Lady Packa - "Pretty Bop" (RuN RiOT Remix)

Back on the blog is another remix from UK electronica/breaks producer RuN RiOT. His newest remix is for Spain's own break beat DJ, Lady Packa. RuN RiOT's remix of "Pretty Bop" features a dope drum pattern complete with multiple kicks and fat snares that switch nicely around the 1:34 mark and are sure to get any breaks fiend moving. The rumbling bass line is something best appreciated on a good pair of speakers or headphones and is definitely a strong feature of the track.

Presenting Brocktologist a.k.a. B L'amour...

I can't tell you how much of a sucker I am for good dance music. Disco tends to hit the spot as far as feel-good dance floor funk goes, and Kentucky based producer/songwriter/DJ/drummer extraordinaire Brock Ward a.k.a. Brocktologist is a provider of that dance floor funk. Having lived in places such as New York City, Miami, Charleston, and Venezuela, Brocktologist has been influenced by the cultures found in each area and has been able to provide an array of eclectic music through those influences. His alias as B'Lamour handles the disco end of things, and does a great job of doing so.

B. L'Amour - You Know by Brocktologist

B. L'amour - You Got Me Dancin by Brocktologist

Tracks like "You Know" and "You Got Me Dancin'" showcase a classic disco feel with a modern twist. Funky basslines, intricate sample chops, and thick handclaps come standard on these cuts. It's a feel good vibe that's hard to argue with and is sure to get the dance floor going. Brocktologist has also provided two mixes and a remix of house/disco producer Louis La Roche's "Distant Lovers", which is full of synthy goodness and a latin infused flip on the drums. All are available as free downloads, so get 'em while you can and enjoy the funky sounds of Brock Ward!

DJ Devastate

One of our soft spots here at Below Concrete will always be for that classic, soulful, jazzy hip-hop sound. There's never a wrong time for it and like a fine brew, it always goes down smooth. Enter DJ Devastate...

Influenced by the golden era sound, Sweden native DJ Devastate has crafted his art not only as a seasoned DJ but also as an established producer. His collaborations & releases feature legendary hip-hop artists such as Masta Ace, KutMasta Kurt, Maylay Sparks, Stricklin, Ed O.G. and Reef The Lost Cauze. His instrumental debut album "Movement/Silence", released in November 2009 under BBE Records, is "an instrumental fusion of Jazz, Funk, and Hip-Hop", combining classic hip-hop beat programming with live instrumentation. In the words of DJ Devastate:

- “Music is all about catching a moment in time. This could be a single frame, a mental picture, a moment of clarity that fuels the feeling to create. To create music is to give birth to movement where there used to be silence.”

You can cop "Movement/Silence" directly on the BBE site, iTunes, and Spotify. DJ Devastate has also sent us a free download link to his latest remix for The Alkaholiks' own J-Ro. The single, "Get Addicted" is from J-Ro's upcoming album, "Ro-hab: Get Addicted", which is in the finishing stages of completion. DJ Devastate's remix also showcases his versatility as a producer. The remix has a fresh bounce that would go perfect when cruising past some palm trees on a sunny afternoon in the west coast.
