Feel The DJ

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!

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.

Make It Better

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".

It's Like Butter

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

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.

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.

Music Is

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

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?

Flying High Again

Mark Alvarado - Fly With Me (Original Mix)

Fun little progressive track with an Offer feel. Good energy with a slight touch of tribal.

Cult of GaGa

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.

Happy Days

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

Nice little vocal progressive track. Simple yet energetic.

GET IT

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

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.

Let The Sunshine!

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.

Departure From Dance

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"

PARIS-BERLIN

DRIVE MY CAR

My Eyes They Can Look See

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.

In The Ear Of The Beholder

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.

Just Do It

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.

Rhythm Method

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

Levi Gonzalez - Game Over (Original Mix)

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