Paul Gardner - Music In My Soul (Original Mix)

This track has really been working me. Great deep house hook over a slightly tribal drum with a a hint of 2010 tech and an excellent vocal loop. Great crescendo!

Happy New Year Everyone! Wishing all of you the very best in 2011!

Why don't I ever pass a hitch hiker like this? Say hello to Anderson Davis. I promise Anderson if you ever need a ride, you can count on me!

2010-12-14T05:59:00.004-06:00

Razor & Guido Ft. Tara Harrison - Without You (Main Mix Vocal)

A great combination of the classic Razor Guido formula with a touch of 2010 house sounds. Sassy and classy vocal house for the gay bar.

Tony Moran Ft. Ultra Nate - Destination (Edson Pride Epic Mix)

Once again Edson delivers the best of the circuit flavored mixes. The (New Era Anthem) is really good as well but I still side with Pride.

This Old Bitch...

2010-10-22T23:07:00.005-05:00

will let you have it on the dance floor to this track! Don't make me pop a Geritol!

Yolanda Be Cool - Afro Nuts (Original)

Girl one word PERCUSSION! Ok more than one word excellent vocal edits. Pure House Music!

Did someone say nuts?

Make It Better

2010-10-22T07:51:00.006-05:00

Soulmagic & Ebony Soul Ft. Ann Nesby - Get Your Thing Together

Oh my love for classic soulful house knows no limits and this track makes that love blossom. Inspirational vocals, funk, soul, and percussion. Can I get an Amen! The only trouble is, I can't decide which version I like best. The divine Mr. Jamie Lewis gives us a deeper darker version while the Soulmagic dub delivers a crisper heavy on the funk version. As Prince recently said "get your foot spray, cause it's getting funky in here".

Austin City Limits Music Festival

2010-10-15T06:31:00.012-05:00

ACL 2010

Since not all things in life revolve around house music and because I am a fan of most music in general, I thought I'd share some of my highlights from the 2010 ACL Festival in Austin, TX.

1. If you have not heard White Rabbits then you need too. I was completely unaware of the band and completely blown away when I stumbled upon their show at the AMD stage. Rock with a "MIKA" edge. In a word extraordinary!

2. Grace Potter & The Nocturnals were flat out fantastic. In between songs at Basia Bulat, I heard a female vocalist whaling away like Tina Turner. I looked up to my right and the jumbo tron at the AMD stage showed me women with long blonde locks and sequin dress thrashing about like a mad women. Of course I immediately kicked everyone off my blanket, announced I was clearly at the wrong show and proceeded to move to the AMD stage code red. This band and most notably this women absolutely threw down. It was an amazing show!

3. In Gospel/Blues tent I got the divine pleasure of being introduced to Beats Antique. Some where between India, Tennessee, and Sound Factory is where you'll find this unique bands sound. A dramatic contrast and combination of sounds that miraculously works. Sadly my camera batteries died this day and I have no photo to share with you.

4. Deadmau5 was everything you would expect him to be. It was a fun show that magically translated well to an outdoor "live" music festival. Some of my friends who are hard core anti-house music heads were even won over. By far this was the youngest audience I was in.

There were many other shows that were good or fantastic such as T Bird & The Breaks, Carolyn Wonderland, The Relatives, and of course Muse who seriously rocked. If you are looking for a break from the house beat, check out some of these great talents. Below is a picture of yours truly with a couple of my wing-women and a closing shot as I walked out of beautiful Zilker Park.

It's Like Butter

2010-10-02T05:47:00.006-05:00

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand (Original)

Awe Lawdy! Duck Sauce is back with another fun dance floor smack down. Disco in nature with an electro sensibility, this tracks simple verbal chant of Babs will have the queeny queens working. Really fun track.

And if doesn't, this delicious photo of Jake G surely will. I don't know if I have ever wanted to see a movie so badly.

Look Out Sukka

2010-09-09T06:25:00.004-05:00

TNT Inc. Vs. Alex Dimitri - Jingo (Miguel Migs Salted Remix)

Migs lays it down with his Salted mix. Taking a classic and working it over with funky guitar loops, excellent percussion, sweet bass, and one very subtle gay vocal edit. Not known for being a titian of the gay house music scene but highly respected in terms of proper/soul house circles, I was surprised and impressed by the use of a very popular gay vocal hook. House music baby all night long.

2010-08-11T05:32:00.005-05:00

Rebeka Brown - Real Things (Taito Tikaro Essence Remix 2010)

Cute mainstream track with a progressive touch and just the slightest hint of tribal. Really enjoyed the guitar loop myself. Vocal lovers will be all over this.

Karma - Business Class (Tribal Dub)

I'm not sure why I didn't post this eons ago. It explodes on the dance floor like a circuit boy on viagra and any other number of drugs. Sassy Gay House Music. I love to drop this track as a surprise. It always gets a reaction. This track among many others is always in my case under the classics section.

Nick Harvey Presents Halo - Pure Love (Nick Harvey Main Club Mix)

Well what can I say, Nick Harvey Did It Again. You will understand when you hear the classic reproduction loop.

