Fellow – Run De Dance EP

This Aruban-bred, Netherlands based fellow, Fellow, has just released a free EP packed full of Kuduro, Electro, Soca, Moombahton and big tropical bass sounds. The title track, ‘Run De Dance’ (video below) is a collab with Mad Decent’s Jillionaire, and it knocks, as expected. Fellow explains that the 7-track package was inspired by carnival:

Most of the inspiration for these tracks comes from Aruban Carnival Parades. Since I was a kid I thought Carnival was a whole psychedelic weird creative party experience and I couldn’t really grasp all the lyrics and sounds going on as they all kind of overlap each other while everybody is still dancing away.

The one thing I asked the vocalists to do while I was recording them was “think that you are in a Parade right now and gimme some shouts as you would do to hype up the crowd in the streets”

Carnivaaaaaal!

Ding Dong – Chong X Remix

Ding Dong’s badman anthem is one of those tunes that pretty much always smashes down a rave. This remix from Peruvian/Czech DJ Chong X remix gives you a new way of doing that, busting its bpm up to 110 and making it moombah ready. Badman forward!

Be sure to check out his other edits of Enur & Calabria and Cutty Ranks, over at his Soundcloud page.

Mixpak FM: Kaptain Cadillac

fm11_012-2

Mixpak FM 012 is brought to you by one of Paris’ infamous Booty Call Crew, Kaptain Cadillac (who you might also know as Leatherface). Aside from making a crazy remix of our Lil Scrappy release, KC also runs some of Paris’ most jukin’ parties, and has some ghetto-house bangers out on the Booty Call record label: ‘Show Me Luv’, ‘Big Butt’, and a ton of poppin’ remixes. His mix is some high energy business, bumping through ghetto tech, juke, miami bass and hard house, not to mention a whole load of unreleased material.

You can subscribe to Mixpak FM via iTunes, subscribe with an RSS reader from the Mixpak FM site or download this mix directly.
