Sean Bartley (with Codi) featured in CW50’s Detroit Proud Playlist

Detroit TV station CW50 featured Sean Bartley and his track ‘Vega’ with special guest vocals by Codi at the top of their latest Detroit Proud Playlist – Week 5/5 Special EDM Edtion.

Sean started his career under the Happy Hardcore/Hard techno alias “Sean Apollo,” having releases on some of the UK’s biggest hardcore labels, including Evolution Records. More recently, he’s locked himself in his studio for over a year doing what he does best – producing progressive house and electronic…and guess what, fans? WE were lucky enough to be given an EXCLUSIVE track right from him. “Vega” is an infectiously upbeat tune, and we will be the first to say that we can’t turn it down!

Blank Code Podcast 143 – Gusto

Augustus Williams, aka Gusto is best defined by his pure Detroit sound, while incorporating funky house brought on by the memories of his childhood.  At an early age Gusto discovered a love for the Motown sound, but the music that captured him first was Hip Hop and the genuine style and funk infusions.  Through a new breed of Detroit promotions, the popular Detroit promoters ‘Nightsneak‘ would later become Gusto’s outlet to the Detroit scene soon becoming a local favorite.

Gusto began to direct his energy through drum machines and sequencers, often combining those efforts for a no less than impressive show. Playing mostly live shows for the better part of the last 11 years, people often forget he started out as a DJ.  In the studio his tracks are made with the DJ and the dance floor in mind, and with this production thought he has developed the sound that defines him as a truly unique artist. The rest is not history, but the future for this talented die hard as he continues to this day to kill dance floors with intense bass and funky hooks on that legendary Detroit sound he is known for.  Keep up with Gusto on Soundcloud and Beatport!
