This Sunday June 30th, my buddy doctor BAGGIE is hosting Can't Stop Esther - The Madonna Marathon at Revival. I'll be doin somethin special on the lower level (The Stone Lounge) called "The Black Madonna". You say "What's that?" Well it's Madge on the remix tip and...err...some other stuff. I'll be throwin down a lot of exclusives, my own "never before heard" versions and plenty of innovators and imitators, disco and divas. You'll hear it all - the Rock Steady Drew way. No new teasers for this - you're gonna have to wait. In the meantime - cop this remix I did a while back. Madonna Ft Sean Paul & Zion Y Lennox - Hung Up (Rock Steady Drew Electro Reggaeton Remix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, April 6, 2008 RSD Gets Crunk
My buddy Real Juicy hooked me up with this dope tee the other day. You gotta check out all the hype mixes he's been posting over on his blog www.whitefolksgetcrunk.com. No worries, brown folks get crunk too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday, March 27, 2008 Re Re Launch
So mother nature dealt us up a monster blizzard last month for the re-launch of Cross The Trax at our new home in Harlem. Props to those of who managed to arrive alive. Let's try it again this April 5th and keep our fingers crossed that ma nature is in a good mood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, February 16, 2008 I Likes It Raw
Ol' Dirty Bastard (Dirt McGirt, Big Baby Jesus, Rusty, Osirus etc.) had some of the sickest party joints of the 90's. The original of this track is one of my favourites. Play this shit loud! Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya (Rock Steady Drew Likes It Raw Remix) For any of you guys on the east cost - check out my appearance with Famous Players DJ Double A & Gordski at Tribeca Bistro Bar in Halifax on Friday, February 22. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday, February 8, 2008 Harlem Nights
Cross The Trax makes it's long awaited return - but this time we moved on up to Harlem. The re-launch party is the Official CD Release Event for "Afterparty Babies" from Edmonton's Cadence Weapon. There'll be a special live performance by Candy Coated Killahz. These guys are blowin up big time - and we're psyched to do this gig with them. CTT + CCK = BANANAS! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, January 19, 2008 Facebook Me
Ok - so not everyone is on Myspace. So just for you - I've started a brand new Rock Steady Drew Facebook Group. In the coming weeks - I'll be posting a few demos, mini-mixes and blends there that won't be posted anywhere else. Enjoy! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=32997085384 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, January 13, 2008 Filhinho da Mamãe
Montreal duo Chromeo killed it with last year's Fancy Footwork. Now, fresh for '08, Momma's Boy gets a Brazilian re-working by yours truly. Chromeo - Momma's Boy (Rock Steady Drew Filhinho da Mamãe Remix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, January 6, 2008 Remix This!
The re-launch of Cross The Trax will be coming in the new year - so sit tight for upcoming news about that. In the meantime, check out Matt Medley's Remix This! at Andy Poolhall every Wednesday. A night of "completely unoriginal music". Yours truly will be appearing there this January 30th, but you'll definitely want to check out the awesome line-up this month (see flyer). To celebrate the New Year, I've got a new jam for ya. Janet Jackson's new album drops February 26, and here's a remix for the lead single. Enjoy! Janet Jackson - Feedback (Rock Steady Drew Peep Show Mix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, December 22, 2007 Show Some Love
Come on out for a good cause tonight to the Drake Hotel. It's the annual Holiday House Party fundraiser. Bring a non-perishable food item, and article of clothing or $5 and share your goodwill. I'll be closing out the night in the lounge, so come check me out. Peace on earth! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, December 1, 2007 Happy Hollabass!
In the continued spirit of giving for the holiday season - I'm regifting a classic for you. Jump on this while you can - there's only one month left to play it! The Jackson 5 - Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (Rock Steady Drew Happy Hollabass Mix) As a bonus - I have an alternate mix I did of Rihanna's DSTM. This version includes a bassline which wasn't used in the original mix I posted a while back. However, it's grown on me over time. So take a listen and figure out which version you like best. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music (Rock Steady Drew MJ2 Bass Mix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, November 10, 2007 Birthday Wax
So it's my birthday is this weekend - but it's better to give than receive - right? So I got 2 new remixes for ya (don't say I never get you anything). First off, I got DJ BlaqStarr with Rye Rye of Mad Decent fame. DJ BlaqStarr Ft Rye Rye - Shake It To The Ground (Rock Steady Drew The Blip Mix) And now for this important message...
