For Cassie's "Me & U", Tyler Nelson's mixes are a basically slighty dark anthemic vocal mixes. His mixes were previously uncomissioned, however, the mixes were well-loved and many suggested that the mixes be submitted, and well the rest as they say is history. The Roc & Soul Mix is much housier.

The Diddy and Nicole Scherzinger track gets housey treatments all around. E-Smoove's is a whole mixture of sounds. It's electro, it's soulful house, it's circuit and it's a little trancey in some places. A lovely mix. ATFC's is a nice funky house mix.

Diddy's new girl group Danity Kane gets some hot mixes for "Showstopper." Dave Aude delivers his usual best with an anthemic, yet electro-housey mix. Ford & Vidal opt for a trancey-electro sound. And Solitaire's mix is a nice laidback, but funky house mix.

Closing out this set is Cassie's "Long Way To Go". Maurice Joshua brings forth a simple house mix that borders on circuit enough to be a bridge record. Matteo Esse & Sant provide a nice heavy electro mix. And Friscia & Lamboy provide a nice tribal, peak hour track. A dub of this mix would work well in a variety of sets.

These mixes really were worth waiting for.
