to have in your collection! Enjoy.

Free Tune - Buy Now - Bodycrash - Streetlife Djs Remix

Today's hot fire is being brought to you by The Streetlife Djs. Their remix of By Now's "Bodycrash" is glitchy, funky, bangin shit! The Streetlife Djs are smoking right now and this one is no exception. Twix commercial reminiscent vocals start this one off. Futureistic sounds is the idea here with tons of bleeps, blips, and edits! Hard driving kicks light up the woofers and crunchy snares make your tweeters snap. If you drop this on a dancefloor and people don't go off, they should have stayed home :)

Free Tune - Wiley - Never Be Your Woman - Solo Loves Garage Remix

So I have come across a few tunes of late with island sounding drums in them. I have to say I have really been digging the sound. Here is a real vocal banger that makes good use of them. Solo, remix Wiley's new track "Never Be Your Woman". This business is hot fire my friends. Zappy bass mixed with deep woblling bass are set about a garage beat. Island drums, awesome vocals and Spanish guitar (also popular as lately) complete the package in a fantastic way. Taking a sample from White Town's "Your Woman" from 1997. If you like tracks with sex appeal, this one is dripping it with a good dose of funk on top!

Featured Artist - Lightshapers - UK - Free Tune

Today we are talking about UK based up and comers Lightshapers. After recently releasing their tune, certain circumstances caused the track to be pulled from distribution. Now it along with the remix parts are available, for download, for free! The tune I'm referring to is "Retaliation" and it's some serious business!! Slammin beats and crisp sound kick things off in the right direction. After the 1st break a mean but not angry bassline gets down to work with a "funk" sample placed in just the right spots. This one is definitely making rotation in my sets right now! Lightshapers are also putting out all kinds of beats including D&B and Dubstep with other free downloads available.

New Release - KIR231 - Farace & Stacy Osorio - South Walker

Just out today on Kick It Recordings is our latest release "South Walker". Farace & Stacy Osorio join forces for this bass driven club banger. On the original a dope vocal gets the proper treatment and rolling pads set a laid back tone with big room breaks keeping you moving. Zappy bass and snappy snares compliment the vocal piece as well.

TID Featured Track - "Really cool vibes on this fresh electro breaks cut from Kick It Recordings. Create house and electro vibes with chunky plump breaks to make the link between the two biggest sounds around. Dive in!"

The 2nd mix is of the Dubstep stylee and it keeps the same chilled out melodic feel. It's a different type of Dubstep tune then you're probably used to and if you are not a fan of the genre, this one might change your mind. Farace and Stacy Osorio - "Can you feel it?"