CALIENTE

2010-07-27T20:28:00.008-05:00

Eddie Amador & Corey Andrew - Dancefloor Emergency

Well listen to me. Ain't but two things come outta house music. That's steers and that's queers. And honey, I don't see no horns! Walk Work Live Eat Sleep Work to the Beat. Amador nails it in two awesome versions, one tribal and one classic disco house. This is a code red, get it while it's hot and you can, fantastic house music track. Dare I say it rivals his... Oh no I couldn't possibly or could I?

Criminal Vibes - Bring The Beat (Original Mix)

Hello friends and followers. The move to the temp home is complete and I am back on line at least partially. This is the time of year that my paying job goes ape shit crazy busy so my posting will be, as I can.

Todays offering is a simple house house track. Great sassy vocal edits and classic drum beats. A bit on the tribal side with a touch of sax.

Harry Choo Choo Romero - Here Comes That Sound (Main Mix)

Blast from the past updated excellently by the one and only Mr. Harry Choo Choo Romero. Hats of to Miss H for posting this. Sadly this is the Main Mix Edit, I recommend you purchase the Main Mix. It's so F'ing worth it!

On a side note I will be on hiatus for a bit as I move, sell a house and purchase another. Check in with the boys at www.exmodia.com for the latest and greatest.

In honor of the The World Cup feel free to admire the deliciousness of my next future ex-husband, Mr. Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cult of GaGa

2010-06-09T05:49:00.005-05:00

Lady GaGa - Alejandro (Ander Standing Mix)

Ok, I have a confession. Although I sincerely didn't want to and am a little sick to my stomach about it, I have to admit after seeing the Larry King interview with a crooked sun glass wearing GaGa, I kind of like her.

So in honor of her seduction of my soul, I give you what she called her homage to gay people or at least Ander Standing's tribal version of that track. It's no Bad Romance but it's a nice tribal whipping of a pop song by the reigning queen of the radio airwaves.

It appears this lil "Alejandro" is ready for a whipping.

Oliver m & Jean Philips Ft. Sua Amoa - Strings of Motion (Ivan Gomez Vocal Mix)

Nice little vocal progressive track. Simple yet energetic.

GET IT

2010-06-02T07:11:00.004-05:00

Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Vandalism Mix)

Not at all like the original which is a classic but very good. Great energy, fusing elements of mainstream, electro and tribal, Vandalism scores big with this one.

Now Speaking of scoring, say hello to Sam.

Hey Mambo

2010-05-27T07:21:00.004-05:00

Shaft - Mucho Mambo -Sway- (Eric Witlox Ft. Garuda)

Shaft & Eric stick the fun back in house music. There are tons of tracks like this and I confess, they get me every time. There is something grand about taking songs from a completely different era and slapping them in the face with a big hard bouncing house beat. This track has great energy, although I wish the vocal track had been worked in over the duration rather than just break the break downs.

You Don't Think You Pay? You Pay!

2010-05-23T06:47:00.006-05:00

Zelma Davis - Free Love (Rafael M. Vocal Vibe Mix)

Several mixes of this track deliver but only Rafael's brings the dark dirty bass that is evident from the first note. Although this mix is a little less energetic than the (Barry Harris Club Mix), it's still my personal favorite.

Now speaking of Free Love, I'm, waiting for the day Daniel starts handing it out.

Let The Sunshine!

2010-05-20T06:10:00.004-05:00

Denis The Menace Ft. Markus Binafl & Rachele - Sunshine In My Heart (Original Mix)

What do you get when you combine an iconic loop from the past, a simple catchy bass line, exceptional vocals and Denis The Menace? Well do yourself a favor and listen to this track to find out. I'll give you a hint... Sweet House Music.

2010-05-19T07:21:00.005-05:00

Have you ever been at friends house and have them put on a record and in an instant you are like "What Is This?" I love finding little gems like this. That having been said, I'm roughly 20 years late discovering this gem in a sea of musical mediocrity.

If you have not already been acquainted, let me be the first to introduce you to STEREO TOTAL. A French German duo that has been churning out Atmospheric Punk Disco since the early nineties. This is some quirky super awesome stuff and I highly recommend it.

Below find a link to their 2007 recording Paris-Berlin. Don't be fooled there are many other records out there by this dynamic duo and a new one on the way. In addition is a youtube clip of their cover of "Drive My Car"

Analog People In A Digital World vs. Tim Deluxe Ft. Sam Obernik - Just Wont Do (ATFC & Warren Clarke Re-Vamp)

A touch of tribal combined with the original horn loops and vocals of Obernik really "WORK ME DAMN IT"!

Much like Chris Campanioni's ripped body.

This And That

2010-05-06T07:11:00.006-05:00

Ralphi Rosario - Do This Thing (Ralphi's Soca Extended Mix)

Ralphi delivers again with this tribal bomb that contains vocal edits that remind me of early nineties bitch house.

