Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

This was the third single off of Nelly Furtado's critically and commercially acclaimed album Loose. Though this came out a long time ago, many mixes of this have been done, both official and unofficial. This mid-tempo ballad had been a frontrunner for being a single since the album was first released in the Summer of 2006. Many had been clamouring for remixes which came just in the nick of time. Just as it took off on Pop and Rhythmic formats, it got played on Dance stations in the original mix which clocked in at a danceable 123 BPM.

Bad Boy Bill, Friscia & Lamboy and Peter Rauhofer did the official mixes this time around.

Bad Boy Bill's mix was funky house and a bit electro. It did help bring out some of the emotion of the song. It's the most accessible of all the mixes.

Friscia & Lamboy have done a tribal/electro hybrid mix. It's a very simple electro mix. It's a good peak hour mix. This one would work best on Dance radio.

Peter Rauhofer has done three mixes!

Part 1 is a mild tribal/heavy electro mix. There lots of interesting synths and unusual synths. It works really well. Some may find it to be excruciating because of the "clashing" of the synths in some places. It's very unique. This is the big room mix of choice.

Part 2 is also known as the "Trance Anthem." It is a much darker mix. This has the feel of mixes done during Rauhofer's trance experimental phase in the late 90's when he did mixes for Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics and Ayumi Hamasaki. It's not as big room and trancey though as say something Tiesto or Above & Beyond would do. However, it is very uplifting and really brings out further beauty in Nelly's vocals. This is one of Peter's best mixes in a while. And this is the mix of choice for this song.

Part 3 is basically a toned down version of Part 1. It's much shorter and concise. It's not as "schizophrenic" with the "clashing" synths. It bears a striking resemblance to Trentmoller's remix of "What Else Is There" by Roysopp. Peter may have been influenced by that slightly as he has been playing that song for the last several months in his sets. This is really dark and twisted.

There's many unofficial mixes of this song as most DJs wanted to tailor this song for their own sets. Cajjmere Wray, Peter Bailey, Scott Ferguson & Michael Tank and even Junior Vasquez have done mixes.

Cajjmere Wray's mix is very dark and driving. The deep synths and chugging beats give this mix a lot of energy. Quite well done.

Peter Bailey continues in that same vein and his mix is very minimal and sparse. The beats are very simple as is the rest of the production. The real highlight is the rest of the mix. There's some cool synth work and vocal effects. This mix is a bit long, however, some creative DJs could cut it down a minute or two and go between the sparse and complex portions of the mix.

Scott Ferguson & Michael Tank have done a very energetic circuit mix. It's almost appropriate to call this a trance/circuit mix. The synths and driving beats are quite amazing on this one.

And finally there is the mix by Junior Vasquez. His is the newest one of them all. He premiered his new mix at the Onyx event at Pacha in NY this past weekend. It has yet to be heard by the general public. However, those who were in attendance said that the mix was one of the best Junior mixes of the year. There has been some talk of the mix seeing an official release in the future. No further details available at this time.

What remains to be seen is how many mixes will be done for the next single "All Good Things (Come To An End)."

Erasure - I Could Fall In Love With You

This is the comeback single from the Electronica/Rock duo. Culled from their upcoming back-to-their dance roots album is lead single "I Could Fall In Love With You." The original version is quite dancey and calls to mind some of their classics from the 80's. This is a light and airy dance/pop confection.

The real highlight is the Montverde remixes. The mixes are very Euro Hi-NRG lite. They have a very cool, Summer vibe about them. Andy Bell's vocals sound as fresh as they did 20 years ago. Simply smooth and stunning.

Offer Nissim - Forever Tel Aviv

Israeli DJ/remixer/producer has been all over the place these last couple of years whether it be when he is spinning at events, remixing or writing and producing with Maya Simantov. His latest continuous mix compilation will be getting a U.S. release on April 10, 2007 courtesy of NY-based label Star 69. This compilation was released in Israel earlier in the year amidst much fanfare. The compilation was well-received. Some fans outside of Israel went so far as to try to learn basic Hebrew so they could read the script on the Israel websites so they can place an order for the compilation! With a tracklisting like this, it's no surprise!