So it seems that there is a recent shortage of panties in Hollywood. Fortunately, Pase Rock and Posse (Spank Rock, Amanda Blank and others), made a kick ass jam to bring awareness to this important issue. I felt that I really needed to contribute in some way, so I'm donating this remix to the cause. Pase Rock Ft Spank Rock & Amanda Blank - Lindsay Lohan's Revenge (Rock Steady Drew In The Cut Mix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, November 5, 2007 Bring That Beat Back
I've been getting a lot of requests about when my next show is - well the wait is over! I am back at the Drake this Saturday November 24th. I'll be previewing plenty of new material from my upcoming mixtape as well as a lot of favourites for the bass heads. By the way - I'm on the lookout for a new venue for the new year - so get back to me if any of you got spots opening up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, September 17, 2007 A Trick and a Treat
Here's a remix I did of the latest track from the lip gloss wonder herself - Lil Mama. I flipped the gangsta lean flow into a dubstep booty bass jam. Kinda reminds me of some classic Outkast. Crank this shit up and "G-Slide for me...G-Slide with me..." Lil Mama Ft. Kadar - G-Slide (Rock Steady Drew D-Step Mix) It's Halloween time again and I have a treat that's both scary and full of empty calories - Britney! It's like she's something out of a horror movie - we keep killing her and she keeps coming back! I've never been a fan - but as a DJ - I can't deny that I get a ton of requests for this song. Why people, why? So I did this bmore blend/mashup to avoid getting jumped in an ally by one of her crazed fans after one of my gigs. Don't tell anyone you got it here - I've got a rep to protect. Britney Spears - Gimme Bmore (Rock Steady Drew Bmore Blend) I'd like to credit the original DJ whose beats I jacked for this - but I'm not sure who it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, September 17, 2007 Don't Stop The Mixes
Ok...so Rihanna has been remixed to death this summer - but to be honest, most versions of this track are a little to euro dance for my taste. Since it's a huge request favourite - I had to take a stab at remixing it. By the way, I always thought they stole the wrong MJ sample...so I had to fix it in the mix. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music (Rock Steady Drew MJ2 Mix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, August 26, 2007 Down For More
Much love to everyone who came out to the MIA CD Release show on Saturday - you guys were awesome and Bonjay rocked the shit outta that place! Sexy, loud and drinkin' yo - that's how we do! I know I'm real intense when I'm doin my sets - so if I didn't get a chance to say hi to summa y'all, then go add me as a friend on myspace right now and tell me wassup.

How many mixes are there, how many? Well at least one more. You knew I had to do it. So here it is... MIA - Boyz (Rock Steady Drew Fight Remix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday, July 24, 2007 I Got The Ra Ra!
Cross The Trax hosts the official CD release event for the new M.I.A album KALA. Come find me at the Drake Hotel Underground on August 25th for plenty of bass, electro, baile funk, bmore club and global hip hop, with a special performance from Bonjay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday, June 22, 2007 Hey Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes!
Here's a new track for you guys. It's a re-working of a Malcolm Mclaren jam from the 1980's called "Double Dutch". I've always liked the part with the girls singing, so I made good use of that sample. Rock Steady Drew - Hey Ebonettes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, June 17, 2007 Love Puss
Here's a mix I just completed of a CSS track. If you're not sure you recognize the 2 main samples, maybe you'll figure it out by the end. CSS - Alala (Rock Steady Drew Love Puss Remix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday, June 7, 2007 All Over Our Face The promoters for Cazwell have found a new venue - but unfortunately - it's not with us. Sorry. To cheer you up, here's a new mix I just completed of the old Run-DMC classic. Run DMC vs Rock Steady Drew - My Adidas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday, June 5, 2007 Homeless Unfortunately our location for the Cazwell event has pulled out, as they feel they cannot handle the capacity during pride week. We're trying to find another venue and will keep you posted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, May 28, 2007 Catchin' Carps.
The Carps have confirmed their appearance at our June 30th Cross The Trax at the Drake Hotel Underground.

Check out my appearance at Lüb for their next 4:20 party. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, March 5, 2007 CTT Get's Lubed
Cross The Trax goes somewhere it's never gone before... well ok...we've been there once before - but this time it's a different location. We've also joined forces with SUPERSTEIN 3-D. Holla! If you're from the area and have never been to any of our shows before, then you are in for a surprise. This ain't your average hip hop night. All I can say is "expect the unexpected". We've taken joints from the breakers of NYC, the Baltimore Club scene and introduced them to the Mash-Up scene. You gotta experience it to know what I mean. © 2007 rocksteadydrew.com |
