The LAST FREE UP EVER at Republic this Wednesday Nov 21st, 2012

After 5 years of Free Up celebrating Dancehall, Reggae and Soca at 2 different clubs we are sadly closing the doors on this legendary weekly party. Free Up first started at Shine Night Club where Neal Loud created the concept and promoted the party for 4 years. After stepping back from the promotions scene, Neal passed the party on to Free Up's DJs and the night moved to Republic where it has been for the past 8 months. Countless guest djs have selected for us as well as many artists having performed and we'd like to thank them and everyone of you who has ever come out and enjoyed the night with us.

The LAST episode of FREE UP goes down tomorrow at Republic and we would love for you to be there. The guestlist is already pakd but we can still hook you up so get at me quick if you would like to attend for FREE @djarems.

DJ Arems on Slow Bounce Radio (FREE DANCEHALL MIX DOWNLOAD)

Iron Lyon - "Step Into the Night" Official Music Video

We're a couple weeks behind on posting this video but this shit is ill... Iron Lyon just released his 3rd album entitled "From the Ground Up" on Fat Beats Records and this is the first single from the album.
Here's a description of the video in Iron Lyon's own words:

A couple of weeks ago I hit the streets of NY with videographer Hickory Lawson to shoot Step Into The Night. We weren't worried about a script or staging any sets, we just captured raw footage from the night to convey the true essence of what this song is about. Big shout to everyone we ran into along the way...

download the song here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1tjyl5yvlyz
full album available digitally on iTunes & physical copies on fatbeats.com:http://www.fatbeats.com/products/iron-lyon-from-the-ground-up-cd

Iron Lyon Releases Sophmore LP - "From the Ground Up" on Fat Beats Records

If you didn't know by now, Iron Lyon is not only an ill DJ, he's also a seasoned dope MC. "From the Ground Up" is his second album following his "Time Capsule" LP and "The Foundation" EP. "From the Ground Up" just dropped yesterday on Fat Beats Records and I suggest you don't sleep! Lyon takes it back to smooth beats and well thought out lyrics bringing an ere of Golden Era Hip Hop that is greatly missed in much of today's rap scene.
