Review #2,069: Promo Only "Dance Radio November 2025"

Reviewed on 10.12.2025 (Review #2,069)
 
 
Promo Only Dance Radio November 2025
iz here! Though I thought I’d be way more excited for this review, unfortunately, I got my heart broken by McClain, again!! Last month, I reviewed tha October edition of Dance Radio & verified how AWESOME my October was gonna be, with McClain comin’ up ta finish my upcomin’ album. However, not only did he miss his flight ‘cause of a car breakin’ down tha night b4, but I rebooked tha ticket for tha following day & he missed it again!!! Instantly broke my heart & we didn’t have too great of an anniversary of celebratin’ our U-Haul crash. Sounds like somebody’s tryna hide away or somethin’? Well, with tha way I expect this review ta have bangerz, it makes me anticipate tha rest of this month & tha following month more. I’m in tha process of gettin’ some1 else from McClain’s area ta finish my album off, so hopefully, we can restore life ‘cause dance music today’s way too awesome to be sad!! Frfr! With that bein’ said, lemme get on ta this review, b4 I go back to my full-tyme…! Start Tyme: 8:44 PM | End Tyme: 10:03 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…
 
© 2025 Review (Review #2,069) reviewed on 10.12.2025 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. SIDEPIECE feat. Darla Jade “Cry For You”
Label: Lip Service
Could it be…? Startin’ off tha November 2025 edition with tha same song that started off tha April 2007 edition of Dance Radio (September “Cry For You”, tho this tha 2025 version)… Not really a fan of tracks that remake other dance tracks, despite this bein’ faster than tha 130 BPM original, by two BPM… *Rehears* Ironic title that goes with how McClain makes me feel—or should I say, “Tha world”! Just hearin’ tha music & tha chorus really makes me think of such a guilty pleasure. It’s pathetic how I was tryna make friends with a Darnell, at my 1st college, durin’ those ’07 tymes. Now, it’s progressin’ a so-called friendship with McClain, like I was still 18 from tha original “Cry For You”, smh! Seems like an okay drop, tho not much goin’ on with tha music… Thought it was more euphoric? *Looks up vocalist…* Had ta look up tha vocalist, after ACRAZE remade Rockell’s “In A Dream” with Aviella, startin’ off tha August 2023 edition… Cool that it’s Darla Jade, tho not too-too much of a strong remake like “In A Dream”. I’ll just consider it as a random bonus track, but okay attempt… My Current Rating: 3.5
 
 
02. Cloonee feat. Robin S “Not Gonna Be Your Boo”
Label: Columbia
Ehh… Anotha one on tha cheesy-soundin’ remake style for me, here… Good attempt, again, at tha 132 BPM-paced tempo, but not a remake it’d go crazy-crazy for… My Current Rating: 3.2
 
 
03. GT_Ofice x Martial Simon x Matthew Topper “Two Hands”
Label: Caine
As tha first two tracks started off as remakes, who none other than GT to come through with tha first new-new song fa me, that I neva heard b4…! Hope it’s a banger!! >>> Sounds like it’s in tha happy/uplifting spirit, based off tha beginning music…! Definitely excited that it’s a female, here…! Wonder who she iz? Sounds a lil’ familiar & awesome, at tha same tyme! Definitely feelin’ tha energy & upliftingness on tha chorus!! Definitely nice ta hear this one!! Hope it gets tha respect it deserves & if everything gets betta fa my life, it’ll have an awesome future with me! It’s just, my life iz like a roulette wheel, right nah! Definitely sounds nice, throughout tha two verses & tha energy this one brings to tha table! Makes me trust these vibes ta get me through all tha dark, empty, false vibes encounterin’ me, lately!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
04. MK & Clementine Douglas “Come Find Me”
Label: Ultra
Got ta see this on tha POOL Player & it spread its name around, recently… I think this a collab in gold, like how I thought my previous collabz were ‘posed ta feel, in real life… Just sounds like a good/okay house vibe ta progress through this future of mine… Like how Clementine says, “I’m a little loud in tha night,” as if it’s easy to “find” her… Just like tha 1st verse, Clementine comes through with that vocal-capturin’ vibe for tha dance/househeadz, here… My Current Rating: 3.9
 