Come On Do It

2010-05-02T06:43:00.004-05:00

Nightrhymes Ft. Tasita D'mour - Keep On Pushing

Great vocal house! The original lends itself to mainstream soul/beach house sound. Then there is the Aaron Ross Vocal with it's deep bass and darker nature. Both versions are really good but I have to give the props to Ross. A real stand out in terms of proper deep/soul house.

HOT HOUSE!

Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup - We No Speak Americano (Original)

A very fun take on jazz and house music. It wont be for everybody but it is a simple track so you can add drums or any other loops to bring more energy or have it lean in a certain genres direction.

True House Music

2010-04-19T06:51:00.003-05:00

Dario Nunez Ft. Hector Rodriguez - Fresa (Original)

2010-04-18T07:55:00.004-05:00

Macy Gray - Beauty In The World (Ruff Loaderz Extended Mix)

Love the tribal bounce and uplifting nature of the lyrics. It's really very mainstream but in very good way.

Don't Play

2010-04-15T06:11:00.004-05:00

Held & Esposito Ft Sybille - Warning You (Aston Martinez Mix)

Proper-soul organ filled deep vocal house with a just a touch of tech essence.

Just Do It

2010-04-12T07:06:00.003-05:00

Yaxkin Retrodisko - Get On The Floor (Edson Pride Slut Mix)

Well it seems my blog is the Pride fan page at the moment. A wee bit darker than most Pride mixes, this still carries hot energy and all the circuit flair we have come to love Edson for.

Gimme Gimme

2010-04-09T06:52:00.004-05:00

Global Deejays Feat. Ida Corr - My Friend (Club Mix)

Cute mainstream. The Alternative Club Mix works too.

Rhythm Method

2010-04-03T07:41:00.007-05:00

Escobar - Feel The Rhythm

Well finally some tribal deliciousness. This .rar file contains remixes by heavy hitters Edson Pride and D. Morales as well as two others. Since it is the ever elusive Escobar we are discussing you can trust it's tribal at it's core. The Morales mix has a bit of an electro-tribe feel which I have to say I was bummed to hear. I was hoping for the big room, dark and sexy sound he has so often provided us in the past. Pride's Dub is exactly what you'd expect, circuit-tribe with sweeping synths. Danny W delivers more circuit flavored sounds and Coskin Karadag gives us a more progressive/tech/electro dish. The vocal samples of "Hey" are perfect but the female vocal track is less than perfect. I vote Edson's Dub as the best.

I'll House You

2010-04-03T07:34:00.004-05:00

Levi Gonzalez - Game Over (Original Mix)

Classic house cuts and breaks with deep bass textures & bounce.

Perhaps Another Day

2010-03-31T07:24:00.005-05:00

Mike Cruz & Inaya Day - Never Had Another Love (Friedmann & Botar Micky S Tribal Touch Mix)

Cute but lacking the umph that I have come to expect from Cruz & Day. I have yet to hear a mix that lives up to the claim that Mike & Inaya have "Done It Again".

GOT TO GIVE

2010-03-12T05:47:00.004-06:00

Steven Stone Ft. Tasha - Get Up (Terry Lex Funky Piano Mix)

Here we have a proper house romp with an awesome funky bass line and great deep house piano loop. Although this track is best suited for a proper house set it is versatile enough to be slipped right in on the gayest of dance floors.

RISE UP!

2010-03-03T06:09:00.009-06:00

Vernessa Mitchell - Rise (Kafajest Private Tribal Mix)

Hey Floor Shaker followers, sorry it's been so long since my last post. Life has been very busy and frankly I have not run across much that was worth reposting until now. This track gives us mainstream classic circuit sounds. I wouldn't say it's exceptional but it is fun, has a great uplifting message and the vicious vocals of Vernessa.

This track and this post go out the the two boys who were brutally attacked in the parking garage of Austin City Hall who chose to fight back and everyone who turned out a week later to support them in the fight against hate crimes. BRAVO!

The Dance Floor Will Come Alive

2010-01-27T04:17:00.005-06:00

2 Brothers On The 4th Floor - Dreams (Josue Escobedo Private Mix)

I've yet this year, to hear a new tribal track that make me say YES Ma'am. However, this is a great tribal remix of an older song. Really more of a mainstream, circuit, tribal sound than the dark tribal that I personally cherish but good none the less and more palatable for the masses.

Pure House

2010-01-25T06:57:00.004-06:00

Lisa Pure - Can't Say No (Vocal Mix)

Funky high hats, double bump'n bass and the vocal styles of the Divine Miss Pure deliver a deep house track about the unresistable.

No Not This Time

2010-01-25T06:35:00.004-06:00

Alfred Azzetto Ft. Robyn S - Near The Ocean (No Turning Back) (II Moods Unreleased Vocal Mix)

Laid back, soul, house. Very nice!

Not Gonna Let You Get

2010-01-22T06:08:00.004-06:00

Rino Cabrera - Best of Me (Original Club Mix)

Some what of an electro flavored progressive house track. Classic vocal edits (et) with a funky edge. Great message!

