Let There Be House!

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
