Remake Wonderland

The House Moguls - Been A Long Time (Original Mix)

I truly am a sucker for a rework of a classic. This has big fat chunky beats and will certainly get you audience response the first time you drop it.

TOP 10 of 2008 (Tribal Genre)

A small selection of tracks from 2008 that either moved my audience or me.

1. DJ Twisted Dee - Drop That Beat (Complete Trip Mix)

2. Denis the Menace Ft. Big World - Fired Up 08 (Princess Ann Vs Horny)

3. Coca & Villa - La Noche (D-Formation Beat Freak Mix)

4. Bob Sinclar & Steve Edwards - Together (Friscia & Lamboy Short Club)

5. Steven W. & Chawi Singers - Oh Happy Day (Andre Rocc Unreleased Mix)

6. Niaz Arca & Andy Notalez - Club Goes Boom (Original Mix)

7. X-Press 2 Ft. Kurt Wagner - Give It (Friscia & Lamboy Salvation)

8. Happy Clappers - I Believe 08 (Princess Ann Club-O-Rama Reconstruction)

9. Hardsoul - Nothing Better Than Your Lovin' (Prom & Roog)

10.Eddie Amador Ft. Pepper Mashay - Release Yourself (Amador's Primo Mix)

* A few of these tracks were actually released just prior to 2008 but moved into my sets in 08.This list's focus is on tribal. It would look completely different if I included other genres of house.

** It was difficult for me to list Fired Up 08 & I Believe 08, because in reality they are not new songs by any stretch of the imagination. However, Princess Ann is quite something, absolutely one to keep an ear on in the future and her versions of these tracks rocked the F-ing dance floor this year.

Colossal Screaming Bottoms

Jonat Vega Ft. Oscar Marks - Work Me (Yvan Finzi Bien Horny Mix)

So listening to this track, I can't help but wonder who the screaming bottom boy is? I mean clearly one of the three has to be. The track is a dark and progressive and a definite must have for any "Bath House DJ". Oddly part of the download url is... jzm coincidence? I think not!

Do It Like You've Never Done Before DANCE

Flavio Brucken - Don't Stop (Original Mix)

This is quite the tribal homage to what can only be called a nightlife classic, Celeda's UNDERGROUND. Done quite well, it's dark and mysterious and other than the actual words, sounds nothing like the original.



Love Groove - Welcome to the Underground (Love Groove Main Mix)

Primarily a progressive track, mixed with the track above you have dance floor magic. These two songs beg, and I mean beg to played over each other. Lyricly speaking they are match made in heaven.

90's Choice... Raise Your Hands

X-Press 2 - London Xpress (Original Mix)

So the boys are back at it again. This X-Press 2 track is a sweet sampling of 90's house sounds. The track doesn't really "go anywhere" as such but makes a great transition piece in nice house set or could be very effectively used in a live mash.

I Need You Baby

J. Verner - Put Your Hands Up (Club Anthem Mix)

This is a great uplifting circuit tribe track. Trippy vocal effects, swooshing synths over pounding drums, with creepy male vocals chanting for you to "put your hands up" and female vocals crying out for love "I need you baby". This is the kind of tribal track that has mass appeal. It will turn on Offer fans, those who like it dark and those who love vocals.

I AM READY & I'm out the door

Space Drums - Tribal Con Passion (I'm Ready For The Drums Mix)

A friendly little tribal and progressive ditty with the iconic vocal sample from Size 9 . 90's house music fans will dig it for the vocal sample tribal music fans will like it for the drums. I personally wish the drums had been a bit more Thundering but then again I am a very serious percussion/drums fan.

Try Try & Try Again

Made By Monkeys - And I Try 2009 (Baron & Martinus Mix)

Words can not express how much I liked this song when it came out in 03<(I believe). The haunting vocals and desperate lyrics sincerely touched me. However, sadly it did not seem to resonate with crowds and I never understood why. Maybe now in 2009 it will find a place in the hearts of those who crowd dance floors. I have to say I still prefer the original mixes. The new synth seems somewhat out of place at first, then it does out of no where add some great energy. Perhaps it just needs to grow on me.

Makes Me Feel I'm In Heaven

Jjah V.S. Ron Carroll - Dancin' With You

This track has so many good remixes that I couldn't decide which to post. So I give you three.

(Hardsoul Classic Mix) = Just what the remix title promises. Organ, sassy classic percussion, and superb vocal dubs give you a delicious disco sound.


(Soul Conspiracy Remix) = Darker bass line with classic house piano, rendering it a more funky version.


(Dave Mayer Remix) = Even darker and more dubbed down than any of the other mixes with a faster bmp this version is more spacey and would fit nicely between two, or over one bang'n tribal track. This is the late night night version.



Also of note, is the (Dutchican Soul Remix) with a nice little tease of sax loop and well, who doesn't like a little tease once in while?

