Steppin Out Track of the Month

Steppin Out turns one next week! We'll be jamming the finest in new wave, synth pop & freestyle, along with new visuals by Ordo Solido. Plus we have special guests to help us celebrate: Start Making Sense, a live 7 piece Talking Heads cover band! Oh hell yes!

And I can't forget the music! I actually don't have any Talking Heads for you today. Instead, here are a couple of dance mixes of a New Wave track done by François Kevorkian:

This Idjut Boys edit had the whole room feeling nice last month, especially when the groove really gets heavy after the 2 1/2 minute mark. I'm sure someone out there can guess who the original artist is...

A Little Bit of Love

San Francisco's DJ B. Cause transformed this New Edition cut into straight dance floor fire. It's been getting great reactions in my sets lately, especially at Steppin Out. Something about the combination of the giant drums and the dramatic vocals just hypnotizes people.
