Philly Native: DJ Excel on the MikiDz Show

Each week, DJCity.com hosts the MikiDz show where people from all over the world can tune in and see some of the best DJ’s that the country has to offer. This past week, a good friend of mine and Philly native (now residing in Los Angeles), DJ Excel was the special guest. I’ll let the video above do the talking.

You can check the video as well as interview from the show – here.

Allow Me To Introduce Myself…

BREK.ONE x The COBRA SNAKE

I go by the name of BREK.ONE as a DJ / HUMAN / CONNOISEUR of the finer things in life in the form of mango shakes and extremely limited sneakers.

I am very humbled to have been approached by the good guys here at Crossfaded Bacon to contribute to their blog. I will try my best to live up to the hype that CFB holds. That being said, I will leave the posts about my credenza game for my personal site while providing you with entertainment and posts about things that I feel you should know about / need in your life…

(You need this in your life…)

You can also catch me on TWITTER – @BREKONE

Last but not least… For your listening pleasure, I’ll leave you with these two mixes that have floating around the internets…

Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar Bounce Remix


Aloe Blacc “I Need a Dollar (Emynd Bounce Remix)” ft Lyrikill & Tony Skratchere SOUNDCLOUD or 320 MEDIAFIRE

I recently put together this Bounce remix of Aloe Blacc’s excellent “I Need a Dollar” and recruited my homies from New Orleans to fill it out. My dude Lyrikill is on vocals and Tony 5kratchere on the brief but fun scratch solo near the end of the song. Really happy with how this turned out and it’s already been getting some love down in the Bayou. Hope y’all enjoy it as well! And don’t forget to download my man Lyrikill’s A TIME TO KILL MIXTAPE right now for free!

Brother Reade vs Camo UFOs


Brother Reade – Impala (Camo UFOs Remix) by CrossfadedBacon

Last week, Media Contender posted the Camo UFOs Jungle remix of Brother Reade’s “Impala.” As you may remember, “Impala” was originally released on Brother Reade’s *DRAMA EP* on Crossfaded Bacon records back in December. This remix breathes some new life into the original, hearkening back to the Jungle days of yore but still sounding relevant today. Download the remix HERE and let us know your thoughts!

Alicia Keys “Un-Thinkable” Emynd Remix ft The Show


Alicia Keys “Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready)” Emynd Remix ft The Show SOUNDCLOUD or 320 MEDIAFIRE

So I absolutely LOVE the original version of this song, but it’s a bit too melancholy to play in the club so I hooked up a remix on top of Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day” and got my dog THE SHOW to kick a quick verse. Really into this shit and it’s a fun BBQ Jam or a good opening set record. Hope y’all are into it!

Proper Villains “Music Takes Me Up” (Emynd Remix)


Proper Villians – Music Takes Me Up (Emynd remix) by Emynd

Somehow I forgot to post this even though it came out several months ago now. Big homies Proper Villains (who refuse to spell “villians” correctly!) asked me to do a remix on their awesome EP on Nightshifters records. I put together this Miami Bass and Baltimore influenced reinterpretation of the song. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Shout out to Uncle Luke and “Pop that Pu**y” for the main inspiration. If you guys like it, please support the release by copping on iTunes, Juno, or Beatport! Thanks for the support!

Best of Jadakiss (Bo Bliz)

I’ve done a few of these “best of” tapes, all to guys deserving of them, guys I kind of wanted to make “highlight reels” of their albums. Not necessarily because the albums weren’t hot or solid or whatever, but just to put all real heat in one place. This Jadakiss is the same concept, and definitely something you can ride to this summer. You can stream it above or download it below.

Stranger Day x Playboy Tre x Emynd


Stranger Day ft Playboy Tre “What It Is” (Emynd Remix) SOUNDCLOUD or 320 MEDIAFIRE

Here’s another remix I did that will appear on Stranger Day’s “Young, Dumb, and Dope” mixtape coming 7.12 mixed by the big homie DJ Benzi. One of the best things about traveling a lot and DJing is the odd coincidences where you find out one of your homies from a far off city is in town. This is exactly what happened when I played in Charlotte two weeks ago. Twitter told me that Playboy Tre and BOB were in Greensboro, NC doing a show the same night I was playing in Charlotte, so on a whim, I hit Tre up seeing if there was anyway he could make it to Charlotte for a few drinks. Turns out he was staying in Charlotte that night in order to hit the Charlotte airport early the next day. Needless to say, Tre came through to my gig in Charlote and me, Stranger Day, and Playboy Tre proceeded to take shots of everything from vodka to rum to Jameson (and somehow, somebody convinced us to take a damn Jager Bomb as well… No idea how that happened). Anyway, back to the music… I’m super happy with how this track turned out. It’s another Atlanta Bass inspired track. Hope y’all enjoy it!

La Roux “Bulletproof” vs “Money To Blow” (Emynd Blend)


La Roux “Bulletproof” vs “Money To Blow” (Emynd Blend) or MEDIAFIRE 320

Just a quick blend of La Roux “Bulletproof” on top of Drumma Boi’s “Money To Blow” instrumental for Birdman, Drake, and Wayne. Shit sounds pretty good as far as I’m concerned.

“Sex Sax” vs “Dey Know”


Drop The Lime “Sex Sax” vs Shawty Lo “Dey Know” (Emynd Blend) or MEDIAFIRE 320

If somehow you haven’t heard Drop the Lime‘s amazing “Sex Sax,” do yourself a favor and go cop it right this second. It’s an amazing release with a variety of great remixes from Sinden, Bart B More, and more. As you can probably tell, I threw Shawty Lo’s “Dey Know” acapella on top and pitched the vocals down a half step to get Shawty Lo’s sing-songy flow in key. I shot it over to Drop the Lime and he happily gave me permission to post the blend. Hope y’all enjoy it or find it useful!