Bang'n Beats

JC Matzer - Sax Gruvs (Original)

I will never never never get enough of marching tribal drums, bouncing hypnotic bass lines, and mesmerizing sax.

Black is Back

Tommy Love - Black (Original)

Hard electro edged house with a tribal sensibility. I didn't know black was ever out but I'm glad to be in the "loop" now and know it's back.

Feel My Drums... again

Alex Acosta & JJ Romero - The Drums Are Back (DJ Wope Dark Tribal Mix)

Yes it's theme this morning and theme is FIERCE, dark, undulating, tribal rhythms. This one brought to you by one of my favorite DJ/Producers DJ WOPE aka VENEZUELA DRUMS

Dark Tribal Rhythms

DJ Numb 1 - Audio Dark (2009)

Solid driving dark tribal. This is a late, late, late night track and I love it.

Tech-a-licious

So as I have said before , although I can appreciate it, I am not Huge fan of the tech/minimal scene. However, there are some tracks that grab me by the unmentionables and pull me onto the dance floor. Here are two of them. Both tracks have a hypnotic dark nature and a bit of progressive edge. Requiem even has the tiniest hint of tribal essence.

Umek - Spare Good For Me (Original Mix) *this link is a .rar file containing two other mixes


Oliver Koletzki - Requiem fur die Vernunft (Luetzenkirchen Mix)

If I Were an Electro DJ... I'd Sound Like This

Super Mal - Rough Justice (Original)

Elements of Funk, Soul, House and Electro combine to create something I'd try very hard to work in my set. Great Track

Sommerville Strikes Again!

Mastiksoul, Nick & Danny Chatelain - Land of Spirits (Original)

A Tech, Tribal, Progressive, and House "Clash of the Titans". This is a DJ's, DJ track.

ATTACK of BARZILLA

Dario Nunez, Patricia - Musica Linda Ft. Checky (Original)

Not sure what to say about the title but the music is slam'n! Seriously this track is F'n HOT! It would seem that Mr. Nunez is combining his past tribal sound with his newer tech sound. The result is... well you decide.

Something Different

Ron Carroll - Bump To This (Bart B More & Bingo Players)

This is not a usual post for me but I am a Ron Carroll fan and when I heard the driving, repetitive housed out synth and the vocal dub of the female rapper, I fell in love. I could do without the male vocals but in the end this is strong house track.

The Devil Made Me Do It

666 - Alarma (DJ Sertac Tribal)

Hard latin tribal track that uses the "Witch Doctor" horn loop. I have no idea who the DJ/Producer is or even if I have right. I discovered it randomly during a 4:00 AM music search and franky didn't feel like doing the research. The (Hott Bass Mix) is nice too.

Feel The Music Through Your Soul

Ronnie Maze Ft. D Layna - House Music Will Never Die (Original Club)

Well we have a theme this week and it is that there is no holding back music. In this case it's house music. This track has a strong drum loop that has a tribal essence but it's really a mainstream track that has big Diva vocals.

Bring The Horns Back (or in this case the woodwins)

Splashfunk Ft. Luke & Dan (Sound For Rent Mix)

So, I feel like I have become the "sax" blogger. I am just simply coming across a lot of good tracks featuring sax. This is a rar file with three mixes. Don't be fooled by the (Tribal Mix). If tribal is what you seek, it is the (Sound For Rent Mix) that you want.

So Much Love To Give

Angie Brown - Burning Up (David Ospina Mix)

Classic sweet house music with the soulful vocals of Miss Brown. Nice production and great percussion.

And... well, because this my blog , the deep and saxy version.

Angie Brown Clements Rumpf - Burning Up (Sax Groove Vocal Mix)

Been Along Time Since You Looked Into My Mind

The Transatlatins Ft. La India - I Can't Live Without Music (ND Mix Edit)
This is a fun mainstream tribal-ish track. Another in a long long long line of songs dealing with the fact that life would be oh so drab without music.

WHY NOT SAX

Sam Project - Why (Original Club)

Hot Hot Hot! Slamming vocals, great sax loops, and a few other surprises. This IS House Music Baby. Excellent production.

TRIBE FROM THE SKY

Mike Viera - From The Sky (Original Mix)

Bang'n circuit tribal sound with "Orb" like spoken word vocal track.

God Blessed This DAY

Michael Woods Ft. Inaya Day - Natural High (Out of Office Vocal)

Big time house track with The Amazing Inaya Day. It's a must have.



Michael Woods Ft. Inaya Day - Natural High (Micky Slim Mix)

For the electro lovers...