This compilation primarily features Offer's own mixes as well as some other tracks from Star 69. Many exclusives appear on here. Here's some descriptions of a few of them. He begins with a cool retro-sounding mix of Beyonce's take on "One Night Only" from Dreamgirls. This mix bears a slight resemblance to his mix of Abba's "S.O.S." from last year. "Be Alright" by Kristine W. is an original co-production that Offer has been playing out since last Summer. It has seen no commercial release until now. The unreleased mix of Donna Summer's cover of "Power Of Love" by Luther Vandross is particularly noteworthy. This compilation is worth purchasing for just that song alone. It is absolutely stunning. It is easily one of Offer's best mixes. Another exclusive is Offer's mix of "Hurt." It is quite dark and uplifting. This mix really brings out the emotion of the song that many of the other previously released mixes couldn't. The new track "For Your Love" gets its first commercial release on this collection. The CD maxi with remixes is also out on the same day. This new Maya-vocalled track is one of their best ones. Maya's soaring vocals accompanied by equally stunning synths makes for a great track. The piano breaks are so beautiful. The original plus remixes are available for purchase on Star 69's website. Alain Chamfort's overlooked classic "Manureva" is given the Offer treatment for this collection. It's a very unusual choice of song for remixing for the circuit scene, but it works so well. Another exclusive is the Mediterranean/tribal instrumental track "Beatzzz" by Yinon Yahel, who has worked extensively with Offer. This is a scorching track. Offer's rare mix of "Wish I Didn't Miss You" by Angie Stone is a lot of fun. The choice vocal loops and effects are totally mind-bending. This mix has been a favorite of legendary NY DJ Junior Vasquez for a couple of years now. This one deserves a proper commercial release. It's a nice blend of the underground and the commercial. Closing the compilation is Israeli rock star Ivri Lider's hauntingly beautiful cover of "Nights In White Satin" by the Moody Blues. It's the perfect way to end the compilation.

This is an essential compilation for fans of Offer and for those looking for something a little different. The mixing is sooo smooth that it's hard to tell where the songs start and end. It's nice though.

This is already available for purchase at the Star 69 website and at Perfect Beat. This will be widely available in music stores on April 10, 2007.

Sylvia Tosun - A Day Like Any Other

Rising star Sylvia Tosun is back with a new single from here album. "A Day Like Any Other" is a very simple folkpop kind of song that gets transformed for the clubs by Solar Sun, Jose Spinnin, Alyson Calagna and Twisted Dee. Twisted Dee's mix is the main mix.

Solar Sun's mix is very minimal and electro-sounding. It sounds like something Gabriel & Dresden would do. Sylvia's vocals just float beautifully over the bare production. Minimalism is sometime the best thing. This one is the most laid-back of the bunch.

Jose Spinnin's mix is a lot more anthemic and synthy. This one is perfect for peak hour play.

Alyson Calagna's mix is anthemic as well, however it is much harder and a lot more driving. This sounds like an afterhours type of track that would fit in well with Victor Calderone, Chus & Ceballos and Richie Santana records.

Twisted Dee's mix is very in-between and would lend itself well to house and circuit sets for all times of the day and night. This is the most accessible.

All mixes are currently available on Beatport, Juno and Hammer Music.

The following mixes are available at this time:
Solar Sun Vocal Mix
Jose Spinnin Wants You To Stay Mix
Alyson Calagna's Dreaming of Her Mix
Twisted Dee Original Mix

Måns Zelmerlöw - Cara Mia

Måns became a household name when he originally competed on Swedish Idol in 2005, finishing in 5th place.

Just in time for Melodifestavalen, he has a hot dance/pop single called "Cara Mia." Måns gives a great emotion-filled performance on this song. Totally amazing. PJ Harmony and Perra provide the remixes. PJ Harmony's Day and Nite mixes are exactly what they say they are. Both are simple electro-house. The Day one is a little more peak hour and the Nite one is better for later. Perra's mix is in the same vein as some of the hard stuff AATW's in-house mixers such as Friday Night Posse and Alex K do. It's nice though. Check this one out ASAP.

Forever Freestyle

Although only new releases are generally reviewed here, this is a new release of older classics. MusicSpace, the people that brought us such dance collections as Fired Up! and Pulse put forth this new collection called Forever Freestyle which contains various freestyle classics that have not been included on previous compilation series.

