Justin Johnson is a DJ and producer from the San Francisco Bay Area spinning Breaks, House, and Tech House. He also operates Cable Recordings, Barely Legal Records, Cylon Dub Receptor, and Southern Vice Recordings. With a discography of more than forty tracks, he has worked with John Selway, Johnny Dangerously, and Johan Afterglow, as well as remixes for iiO, DJ Punk-Roc, Nigel Richards, Velcro City Records, Beyond Zilla, and Quartz Lock.

As a kid, he was raised on heavy doses of Blues, Jazz, and Funk, and when the New Wave scene started he became mesmerized by the sounds of the synthesizers, staying up late listening to the radio just hoping to hear Gary Numan or Afrika Bambaata. In high school he started to link up with other DJs, landed his own radio show on KSRH (San Rafael, CA), and honed his skills with good friend Mr. E and other local DJs. During his college years he would spend hours mixing with John Howard and going to the underground events in the SF Bay Area.

In 1994 he made a move to New York City and within a year of being in the north east, his shoulder was tapped by Scotty Marz, the founding father of Kingsize USA promotions, to become part of the crew. One year later he had built up such a solid reputation that he was recruited by Scott Richmond and Jonathan Kadish (aka Mr. Kleen) to work at the world famous Satellite Records in New York City. Justin quickly made a massive impact in the store and became the Breaks buyer and the stock manager for all three stores (Boston, NYC, Atlanta). Satellite offered the opportunity to not only be on the cutting edge of new sounds and producers, but also to be able to help cultivate the sounds of other DJs like Danny Tenaglia, DJ Icey, Adam Freeland, DJ Dan, Dave Dresden, Thomas Bangalter, Todd Terry, and just about any other taste-maker in the industry. After years of consistently rocking the north east in renowned venues like The Limelight, The Tunnel, The Roxy, Roseland Ballroom, and Irving Plaza, he became known as the “King of Breaks” in NYC, and an appearance at a massive NYC festival (6th Element) was so impressive that it even caught the ears of The New York Times.

Justin always brings the futuristic funk with him and you can hear his influences from the old school to the latest innovators – from Kraftwerk, King Tubby, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, John Coltrane, Giorgio Moroder, Gino Soccio, and all the way up to Bass Bin Twins, King Yoof, Lee Coombs, The Freestylers, Badboe, Olav Basoski, Maceo Plex, and Carl Cox.

His passion for DJing is still as strong now as it was when he started more than twenty-five years ago, and he is still on the radio running his internet show called ‘Techtonic Funk Brigade ‘on NSB Radio (1st and 3rd Fridays 5pm-7pm PST).

Tracklisting:
1. Lovers Skank (featuring Patou of Melbourne Ska Orchestra)
2. Oye Como Suena (featuring Empresarios)
3. Follow Me (featuring Nappy Riddem)
4. A Bailar (featuring Vincent Sebastian of Watussi)

Sydney, Australia’s Omegaman made a big splash Stateside last summer with 
El O’Man Boogaloo, his debut release on Fort Knox Recordings. A longtime producer, collaborator and remixer, Omegaman has already left a mark on the international funk and breaks scene. Always looking to push the funky envelope of groovy breakbeats mixed with Latin and Reggae flavors, Omegaman employs seemingly super-human powers to meld a rotating cast of horns, sweat, percussion and vocalists.

For his new Hot Sauce EP, Omegaman draws upon his atlas of contacts to craft a global groove sure to please his devotees. The prolific vocalist Patou of Melbourne Ska Orchestra is featured on Lovers Skank, a wicked ska stepper that will get the dancefloor skankin’ out! A tropical Latin vibe follows on Oye Como Suena, a thick slice of Latin funk featuring guest vocalist Frankie Rosado of the Empresarios. Omegaman tapped longtime Fort Knox Five and Thunderball vocalist Mustafa Akbar of Nappy Riddem for the upbeat ragga-funk tune Follow Me, rock steady reggae for the heads. And the EP ends on a strong note, with guest vocals from Vincent Sebastian of the Afro-Colombian group Watussi on A Bailar, a funky salsa groove sure to get the people dancing.

Omegaman has been producing music, djing and performing live in bands for many years, and that deep musical experience shines on this EP where his distinctive, funky, breakbeat sound is allowed to conquers the realms of Ska, Latin, Reggae, Funk, Salsa and Beyond.

After another year locked in the studio, Canadian beatsmith Jpod, delivers volume 4 in the Bliss Coast series. This one concentrates on the delectable sounds of Motown with some Mambo thrown in for good measure.

As with all the Bliss Coast mixes every track has received the Jpod remix treatment and is exclusive to this mix (apart from the countless festivals you may have heard these at this year).

You can really hear the true passion and dedication he puts into this tracks and mixes. From the Soundcloud blurb, putting in 10-12 hour days in the studio to make it happen. Each track taken apart and recreated with an extra large helping of whomptastic bass, crispy beats and percussion like only Jpod can do. Each track segued perfectly to the next and really making the whole thing very special.

I expect the tracks, or at least some of them, to be available for free download very soon but for now enjoy the sounds of  bliss.

Since releasing their self-titled debut album earlier this year, Black Masala has been busy performing, touring and recording new music. The group won two Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE awards for Best World Music Recording and overall Best New Artist of the year. Black Masala has quickly made a name for themselves with their eclectic and funky brass-heavy sound, performing at shows up and down the East Coast.

Three tracks from Black Masala’s self-titled debut album received remix treatment by some of the world’s most exciting and in demand remix artists. First up is Dutch producer Solo Moderna’s funky Balkumbia remix of “Mesecina”, a high-energy stepper to get the dance floor going. DJ Clairvo, from Budapest, takes the deep southern Soul of “Knockin” and drops the bottom out, adding funky beats and dj scratches. NYC based K Sabroso also reworked “Knockin”, pushing and pulling the track through a range of effects, creating a bass heavy moombah-soul monster! Popular tune “Bhangra V” received five different remixes, the first by Los Chicos Altos from Barcelona, Spain. Los Chicos Altos maximize the heavy horns of Bhangra V with a swinging beat and deep bass line to maximum effect. Sydney, Australia’s Omegaman has added his signature chopped up breakbeats and other effects to create a party rocking and DJ friendly jam. Originally from Bulgaria and now based in Cologne, Germany is Kosta Kostov, who has warped and twisted “Bhangra V” into a heavy, dance floor Balkan smash; be careful with this one! Miami’s Kinky Electric Noise originally hails from Colombia and that comes through in his remix, with an upbeat tempo, heavy bass boom and some killer percussion. Closing out this release is the deep, tribal house remix of “Bhangra V” by German producer Samuel Tegaro, a refreshing and surprising take on this great tune.

Black Masala is known for their music gumbo, a live and enchanting mixture of funk, Balkan, soul, brass, Gypsy, Appalachia and more thrown together. These remixes capture the essence of Black Masala, taking the band’s music into new and different directions like house, breakbeat, moombah-soul, Balkumbia and more. Music knows no borders and neither does the irresistible vibe of Black Masala.
