CHINO SMASHES "YOU ARE" REMIX

No stranger to bass, Miami's Chino is back with a fresh sound & image.

A veteran producer & DJ, Chino's slick engineering and flawless dj sets have won over hearts & ears from Toronto to Los Angeles. His freshman productions ran the gamet of such labels as Renegade, Avalanche, New Identity and Nerve and he was a staple American artist at Metalheadz WMC events for 5+ years. No doubt Chino has put in work, and he's putting in more work and more work and his basslines are bigger, drums are cleaner, ideas fresh and edgy. It's the perfect time to re-emerge and this bass scientist has all the makings of a hero.

show some love.

"REACH" DANCE CENTRAL 2 CHARTS @ #6 !

Dance Central 2 hit the ground running, opening up at #6 on the sales chart for video games, and has been holding strong since then.  With a Metacritic score of 86, it’s not difficult to see why.  With a game this popular there’s bound to be fan videos of the dances popping up all over youtube, and Armanni Reign’s “Reach” is no exception.  Featured in level one, Harmonix created a brand new dance for this song, which can be seen in the link below being performed by a pair of robots and what seems like the world’s biggest jock burnout.