 
05. Madison Beer “yes baby”
Label: Sing It Loud!/Epic
Got ta see this one, recently… Luv tha big, fast sound from her, here! Too bad life should feel & seem betta, though it currently ain’t! Definitely feelin’ her addictive chorus that follows her addictive vocals, on tha 1st verse…! Definitely feel how she continuously says tha title, throughout tha chorus & how all tha fastness hits!! Luv how she knows how to create such a huge sound fa a youngin in tha game!! Undefeatable addictiveness, here!! Even down ta singin’ tha 2nd verse, soundin’ awesome with how she grasps people on!! My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
06. BUNT., The Chainsmokers & Izzy Bizu “Spaces”
Label: Arista
Whoo!!! Currently, my #1 on my latest playlist, but too bad it couldn’t bring McClain to PA! Now, it’s tyme fa anotha chance, as this tops this review! It’ll be tha review-topper that’ll make my special guest come to PA to finish my upcomin’ album! With that bein’ said, got ta hear this one last month, while spendin’ one day at Mount Rushmore… Have ta say, definitely real huge, especially Track 6 of 21 (my birthday #’s), to be extremely addictive & an awesome way ta really grasp on to me!! Definitely feelin’ how all three of them collaborated & how Izzy comes through with supa-soundin’ catchiness, throughout her lyrics & vocals!! Also, shout-out to TC for their backin’ vocals & how all three of this trio decided ta bring tha reign!! Definitely a huge way ta alwayz go to tha casino six tymes a week for freeplay, as well as tha walkin’ around fa exercise, constantly playin’ these trax & tryna betta tha situation I’m currently in, with my music project… It’s a tyme-healin’ process, but I know, especially with these songs, that life gon get betta fa me. Tha huge vibes!! Tha fast vibes!! Tha anthemic vibes!! Those are tha vibes that are definitely makin’ me continue ta believe huge, as far as tha future goes! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
07. Cash Cash x ROZES “Up So High”
Label: Ultra
As tha huge collabz keep comin’, of course, here’s anotha one, that I just heard on tha POOL Player… Awesome—definitely awesome ta hear ROZES back on her shit! Heard she beat Stage 3 breast cancer! Ouch! Momz beat Stage 2, not that long ago! With that bein’ said, I really feel her lyrics ta heart, here, especially with tha “it’s tha bitter truth.” That’s so McClain’s after effects of tha vibes we expect in life!! Awesome-soundin’ slap-house, I’d say, here… It takes special people on tha track ta make a nice, 124 BPM-paced slap-house track ta stand out. “Now, it’s 2:00 AM; my eyez are bloodshot-red.” Such a feelin’, in order ta counteract err-thang! Last tyme I heard ROZES on a track was right before I got smacked 2x in tha face, so I know how tha post-trauma now feels! It’s literally “tha life I didn’t choose,” just like her quote! Sad ta hear her get Stage 3 breast cancer & sad ta hear me get smacked 2x in tha face & more… Everything’s so “bitter,” these dayz! “It’s tha bitter truth; reminded me that no one sticks around.” Oh, that line!! It’s so “bitter” & true, especially with this whole McClain thing, I can’t tell you how much it hurts, mentally!! It almost feels like I don’t have a purpose in tha world. It’s…, ugh! Anywayz, definitely awesome with these meaningful lyrics, awesome music & vocals ta combine for an awesome collab, followin’ their 2017 “Matches” one!! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
08. Elephante & x.o.anne “Dreaming Season”
Label: Zoo/Hidden Horizon
Awesome ta see these two collab…! Can’t wait ta hear this one…! >>> Sounds like it’s a cool lil’ slower track, at 122, here… Cool way this has that upliftin’ power to it! Definitely what’s up, between tha awesome-soundin’ 1st verse, chorus & drop!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty intense hearin’ about tryna “walk down them straight lines.” It’s alwayz like a path becomes a labyrinth, dividin’ in to many paths! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
09. oskar med k & Khalid “nobody (make me feel)”
Label: Right Hand/RCA
A slight 360 from oskar med’s previous edition’s version of tha original of this… Now, with Khalid & it sounds a lil’ more alive, I guess? Likin’ tha Khalid vocalizin’, b4 that 1st verse kicks in… Sounds like a good lil’ verse & then, that chorus sounds like it’s a lil’ more mainstream, I guess? Sounds like I liked tha chorus as just an original version, instead? Tha bridge sounds okay; not too-too bad of an updated version of this track… My Current Rating: 3.9
 
 
10. J. Worra feat. Lena Leon “5 6 7 Ate”
Label: Major
This one’s got its name out there, as of recent… Not too-too sure how much I’ll go fa this one. Just seems like a random house vibe, despite tha title’s two different types of words (numbers & a past-tense verb) comin’ in to catch me… My Current Rating: 3.3
 
 
½tyme: Seems like a dope edition, so far…! I get too excited when tha music’s way more upliftin’ than how life iz, currently! Those huge vibes are so important ta inspire tha best of life, these dayz!! Definitely need it, as far as my 37-year-old self-esteem goes! Let’s keep it goin’! Current Average Rating: 4.2!
 
