FastFWD records has generated another fire project this time teaming up with familiar sidekick, producer, songwriter Sandman, world renowned techno producer extraordinaire John Beltran with vocals on hand by Jeremy Ellis, producer and songwriter who has received worldwide acclaim for his work under his Ayro moniker.

Feed Your Mind is the latest installment to the FastFWD repertoire. A sexy prescription of analog synthesizers, pianos and keyboards mixed with a healthy dose of drum programming and finely wrought percussion is just what the dance scene needs in this down turn of contrived and over simplified tracks. Jeremy's signature voice sends out a lyrical message of openness, freedom of expression and purification through music. 

The Feed Your Mind Jeremy Ellis remix is choke full of break-beats. Easy enjoyment for the ear and fuel for the feet of any breaker or wild-styler. 

This EP was played at several venues at the Winter Music Conference 2008.

FastFWD is no stranger to hits with such tracks as Sandman's Latin Fire co-produced by FastFWD's own Riverside which has received critical acclaim since it dropped in 2007 at the Winter Music Conference and a remixing of Rob Slac's Goddess of Groove. 2010 is sure to be a productive year as FastFWD gears up for the release of I See You, a track by John Beltran due to drop in the Spring.

FastFWD music releases another dope project in “I See You.” Noted songwriter, producer John Beltran never disappoints as he lends airy, sexy vocals to the latest addition to the FastFWD repertoire. “I See You” is a full project, mixed, written, performed and produced by Beltran. The Lansing, Michigan native best known for his earlier techno work with Ubiquity and Om records, stays within that same vein of hard to categorize music yet adds a bouncy soulful vibe over groovy percussions making “I See You” a note worthy track even in its original state.  

The sultry NuJazz RMX is smooth enough to serve as background ear libation for the lounge scene or pose as a dominating banger for the club.  With a Rhodes solo by fellow Michigan native Jeremy Ellis aka Ayro, this pairing offers a saucy remix not too far removed from the original but kicked up just enough to make it so. 

Rob Slac of Om Records and Chillin Music lends his signature sound to the lineup. His RMX takes you on a whimsical journey through sound. Its airy beats and looped hooks is a definite club banger! 

Rounding out this collection of remixes is FastFWD music’s own Sandman and Riverside. This rendering offers a different spin from the NuJazz and Rob Slac renditions. Its layered affect builds upon sound adding affect one after another. In the end Sandman and Riverside still maintain the bouncy character of the original version, but with a more relaxed and sultry feel.

Following in the footsteps of techno legend, John Beltran, get ready for the darkness with “G-Ville Nights” on Fast Forward.
 Scoville’s G-Ville Nights is a tribute to the glory days of the rave scene in Gainesville, Florida, where the legendary Simon’s grew to international acclaim.  With his debut release, rising talent Scoville transports us back to the big, boomin’ warehouse sound of the 90’s.  Scoville’s original mix of G-Ville Nights is for the lover of deep, dark structured layers of synths and pads that drive late into the wee hours of the morning.  Techno for an answer!  

Washington, DC native and label owner, Riverside, teams up with musical maestro Sandman for the first of two tandem remixes of G-Ville Nights.  Riverside and Sandman are no strangers in their production partnership.  Previous releases include Latin Fire, Feed Your Mind and an upcoming remix of Windimoto’s Afternoon in Rio on their “Beauty Within: Sinister Beauty Re-Imagined”.  Riverside and Sandman drop an old school gem a la Moodyman.  The intro builds with a nu jazz sound and develops into a deep house joint sure to get the dancefloor sweaty.  With lush chords providing a canopy over the original’s dark remnants, Riverside and Sandman tweak this number out with skillfully placed jazz influences and beat drops.   Sandman says, “No sleep til Gainesville!”

Riverside returns with fellow DC native and TrueGrooves front man, KidGusto, for this deep, dark, dank and funky rendition of G-Ville Nights.  KidGusto has appeared on labels such as Citrona, Bastard Jazz and Rhythm & Culture. His first full-length album, KG Originals, received universal acclaim from critics and fans alike.  “Like any song he [KidGusto] plays or makes has, in the words of James Brown, "got to be funky.", this is no different.  KidGusto adds his signature dimension of percussive funk to the darkness of G-Ville Nights.  Riverside and KidGusto serve up some techno with a twist.  
  Fast FWD to the future… NOW!