As expected, it's a collection of unmixed radio/single versions of some very carefully selected hits. This one includes 18 of them.

Here is the tracklisting:

01. Sweet Sensation - Sincerely Yours
02. Seduction - Two To Make It Right
03. Cover Girls - Show Me
04. Exposé - Point Of No Return
05. George LaMond - Bad Of The Heart
06. Lisette Melendez - Together Forever
07. Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam With Full Force - Can You Feel The Beat
08. Shannon - Let The Music Play
09. Linear - Sending All My Love
10. Company B - Fascinated
11. TKA - Maria
12. Cynthia & Johnny O - Dream Boy/Dream Girl
13. Stacey Q - Two Of Hearts
14. Nice & Wild - Diamond Girl
15. Exposé - Come Go With Me
16. Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam With Full Force - I Wonder If I Take You Home
17. Stevie B. - Spring Love
18. Rockell - In A Dream

This collection contains only a fraction of all the great songs that came out in what was the Freestyle era. The 18 songs that were chosen for this collection are quite good. All of these songs were pretty major hits and they span across most of the Freestyle era. No obscure album tracks or B-sides were chosen.

Some songs are in their original single or radio mix versions. A few were edited down from longer lengths for this collection. For some of them, it is very obvious that they were edited down, and for some it was not necessary as there's still almost 6 minutes on the CD that could have been filled with more music. Maybe even one more song. The sound quality of all the tracks is great.The only problems are with the last two tracks. With Stevie B.'s "Spring Love", it's not the same version that was played on the radio or the clubs. It's a whole other version. The vocals sound different and the instrumental production is different too. It seems that this one is from another collection, perhaps a greatest hits album where new vocals had to be recorded because of licensing and original rights issues. Then with Rockell's "In A Dream", it sounds like it came from a continuously mixed compilation. The beginning has remnants of another song. And the ending is faded instead of the cold ending in the original, possibly because another song was being mixed in at the end. Aside from those two obvious problems, the collection as a whole is so well done that the problems can be overlooked. It is worth noting that those are tucked in a the end. This is good for the casual listener or for the car.

The edition currently being sold in stores is a single disc compilation while the one sold on MusicSpace is 2 discs. It has additional songs, however, there's less songs per disc.

Randy Friess featuring VButterfly - Rotation (The Drums Are Alive)

Rising star Randy Friess is back with another club anthem that is sure to rock the dancefloor and elicit screams of joy!

The remixing talent on this one includes Alexander & Mark VDH, Klubjumpers, William Umana, Mor Avrahami, Therapy, Pleasure Center and last but not least, Guido Osorio. Guido's mix is to be released later on when the commercial and digital singles are shipped.

All the mixes are top notch and deliver various degrees of circuitness. A&M VDH's are a little lighter, KJ's is more peak hour, Umana's are good for afterhours, Avrahami's is a good set starter with that lovely synthy intro, Therapy and Pleasure Center's deviate a bit from the circuit sound and are more accessible for mixshow and house set play. Randy's warm vocals soar over this A&M VDH production. This one should be all over the place by Pride. Another winner from HMSP Music.

Ultra Naté - Automatic

Yes. This is a cover of the Pointer Sisters classic. This is just one of many remakes Tommy Boy Records has released in the last few months. This one is definitely worth listening to.

Ultra does a fine job of covering this song. There's a handful of mixes. But the Digital Dog Mix and Radio Mix are the ones to be listened to first. The Radio Mix is a nice electro-house track with a bit of an old-school, yet modern sound. The Digital Dog Mix is a lot more electro and harder. It basically could be considered the main club mix. Both are very true to the original while bringing a lot of freshness.

This one will soon be blowing up all over Dance radio and in the clubs so don't miss out on this gem.

Lenny B featuring Lyle - What Hurts The Most

This is the dance cover of the song Rascal Flatts made huge last year in the Country music scene. A rumored dance mix of the original never did actually surface, however, there had been much buzz that someone would remake this for the clubs and Dance radio. Sure enough, it's here.

This one comes courtesy of clubland legend Lenny Bertoldo with the vocal talent of Lyle. This cover is a stunning Euro-Dance track without all the cheesiness that some covers of this nature possess. It's very tasteful and gets better with each listen.