 
11. Netsky feat. Bebe Rexha “Light That Leads Me”
Label: Helix
Been seein’ this one get its name out there, recently… Definitely feelin’ this collab, as Rexha goes all tha way for this sound of Netsky…! Luv when John Summit & Sub Focus did it with Julia Church on “Go Back”, where tha sound started off dance & ended in dnb!! Definitely awesome ta hear tha regular-paced dance vibe, throughout tha beginning & then, at 1:20, tha build-up starts hittin’ tha world with its upcomin’ fastness! Definitely nice, between these two collaboratin’! Cool-soundin’ 2nd verse with Rexha on her dnb-type shit, here! Gotta luv how err-body be bringin’ tha energy to tha 2020’s! It’s what keeps me alive, to tha fullest!! My Current Rating: 4.5
 
 
12. Shermanology x Green Velvet “Hotter”
Label: Nervous
It’s a surprise to see Nervous, once again! It’s a surprise to see Shermanology on a Dance Radio, once again!! Though I’ve been knowin’ this one globally, from Diplo’s Revolution, I have ta say, this a nice appearance, here! Definitely awesome beats from tha two of them collabbin’, includin’ Shermanology’s “energy; kilowatt” & vibes! “Feel like I won tha lotto!” All this, right here!! “When I look atchu, I’ve hit tha jackpot!” Definitely dope, in all tha wayz I like it! Awesome music, consistently stayin’ alive, for tha most part! Definitely unstoppable, between tha two of them, here!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
13. Mathame “Koko”
Label: Spinnin’
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this new one, courtesy of Spinnin’ & 132 BPM!! >>> Sounds like a silly-vocal house vibe, based off how I hear tha vocals in tha beginning? Definitely likin’ tha fast music, but, lol, this chorus sounds like a rap-in-tha-trap song! Definitely a dope combo, between tha 132 BPM & that! Definitely somethin’ you don’t hear every day, especially tha dopeness of tha drop/music, too!! Tha rest of this hittin’ nice, too! Definitely awesome ta think of this ducked-off vibe, in a way!

14. Joel Corry & Abi Flynn “Phases”
Label: Atlantic UK
Looks like an excitin’ one…! Can’t wait ta hear tha power of this collab!! >>> Definitely sounds nice with tha music start, here! Definitely nice with Abi on tha 1st verse, here! Likin’ tha pre-chorus, too! Sounds like somethin’ that’s anticipatin’ somethin’ awesome/music it’s samplin’?! Tha chorus sounds cool; tha “Phases” theme literally reminds me of what I’m still goin’ through in life, as a 37-year-old… Well, me bein’ blocked means that they “set me free,” Abi! How ‘bout that one, lol/*sigh*? Yea, it definitely “cuts so real.” Like, McClain’s hurt iz so mentally & chemically effective, it fucks me up so bad!! Really, it’s a lot to deal with, underlyingly! With that bein’ said, tha 2nd chorus/drop hit pretty nice, this tyme! Definitely awesome ta hear these two!! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
15. Audien x MAKJ feat. Julia Church “Slide Away”
Label: Armada
Luv that err-body keeps puttin’ new tracks out & neva stops tha grind!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ start, but didn’t expect Julia’s vocals to be pitched up, here… We’ll see what I think of this one, but I seem happy with my 1st listen, so far… Sounds like a chorus & build-up that sounds nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha drop & it’s cool; definitely feelin’ tha faster Audien…! Tha 2nd verse sounds okay to progress this track, as well… Nothin’ much else ta say about it, but nice collab, in tha end. My Rating: 4.1
 
 
16. PLS&TY & Nu-La “Carry The Light”
Label: Dim Mak
Saw this one get out there, but couldn’t find it to get a sample ta hear… Now, it’s here & here I go ta hear… >>> Sounds like a quiet-but-anticipatin’ start, based off this collab… Sounds nice ta hear Nu-La, though I neva know what to anticipate… In tha end, I guess her collabz “Carry The Light” to tha next dimension of life? Definitely diggin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha chorus, tho; definitely what’s up! Tha 2nd verse sounds good ta hear, as well… We’ll see how this one’ll get out there, just like how PLS&TY recently had us “Leave The Light On”, on my final dayz of bein’ able ta listen ta Music Choice Dance (I ended cable service)… My Rating: 4.0
 