Don't Cha Ya Wanna Be Somebody

2010-01-21T05:31:00.005-06:00

Thomas Gold - Everybody Be Somebody (Matt Nugent Vox)

Oh lordy! Ruffneck feat. Yavahn get a face lift ala Gold. Very true to the original, maintaining all primary elements with a touch of update. Great throw back, add some drums and you make the floor swoon.

Pump'n Stereo

2010-01-20T05:39:00.004-06:00

Paco Buggin Ft. Joy Marquez - Is Stereo! (Ronny G. Pumped Up Club Mix)

A big fan of this track, I was very excited to run across a mix I had not heard before. It's full of tribal deliciousness. At ten minutes long, you have plenty of time to add elements over it or go to the bathroom depending on what kind of DJ you are. Mainstreamers will loath it but those who can see clearly in the dark will adore it.

Ohhh Girl Get Nasty!

2010-01-17T06:29:00.003-06:00

Leslie Hall - How We Go Out (Version 2)

Potentially one of the funniest and most awesome youtube videos I have ever seen! Stomp once for Britney, Twice for Beyonce!

House-o-licious

2010-01-16T15:40:00.003-06:00

Kucho Clan - So What (Oscar Salguero Club Mix)

This piano driven house track brings the fun back with funky bass, beats, bells and a little hand jive. Great up lifting track.

The Way I Am

2010-01-16T06:12:00.007-06:00

The Naked Housewives - Stamina (Taito Mix)

It's been a while since I delivered any electro so here is a little bass driven electro romp. It's pretty cute with good vocals. Not the typical over effected vocals of traditional electro tracks.

Oops, Oh my, what have we here. Oh silly me why it's Madonna's own little naked housewife/DJ. Such a silly, pointless article about him. Really, I don't think there is anyone who was wondering why she was dating a 23 year old. Duh! Good for both of them. He gets her coat tails and she get some hot tail. It's called a symbiotic relationship.

I Feel It

2010-01-09T08:47:00.005-06:00

Jose Spinnin & Alyson Calagna Ft. Micah & Ash Ruiz - Ahora

Latin Tribal, sexy, deep and delicious! The Cortes version has the most Latin flavor, the Terrace mix delivers some deep piano, and Alyson's gives us a traditional horns and is the most progressive sounding. All are great for tribal music fans. Mainstreamers will likely become bored unless they speak Spanish.

I Found Romance

2010-01-06T06:12:00.003-06:00

Erich Ensastigue - Boogie Wonderland

This disco classic gets a tribal pounding by Erich. One might call it a quicky at 5:46, but when it's good, a quicky is better than a bad long session any day!

Blessed Day

2010-01-01T10:10:00.003-06:00

Oscar G Ft. Tamara Wallace - Your Love (Cajjmere Wray Vocal Mix)

Everything you would come to expect from O.G. & C.W. Haunting tribal and progressive. Spiritual! Clearly Miss Wallace is to Oscar what Maya is to Offer.

I Want Your Love

2010-01-01T09:28:00.005-06:00

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (Thiago Antony Private)

Ok, I have to confess. I didn't want to but I do like this track. Specifically this version. Thiago delivers big time tribal drums, and swooshing circuit synths. It totally reminds of many nights at Rich's Houston. It's way mainstream but duh it's Gaga. Get it while you can because it was very difficult to find a live link for this version.

Everybody!

2010-01-01T08:54:00.004-06:00

Starkillerz & Disco Dollies - Get Up Everybody (Austin Leeds)

Dark pulsating tribal rhythms to start out your 2010. Fun percussion and vocal edits.

Happy New Queer

2009-12-31T06:02:00.005-06:00

Dani L Melius & Billy The Kilt - Work This Pussy (Original Mix)

You didn't think I was going to leave 2009 without delivering a gem to you, did you? Superb drums, way on the silly side but then again we are discussing Sweet Pussy Pauline. Although this track has had it's pussy worked over more times than I can count, this version sounds very Young Fresh & New. Trust, the dance floor will go BALLS for this track.

Late Night

2009-12-18T05:56:00.005-06:00

Lula & Phunk Investigation - So Fast & So Deep (Tibal Tarante Dub)

Excellent late night! The first time I heard Tibal was 2003 I believe, with Peak Fiend. All though I do not run across a lot of his mixes, I always listen when I do. This tribal and progressive track carries big time late night intensity with subtle notes of tech. Then of course there is Lula sounding quite wicked with the effects.

On a side note, should you ever meet Tibal, please ask him about the video he made at WMC a few years back and watch the look on his face. ;)

Know You're Out There

2009-12-10T06:07:00.004-06:00

Thelma Houston - I Need Somebody Tonight (Joey Negro Zone Mix)

As with most things Negro all of Joey's mixes for this track are in the proper vein. This one has a super-drum intro. Then you have the delicious combination of Thelma whaling with deep sounds, breaks and returns. Class A house!

Blast From The Past

2009-12-09T05:58:00.005-06:00

Billie Meyers - Wonderful (Barry Harris Acca-Triba-Lectro Mix)

Well well well, look who is back on the scene. Miss Harris teams back up with Miss Meyers for a little holiday romp in the audio hay. Billie's voice sounds great on the track but it does lack the energy you would usually associate with Barry. The transition from tribe to lectro is very fun though and I suspect your dance floor is going to love this track when it's properly placed in the set.

