Free Track - Free Mix - New Release - Welcome To The Universe Remix EP


Today we have a bag packed full of tricks and tunes for you! Firstly we have a brand new release from Skanky Panky Records, Sedge Warbler's "Welcome To The Universe Remixed".

We kick it off with a slam-dunk from K Lab and his remix of "Paranormal Ox Man". K Lab really delivers the goods on this EP with big hip-hop drums that grind against dirty bass jabs and glitched out vocals to create a true dance floor disruptor.

Next up we have SixAM, with a huge remix of "Octopus Lover", featuring funky bass and swinging drums that fuse together into a glitch hop banger!

Pushing up the tempo to 140 for a moment we come to a long-time tearout Breakbeat with Slim Blue's remix of "Terror Night". This future Jungle tune will have any dancefloor moving with it's old school D&B basslines that cruise along under the Jungle drums.

Back down to hip-hop territory we have newcomer Jiffster on the case with his remix of "Science Girls". It's a rump shaker, with squelchy funk wobbles and an off kilter choppy groove give this one a sound all it's own.

K Lab hits you again with another huge remix, this time of "Octopus Lover". You'll have no choice but to nod your head along to this groovy remix!

Closing it out we have the one and only Cut La Roc with his remix of "Science Girls"! Low slung beats and grinding basslines are the name of this game. Disco's super thug vocals are given space to breathe and paint a picture of space sluts, epileptic power rangers, and bionic synthesizers.

Free Track - OLMEC - Goody Goody


Starting the week with a free tune from the Kick It Blog never felt so good! We kick off this Monday afternoon with a fantastically swinging tune "Goody Goody" from Bristol based artist OLMEC, delivering massive bass and funk in one of his newest Electro House bangers!

The intro slams into effect with some amazingly nasty reverb over the funk fueled stabs! As the drums filter in to the forefront, this track already has you moving within the span of 8 bars! The breakdown works in with the old time vocals of "Goody Goody" and quickly turns into a balls to the wall, hard driving bass tune!

The song keeps you chugging along to the second breakdown which is short and sweet as you get thrown right back into the peak time movement of this classic tune. OLMEC definitely shines through with his newest freebie, declaring that he is definitely  an artist to keep tabs on!

Video - Bob Kats - Loudness War & Peace



Today we have a very interesting video for you to mull over as you take a break from producing and mixing. Bob Kats goes threw the years and gives you a rundown of how music has hit its loudness limit and that by 2020 we should be back to having dynamics and healthy ears once again!

This 20 minute video takes you from the quiet beginnings of the Compact Disc in 1980 through to Loudness Peace by the year 2020. It includes demonstrations of the loudest master Bob has ever had to make and paints a picture of what the art of audio mastering will be like once the loudness war has been settled.

Please take to heart what this video has to say about the music industry and the changes that we all hope will come to pass, sooner than latter. We can all start our part today by making sure our mixes and tunes are not over compressed and limited like a brick wall to save our ears and the ears of our listeners. Remember that mastering is not about making a song loud, its about bringing out clarity and dynamics within a song.

Free Track - Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime - Dave Berg Re-Bump


Today we have a fantastically large Re-Bump of Adrian Lux's "Teenage Crime" from the one like Dave Berg! From start to finish Dave Berg treats you to it all with big bass, amazing transitions, and melody that makes the original track memorable and massive!

Before the first breakdown gets close to dropping Berg throws in a bit of the vocals and a little low end to really make this tune come to life from the first eight bars. As the overwhelming drop hits the atmosphere fills up the room and pushes you towards the slamming Breakbeat that establishes this track as one to put in your peak time folder!!! 

Dave Berg is a self proclaimed audiophile and has a talented ear for music. At the age of 10 he 1st learned to play guitar and at the age of 13 formed his 1st band. At the age of 15 he was introduced to EDM and picked up DJing at the age of 17 which later led to Producing and the rest, they say, is history in the making.

Dave's mixes are a collective range of gut-wrenching, funky and audaciously epic dance music from start to end! Dave is always ahead of the game when it comes to the latest sounds consistently playing to packed dance floors everywhere, he is definitely a must-see DJ!

New Release - KIR273 - Kwerk - Please Don't w/ Remixes by Sneaker & The Dryer and Play Moore


The one like Kwerk is back and this time he’s brought us a funky but tough tuna entitled “Please Dont”. Grooving low ends and a Kwerky lead riff are paired up with male and female vox keeping things bouncing from beginning to end.

Sneaker & The Dryer return to Kick It as well with a Breaks remix of “Please Dont” that takes things in a whole different direction with a new bassline, loads of lasers, zaps, re-pitched and reversed vocals and plenty of change-ups to keep you on your toes. Track It Down.net have featured the S&D remix on their Breaks Chart this week and this is what they had to say - "Big sounds from the Kick It crew who throw down some sick party breaks."

Play Moore rounds things out with his Techier version of “Please Dont” which continues the Breakbeat theme of this release but brings in Electro low ends and a touch of Complextro on the edits, banging!

Free Track - Bingo Players - Disco Electrique - Kyle Cross Bootleg


Kyle Cross drops a funky bootleg of Bingo Players "Disco Electrique" that will have you hitting the dance floor like John Travolta! This tune features peak time vocals and a driving Electro bass line that holds it's own as it moves you around!     

For many years Kyle Cross has explored and searched for different styles of dance music, in the beginning he was primarily focused on Hard Dance music under the alias Lanky. Learning how to work a crowd with good track selection and seamless mixing, he has had the chance to play across Western Canada.

In the following years Kyle slowly traded the aggressive beats for funkier basslines and under the alias of Kyle Cross he started pushing the Breakbeat and Electro sound he is known for today. With influences such as Krafty Kuts, NAPT, Pyramid, Far Too Loud, Davip and Freestylers, Kyle Cross seeks to drive you onto the dancefloor by playing anything with a heavy bassline!

Not happy with just DJ'ing he took up producing his own music, his first EP was met with a top 20 placing on the Beatport Breaks chart! Since then he has has had multiple featured releases on top dance sites such as Beatport & Trackitdown.

New Release - Chemical Language - We Want Your Soul EP


Today we have a new release from Chemical Language on Big Alliance Records, out May, 14, 2012. The four track EP "We Want Your Soul" features some massive peak time tunes, jam packed with all the energy you would expect from a dance floor smasher of this magnitude!

Chemical Language is Nir Ben Shoushan from Miami Florida, originally from Israel where he studied music production at Yoav Gera Sound College. There is not much else that is know about Chemical Language other than he enjoys playing various instruments including the guitar and piano.

The first track "Panic" gives you a good feel for the EP as a whole, hitting you with big business right off the bat. The breakdown is fantastic with some hilarious vocal samples that act as the glue holding the track together to give you a fun tune to play out.

Following the madness of the first song "Tonight" starts off with a long Dubstep break and quickly turns into a funky Electro House banger. With some vocoder like vocals and some far out spacy sounds, this one is perfect for rocking in the club.

The title track of the EP "We Want Your Soul" is a Dubstep listeners dream, big synths, huge drums, and some ominous vocals to set it off!  This one is a must own, mostly due to the Steven Hawking like vocals that are more than enjoyable, proclaiming to you  that "we want your soul".

Closing things out is a very cheeky Dubstep tune about Tim Leary named "Dr Leary". This track has a giant feel to it and some very interesting samples that make it extremely unique.

All and all this is bound to be a chart topping release for Chemical Language and Big Alliance Records, grab your copy May 14th!