 
17. DIEGO SAN DIEGO x Alec Monopoly “Tequila”
Label: Armada
What do we have, here…? Spanglish? >>> Luvin’ that beginning with these 130 BPM-paced beatz with tha “he sips a Coca-Cola…” line repeatin’! Literally, it reminded me of an answer track ta CamelPhat & Elderbrook’s “Cola”, lol… Cool lil’ title part, with wantin’ that “Tequila,” I guess? At 01:07, it sounds like music sampled from a throwback dance track… Tha rest of this progresses through nicely, just wantin’ that “Tequila” & analyzin’ that “Cola,” lol… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
18. CYRIL & Kelland feat. Nate Dogg “I Got Love”
Label: Spinnin’
Saw this on tha POOL Player & with these faster, 132 BPM-type tymes sound appreciated, it’s just, I can’t fuck with tha same-vocal remakes… >>> Good 132 BPM-paced music, but coulda been betta with remade/new vocals, rather than tha old ones of Nate Dogg. Even tho it’s cool ta see Nate Dogg in tha dance world again, I just can’t fuck wit these same-vocal remakes… Music continues ta be okay, as far as tha drop goes… Other than that, ehh, this one can go on its way! My Rating: 2.7
 
 
19. Vonce “Sofia (Clairo Remix)”
Label: broke
Looks like somethin’ anticipatin’, based off tha broke label I heard from tha POOL Player…! >>> Yes, definitely on a supa-catchy tip, between tha melody & tha female vocals, here!! Definitely feelin’ Clairo with tha remix, too! Sounds like somethin’ ta appreciate ta listen to, after goin’ through heartbreak…! Fa me, that’s McClain! Tha 2nd verse sounds cool, too; definitely nice, here! Makes me really wanna appreciate what I got in store fa tha future & use tha hurt from tha past ta bring betta upliftin’ moments fa me! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
20. Katrina Woolverton & Ethan Capps “Are You”
Label: Red Red
Definitely awesome ta hear Katrina on anotha PO! It’s been a long journey & with this new track, I luv how she’s goin’ with tha 136 BPM-type fastness, here! Tha way she comes through with it on tha 1st verse & with EC sounds nice ta hear, here…! Definitely what’s up with how she vocalizes tha pre-chorus & then, tha drop hits! Tha chorus comes through; she owns it! Definitely a huge moment ta hear here & these big/fast-type vibes, in tha world of today!! Cool 2nd verse, as she continues ta own tha fastness of tha dance world, here! Hearin’ tha bridge, too & it’s great ta alwayz hear her! See, this what McClain don’t understand: When Katrina was just Katrina, on tha August 2011 edition of Dance Radio, she had “OPP (Other People’s Money)”. Right as that was in rotation wit me, an artist borrowed money from me fa a plane ticket, on November 17, 2011 & they neva boarded tha flight! It took them till October 7, 2018 ta pay me back, though I still lost $55.00 with them. Now, with this Katrina track on this Dance Radio, here we go again with tha plane tickets, let alone, two consecutive dayz of plane tickets! *Sigh* My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
21. ILLENIUM feat. Tom Grennan & Alna “Forever”
Label: Republic
Saw this one get out there & from a quick listen, it sounds like ILLENIUM’s older, slower style… >>> Sounds like a good vocalist with this Alna chick, on tha 1st verse… Tha music sounds like that old ILLENIUM style we embraced, durin’ years ago… Hearin’ tha chorus & it sounds like a good, potential anthem. Not too sure how I’ll appreciate it, but it’s a decent review, ta say tha least. Hearin’ tha drop & yea, that’s tha ILLENIUM style we’ve known him for. I have ta admit, I like tha dance/faster-soundin’ ILLENIUM drops/music a lot betta than this slow, 75 BPM-type shit. Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad; not much ta really say, except it’s good when Alna sings anotha verse. My Rating: 3.1
 
 
Overall: Thought this was an awesome edition, tho too bad life ain’t up ta par, like tha music comin’ out of these dayz! Tha dance world really owns life & it’s unfortunate when I can’t find tha right moments ta make it equalize tha music out! Maybe, sooner or later! I gon keep believin’, but this shit’s pretty depressin’, at tymes… Tymes’ll get betta! Can’t wait fa tha December 2025 edition, as I should be in betta spirits by then!

Review #2,068: Promo Only "Dance Radio October 2025"

Reviewed on 9.10.2025 (Review #2,068)
 
 
Wazzam?! I’m hyped up fa this upcomin’ Promo Only Dance Radio October 2025 review, right about nah!! Looked at tha tracklist & it looks like there’s a lotta dope songs on here, that I know of, from premierin’!! I just came back from visitin’ Mount Rushmore, fa tha 2nd tyme & it was such a euphoric, valuable experience!! A bunch of these songs reflect that memory of goin’ there & celebratin’ success! So, with that bein’ said, tyme fa me ta get in ta my Dance Radio October 2025 mode!! Start Tyme: 5:04 PM | End Tyme: 6:49 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…
 
