Getting you pumped for another Saturday night of partying! Slap these on before you head out and you'll be good to go!
La Rissa - "I do both Jay & Jane (sireena mix)"
Dana Dawson - "Show Me"
Basstoy - " Runnin' "
I guess that it's time that I threw a couple of my own songs on here. I won't bore you with my bio, so let's get to the beatz!
"Show me the way"
"I know you're out there (neo mix)"
Born Kelis Rogers (her name, pronounced 'kuh-LEESE,' is a combination of her parents' first names), the singer-songwriter was raised in a middle-class household in Harlem. Her Puerto Rican and Chinese mother, Eveliss, is a fashion designer, and her black father, Kenneth, who died two days before she inked her former deal with Virgin in 1998, was a jazz musician and a Pentecostal minister.
As a child, Kelis sang in her church choir as well as the Girl's Choir of Harlem, and played violin, piano and saxophone while attending a prestigious private school on Manhattan's stodgy Upper East Side.
My first experience with Kelis was the heavy-pounding Timo Maas remix of "Young fresh n new". So I could hardly wait to hear what they would do with her hit "Milkshake." And I wasn't disappointed. The following mix is the one I consider the best.
"Milkshake (x-press 2 mix)"
I caught a 30 second sample of the following song at the Juno Records site ( a cool place to sample new dance music) and immediately fell in love with it.
It uses the same technique that Eric Prydz used for his song "Call on me", where he pounds the same lyric sample over and over and over until you're hearing it in your sleep.
"Radio"
Californian Tony LeMans' first release was sadly to be his last (he later died in a motorcycling accident). His debut was full of promise (produced by Scritti Politti's Dave Gamson), his vocal styling was very much like a modern Sly Stone. The songs on the album were very pop/dance and very commercial.
If his life hadn't ended so tragically he could've gone onto a brilliant and successful career.
Here are his 2 best songs.
"Itchin' to be"
"Higher than High"
MIGHTY44 is Mr.B (MC), Lil'p (synths) and Kris (guitar); three guys from different musical backgrounds who mix their styles into a fearless and original composition.
The name of the band draws a clear picture of the music: a powerful mix of rock, hip hop, break beat and electro sounds.
Here is a great example. The remake of a Salt n' Pepa hip-hop/rap classic.
"Push it (planet mix)"
I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of 50 cent, but I can't resist a good remix.
"Candy Shop (OranGeFuZzZ club mix)"
"Disco Inferno (jason nevins club mix)"
Blessed with an amazing gift of song, Inaya Day began singing in church as a young child, where she got her first experience in performing.
She has recorded vocals for Michael Jackson, Al Green, Sean "Puffy" Combs, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Big Daddy Kane, Jonathan Butler and Randy Crawford, to name a few.
She has spent time on the Billboard dance charts with Projects of her own "Keep Pushin' " and "Hold Your Head Up High" both of which she sang and wrote, and produced by Boris Dlugosch. She is also the vocalist on Mousse T.'s "HORNY", which climbed to #1 on the billboard dance charts, and Mike Cruz's "MOVIN’UP", which she also co-wrote.
On her latest she reworks the Vanity 6 classic "Nasty Girl"
Selling 2 million copies of their very first single, "Take your time (do it right)", the Atlanta based The S.O.S. Band (Sounds Of Success) were destined for success.
Working with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, they would go on to have hits with "High Hopes" and the even bigger hit, "Just be good to me". But my favorite turned out to be their last hit. The beat-heavy "No Lies".
Here's something new & fresh to get your weekend started. You should be hearing this song quite a bit at your local club. If not, make sure they add it.
"I Like The Way" has all the essence of a real stomping track that combines the energy of a rock band with dance music. The synergy is very effective and captures a big sound that could easily get you dancing or head banging. The groove of the track is essentially dance based with a house rhythm that is loose but snappy and the bass rolls along smooth.
After hearing "Drop a House," the attitude-filled floorstomper with the techno outfit Urban Discharge, European group The Tamperer contacted the young vocalist of the song Maya,and they decided to rework the piece by adding a sample from The Jackson's song "Can You Feel It," and have Maya re-record the vocals.
