Meet the Remix Artists:

4ESH!  USA- Miami, Florida
Gucci Gucci (4ESH!’s Dubstep FreioRemix)

Names: Alejandro Diaz, Javier Lopez

Style and Influences: 

“4ESH! started when myself (Alejandro Diaz “DT0X”) and my long time high school friend (Javier Lopez “Avilo”) decided to collab and create music. I started when I was 17 and now we are 23 and 25. We love creating all genres of electronic music but prefer electro house. We have too many influences both in our genre and outside said genre to name. We have a nice following here in Miami but want to expand our horizon.”

Young Hamm:  USA- Denver, Colorado
Gucci Gucci ft Yung Hamm-Mr RaW-Still RaW

Name: Kenneth Henderson

Collaboration with:  Mr.RaW

Style and Influences: 

“I started writing music at the age of 13 and recorded my first song on my 14th birthday. I remember that day like it was just yesterday, I rapped over Nas, Lil Wayne, and Cassidy instrumentals. Since a young age i had always loved music and had that feeling that not only could i create music, but i could be good if not great at it. If i had to make a Top 5 MC list it would be 2pac,Nas,Andre 3000,Lauryn Hill and Common, No specific order. These are the MC’s who inspired me the most, but i studied so many more if not everyone before me. I love what the young/new up and coming artist are doing for the game (J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, K.R.I.T.,Curren$y, Wale) and i think that its up to US to bring it back to what people grew to love. With my music i try to be unique and not just chase after the next hit song. I push hard to make music that I want to make first, then make sure it is something real and easy to relate to. I love to make people think and broaden their imagination while listening to my music, rather it be just a lyric that might go over your head or a whole song concept that makes you want to dig deeper. My main goals with my music are just to be heard and make a person feel emotions while listening,even angry. If i know i can make a person upset and piss them off with my music, then i know its possible to make them smile, then laugh, cry then ultimately go out and search for their biological parents or something. The last but first thing that i do it for is my city, DENVER. There is so much unheard talent out here it kills me to listen to ‘local’ artist. I have always said i dont care if im the first through the door, the last, or the most famous. I will be satisfied knowing that i played a role in opening the door for this ‘Denver Renaissance Movement’. I know everyone cant be the star, If im not a Martin Luther King, what’s wrong with being W.E.B. DuBois?

“I’ve been producing music for about six years, four of which were while studying Music Technology at the University of Oregon. I grew up listening to groups like the Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, and Mr. Oizo, but since school I have found a deep appreciation for people like Stockhausen, Cage, and Applebaum. I mix in all of that together with my trumpet, and that makes Clodewerks.”

Florida 4ESH

By 2 Comments

4ESH from Miami, FL

Javier Lopez & Alejandro Diaz are the talented DJ Duo that make up”4ESH!” from Miami, FL.  I asked the duo, what their vison for 4ESH is?  They replied “to create electronic music in any genre that is big or has been big at some point. We are a lot like MSTRKRFT meaning we adapt our sound with changing times while always working together. Hopefully we can go on tour with a big record label one day and play our music to big crowds all across the world.”

I asked the duo how they created their sound.  The responded “we basically produce all of our music on Ableton Live and we have a wide range of instruments/ synthesizers that we use and would be too many to list.” What style of music do you produce? “Our music can be categorized anywhere between electro/ electro house/ dubstep/ moombahton/ trance/ house/ deutch house since we like to take our talents to all genres that are being played.”

These 4ESH boys have a sense of humor when it comes to song artwork (See Right).  Wether or not you enjoy this music is probably dependent on wether or not the genres electronic, trance and dub interests you.  If it does, Listen UP!

This track is a whomping 62 Minutes of mind-numbing trance, house, and electro that should be heard around the globe!  Recommended for late night dance party or for a revitalizing rejuvenating turn into trance any time of day.  With surprising turns, twists, low/highpass swells, and drops till tomorrow, this song will keep you entertained all 62 minutes.

