Ron Perkov - Live Luv Dance

No stranger to the circuit scene is Ron Perkov who has been recording for over a decade now. While he has only had a handful of songs over the years, the few he has had made a lasting impression. And this new one is no different.

This hands-in-the-air, sing along, feelgood club anthem will be packing floors for months to come and could easily be this years Pride-defining song.

Tony Moran's main mix of this packs the most punch. It features soaring synths and fierce tribal beats. Ron's smooth vocals take center stage after the incredible build. The chorus is so simple and catchy that it would not be unusual for clubbers to be singing along and knowing all the words after just a few minutes.

There's additional mixes by Dave Pezza, Ray Roc, Peter Presta, Valentin and RadioKillaz. The mixes can be purchased from here: http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/electro/track/308696.html.

With the proper edit, Tony's mix could also work well on Dance radio.

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.

Jennifer Lopez - Que Hiciste (Remixes)

It was rumored several months ago when the original and Reggaeton mixes of this song were reviewed that Tony Moran might be remixing this song, and it has finally happened! Tony has given this song the hard, tribal anthem that this one was meant to become. He takes the powerful original to the next level. He preserves some of the original elements and sounds to maintain some familiarity. The Spanish guitars in the original are here, but they are a little darker. It works well. And a nice hard bass and synth loop make this even more powerful. Jennifer's vocals take center stage on this production and sound even better. Both the club and dub clock in at over 10 minutes long. Both versions a nice deep tribal journey. The dub preserves the structure of the vocal mix but with less vocals. The dub may work better in most circuit environments. Overall, these are great.

Tony Moran featuring Kristine W. - Walk Away

This one has finally seen an official release after having been debuted in the form of a live performance at a Pride celebration last year.

So far, the mixes are by Tony Moran with Warren Rigg, and on one of them, Dave Saronson is co-collaborator.

The tracklisting of the CD promo.

01. Tony Moran & Warren Rigg & Dave Saronson Mix (8:44)
02. Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Evolution Mix (9:04)
03. Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Evolution Mixshow Edit (7:21)
04. Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Padapella (8:45)

Overall, this one is not too different from the original demo version that had been making the rounds for several months now. That one was not as big room as this one is. It also lacked the soul that these new ones have. The vocals sound properly mastered now. Kristine sounds amazing as usual. It's nice to have her back after all these months.

The Moran, Rigg & Saronson mix is a deeper and darker than the other Moran & Rigg mixes. It's a little more synthier too. It's not extremely different from the other mixes. Moran & Rigg's Evolution mixes are a little more peak hour. They're the usual circuit goodness that Moran & Rigg are known for. The mixshow edit is a nice tight version of the main mix. It could have been just a few seconds shorter.

And for all those remixers and DJs, a padapella has been included. It's really well done. On it's own, it sounds just great. It's going to be hard to improve upon this already great track.

A radio edit of the main mix is also available, but not on this specific promo. This track is ready for radio already. No additional mixes are really nedded as these will

This is a must-have for Kristine W./Tony Moran & Warren Rigg fans. For casual fans, this is still worth a listen. Look for this one to be burning up the Billboard Dance/Club Play charts in the coming weeks.

Tony Moran - Something About You

This was recorded over a year ago with lead vocals by none other than Tony Moran himself. Yes, he sings. He had done a few songs during the Freestyle era, as well as a cover with Nicki Richards of "High" by Lighthouse Family and most recently a cover of When In Rome's "The Promise."

Offer Nissim had originally charted this in his top 10 as early as April of last year. He has done multiple dubbish style mixes which feature only a handful of vocals. Jody den Broeder did a slightly more circuit/electro mix which is full vocal, and of course there's Tony's own Circuit Mix which is full vocal as well.

Tony's dazzling, warm vocals just float beautifully atop the productions. He sounds totally amazing. He needs to sing more often because he just sounds so good. As of now, no release has been planned for the song as a single. Until then, Tony's mix can be heard on Brett Henrichsen's current CD for Masterbeat.
