Club Cirque Drop: Crizzly remixes Jay-Z's 'Tom Ford;' Torro Torro invited to Red Bull Thre3Style World Finals

Club Cirque will be here faster than you know it, and as we countdown the days until Saturday, October 19th, we’ve got some more artist news for all you circus lovers.

On this edition of the Club Cirque Drop, we’ve got a free download of Jay-Z and some battling DJs.

Crizzly gives away his latest remix Jay-Z’s track “Tom Ford”

artist crizzlyNative Texan and crunkstepper pioneer, Crizzly has been giving fans a seemingly endless stream of free tracks recently. Known for putting his twist on hip hop smash hits, just a few days ago, the Cirque talent uploaded yet another bass-lead track with his remix of “Tom Ford” by Jay-Z. Spoiler Alert: If you were planning on taking a nap in the next 5 minutes, think again.

For his edit of “Tom Ford,” Crizzly deconstructions the original Timbaland production, bringing a provocative feeling that only crunkstep could create. With some deep, resonating 808 kicks, piercing snares, and clean hi-hats, the catchy vocals make this track a certifiable weekend anthem. And did we mention it’s free?

Club Cirque Artist Profile: Steve Aoki

artist steve aokiSteve Aoki is certainly one of the busiest men in the music industry. Label head, producer, remixer, DJ, owner of a successful clothing line and entrepreneur, you never know what this Club Cirque talent is going to do next. We just know that when this madman takes the stage, expect to see some thrown cakes, inflatable rafts over the crowd and most of all, expect to see a lot of sweating.

Steve Aoki first started putting in work as a DJ when he was a student at the University of California in Santa Barbara. Performing under the name Kid Millionaire, Steve began producing records and hosting concerts in his living room, calling the makeshift venue, the Pickle Patch. “… And the legendary house, the 6542 Sabado Tarde house. That’s where the Pickle Patch was founded. It eventually moved around, but we had At The Drive-In, !!!, The Rapture – the Pickle Patch had over 450 bands playing at all the different incarnations. We stayed there for a couple years then we moved into a frat house. We didn’t become a frat but we brought 16 kids in there, we built out a space and did shows there. Then we moved to the Biko House and we did shows there. We made the garage into a place where we could have shows.”

In 1996, now in his early 20s, Steve created the now world-famous label Dim Mak Records. Dim Mak is the Chinese form of martial arts also known as the “Death Touch.” Still pounding out releases 17 years after its inception, Dim Mak is still going on strong and known for its over-the-top showmanship, “My roots are in hardcore and punk. Before dance music I was writing for punk bands and screaming punk songs. 10 years ago, I was screaming to kids at hardcore shows and a little after that, I started to DJ. When you DJ and play others’ records, you create a story for your audience and that’s part of your job and the art of being a DJ. When I produced tunes, I brought in that aggressive nature from my earlier punk years along with showmanship. There’s a difference between producing an actual song, and making a club edit. It’s the song that I get more into when it plays live. When I play shows, its second nature to scream in the crowd and let off all that energy.”

As a producer, Steve has created a series of popular underground mix albums and tracks that have scored him success on charts around the world as well as awards from BPM Magazine and Billboard. His work as a remixer spans from names like the Jackson 5 and Lenny Kravitz, to Kanye West, Eminem and Snoop Dogg. And with his aptitude for collaborations, Steve has appeared on releases with artists like Kid Cudi, will.i.am, Afrojack, and Armand Van Helden, just to name a few.

Getting ready to bring his Aokify America Tour to Tampa on Saturday, October 19th, we’re not sure what goodies he’ll bring for his performance at Club Cirque, but what we do know is that the best way to see Steve is in person. So, have you bought your tickets yet?

Something Wicked Weekend Warriors: Free Play Edition

Two weeks stand in the middle of us and the return of Houston’s premiere Halloween festival, Something Wicked. We don’t know about you guys, but the excitement is starting to get to us. If you haven’t secured your entry to the celebration yet, you’re in luck! Tickets are still available online, so grab your today before the event on Saturday, October 26th.

Today, we have a special edition of Something Wicked’s Weekend Warriors as we countdown the final days until the Hallows Eve event. There isn’t a shortage of free music on the internet – even when we don’t count all the not-so-legal stuff. So instead of searching for mixes to power through your weekend, we found a ton of free (and legal) downloads from our amazing lineup. Start downloading all you Wicked creatures, you might hear some of these tracks in two weeks.

Skrillex, 12th Planet, Kill The Noise – Right On Time (Alex Young Remix)

Warning: You’ll probably get an urge to start clapping after you hear the intro. We love this edit because it reminds us just how talented this Young one is.

Antiserum, Mayhem – Pakistan (Original Mix)

If the brash cymbals don’t wake you up, the bass on the drop certainly will. We’re not exactly sure what this song has to do with the Middle Eastern country, but the track is a banger none-the-less.

Arnej – Adagio (Original Mix)

If you’re wondering if it’s that Adagio, you’d be correct in your assumptions. Dedicated to his father, Arnej puts his signature sound on an old favorite with this free download.

Jay-Z – Tom Ford (Crizzly Remix)

Always adding his twist on hip hop favorites, Crizzly is back with more crunksteppin’ action on this brand new freebie.

Mariah Carey – Touch My Body (Cyril Hahn Remix)

It’s a safe bet to say that most (if not all) Cyril Hahn tracks can be dubbed as “sexy.” This remix takes the sexy cake with a down-pitched Mariah Carey and a tempo that a couple on Valentine’s Day can appreciate.

Deorro – Bootie In Your Face (Original Mix)

Surprisingly, not that type of booty, but bootie. Once you view the album artwork, you remember that this electro maven in a father of two. Enjoy all the bootie and one more thing – everybody rage!

Figure – Child’s Play (Original Mix)

Just in time for the Halloween season, lover of all horror, Figure just recently gave away this track which features an awesomely creepy sample from Chuckie.

Candyland – Bring The Rain (BUSTED By heRobust)

This mixed-meter track is busted – in a good way.

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/103461953″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

Joel Compass – Astronaut (Henry Krinkle Remix)

Though not a certifiable “banger,” this track has a slow rise that is simply beautiful. Let this song put your mind at ease.

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/107506443″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

Luminox – Tantrum (Original Mix)

We don’t really like tantrums – unless they have a wicked bass line that accompanies them.
