Beyoncé “Best Thing I Never Had (Mike Rizzo Funk Generation Radio Edit)”
Actually, tha “The” ain’t really a part of tha title. Sounds better than her “Run The World (Girls)” song, which stole “Pon De Floor” (Major Lazer)’s beat, which izn’t a good look for tha Dance/Electronica world. But, at least this song’s gettin’ out there a lil’ more; thought PO was gonna put a remix of “RTW” on here. Thumbs up ta Rizzo and Beyoncé for tha not-bad remix, here. My Current Rating: 3.8

Time Takers “She Blows (The Whistle Song)”
For
some reason, I cannot remember what #2 was. I have a feelin’ it looks popular?
Lemme see tha ID … *Checks review* Oh, I’m slowly remembering…; think it looked
weird? *Checks ID* Oh yea; not popular? W/O even hearin’, I thought it would be
out there already? >>> Thought it would be females on tha vocals but
it’s dudes; sounds funny, catchy, but I dunno about Robbins… LOL, wouldn’t this
be near tha end? #2? I can see why no one was buyin’ this; not sure if it would
be big/decent for me, even if I’m gettin’ back into playin’ songs or not. Kinda
a “steal” title ‘cause rapper Juelz Santana had a “There It Go (The Whistle Song)” back in 2005; don’t
think another one/Dance-tryin’ one was necessary. Plus, even though this sounds
like it’s short, I feel like it’s way too long ‘cause of all tha
repetitiveness. My Rating: 2.3
03.
Kim Sozzi “Little Bird (Italia3 Radio Edit)”
Thought
it would be a boring song when I heard it a bunch of times on MCD, but it’s
startin’ ta become catchy. Not somethin’ I’d overplay, but it’s still good. I
do think tha 1st verse iz a lil’ long. Plus, it’s a cover, too.
Also, “Italia3” on tha mix? Where’s tha “Italian”
sound? :? SMH @ tha mix name! My Current
Rating: 3.6
04.
Schiller Feat. September “Breathe (Dave Ramone Radio Edit)”
Actually,
a record label that hasn’t put out Dance music since 2005, Radikal Records,
signed this; glad that label’s back! Also, there’s two other Radikal songs on
this CD; wonder if they’re old, too? Haven’t played it much but it’s still
pretty big-sounding for me. My Current
Rating: 4.3
05.
The Wanted “All Time Low (Frank E Radio Edit)”
*Checks
ID* Tha 2nd-fastest song on here? Ralphi Rosario has a good mix on
MCD; lemme see what this gon sound like. >>> Frank E iz not a Dance producer; sounds aight but
gets better wit tha chorus’s beat… Ralphi Rosario sounds much better wit tha Dance
mix! My Rating: 3.5
06.
Maniacalm Feat. Lala “I Miss You (8Barz vs. Martin Villeneuve Radio Mix)”
ROFL,
no less, in tha same # as when tha
original was on tha March CD? That’s a 1st… Sounds more MCD ‘late
night’, which actually, iz where it iz. I hate how MCD got rid of tha original
version and stuck wit this instead; uh, do that wit a Britney Spears song! Sick
of hearin’ tha dumb-ass original versions of her on MCD! My Current Rating: 3.5
07.
TV Rock & Hook N Sling Feat. Rudy “Diamonds In The Sky”
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about Summer anthem, or better yet, start-your-car anthem? Was tha 1st
song I played throughout tha whole
month of July everytime I went somewhere on Long Island, NY!
Such a great sound, repetitive or
not! All three of them were one-hit-wonders ‘til this song: TV Rock remixed
“Higher State Of Consciousness 2007”, Hook N Sling remixed Sarah McLeod “He
Doesn’t Love You” & Rudy was on Dirty South’s “Phazing”; now, here they all
are! Such a great song gets mega exposure on MCD, thanx to its label (Big Beat
Records), who signed “Hello”, Wynter/Zoё Badwi and those bigger songs; makes
this song gain popularity! First, “Limit Is The Sky” and now this! My Current Rating: 4.9
08.
Calvin Harris Feat. Kelis “Bounce”
I
ignored it ‘til I heard tha R3hab remix, which iz only instrumental and has
added, tight beats. My Current Rating: 3.9
09.
Jordin Sparks “I Am Woman (Jason Nevins Radio Edit)”
*Checks
ID* LOL, I don’t think I know what tha rest of tha IDs are gonna be ‘til #20 so
I’ll lol, lol. >>> So far, low interest for tha beginning; let’s see
if I can feel tha “good HM but that’s about it” feeling… Too many vocals? Music
could be better, too… My Rating: 2.6
10.