This one has just begun to gain momentum in clubland on Dance radio and in the clubs. A commercial release is to occur via iTunes and Beatport in the next few weeks. The edit and club mix have appeared on Promo Only and Ultimix DJ services respectively in the last month.

Ceevox - Music Is My Life

This song has been getting a lot of play from Junior Vasquez since last Fall. This finally got released a couple of weeks ago on the JVM label. This beautiful ode to music gets the remixing treatments by Junior Vasquez.

Ceevox's soulful vocal performance just soars over this amazing production in the Junior's Immaculate Mix. And immaculate it is. It's very classy, sophisticated and calls to mind some of the great house that came out in the 90's and early 2000's. There's a dub, instrumental, beats and a "keyapella" also. On it's own, the pella is just a joy to listen to.

This one really needs no other remixes as this one is the perfect blend of house and circuit and would work in both environments effortlessly. It's perfect. One of the best vocal releases from JVM in a while. Here's to hoping for some more gems like this.

All these mixes can be purchased at Beatport.

NSA featuring RuPaul - Computer Love

The search for love online is the subject of this campy new single fronted by RuPaul. The lyrics are relatively simple throwaway-ish. But this is worth a listen for a chuckle or two. This one is already a favorite of Junior Vasquez's. He has been playing this in his mixshow the last few weeks. Matt Piso's mix is the one he has been playing.

The CD promo comes with 4 mixes.

01. M@t!'s Lubed & Ready Mix (9:41)
02. Backroom Mix (7:21)
03. My Girlfriend's Out Of Town Mix (9:04)
04. No Recip Mix (8:49)

Matt Piso's M@t!'s Lubed & Ready Mix is quite housey and straightforward. It has that same sort of vibe that Fumi Kondoh brings in mixes that he engineers. The Backroom mix is much harder and darker. This one sounds good turned up loud late at night. The My Girlfriend's Out Of Town one is hard but a lot more electro. The No Recip mix is hard and electro too. There's some really interesting synth elements that are very "scary" sounding. It's cool though.

Overall, this one is good as a novelty track. This one lacks the timelessness that many other RuPaul tracks have had but it's still better than some of what is out there.

2-4 Grooves - The Way I Do

This is a cover of the Melissa Etheridge song from a few years ago. The original is a simple electro-dance pop track. There's a few mixes. For the U.S. release on Tommy Boy, Junior Vasquez has done a mix. His mix has a slight electro slant to it, channeling the original 2-4 Grooves track, however, it's got that deep bassline that Junior is known for having in his productions and tracks. His mix uses all the vocals and isn't repetitve. The Radio Mix is very short and concise. It's almost 4 minutes long, but it's a well-done 4 minute edit. The full mix is just a lovely extension of this. Alternate between the original and Junior mixes to keep it fresh. Look for this one in the next few weeks.

Diana Ross - Touch Me In The Morning (2007 Mixes)

The timing of the release of these mixes is impeccable! Diana Ross appeared on Fox's American Idol last week to give singing advice and coaching to the twelve hopefuls. And these new mixes of her classic "Touch Me In The Morning" help to reintroduce Ms. Ross to the masses. It hasn't been that long though. This song has stood the test of time and sounds fresh in its latest incarnation. UK-based Almighty provide the mixes this time round. They're reworkings of older classics can be hit or miss sometimes because it is often very difficult to recapture the "magic" that is in the originals in the new mixes. This time round, they have succeeded. The result is a stellar hi-nrg anthem. It is not over the top as one may expect it to be. It's very melodic and beautiful. The vocal mixes contain full vocals. Diana's original vocals sound so fresh that one would think that she had just recorded them yesterday. This is reportedly just the first of many other Diana Ross remixes that are in the works right now. There have been rumors going around about a full Almighty remix collection of Diana's classics. No confirmation yet, but if it happens, it will probably really awesome.