Now or Never (Instrumental) by ashelynsummers

“I use session musicians for the recordings, so it varies a bit by track. I list the credits for each song on my website These are the regulars:

1) Jennifer Takahashi – piano
2) Jervy Hou – piano
3) Hiro Goto – violin, viola
4) Irina Chirkova – cello
5) Dave Stone – double bass
6) Mick Taras – guitar
7) Drew Allsbrook – bass guitar
8) John Ferraro – drums

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wszkii5pr9k&w=560&h=345%5D

I asked Ashelyn what inspires her. She replied, “I am classically trained vocally, and much of my songwriting is inspired by composers such as Nobuo Uematsu and Sergei Rachmaninov. I like to incorporate classical techniques into my songs, and I seek to always use real instruments, as a digital counterpart can never fully recreate the nuanced timbre of a live cello, piano, etc. I believe there is great beauty in the complexity of classical compositions, and I hope to one day be able to emulate them more completely.” Well said! *Ashelyn, you are going somewhere! Where ever your music travels, take the us with you. Stay Tuned!*

Sparky and the RandOm bAnD

By Leave a Comment


Sparky certainly has a unique sound and style which deserves recognition.  Nothing like original arrhythmic sounds that …. question the mind. This 33 year old from Minnesota (1st artist from Minnesota featured on FreioMusic!!) teams up with his wife to create the videos below.

“The music is mostly live instruments modified with effects pedals recorded in live improvised sessions. It is inspired by free jazz and beat poetry but done electronically.
 The videos are shot with a canon digital camera and then modified with Magix Movie edit pro 17. Some editing and modifying is done with Magix music maker pro 17 on some of the audio tracks. We have a blog describing the instruments and processes a little more
Enjoy the road trip and thanks for the interest.”  -Patrick “Sparky”

Young Hamm

Rope-A-Dope:  A new Album by Young Hamm!

Young Hamm, previously featured as the Hammer in Champion, drops a new solo album, Rope-A-Dope! Why? Because Hamm Can!  Young Hamm is improving by the track and perfecting his flow. No one hit wonder, Young Hamm is here to stay. Hammer and Champion reunite on a couple of great tracks, my favorite, #4, “the One”, on the album Rope-A-Dope though in the spotlight tonight, is Young Hamm. This Artist is not done learning, attending college, and is pursuing a Mass Media Arts major. Young Hamm is quickly making jumps towards the big stage.  Together, Hammer and Champion from Denver, Colorado know how to hype up the crowd, and lyrically throw down to match the hype. Hammer & Champion have proven to be rising stars in the hip-hop industry, which will hopefully shine light on the Colorado music scene. Also check out the songs “Feel Me”, “Funny People”, and “Survival”.

You Discovered Canasta Hear @FreioMusic

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3GXNBYIAQY%5D

Canasta, from Chicago, Illinois,  could be he next big pop band out if Chi town!  Their music is moving, and the band is tightly knit together.  It is not as if we are the first to notice this talent, Best of Chicago 2010… loaded with intricate yet accessible orchestral pop music— Huffington Post.  I asked Elizabeth (vocals/violin/percussion) about the
direction of the band and what they strive for, and her articulate reply is as follows… “Living amongst the immense musical talent in a city like Chicago is eternally inspiring. But standing apart from the crowd can be a never-ending challenge. So Canasta came together in early 2002 when six friends joined forces and augmented the standard rock set‐up with piano, violin, keyboard and trombone, in an effort to craft a more ambitious strain of majestic, ultra‐melodic, orchestral pop”.    The band is composed of 6 friends:

Band Members:Photos by Sarah Hadley 40www.sarahhadley.com41

Jeremy Beckford – guitar / vocals
Sarah Kneebone – piano / keyboard / vocals
Elizabeth Lindau – vocals / violin / percussion
Brian Palmieri – drums
Matt Priest – vocals / bass / trombone / percussion
Ryan Tracy – keyboard / piano / bass / vocals

Every member brings their talents and enthusiasm to create a well-rounded, very talented up and coming band.  “Maybe it’s my ability to pester people to help get stuff done. I’m good and networking when I have time to network. I also do a lot of band administration” Says Elizabeth.  The band is connected to all the right places, and in turn, has a strong and growing network of fans across the globe.   I would not be surprised to see Canasta playing at festivals around America within a year, Look Out Sasquatch!  Stay close to the band by following them on Twitter.
