Sunshine Anderson - Force Of Nature

This is the 2nd single off of her recently released album Sunshine After Midnight. While her songs have not taken off on radio, her label is opting to promote her in the clubs where she has had success.

DJ Escape & Johnny Vicious take the slow and seductive original and rewerk it for the clubs. They keep all vocals this time around. The mix is not as dark as some of their recent offerings, however, this one is very in-between and will fit in with a variety of sets. The twisted synth loop and some of the pianos under the verses bear resemblance to Gabriel & Dresden's remix of "Save My Soul" by Kristine W. Intentional or not, it works very well.

Jacinta - Can't Keep It A Secret

This is the followup to the new club diva on the block's followup to "Destination." A great lineup of A-list mixers tailor this song for multiple environments.

Jacinta's vocals are pure perfection here. She does not disappoint at all. The lyrics on this song are top-notch as well.

Tony Moran & Warren Rigg's mix is basically the main version of the song. It is the usual excellent circuit mix that they are known for delivering. This one will work well both in the clubs and on radio.

The mix by Escape & Johnny Vicious goes much darker and anthemic and really makes this a hands in the air song.

Georgie Porgie opts for a more subdued house take on the song.

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.
