Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland - Promiscuous (Remixes)

This is the lead single from her latest album Loose. And this one is already shaping up to be the "Summer Song of 2006."

And these remixes have the potential to make this song the "Clubland Song Of Summer 2006."

Ralphi Rosario has done the honors this time around. He delivers three mixes that each have something a little different.

The Dirty Vocal is just Nelly's vocals. It feels like something is missing, especially with the absence of Timbaland. The same happens with the Promiscuous Dub. However, the Radio Mix has both Nelly and Timbaland on it, making this one very radio friendly, and club friendly so the clubkids will instantly recognize it from the radio and MTV.

The mixes all have the feel of Ralphi's Hot Freak mix of "Don't Cha" from last year. It's similar enough that one could tell Mr. Rosario worked on it. But that was a great mix too, so who is complaning? And almost all of Ralphi's productions and mixes that have come out after the PCD mix was released all sounded dramatically different frome each other.

Here's the tracklisting for the Geffen CD promo sent out:

01. Ralphi's Dirty Vocal 9:13
02. Ralphi's Promiscuous Dub 9:11
03. Ralphi Rosario Radio Mix 3:41

DJs can rejoice because remix service Ultimix has done a special mixshow length version that uses the Radio Mix, the Dirty Vocal and Promiscuous Dub. It does contain both Nelly and Timbaland's vocals, so this one is the way to go for those who dislike the non-Timbaland one.

Nick Lachey - What's Left Of Me (Remixes)

Nick is back with another solo album, and he is singing about his breakup with Jessica Simpson!

The first single "What's Left Of Me" fared quite well, and has also done well on dance radio with the help of some top notch remixes.

The first one is by The Passengerz. The edit of the mix starts in the same way as the original version. But then it becomes this stellar dance-rock track after that. It has the full vocals. The club mix is similar, but it has a nice intro.

The other one is by Jack D. Elliot. This one is much faster. It has the feel of a Euro Hi NRG song, but without the added cheese. An edit of this has only been made available on the promo. However, a club mix version was featured on the X-Mix Dance Series compilations for the DJs.

And finally, there is the Bermudez & Harris mixes. The edit of this has been given substantial airtime on Z100 in New York. However, these mixes have not been promoted to DJs. They have not been actually released. And these are actually quite good as well. They have a slight Summer-ish feel.

All in all, this track has some solid mixes for it. All three sets of mixes are worth a listen.

Kristine W. - The Boss

Dance diva Kristine W has been a major presence in the dance scene during the last decade. And she is about to take it up another notch.

Kristine has teamed up with legendary DJ/remixer/producer Junior Vasquez for a remake of the Diana Ross track "The Boss." When word about this production got out in mid-February, fans of Junior and Ms. W were buzzing about what it would be like.

After previously being slated to be premiered at Cielo back in February, it was delayed and was recently showcased during Pride and on Junior's weekly XM radio show.

Kristine does not disappoint in taking on this Diana Ross track. She executed it brilliantly. Her vocals shine on the track. In its main mix, the song is tribal and driving. The twisted synths and bassline are also a highlight. The track sounds nothing like what Junior did in his mix of "The Boss" for Diana (this is the second time he has mixed this song).

Look out for this one to dominate the dancefloors in the coming months.