© 2025 Review (Review #2,068) reviewed on 9.10.2025 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. Calvin Harris x Jessie Reyez “Ocean”
Label: Columbia
No matter tha downs that get in tha way of my ups, ya heard me? I just know that bein’ able ta kick off a Dance Radio edition with somethin’ at 136 BPM & Calvin Harris, no less, says a lot about how special a part of this world really iz! An honor ta 1st hear this at Mount Rushmore (Keystone, SD), this past Saturday & it definitely sounds like an awesome, faster follow-up to tha similar-soundin’ “Blessings”! Also, didn’t realize Jessie had only been on Dance Radio once, back on tha April 2020 edition (“Love In The Dark”). Now, her 2nd appearance iz here & as far as tha track goes, definitely an awesome, euphoric-type of sound! Gotta luv that it’s faster than “Blessings”! Jessie sounds like some1 who came out later in her “Love In The Dark” year… Tate McRae. That’s who I almost think it iz, when this comes on… Soundin’ sweeter than her previous half-decade tymes, on tha vocals & definitely what’s up with this 1st verse & chorus!! Tha drop, too!! Definitely luv tha fastness & hope it’s a big one! However, Mount Rushmore/Rapid City, SD, not your “Ocean”, at night! Only 36 degrees, while stranded at tha airport, fa 10 hours! Then, came this song & saved tha day!! Definitely feelin’ how Jessie keeps tha 2nd verse goin’ with tha fastness of Calvin, here…! Can’t deny tha combo they bring to tha table!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
02. James Hype & Bobby Harvey feat. Sam Harper “Waterfalls”
Label: Island/Republic
Speakin’ of tha devil, talk about tha power of “Ocean” to “Waterfalls” & these water-based tracks, lol! Was listenin’ to it a bunch of tymes, while at Mount Rushmore, includin’ eatin’ food & I would just look tha monument in tha eyez, while sittin’, though! Too hard, sometymes, while on tha edges, outside! Only a month has gone by & this track has been with me from Louisiana, ta Florida, ta Mount Rushmore & more! With that bein’ said, definitely feelin’ James’ hype, as far as applyin’ fastness goes! An awesome-needed trio, especially for tha voice of Sam Harper, who was also (secretly) on Dance Radio March 2021, kickin’ it off, “Friday” style, with Riton x Nightcrawlers, Mufasa & Hypeman! “Get in that zone,” fa’real!! Definitely appreciate how she comes through, with her vocals, as well as tha continuous fast music!! Can’t believe this only 120 seconds long—literally! It shoves a hell of a lot, in such a short amount of tyme! Just picturin’ those four Presidents just starin’ at Mount Rushmore, while not a cloud in tha sky!! That’s tha type of vibe I get when I hear somethin’ like this! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
03. Sammy Virji, Chris Lake & RoRo “925”
Label: Interscope/Capitol
Oh boy!! No wonder, I can feel myself continuously pullin’ through this review, slowly but surely!! Definitely gave a run fa my adventurous, euphoric, energetic tymes of bein’ in tha Floridian state, last month/this month! Definitely luv how Sammy now on tha 1st artist of tha ID & Chris tha 2nd, in reverse to their “Summertime Blues” tymes of last year! That’s tha power of Sammy!! Alwayz soundin’ tha best—my FAVORITE, as far as tha dance world goes, right nah!! Definitely what’s up & such an awesome tyme, while seein’ him in Queens, NY, almost three months ago, at tha Forest Hills Stadium:
 