CD promo tracklisting:
01. 7'' Almighty Mix (5:59)
02. 12'' Almighty Mix (7:02)
03. Almighty Instrumental (7:01)

Christina Aguilera - Tell Me Misstereee

This is a mashup of Diddy (aka Sean Combs) and Christina Aguilera's "Tell Me" with Cajjmere Wray featuring Mina's "Misstereee" that has become a big deal during the last few weeks. Israeli DJ Offer Nissim has been playing this unusual creation at his last few gigs. This was just one of the many highlights of Offer's set during the closing party at Roxy in New York last week. Up and coming remixer/producer/DJ Ronen Mizrahi's remix of "Misstereee" was used as the instrumental for this unique track. It takes a short segment of Christina's "Tell Me" vocals and turns it into this cool dub. Vocal samples from the original Cajjmere track have been left in. It works quite well. A short sample of this mix can be heard here.

Beyoncé & Shakira - Beautiful Liar (Remixes)

This is the much-awaited collaboration between two of today's hottest pop stars. Beyoncé originally recorded this song alone last year during the B'Day sessions, however, it did not make the final cut. After some reconsidering, they decided on doing a duet with Shakira. The main version is a hybrid of R&B and the sultry pop-friendly Middle Eastern sounds Shakira has brought on her tracks. The original Beyoncé-only version had such a feel that Shakira would sound perfect on it, and now it's here. Beyoncé and Shakira take turns singing about their up-to-no-good man on this song. They sound so sexy together. The music video reflects this also.

Dance remixes by Freemasons and Maurice Joshua transform this R&B clubbanger for the other clubs.

Promo tracklisting:

01. Original Version (3:20)
02. Freemasons Radio Vox (3:29)
03. Freemasons Club Vox (10:06)
04. Freemasons Club Edit (7:33)
05. Freemasons Dub Vox (9:39)
06. Freemasons Dub Instrumental (9:39)
07. Maurice Joshua New Main (6:05)
08. Maurice Joshua New Instrumental (6:03)

Freemasons bring forth their usual sophisticated retro-chic house style. They move away from the Middle Eastern sound that was in the original. They do bring in some hot Latin elements including a Spanish guitar, castanets, and conga drums. A cheeky little vocal sample from that "Coolie Song" which had its instrumental sampled in countless songs in 2004 has a short vocal sample brought in during some of the vocal portions along with some Indian sitar samples. It's a nice mixture of sounds. The Club Vox mix is an epic mix clocking in at over 10 minutes. It's done in that classic "journey" style of the disco era. It just builds and builds, layer upon layer throughout the track. It's very beautiful. The Club Edit cuts the track down to size making it more manageable for mixshow and not-so-patient club DJs that may not be able to accommodate a mix of that length. The Dub Vox and Dub Instrumental mixes are quite enjoyable as well. These may work better later in the evening. The Radio Vox is a nice tight version of the song that preserves the feel of the longer version in under 4 minutes. Although, the full one is amazing enough that one may want to listen to that instead because it doesn't feel like it goes on forever.

Maurice Joshua delivers a set of soulful/lite Latin house mixes. The pianos, bassline and Latin instruments that come in during the second half of the track really make this mix memorable. The instrumental version is amazing on its own as well. This one differs greatly from what Maurice generally delivers.

Overall, all of these mixes are worth your time. Don't miss out on this massive new one.

The album version will be included on the upcoming re-release of Beyoncé's B'Day. Some of the Freemasons and Maurice Joshua mixes may become available on forthcoming CD singles in the UK and elsewhere.

Sunblock feat. Sandy - Baby Baby

This is the third single from the Swedish duo who topped the charts last year with "First Time" and "I'll Be Ready." Remaking Corona's mid 90's hit, Sunblock hopes to repeat history and top the charts again. The vocals are done by Sandy Chambers who originally recorded them for the Corona track.

For the release of the digital and commercial singles, there's already some mixes. Aside from the funky electro house radio edit and extended mixes, there's a little something for everyone. Ian Carey's mix has a lot of filtering effects and is much more electro than the original. This will be right at home with all those Fedde Le Grand and Soul Seekerz tracks out now. DJ DLG's mix is in a similar vein. It's a bit darker and more dubbish. The Audiophiles Remix is much housier than the original and looses some of the electro edge. Friday Night Posse's mix is very uplifting while it is aggressive. The vocals used are a bit different than the ones on the other mixes. It works better though. Frisco's mix is a breath of fresh air. It's not too hard and not too aggressive. This has soaring synths and keeps the feel-good vibe of the other mixes.