Medicine Man

2009-11-27T05:48:00.005-06:00

D-Unity - Shaman (Peter Bailey Mindcontrolled Mix)

It's time to take your medicine. See you have been ill for quite some time and I have found the cure. Dark tribal tek. This .rar file also contains (Richard Dinsdale's Remix) which is running Peter's a very close second place.

I'm The One!

2009-11-24T05:24:00.006-06:00

Bebe Zahara Benet - I'm The Shit (Ralphi Rosario Dub)

Time to GAY it up a little. Add this to the set list with DJ Ranny and Nina Flowers - Loca and you'll have all the sassy queens strutting and working for you. This is typical Rosario, tribal essence, mainstream synths, and sassy vocal edits.

1 2 3 Shake Your Body Now

2009-11-23T05:10:00.005-06:00

Ralphi Rosario Ft. Shawn Christopher - Everybody Shake It (DJ Paulo Orgasmic Dub)

A while back I posted several other mixes of this track but now it's time for a little Shaken' Paulo style. Paulo always seems to hit it just right. Typically speaking his mixes are the perfect combination of progressive sounds and tribal rhythms with a touch of vocals. Because this is a Dub in the true sense of the word the vocals on his mix are minimal. This .rar file contains (Jay-J's Drum Mix) too which is rather fun as well.

Got To Stop

2009-11-20T06:13:00.004-06:00

Syke 'N' Sugarstarr - I Don't Know (Syke 'N' Sugarstarr Main Mix)

Well floor shakers what can I say? Another post in the proper vein. It's just where I'm finding the beats that move me at the moment. Maybe all my tribal producers are on hiatus?

So this track is a return of sorts for S'N'S. After several productions in the tech genre, they now give us a great vocorder sample, a big room bass loop, and sassy vocals. Although the track is not dark per say, it lends it's self to that feel. The tech influence is still there but the structure of the song is more proper. It's actually a great combination of multiple genres.

Facebook Files

2009-11-19T05:45:00.004-06:00

Armand Van Helden & A-Track Present Duck Sauce - Grand Steppin' (Original Mix)

So this little gem came to my attention via facebook and a nightlife icon here in Austin TX, Our Lady of the Golden Turn Table... Miss H aka Michael Hernandez. Armand & A-Track give us classic disco and house sounds in a over saturated tech and "Ibiza" market, so it sounds almost new. I'll go step further and coin a new term. Lets call it Roots House. It's fun with great energy and most of all it's straight up sounds happy. Miss H's quote was "I can see all the old school kids voguing to this".

The Lyrical Jessie James

2009-11-14T16:43:00.003-06:00

Beaten Soul & Keith Thompson - Change (Souldynamic Saxstrong Mix)

Spoken word over deep deep soul filled house highlighted with sax stabs and riffs.

Pulsating Energy

2009-11-14T07:16:00.004-06:00

Cihan Elte - Dancer In The Dark (Original Mix) (Tamer Fouda Drum-O-Quanza Remix)

Wickedly dark pulsating progressive house. No vocals to speak of. This track is all about driving energy with a slinky sex appeal. I'm feeling both of them but when I'm in the car and the Bose is blaring, I tend to lean to the original which is surprising as I have tendency to lean Fouda most of the time. This link is a .rar that contains both mixes listed above.

Chill Out Mother Fucker

2009-11-14T06:11:00.011-06:00

Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Vox)

Oh Mr. Ferrer... simply put you are the king of cool. This track is chill at it's core with exceptional vocals. Dennis always brings something different to speakers and has done it again with this track. The track is exceptional and stands out instantly.

The track is so good and has inspired me so, that it garners the first promo video post ever on Floor Shaker. It's amazing to see Dennis vibe to his own track. The man is delivering energy on every level and looking good doing it.

Some additional information about the track form Mr. Ferrer in his own words.

"So here it is....the record is called Hey Hey!! I wrote this about the first time someone meets someone that piques your interest in the street. You walk by and someone grabs your attention. Most of the time you don't want it but occasionally you'll entertain someone and if the stars align right...well you hook up. Sometimes it turns out bad and you reflect and you tell yourself...DAMN! why'd i do that in the first place. That's the thought that went into this when i wrote it.

I had a difficult time looking for the right person to sing this song as it wasn't the generic vox record of old. I needed an edge. Someone who's voice had personality. I think I found it with this artist.

The record is definitely different and might take ya a few listens but I hope you enjoy as it comes from the heart.

Chorus voxes was Me, Vivien Goldman (the wonderful professor of post-punk at NYU who also wrote and performed the 1981 post-punk classic "Launderette") and Dominique Keegan of The Glass. They were done through a Neumann U47 in Omni (cuz we were scattered around the booth..cardoid would've sounded weird..too focused on one particular person) into a Neve 1064 and compression was done through a Purple MC77."