Deep Into Your Soul

Grantorino Ft. Sharon - What You Won't Do (Mr. Fuzz Deepness Mix)

Uber deep soulful house. This track is fierce on a level most "electronic music fans" sadly never reach. One thing I really appreciate about this version is that if it were not for the title you would never know it was the same track as below. In my humble opinion that is part of what "remixing" is about. Taking something and making it something else. Dare I say "Impressive Instant"


Grantorino Ft. Sharon - What You Won't Do (Spiritual Blessings Funky Donkey Remix)

Well, first of all what's not to like about Funky Donkeys? This version is more funk & groove. Deep house female vocal track.

Deep Dark & Sexy

India - I Can't Get No Sleep (Costanzo Vukas & Maximus 3000)

I posted a 2008 tribal mix of this previously. I just ran across this new version today and I have to say. I love it. Super dark & sexy. Nice effects on Le India's voice. The Klubjumpers Extended is nice to.

Keeping It Hard

DJ Care - Hard Bass (Karim Mika Hard Tribal Mix)

Tribal music fans will really enjoy this song. Others will go do a bump when you play it.


DJ Care - Hard Bass (Original)

I actually prefer this version because it has more diversity and is still tribal. I would probably play a combination of the two live.

A New Anthem

Pimp Jam Ft. Norma Lewis - Feel You Feelin Me (Sleazesisters Anthem)

A mainstream track with big appeal for the boys. My Miss Cleo Senses tell me you will be hearing A LOT of this at the gay bars. I have to say, it's really difficult not to like it. Other mixes out Nov. 16th.

You Can Put It In Your Mouth or Stick It In Your Ass

Hatiras & MC Flipside - Autograph (Original Dirty)

This is a really fun, funky electro house track with HILARIOUS lyrics. To listen is to take a trip back in time playing Atari.


** LINK UPDATED ** 08/22/09

Get Your Pumps On & Work It!

Altar - Macumba In Sexercise 2008 (Mill Drag Mix)

GHURL! This is slamm'n, sassy ass, strut and work your mutha fuck'n shit out on the dance floor house music!

Fisting Takes Practice

Burnett & Cooper - Heat of You (DJ Fist Mix)

Hard electro flavored and tribal seasoned house with male vocals.

Oh Yes It Is A Happy Day!

Steven W. Feat. Chawi Singers - Happy Day 2008 (Andre Rocc Unreleased)

Hot, bang'n, uplifting, tribal, gospel, house music baby! Your dance floor will LOVE this track. Now get your ass to church and repent for the sins you committed this weekend (especially the one in the bushes with that stranger in the Tom of Finland outfit)!

Happiness Is...

First Choice - Love & Happiness (Ray Jones Vocal)

Ok, lets be clear I'm discussing the phenomenal Al Green and First Choice. Love & Happiness is frankly, one the greatest songs of all time. The song has maintained a longevity that few can rival. First Choice and Ray Jones have delivered to us an exceptional version in the very deep and soulful tradition of classic house. This track would never fly at gay bar or even your typical straight club but in those deep, small, urban spaces where the really cool people come together to hear true house music the crowd will love you. It is something that will make you do right, something that will make you do wrong.

* I have always wanted the likes of Peter Rauhofer (whom by the way is fan of 60's soul) or lets say DJ Paulo to bring the world a hard, tribal, whaling diva version of this song. Perhaps one day.

Can You Feel It

J Nitti Ft. Shirley Davis - Deep Down (Original)

Oh lord throw your hands in the air and give thanks for the sultry vocals of Shirley Davis on this track. The song has an updated deep house sound with some serious drum action. And who doesn't like some action now and then.

3 Great Tracks & One Badass EP

The Raytech - The Ultimate Tribal House EP

House Beatz = Tribal with house oriented vocal samples,
The Ultimate Tribal House = Dark Gritty Classic Tribal (The way I love it),
Backstage = Tribal with a tech edge

House Beatz (Original)

The Ultimate Tribal House (Original)

Backstage (Original)

Not Everyone Understands House Music

Fred Garcia - Sunflowers (Original)

This is a great dubbed out house track. It has a harder nature than most "House" tracks but when you hear the vocal samples there is no question. This is house music.

Careful Baby... It's Too Hot To Touch!

Luis Caballero - Sumba (2008 Rework)

TRIBAL Tribal tribal. You can play this track in a house, pop, mainstream, progressive, or tribal set and it will slide right in. Is it my imagination or was it called Zumba the first time around with Antoine Clamaran?

Electro Rewind

Thomas Gold & Menck - Everybody Be Somebody (Hy2rogen & Nikola Mix)

1995, such a good time for House Music. This electro rework of Ruffneck Ft. Yavahn is nice trip down memory lane. The youngsters on your floor will dig it.

Cucci Cucci Coo

Edson Pride - This Beat Is Hot (Dena Cucci Hot Tribal Mix)

I could pontificate forever about the song but between the track and remix titles, I think all the bases are covered.