 
Ain’t nothin’ more euphoric than that!! With that bein’ said, with this track, I alwayz love Sammy’s energy, as well as how Chris makes sure it’s on its house tip & its house shit, in tha best way possible!! Also, tha girl Roro, who was introduced ta me through Hannah Laing’s song, “Good Love”, from two years ago, sounds catchy, with her chorus-only contribution! Tha way tha two of them mixed & put this together made RoRo stand out, in wayz I try ta produce. However, I’m combatin’ a pigeonholed stereotype with my upcomin’ music, right nah… My collaboration artist think it’s anotha requirement fa tha artist, when their “voice iz altered from tha original recording.” It’s like, I explained that I’ve been doin’ drops that you’ve loved fa four years! I don’t get it… With that bein’ said, “Clockin’ overtyme” & how she rhymes tha words togetha’s definitely a catchy one ta alwayz rememba! Now, trips to tha casino fa freeplay are back, so anotha environment fa me ta get down ta dis “925”, which iz pronounced “9-2-5,” not “9-25”! I originally thought “9-25,” lol! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
04. oskar med k “Make Me Feel”
Label: 7CULT
This one, I saw, on Diplo’s Revolution… Interestin’-soundin’ vibe, though it makes you think it’s on an R&B/dance vibe, with these male vocals… I guess this dude got lucky with this one? Sounds like a random-type of house track ta break through? Cool lil’ slower house vibe, though a track that would prolly remain a grower-type of track fa me? My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
05. Sonny Wern & R2 “Echoes”
Label: Robbins
A new track I discovered, courtesy of tha POOL Player & as fast of 140 BPM as it iz, I knew it had to make this edition ‘cause of its Robbins-signedness! I looked at tha vocalist on Instagram & they look like they about half my age, at least! Pretty crazy ta say dat, courtesy of all tha years I’ve been around & alwayz remain a youngin! This generation ain’t got shit on me, but when it comes ta great tracks like these, I can definitely appreciate tha fastness!! It’s tha quality of mine that’s alwayz my favorite!! Shout-Out to tha fastness of today!! Definitely awesome with tha 1st verse, comin’ through with those awesome vocals!! Also, tha chorus & drop!! What a huge vibe!!! Definitely tha perfect-type of vibe of today!! Definitely feelin’ tha 2nd verse & tha rest of this, too, as tha awesomeness continues ta hit hard af!!! Personally, I feel like this should have a ***PERFECT RATING***, imo! It has everything in only 125 seconds that you need!! Major props on all tha energy & euphoricness!! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
06. TELYKAST & Oaks “Super Powers”
Label: Armada
As I look back at tha tymes of last year, it seemed like an awesome October 2024 edition, with all tha fastness! However, I woulda neva imagined ta deal with tha whole U-Haul thing, bein’ manipulated, bein’ manipulatively drugged up & I’ll neva understand tha concrete details, as there was only one witness, on tha scene! Those events occurred from tha start of October 5th & crashed October 6th. Seein’ October & each track # seems to eerily correspond with tha fateful dates of last year… However, with such a ***PERFECT RATING*** “Echoes” to be this year’s October, 5th track, on this edition, leads to this, October 6th track, on this edition! Imo & in my heart, I feel like I deserve to alwayz lead with tha “Super Powers” I know of, today!! “Autistic success,” I’d say!! With that bein’ said, definitely feelin’ TELYKAST’s euphoric, undeniable energy with Oaks, here!! Definitely true, when it comes ta what you’re tryna lead with, these dayz! I got tha golden key ta success, these dayz, but I be secluded about it. Definitely an awesome chorus, courtesy of TELYKAST & Oaks, as well as tha TELY boyz comin’ through with tha drop! Tha 2nd verse pretty nice ta follow up tha 1st verse, too, courtesy of undeniable energy & awesomeness!! See, you’d neva expect an October, 6th track ta be so special-soundin’, an upcomin’ October 6th as tha 1st anniversary of tha U-Haul accident! It’s alwayz, in my heart, these types of tracks, reviewz, editions & all that that defines my success/energies of today! Only absorb & extract tha 100.00% positiveness!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
07. Martin Jensen & LAWRENT feat. SACHA “Follow Me”
Label: Spinnin’
Got an awesome one comin’ up, once again, ya heard me?! Luv how it came up on my shuffle on my iPod, while enterin’ Mount Rushmore & just encounterin’ tha monument, eye-2-eye!! Luv tha beginnin’ with SACHA’s strength, as far as her hot vocals!! Definitely nice, when it comes to tha 1st verse & how tha other two on tha track definitely turn up tha beatz!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ chorus from SACHA, just like her “HIGHER” collab with Nathan Dawe x Joel Corry!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ chorus, transitionin’ to tha 2nd verse!! Definitely what’s up, in all of tha best-soundin’ wayz!! Definitely what’s up, as well, with how SACHA’s been mainly on huge-soundin’ tracks!! Even tha hidden voice behind tha Mike Williams x YouNotUs “1975” track, from earlier on tha January 2025 edition! Definitely major props with all their energies combined!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
08. Loud Luxury & Natalie Jane “Uh Oh!”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Neva got ta hear this one—1st new-new one fa me, here! Can they keep up with tha non-stop awesomeness that’s goin’ on?! Hmm… >>> Sounds like a female that seems like a dance-popper, here… So far, a decent-soundin’ 1st verse, with some good energy… Might have ta be one ta get more used to? Tha chorus okay. Might have ta get used ta it? An okay 2nd verse, too, with not much else ta say… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
09. Don Diablo “Little Lies”
Label: Major/Warner
Got a peek at this, recently… >>> Ehh, I’d avoid these donut-servin’ tymes of pressure, while randomly flashin’ back! Tryin’-ta-be-euphoric-soundin’ remake of tha Fleetwood [Mac], here… Ick; too much of a guilty pleasure, with these wasted beatz & even some of tha 1st verse! Ick! More of that 1st verse, again… My Rating: 1.1
 