Lub Dub

2009-11-08T06:05:00.005-06:00

D-Lav, Shlavens & Craig Mitchell - Noises 2009 (Edson Pride Rapido Dub)

Dark progressive house. Great energy and the lub dub boom of a heart beat. This track is about late night, volume, and a great sounding system that doesn't muddy up the low end. In short the track rocks my disco balls.

Hooked Up On You

2009-11-08T05:48:00.005-06:00

Jocelyn Brown - Somebody Else's Guy ( Alex Dubbing Aggressive Mix)

So far this is my favorite version of JB's track. It's a great combination of styles. A hint of deep house, synthed out piano, tribal essence, a great A Cappella, a funky proper house breakdown, then back to bang'n it out.

Bump & Dance

2009-11-05T06:02:00.007-06:00

Celeda - The Underground (Jesse Garcia)

Well now, we really are discussing a nightlife classic when it comes to this dance floor crusher. Here we sit a decade later with new mixes by some of the industries best. Jesse gives us a progressive version with a bit of a funky flavor and subtle notes of electro. It was not what I expected from Garcia and I have to say I like it.

Celeda - The Underground (D-Unity Remix)

If you are looking for a darker more tribal version then you'll want to Let D-Unity lead you down.

Not posted here but worth checking out is the (Richard Grey Remix). Richard uses the best part of the original and adds new elements.

Nailing It!

2009-11-02T05:56:00.005-06:00

Inaya Day - Got 2 Get Up (Mr. Timothy 2009 Mix)

If every time someone remixed a classic it came out this good the world of dance would be a much better place. This is an absolute must have. There seems to be a magic relationship between Mr. Timothy and the vocals of Inaya. Don't even get me started on the flawless mini scat. I almost came completely undone when I heard this track, it's just too hot for words.

Let There Be House!

2009-10-29T07:02:00.006-05:00

Sandy Rivera - Dirty Sax (Original Mix)

Step back... cause this shit is Grade A, white hot, house music baby! No vocals, Sandy lets the sax do all the talking. Deep proper house at it's best. I'm in love! If you don't like or "get it", sorry bout your bad luck. My heart goes out to you and you'll be in my prayers.

I'm Texting You

2009-10-22T06:17:00.007-05:00

Simone Denny & Barry Harris - Drama Queen (Texting U Edson Pride Epic)

Okie Dokie, I'll cave and post this cheese ball of a track. This mix is better than Wayne G's and the Barry Harris versions but the track is still quite cliche'. With lyrics like "Don't even bother texting me back" & "Don't text, leave me alone, I just deleted your personal ring tone" it's struggle for me to listen and not shake my head in disappointment.

The music is your typical mainstream circuit sound with a tribal core. I love me some Edson but "Epic" might be a bit of stretch or it could be that the lyrics just annoy me that much. Sadly this track is going to be really popular especially with the younger chicken set, Nellies, and drag queens. So get ready for the onslaught of requests.

Without You

2009-10-21T06:04:00.007-05:00

DJ Dex Ft. Kathy - It Just Wont Do (Club Mix)

Originally done by Tim Deluxe & Sam Obernik in 2002, this remake is cute. It reminded me of how much I loved the track in general. The (Svenstrup & Vendelboe Mix) is nice too in more mellow beach house kind of way.

Voulez vous coucher avec moi

2009-10-18T20:11:00.003-05:00

Moulon Rouge - Lady Marmalade (E-Thunder Mix)

Very nice! It was done well in 2002 and E-Thunder delivers with this tribal mix.

There Is No Guest List Tonight!

2009-10-17T07:11:00.007-05:00

Erich Ensastigue & Ze Chacon - Eu Te Amo (In Stereo Mix)

Once in a while a track comes along that you may hear several times and then all of the sudden you hear it again but you hear like you have never heard it before. This is one of those tracks for me. This is a smoking hot progressive track that you will not truly be able to appreciate until you have heard it loud and feel the sound wrap around you. Intense, full of energy, and way big dancing fun! The file is .rar with several other mixes but it's all about the In Stereo! Played after your hottest tribal vocal track it will take the roof off the venue.

Welcome

2009-10-15T06:41:00.005-05:00

DJ Will Beats & Noveletto - Let The Music Play

I'm not sure if everyone else has assumed as I did that this was another rehash of Shannon but let me tell you it's not. There are butt load of remixes. Tribal base ala Will Beats with a progressive circuit sound. The track is alright but the vocals kinda miss the mark. It's as if someone is trying to sound cool and the very effort of trying makes it, well, a little uncool.

I think the track would have been a lot better if it had the following mix of elements: The bass and beats from the Tannuri Mix, The vocal track from the DJ Diogenes Mix (they are deeper, richer and less flat), and the synths from the Rogerio Lima Mix.

AMAZING HOUSE

2009-10-15T05:39:00.006-05:00

Laura Izibor - From My Heart To Yours (U-Ness & Jedset Soulheaters Mix)

You can call it proper, beach, or soul house as long as you recognize this is an amazing track. Smooth sexy and chill. Excellent vocal edits and effects! Tracks like this make me long for a place in Austin where DJ's play this kind of house and the crowd goes nuts vibing it. Sadly here in the "live music" capitol of the world this type of amazing house doesn't draw a crowd large enough to keep a venue alive.

