Sledgehammer & Tecktonik

  So the other day I was blog surfin and I came across a gem of a tune by the name of "Sledgehammer" by the Electrophants. The minute I heard the song I fell in love. It had the perfect amount of groove, bounce, wobble and bass to make me wanna get up and  TECKTONIK (tecktonik is a style of dance that people have told me that I dance like... although, I've been dancing like this years before the "Tecktonik" style was born). I've linked a youtube vid of this kid giving a Tecktonik tutorial. He looks like he's 12 and he's pretty damn good. I see a Choreography career in his future should he choose to embrace it. Anyway, I will have to get some video footage of me dancing so that I can show you guys my fancy moves!
   Ok, back to ELECTROPHANTS! These guys bring out them filthy synths and bangers to get the dancefloor jumpin. I dig their style so I decided to reach out to them via twitter and show them some love (god how I love Twitter). They responded with a follow and a DM that asked for my email address so that they could send me some tunes. And now... I am going to remix their tune Sledgehammer and they are going to remix one of my tracks! YESSS! Ask and you shall receive! You know I finally watched The Secret on Netflix the other night and it clearly states: Ask, Believe, Receive. So I encourage you all to do the same, just look at what it did for me!
   Alright now check out Sledgehammer and support the Electrophants by purchasing their EP on iTunes can't wait to share my remix with you all! Oh... and one last thing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my incredible brother Willie! I love you!

Sledgehammer- Electrophants

Fire & Diamonds

So I thought I would share some of my latest work with you lovely people. This is my latest mixtape (although I'm working on another tech house one at the moment). It is Dubstep with a twist... meaning I remixed some of the tracks with classics such as Underworlds "Born Slippy" and Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" (which is one of the coolest videos everrrrr, so cool in fact... I will try to post it).  I also felt the need to sneak in a snippet from Mike Jones "Still Tippin".  Enjoy!

First Kiss

Hello bloggers! Woo hoo! My first ever blog post! Wow... so much to say I don't even know where to start. Well I must first thank my wife Valerie Vonprisk for pushing me to get a blog started. And yes I did say wife... for those of you who do not know me, I am a lesbian and Valerie and I were among the few lucky gay couples that were able to marry legally in California just before the 2008 election, but that is a whole other blog post.
I am Von Kiss. DJ, Producer, Dancer, lover of music. I bought my turntables back in 2002 and have been djing in clubs for a little over 4 years now. I started producing about a year ago. The past year has been an incredible year for me. So many opportunities have come my way and I am eternally grateful. One of the coolest things to happen to me is the development of new friendships with people such as Diplo, Rye Rye, 6Blocc and Mikix the Cat. I am a huge fan of all of them and I look forward to collaborating with each of them on some bangin tunes!
My style. One of the hardest things for me to define is my style. As you will see with later posts, my style is quite eclectic musically. I love so many genres and sub-genres of music and look forward to sharing it all with you. Although, I must admit that my absolute FAVORITE type of music is the music that makes me want to DANCE! I started clubbing in SF when I was 16. As soon as I had my first taste of the club scene, I knew that  I had found my Unicorn. My something special. My friends and I would hit the club in our fresh little outfits (and by little I mean tiny tube tops... because we knew we were going to sweat!) and within 30 mins our hair would be dripping sweat.  Ahhh the days of dancing for hours on end... it has been a while since I've danced like that, and I really do miss it.
Werrrk. So for anyone who has ever seen me DJ you may have caught me playing hip hop, house, tech house, dubstep, UK funky, Drum n Bass, minimal, hard house, Bmore club, reggae, disco, 70s funk, 80s and 90s, I've played it all and more. However, I am working hard on booking gigs that will allow me to really shine and play what I want and love to play... BANGIN HOUSE AND DUBSTEP.  I am super excited to announce that I will be going on a Dubstep tour with 6Blocc and Muneka G all over Mexico in April. I can't wait to Blog about it... :)
So to wrap up my First Kiss I will leave you with one of my favorite Bass Music tracks, it is an oldie but a goodie. "Fasten Your Seatbelts" by Pendulum!!!!! For more info on Pendulum check out their website Pendulum
