Bouncin' Up Higher

You may or may not have heard about the FreakYIslanD J Gib collaboration, Grass Roots. A party to bring the island back to our broken beat roots, with a grand master behind the decks headlining our funk stage and a surprise DnB headliner on the DnB stage that will blow you away.There is so many talented DJs, so many I may as well post the event page.

The flyer is in the works!

Grass Roots

Stickybuds is also playing at Hush on March 26th, more info is soon to come about that event so stay posted about a lineup, tickets and more. This show is being hosted by Wide Open Media, a crew responsible for some of the sickest shows of the island.

Here is a little taste of what Stickybuds might drop at these up coming shows. I love his newest production, check it out on soundcloud or on his myspace

Stickybuds - Big Mouth by Stickybuds~

Why not? A little something something from Matty Blades, a re-edit of J-Rocs protest. These are two very sick producers from Australia. A mash up with Buffalo Springfield :)

Been too long

Hey all, sorry for the lack of blog posts but I am pleased to say there will be many FreakYIslanDStyleY events in the future. In the mean time I will flood your ears with more tunes!!

Zenit Incompatible has brought some good vibes so far, plus pushing a nice Nu-Funk feel brings me joy. He is a terrific producer from Hungary and this new set blows me off the wall. Nu Funk mashups, mid tempo, breaks ect. whats not to love!

I was waiting for our logo to be finished but Neon Steve's remix of AC Slater's Hello is something that I just can't hold from the public. His productions astound me!!!

Y@ and Charles King are dropping some bombs, watch out for them for upcoming shows. A live set sure to please.

Whoa, Grenade on FB 

This track is having a hard time imbedding, so here are the soundcloud and mediafire links.

Great work guys!!

A few tracks by BUSTA from Australia. He has quickly come into our radar and we must book him! Everything that we have heard from him astounds and amazes us. He is from Sydney Australia and has been behind the wheels of steel for 10 years now and producing for 6. I personally am very stoked to see him come to Vancouver Island, you will be happy to hear whats coming out of those monitors when he drops some real funk. Props on the productions BUSTA, I can't wait to hear more!!

I know I started the youtube channel based on helping our local producers, these two tracks are just too infectious to keep from immortalizing on youtube! After all this music captures a special part of the island vibe and vocalized it.

local disco love

Y@ sent me a new track last night, an insane remix of Shiny Toy Guns. It has been a while since I have posted anything without a broken beat. Right on Y@, keep up these productions and you will go further than you ever dreamed.

This is the first local production I have ever released the download for. He asked me to share it and rightfully so, this track should be on everyones mp3 player. For today, I will post only the streaming and download link. Don't worry this track will be immortalized on the FreakYIslanDStyleY youtube channel but a soundcloud stream vs. a youtube stream.... No comparison on quality of sound.

Now for a bit of an older set of his, its really enjoyable. Personally I love the electro sounds of a few years ago.

y@ -Scrambled Eggs

Funk and Disco are two very similar genres. I can barely keep strait half the time. Genres, sub-genres and the sub-genres of sub-genres and classifying all of this can be a little confusing sometimes. So I appologize if I incorrectly label a track or set by genre.

This however is truly, truly funky music by Jpod of the Stickypod Connection.

For all the mainstreamers who might be reading, don't worry the dubstep will be back. Dubstep, its been around for years and years as an underground genre and to give some tempo change to an otherwise regular set. Will dubstep still be around in a year or two? Yes but not played as much which might add to its intensity and bring back the love I once had for it.

Ok fine, since I am old school I will post an older dubstep track that didn't get really popular until everyone jumped on this dubstep bandwagon. Its a good track, and mixes really well with the wobble of the dubstep being produced today.

Loefah - Disko Rekah 

Enjoy every one, and expect to see that Y@ track on youtube very soon.

Cheers

Groovin? Good

So, many of you may have thought that I was going easy on the blog. You are wrong, I will still be going strong while getting a few events planned. Such as the FreakYIslanDStyleY stage at superfriends. 

I have a re-found love for funk and my love for breaks hasn't dwindled. Over my time trying to find you all new tunes to enjoy, I remembered Goodgroove Records and all the talent that they have on their roster. First off I have to throw down some DJ Wood for the first mix of the new year.

DJ Wood - De Ting Continues

If you like any funky breaks you will love the tunes from all the other guys from Goodgroove Records. I need to throw down a few links before I throw any more tunes down. You could find music for days on these sites.

Goodgroove on FB has some mixes and updates on events

http://www.woodnsoo.com/ A bunch of funky mixes, events and more

Now for a few producers I found from Australia, still under the Goodgroove label but I love the tunes.

Slynk on FB he posted a direct link to his soundcloud page on this fansite.(Become A Fan)

Busta on FB Also has a soundcloud link. I love his music (Become A Fan)

Sorry, no download on this. Looks like you have to buy it if you want it. I love this remix though!