For The Masses

2009-10-14T05:29:00.007-05:00

The Veronicas - Everything I'm Not (Eddie Baez Anthem)

If mainstream pop remixed into a mainstream dance track is what your into than look no further.

Where We Can Be Free

2009-10-13T06:56:00.005-05:00

Aly-Us - Follow Me (Harry Cho Choo Romero & Jose Nunez Deep In Jersey Mix)

One of my absolute all time favorite tracks. If you don't get chills when the classic strings loop comes in then you may need to question weather or not you have a soul. This version has an updated deep tech oriented sound but Choo Choo & Nunez keep it real with the original strings, vocals, and the rich deep bass textures we have come to expect from Romero.

Move

2009-10-13T06:07:00.007-05:00

Dandy - I Wanna See You Move (Original Mix)

Tribal Drums, Latin Percussion, Effects, Breaks, and more Percussion. Several other mixes out there of note, but not posted here is the Rodrigo Baron Fire Drum mix.

Bump'n House

2009-10-11T07:28:00.004-05:00

Soydan - Running With the Beat

Ghurl! So fine! Funky ass jack'n house. Dance while the record spins. Think cool on the level of Basement Jaxx.

Asses Nice & Tight

2009-10-08T07:36:00.004-05:00

DJ Lupo Vs. Tanzamomo - Everybody Beat (Lupo Mix)

A bit on the silly side and unquestionably repetitive but a super fun house track. This is an early track, 11:00ish. A great transition track from crappy pop into the realm of dance.

A NEW DAY

2009-10-05T06:57:00.002-05:00

Antoine Dessante & Inaya Day - Let There Be (Antoine Dessante Club Mix)

Really strong intro then, this sort lame piano synth loop that in my opinion just doesn't work. It has a really dated simple sound that does not contrast well with the drums. Man I was seriously hoping to be thrilled by this track too. You know I seriously heart me some Inaya but not even her vocals could save this mix. I was disappointed in the Denzel Mix as well. The good news is the track has tons of potential and there are a lot of producers that can save it. I'll be looking forward to hearing some different mixes.

Look The Funk Out Sukka

2009-10-03T06:37:00.005-05:00

Armand Van Helden - Funk Phenomena (Starkiller Re-Edit)

Oh how I loved this track when it first came out and Helden could do no wrong. This Starkillers update does an excellent job of maintaining the integrity of the original while making a slamming new version! "YEAH"

More Energy

2009-10-03T06:09:00.003-05:00

DJ Lapetina & Alex Marie - Feelings Out (DJ Morais Mix)

Another Morais drum driven vocal treat for the circuit set. Some fun breaks and vocal samples that everyone will recognize.

Why You're Here

2009-10-03T05:59:00.005-05:00

Jumble - Free Your Mind (Ricardo Reyna Digital Drums)

An after-hours progressive tale about the drive and energy of the dance floor. You'll know why you are here after you play this with volume up.

Yeah Ugh Huh

2009-09-28T07:18:00.004-05:00

D-Unity - Tribal Rhythm (Energy Man Nova Mix)

As with most things D-Unity, we are talking about pounding hypnotic drums and punishing bass lines. This version adds a little urban feel with vocal edits which are really more like verbal edits than vocal edits as nobody is actually singing on the track.

Hey Mister

2009-09-27T08:27:00.004-05:00

Andrea Carnell - You Used to Know (Yaron Knochen Power Mix)

This track is all about the circuit. Sweeping synths, check, bitter female vocals, check, tribal drums, check, and high energy, check. It sounds a lot like a Nissim and Rosario combo. You can trust, all your hot bodied boys will thumping to this one.

Lift Me Up

2009-09-27T07:46:00.003-05:00

Ann Nesby - So Much Joy (Alex Acosta Vocal Mix)

A touch of tribal, seasoned with a hint of electro, and uplifting lyrics combined with classic circuit synths. I dig it but I was hoping for a bit more thunder from Acosta.

A New Life & I'm Feeling Good

2009-09-25T07:17:00.007-05:00

The Beatthiefs & Suzee X Ft. Peyton - Feeling Nina (Micha Moor Mix)

Bombastic Nina Simone! If you love soul, jazz, straight up house or Micha, you are going to be hot for this track! Excellent production! This is truly exceptional.

* Sorry readers, I looked for an updated link but the campaign to keep this off the web must be big because all the links I found where dead. It's worth the $2.50 though so get it. 10/03/09

STOP

2009-09-24T06:13:00.004-05:00

Wendel Kos Ft. Andrea - Mr. Right (Wendel's Basement Mix)

A good ole school, funky flavored, gay bar sounding house track. Big crunchy bass line, a little vocorder action and a heavy pop sensibility.

Shum On Gloria Les Go

2009-09-20T04:32:00.006-05:00

John Revox - Break The Conga

Just a fun tribal cover to the Gloria Estefan pop classic.

