Energy 92.7: A Report Card

This isn't like when in school the teacher sat you down and told you everything that you had done wrong. Oh the power trip teachers get to exhibit is amazing! (j/k)

Since the last time I have written about Energy 92.7, a lot has changed. They have added a good number of songs, have kept up the quality of their mixshows, and the on-air talent is very interesting.

Over the course of the last couple of months, some major songs have been added. The Rauhofer Reconstruction Radio Edit of "We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey, the Kaskade Radio Mix of "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls, and the Jason Nevins Mix of "Lonely No More" by Rob Thomas are just some of the dance mixes of pop/R&B songs that have recently been added to Energy 92.7's rotation. I have been loving these songs too. Through the First Spin segment during Matt The Bratt's show during Mondays thru Thursdays at 9:15 P.M. where two songs "battle" to get the listeners votes. A song that gets a majority will go on and compete with another song. Any song that successfully wins for 4 consecutive nights will be officially added. A couple songs that didn't win during the battle got added too. Reina's "Forgive" and Ian Van Dahl's "Inspiration" are two such examples. A good number of songs have gotten exposure through this segment. Major props to Matt and the rest of the Energy administration for allowing that segment.

The mixshows are always a joy to hear now. Cardio Radio which airs Mondays thru Fridays feature some classic dance tracks and some current ones. And it's always refreshing to hear a bunch of 90's songs. Especially in the Bay Area. It's a rarity to hear many of those songs. Energy has surpassed Wild 94.9!!! Seriously. It's hot and fresh everyday on Energy!

The Weekend Kick Off Mix is great too. Trevor has been choosing some great records lately. Aaron Smith's "Dancin", the Lenny B mix of Ciara's "Oh", the Atlantic Soul Mix of Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together", Kyria vs Velez's mix of "Killin' Me" by Jenna Drey and Studio B's "I See Girls" are just some of the exclusives Trevor has been throwing in the mix lately.

Massive Mix, Clubber's Commute and other such mixshows on the weekends are great too. Lots of music that is hot in the clubs and in Europe. If I turn the volume high enough, I can't tell the difference between being in my living room or being in a club. The quality of music and mixing is great.

The on-air talent is top-notch. I couldn't summarize it any better.

And I couldn't finish without mentioning that the online stream is still the best! The quality is amazing and it must be said.

Keep up the good work!