 
10. LouCii “All Night”
Label: Lalee
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ anotha new one from her, just like on tha previous edition…! >>> Sounds like a hidden male voice, here? Almost sounds like Trevor from Cheat Codes, at first. Then again, iz that’s what I’m thinkin’ tha artist’s name iz pronounced (“Lucy”)? With that bein’ said, whoa @ tha pre-chorus!! Definitely dope & euphoric-soundin’, here!! Sounds like an awesome-soundin’ chorus, as well!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ track!! Sounds awesome when tha 2nd verse kicks in, too!! Definitely a huge surprise fa a track only 125 BPM, vs. all its faster pre-requisites, on this edition! Then again, on tha chorus, “…spendin’ all my money on you”? I’ono, that’s a huge gamble, ain’t it? I know I’ve been guilty of that route & it’s somethin’ that affects my self-esteem… My Rating: 4.7
 
 
½tyme: This edition seems ta be pretty awesome, just as I predicted it!! Definitely a lotta huge & fast bangerz, all tha way round!! A 4.3-rated release, so far!! Definitely what’s up & I can’t wait ta hear what’s next!! However, how will it compete with tha fastness of tha 1st ½?!
 
 
11. Lucas & Steve x Oaks x Jaimes “Love On Hold”
Label: Spinnin’
Wow @ kickin’ off tha 2nd ½ with a 132 BPM-type track & anotha Oaks collab!! Tha LAWRENT track from previously gave me those Lucas & Steve-type of vibes & here they are, faster than average!! Can’t wait ta hear what we got in store!! >>> Sounds decent with tha Jaimes dude, on tha 1st verse… Can be an awesome vibe, based off these L&S vibes… Likin’ how Oaks joins Jaimes, on tha chorus! Cool lil’ melody from every1, here! Tha chorus hit pretty instantly, as well as fast & on a different tip, as far as tha fastness! Oaks comes through on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ adventurous to inspire my type of travelin’. Also, definitely awesome how she represents tha greatness she alwayz brings, on tha tracks! You can tell she’s tha success I reach out for, durin’ my photoshoots, videoshoots & all! Definitely nice, with how tha 2nd chorus hits/ends tha track off! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
12. Mau P “TESLA”
Label: Insomniac
Lmao!! One thing I luv about tha dance world of today iz tha pill-poppin’/upper-type of vibes!! I went ta visit my Louisiana patna in 2023 & he told me, “Last thing I heard they went crazy for was them ‘TESLA’s,” lmao! I instantly thought of that & alwayz do, while this one plays!! Total craziness, here!! Definitely what’s up with tha vocal-distorted “TESLA” part, on tha hook, on tha poppin’!! Also, tha music & tha 1st verse, comin’ through with tha cool vibes & then, at 1:27, tha beat slams hard!! Luv how this continues, especially for its “TESLA”-poppin’ lyrics, on tha chorus! As of today, September 10, 2025, I haven’t actually seen a “TESLA” ta pop. Can only imagine it…! Then again, if I was ta pop it, I would definitely wanna consider Mau P’s “ain’t no need ta judge!” perspective! I already feel that in my autistic genes!! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
13. VIZE “Wait (Alibi Blue)”
Label: Arista
Looks like a slower vibe, but I feel like I can anticipate a new VIZE track? Hmm… >>> Sounds like a familiar-soundin’ female? Might need ta grow on me? Sounds okay… I’m not that crazy about it, so far. Maybe, more of a country-type of lyrics written, here? Then, tha chorus hits & it sounds a lil’ hillbillyish… That’s what I’d consider it as. Tha drop sounds a lil’ betta, though this track would have ta grow on me. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds betta with tha “ocean” & “sand”-type of water-based lyrics, just like tha 1st two tracks on here! My Rating: 3.8
 