The result: "Feel It". A track that launched "The Tamperer featuring Maya" to the top of the dance charts.
With Blogger not allowing me to post the past few days I'm going to need something to pound out my frustrations. This beat-heavy bastard should do the trick!
Teknodroid - "Jumpin' to the Beat"
There aren't many dance mixes of rock songs that I don't gravitate toward, even if I didn't really like the original version. Here are 2 examples!
Nirvana - "Lithium (dirty funker mix)"
Peter Gabriel - "Shock the Monkey (steve porter & eli wilkie dub mix)"
Born in Jamaica and raised in Toronto, Claudja Barry became a member of the diso super-group Boney M, best known for their hit "Rivers Of Babylon".
After leaving Boney M, Barry would gain huge success as a solo artist with parts in the musical Hair and several hit records, including her greatest hit to date; the Disco anthem “Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" in 1979. In 1985 she appeared in the movie “Rappin” starring Mario Van Peeples.
"Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes"
When I was DJ'ing at the club, I would put my songs into 3 seperate categories. The first part of the evening would consist of songs which I dubbed Mood Music. They would be the songs that the crowd would enjoy listening to but they weren't the huge party favorites. Just songs to get them in the mood for dancing, when they were ready to.
Like this one:
Rapination - "Love me the right way"
The middle part of the evening I would throw the Hands in the air, Scream it out loud Floor Fillers to the party people. Sounds easy, but you would be surprised how many DJs don't pay attention to this. They are mostly concerned with the mix, and how it sounds to other friends & DJs, and aren't really noticing the mood of the crowd.
Here is an example:
Channel X - "Groove to move"
The last part of the evening were reserved for my longer, more rhythmic beat-heavy grooves. By that time, the clubgoers had a few drinks in them and were getting more desperate to hook up (if they hadn't by then) and would pretty much dance to anything. On the other side of the coin, those that came just to dance were still going strong and wanted to work off their stresses of the week.
This is what I would give them:
Antoine Clamaran - "It doesn't matter (gil schwartz mix)"
Well, it's hump day and I feel like something slamming. I think that I'll allow DJ Mirko Milano to provide the heavy beatz! His style is a mixture of progressive trance & hardhouse. Sounds good to me!
"Bam Bam"
With it's incomparable vocal loop and a rhythmic beat that has the precision of a diabolical surgeon, Demon has created a classic track to keep the blood pumping, along with a video that just oozes sex : A close-up of a kiss that goes on & on & on.....
Thanks Cassandra!
Demon vs. Heartbreaker - "You are my high (white label mix)"
Here is the Video
Sometimes you hear a song that is so unique you just can't stop listening to it. With it's stuttering bass & beats, chirps & tweets, and odd lyrics, Boogie Balo, (with Roxy on vocals), lets us know about his love for chocolate & peanut butter.
You may recall the phrase "You got chocolate in my peanut butter" from an old Reeses Peanut Butter Cup commercial.
"Chocolate & Peanut Butter (dj paulo mix)"
Change is one of the most over-looked groups in the early 80's that should earn much more credit for their fantastic achievements even though it's 18 years ago they released their latest album.
It all started in Italy in 1979 where the Guadeloupe born (executive) producer Jacques Fred Petrus and his closest companion, the Italian mastermind musician Mauro Malavasi decided to launch a new group after working together a couple of years (formed Goody music records around 75). They put together session musicians and recorded music for the 1st Change album; The Glow Of Love. Then they took the recorded music and went to New York, to look for singers. Here they teamed up with Luther Vandross and Jocelyn Shaw (now Jocelyn Brown).
This is their best song.
"A Lover's Holiday"
Being from Maine, one did not have to worry about not getting into their favorite dance club. That's why I find the following song so amusing. I have no idea what it feels like to be declined entrance, but I'm sure it's a pain in the ass.
Curcuit Boy vs Massiv - "Who's at the door (fierceness mix)"
If by chance you made it in; around the 3 am mark, the following song probably made it's way onto the turntable.
Alcatraz - "Giv me Luv (deep dish mix)"
