1 2 3 Shake Your Body Now
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
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
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
Beaten Soul & Keith Thompson - Change (Souldynamic Saxstrong Mix)
Spoken word over deep deep soul filled house highlighted with sax stabs and riffs.

Pulsating Energy
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
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
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
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
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.
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!
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.