 
14. PARISI “Mutual Feelings”
Label: Major/Warner
My guyz!! Can’t wait ta hear a new one on what they got ta bring, courtesy of an October edition!! >>> Ooh, it sounds like my girl, who they’re used ta collaboratin’ with…! L Devine!! I can definitely tell that’s her, in an awesome way, as far as this chorus goes!! Cool lil’ chorus, as well as when tha build-up comes through, with her repeatin’ vox!! Cool lil’ drop part, courtesy of tha “Mutual Feelings”!! Definitely nice af with tha drop/chorus combo!! Definitely what’s up, to tha max!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it keeps tha flame burnin’ strong fa this track!! Hope it’s anotha winner fa PARISI, in tha dance world! People, pay attention! Cool lil’ bridge part, courtesy of an addition ta L Devine, I’d say! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
15. Morgan Seatree & Abi Flynn “Hold Me”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Luv how tha fastness & energy continues with this one!! Definitely feelin’ Morgan’s fastness of 2025, from tha Florence remake ta this! Definitely awesome with Abi, who gives me a total Ella Henderson-type of dance feel for today-today! Definitely can see them two collaboratin’, one day! Might be a huge dance trio or quartet, quintet, etc.! Gotta luv tha continuous energies, between everything Morgan brings & how Abi contributes her power-voice vocals…! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
16. 33 Below x RL Grime “LOOK4MYLOVE”
Label: Major/Warner
Definitely looks awesome, between these two! I envisioned dubstep-like, though 138 BPM makes me think it’s really that?! >>> Tha distorted sample on tha beginning makes me think this gon be epic?! Sounds pretty awesome, so far…! Can’t wait ta hear how this track progresses! Cool lil’ 1st verse that lead into a cool lil’ chorus! Tha build-up to tha drop’s definitely pretty intense!! Whoa!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ 2nd verse-type of music, here!! See, I was right about tha total 138 BPM-paced sounding!! Just knew by that #!! It’s all about tha numbaz!! Definitely a nice-soundin’ drop, as this progresses in a major way!!! Just luv tha strength of tha energy, here!! Definitely such a huge-soundin’ track!!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
17. MORTEN x David Guetta “Lucky”
Label: Future Rave
Wonder how they gon compete with all tha greatness of this edition?! >>> Sounds like it gon be rap-type of lyrics on tha intro, here? Yea, kinda sounds like that, but it’s fused with MORTEN x Guetta’s greatness! Luv when their vocal chops come in ta play, here! Cool lil’ sound, with their future rave-type of perspective, on tha sound! Definitely somethin’ ta be zoned in ta! “I’m floatin’,” iz right! Such a silly-soundin’ chorus, but it’s dope with its addictiveness! Just appreciatin’ tha energy to tha bone, here! Cool lil’ music interlude at 1:45, comin’ through with tha pulse! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
18. Ely Oaks x LAVINIA “Money Made Me A Savage (Calabria)”
Label: Arista
Outta nowhere, while I just got back from Mount Rushmore, this track emerges & it looks/sounds so random, but so dope fa today!! Remakin’ tha previously-remade Enur & Natasja “Calabria” from tha December 2007 edition of Dance Radio! Now, 18 years later, this now-turnt fastness arrives & recreates a new way ta appreciate this one! Though I don’t want my artists of today, especially dance, gettin’ brainwashed by “money”-type tracks, I just know that they should alwayz have tha passion to deliver! With that bein’ said, such an awesome beginning with that fastness of “Calabria” & Natasja’s distorted, sped-up vocals! Definitely a huge-soundin’ chorus & definitely on its shit, here!! So crazy, when it comes to tha energy it brings!! Definitely huge, when it comes to some Post-Mount Rushmore tymes of today! Definitely cool! Gotta luv tha Natasja parts, randomly sped up & brought in ta 2025! Such an awesome way ta come clean about appreciatin’ a “money”-like track! This on a whole ‘notha level than a regular-soundin’ rap song of today! This way up there!! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
19. James Brown & Laidback Luke “I Got Soul (Super Bad)”
Label: Dim Mak
Looks like somethin’ I’d ignore? >>> Sounds a lil’ cool with tha house beatz of LL & just a random-type of remake of today, I guess? I won’t knock this one; I’m definitely feelin’ all tha energy brought to tha table from Laidback, here! That beginning part that repeats around 1:13, from tha intro, sounds like it’s a remake of some melody? I’m just guessin’ from my thoughts. My Rating: 3.9
 
 
20. Zara Larsson “Crush”
Label: Sommer House/Epic
I’ono… With all this competition on here, I’ono if Zara can make it on her own, without her remixers or Guetta collaboratin’ with her…? Endin’ it slowly with 115 BPM, here… >>> Yea, a lil’ weak fa this edition; this edition kicked so much azz!! I mean, this ain’t that bad, but it’s an okay-soundin’ dance track. It sounds betta with tha chorus & drop, fa a slow-type of dance track. Not too-too crazy about tha 2nd verse, especially with tha “don’t reply” part. That’s a main toxic in tha air, as far as this generation goes… Tha rest of this okay; some of these songs are more for tha pop world than dance, imo. Tried ta sound betta with tha bridge part, but ehh, not my favorite-type of song… My Rating: 3.4
 
 
Overall: Sounded like such an awesome, euphoric, nostalgic, energetic, demon-counteractin’ edition, here!! This gotta be tha BEST edition of tha year, despite this October edition bein’ tha follow-up to tha fateful, $40,000.00+ U-Haul accident of last October!! Can’t believe a year ago, seven tracks from tha October edition were 133+ BPM & now, this edition had tha same!! Talk about tha consistency my world needs, continuously!! Definitely what’s up & all tha energy should stay as pure & fast as possible!!