Overall, this one is a totally solid. This will be released in April as both a digital download and CD maxi.

Tracklisting:

01. Radio Edit (3:23)
02. Extended) (4:49)
03. Ian Carey Mix (6:18)
04. DJ DLG Remix (8:01)
05. Audiophiles Remix (8:03)
06. Friday Night Posse Remix (7:24)
07. Frisco Remix (5:47)

There are three music videos for this one. There's the main one, the X-rated on and the one with the guys in it.

Beyoncé - Listen (Remixes)

This song from both the Dreamgirls soundtack and Beyoncé's own album B'Day has gotten remix treatments.

Maurice Joshua, DJ Escape & Dom Capello, and Mike Cruz are the remixing talent.

Maurice's mix is a simple, garden variety house mix. It completely lacks the energy a song of this nature requires to make the listener truly feel the song. The other two mixers deliver the anthems.

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding DJ Escape & Dom Capello's mix since October of 2006 when it first became known that they had worked on it. It was definitely worth the wait. Their mix is a powerful club anthem that works particularly well. It's dark, but uplifting. It's exactly what was needed. There's both a radio and club mix. The radio version has been edited so well that one would get the same effect that the longer mix initiates. Rarely do radio mixes generate that particular feeling.

Mike Cruz's mix is a lot more housey. It bridges the gap between circuit house and more peak hour stuff. This one may take some getting used to as it's not the usual cookie cutter mix. It has some interesting twists and turns. They're a bit experimental, but they work quite well.

Overall, the last two are the ones to go with.

Pink - Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)

This overseas single from her 4th album I'm Not Dead finally gets some remixes. This one has been screaming to be released as a single and be remixed, and both wishes have been granted.

Digital Dog provide a club and radio edit that are just pure perfection. The Radio Edit contains full vocals while the Club mix has less vocals making it more of a dub. Pink's vocals sound really good over this house/disco-lite production. It's a shame no full vocal club mix was done.

Now if only Pink would do more songs that are this dancey in their main mixes.

Ciara - Like A Boy (Remixes)

This 3rd single from Ciara's sophomore effort Evolution gets the remixing treatment via her label in the UK. Soul Seekerz and Kardinal Beats provide the mixes.

Soul Seekerz provide a Radio, Club and Dub. Their mixes give the song the much-needed energy that was missing from the original version. These just work so well. This new production helps make Ciara sound much better.

Kardinal Beats provide a nice UK garage/borderline R&B/hip-hop mix that does what it's supposed to do.

It's all about the Soul Seekerz mixes this time

Magnus Carlsson - Live Forever

This former member of Swedish dance act Alcazar has been entering in Melodifestavalen pretty regularly for the last several years.

"Live Forever" is a simple Dance/Pop track in its main mix. With its infectious chorus, it would be quite difficult to this and not sing along. The familiar vocals are great as usual.

SoundFactory provides the remixes that take this one up a notch. They really complement the song and make it ready for the clubs, however, only an extended mix of the original was really needed. But these mixes are great.

Magnus also recorded this song in French and Spanish in an effort to get this song to appeal to non-English-speaking audiences, and appeal, it definitely will. There is also a Swedish version which will not be on this single.

The CD single for this will be released on March 9, 2007 in Sweden with the following tracklisting.

01. Live Forever (Original Version)
02. Siempre A Tú Lado {Spanish Version)
03. J'ai Vivrai (French Version)
04. Live Forever (SoundFactory Radio Mix)
05. Live Forever (SoundFactory Eternal Club Mix)
06. Live Forever (SoundFactory Damnation Dub Mix)

Lucas Prata & Kim Sozzi - Don't You Want Me

This Human League dance classic has been remade yet again. This time round, two of the biggest names in Dance radio do the honors.

Lucas and Kim deliver on this remake. Kim had previously covered this song for a special 80's remakes collection several years back. Her and Lucas go together perfectly. Lucas' previous pairing with Reina on "Love Of My Life" last year felt a bit clumsy, however this one was just right.

Lucas and Kim had performed this song together at several of those concerts that were held towards that later part of the year in 2006. There had been much buzz surrounding a possible release of this. There is presently no word on whether a release will actually occur.

This is currently up for streaming on Giueseppe D's MySpace.