The Audience Is Listening

2009-09-19T12:00:00.004-05:00

Chris Cox, Steven Lee, & Trent Cantrelle - Siren Says (Original Mix)

An intense tech lovers delight, a vocal lovers nightmare. This is one of those rare tech tracks that can keep my attention with out being played in a big room. Versatile enough to be dropped in a progressive or tribal set to add a new element.

Not Your Everyday Gay

2009-09-13T19:08:00.005-05:00

Ellektra vs Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine 2009 (Ellektrafied Full Vocal)

There are so many old soul songs that get rehashed into dance tracks with a lame breakdown in the middle which leads to a sample of the original track then a swoosh and back to the beat without really creating something new of the original track. Well this is not one of those. This is a full on audio assault with Marvin Gaye's vocals leading the charge! To take such an iconic song and so masterfully create a true dance track out of it as is done here is rare. This falls under the ATFC - Papa Was a Rolling Stone category of exceptional.

LORD of VIBE

2009-09-11T06:10:00.008-05:00

Funk Soldiers and In 2 Deep Ft. Jelone - Did You Ever (Sandy Rivera Vocal Mix)

In keeping with the house theme this AM. I give you Sandy Rivera. I first heard Sandy back in 2000 with one of my favorite tracks Young Hearts, I was a late Rivera bloomer, and I have been "hooked" ever since. This track is a an interesting contrast of a dark nature and soulful vibe. It's remarkable actually, a track that grows on you versus attacking you instantly, but that's because it's so smart, intelligent, and well crafted.

Sandy's tracks are not for everyone but if you watch and listen you will notice the people who claim to know everything about house are not so into him and people who do know a lot about house are.

Divas 2 the Dancefloor Please

2009-09-11T05:56:00.006-05:00

Natural Born Grooves Ft. Thea Austin - Bad Bad Baby (Extended Mix)

A simple house track with the fantastic vocals of Mizz Austin.

Chris B Ft. Angie Brown - Heaven With You (Club Mix)

Piano house with lilting pop lyrics delivered superbly by Brown.

THE BIG ONE

2009-09-10T06:31:00.008-05:00

Junior Vasquez Ft. Maxi J - Insecurities

My money is on the R&G Anthem. It's everything we have come to love from these two when they collaborate. Joe Carrano's Big House Mix sounds more like tribal than house to me but what do I know. Then we have Grandpa's Mix which sounds like Junior dropped a big ole tab of electro before he went into the studio. Honorable mention goes out the Fumi Kondoh Mix which is not posted here but can be found lurking about the web.

***(Razor & Guido Anthem Vocal)***

(Joe Carrano's Big House Mix)

(Junior's Original)

Listen It's Getting Closer

2009-09-08T06:54:00.005-05:00

JC Mazter - It's Time 2 Smoke (Original Mix)

Dark Progressive House with great use of the doppler effect.

Cruise Control

2009-09-02T06:19:00.005-05:00

Bill Bennett Ft. Pepper Mashay - Manhunt (Jose Spinnin' Club)

The drum reminds me of rolling/marching nature of The Timelords/The KLF Doctorin' the Tardis (1991). Anyway, the track is fun but lacks the big room energy I would expect from the three people denoted in the title.

I Love Nobody Else

2009-09-02T06:01:00.003-05:00

Cevin Fisher Ft. Loleatta Holloway - Your Got Me Burning Up 09' (Augusto Baeza's Private Mix)

Another face lift for Burning Up. High energy tribal/progressive. If you play it they will dance.

Speaking of Schooled

2009-09-01T06:29:00.004-05:00

Inland Knights - It's On Tonight

Inland Knights, aka Laurence Richie & Andy Riley, are considered Titans of the house music scene by DJ's. Never typical, always cool, and often exceptional. I've yet to hear a track I didn't like produced by this duo. More of a proper house sound with a touch of tech & soul. If my typical tribal post are what you are looking for this is not your track. If your looking for something different, edgy, and little more chillaxed then hit it.

That's Da Sound!

2009-08-28T07:24:00.011-05:00

Hatchys - Nebula (Original Mix)

Dark and when I say Dark I mean Danny Tenaglia DARK. As in Global Underground's, Danny Tenaglia 004, disc 1, track 13, Anthony Rother - Red Light District DARK which was released a decade ago in 1999. Lets not forget Tenaglia is nothing less than groundbreaking and quite franky a musical genus. When I listen back to this G.U. release, I'm astounded by how cutting edge it was and how relevant it still is.

I'm straight up wet for the heavy bass synth of Nebula and the second I heard it I was instantly transported back to the first time I heard the Rother track. This is a DJ's DJ track and it gets 5 stars as far as I'm concerned. This shit is hot hot hot!

If you are so inclined, check out Anthony Rother - Red Light District here to understand the connection between the two tracks and consider yourself schooled. (ripped from the recording mentioned above)

Atlanta got schooled, congratz Atlanta!

Circuit Sounds

2009-08-26T06:38:00.005-05:00

Altar Ft. Jeanie Tracy - Turn It Out (Original)

Exactly what you'd expect from the names above. Typical circuit sounds, so much so, I'd have to say it sounds just like the last track they collaborated on.
