Intriguingly, just as club music prepares for its most significant mainstream surge in the past five years, Blaqstarr—the soulful, Baltimore, Maryland-born club kingpin—resurfaced to the scene with the Mad Decent-released Blaq-Files EP. One of the underground iconic tracks on the EP was neighborhood anthem "Hands Up, Thumbs Down," which re-surfaces as the year comes to a close with a video shot by director Lofty Nathan, he of much lauded dirtbike culture-centric independent film 12 O'Clock Boys fame. Still needing to get your hands on some Blaqstarr classics to add to your once again ever-growing catalog of club music? Grab the Blaq-Files EP for free as you shake and rock it in time to the bass-laden beat.