The House Rejects Feat. Rachel Claudio “Music Is A Savior”
*Checks
ID* It has a good ID, so… >>> Actually, sounds pretty hot; guess House
iz tha shit right now? Hot vocals and even hotter beat! At least it’s real, unlike some of these other songs
on here! LOL, it sounds like she says, “middle finger,” lol! Checkin’ tha label
and this iz released on Sylvia Tosun’s SeaToSun Recordings label; nice lil’
sign right there! My Rating: 4.4
½time: Wow, this iz pretty
stale, so far. If it wasn’t for “Diamonds In The Sky”, I wouldn’t’ve
anticipated this edition so much. “Breathe” iz kinda old, so “Diamonds” &
“Music Is A Savior” count as tha most-meaningful songs on here, currently; 3.7
for tha CD rating, currently. :(
11.
Denine “What Happened To Love (Soul Seekerz Radio Mix)”
*Checks
ID* Tazmania Records on tha signing (Mig & Rizzo remixed tha two previous
songs signed to dat label, including Wendy “Turn It Up” & Joe Zangie “You
Remind Me”); gettin’ some AL for this ‘cause I think we got a CD turning better
now! >>> Sounds like a slow start, compared to anticipatin’ tha
M&R mix. Vocals are pretty hot, here; whoa, tha music in tha chorus iz
pretty hot, too!! Think this sounds a lil’ familiar? Might’ve heard in Mike
Rizzo’s MCD mix? I can hear tha familiarness! Great, official 1st
listen! If I would’ve heard “Diamonds In The Sky” on here 1st, it
would’ve lost to this (would’ve originally rated that song 4.5); was wondering
if there’d be a competition, lol! My
Rating: 4.6
Lemme hear tha M&R
mix… >>> Lookin’ at tha YT vid and she looks pretty good, as well as
all tha remixers she has on tha CD remixes! Sounds like tha mixes would be
flipped? This one sounds less-exciting and tha SS one sounds like tha
excitement I’d have wit M&R? Anyway, still pretty good!
12.
Tom Boxer Feat. Antonia “Morena (UK Radio Edit)”
*Checks
Al’s review, who beat me to reviewin’ it…* Ooh, a Romanian song! Gettin’ me
excited, but I gotta go to tha bathroom, first, lol! *Goes to bathroom and
checks ID* Wouldn’t’ve guessed off tha ID so now, lemme finally get a chance to
hear! >>> Sounds like a real hot start wit tha keys, and somewhat
familiar! Ooh, I hear tha sexy vocals; wonder if tha UK edit’s different from tha
original version or iz this considered original? Radikal Records on tha
signing; guess that’s why you know it! Sounds like this has a lil’ addiction to
it: have to keep listening! Great job wit tha verses, too; seems like we gotta
keep hearin’ from this Antonia gurl! :) My
Rating: 4.5
13.
Sir Ivan “Live For Today (DJs From Mars Radio Edit)”
*Checks
ID* Lemme see… >>> Kinda scary start; lol, Sounds like another cover,
which I think it iz, especially now that I’m hearin’ tha chorus. Anyway, I
could actually like this… if there
was actual Dance in tha beat! Well,
very little after tha chorus but still, step up! My Rating: 3.4
14.
Eva “Ashes (StoneBridge Radio Edit)”
*Checks ID* Same name as Ms. “Take Over Control”, which looks hot, especially wit tha title and mix… Semi-borderline, not-so-known label In Ya Face on tha signing… >>> Hot beat start; let’s hope to keep it up! Cocky lyrics; uh oh… LOL, I hear tha nursery rhyme in tha chorus; lol, a lil’ gay, but I actually like this better than “Sexy DJ (In Da Club)”, which sounded a lil’ childish wit tha vocal delivery. Because of tha cheesiness in tha nursery rhyme, this would go good wit fucked-up situations (like not gettin’ paid for things) but then again, there’s nothin’ really fucked-up happening wit me, these dayz; I’m handling things very good now. LOL, sorry ‘bout tha rating but at least tha music and vocals kept it for me. My Rating: 4.4

15.
Sak Noel Feat. Esthera Sarita “Loca People (What The Heck Radio Edit)”
Let’s
see if Radikal was in charge of this… *Checks ID* Nope, Ultra, but a “Sak” as
tha artist name and “What The Heck” as tha mix name? Tell me this was ‘pose ta
be “what tha hell” ‘cause why would a remixer have a name called “WTHeck”?
>>> LOL, “fuck” intro! Sounds pretty hilarious; interestin’ dialect
goin’ on here, lol! Goes good wit tha “Ashes” song: Could have a lil’ “ring
around tha rose-y” and a lil’ “what tha fuck,” lol! Sounds like tha song neva
ends; beat’s okay/good, but a lil’ too long? My Rating: 4.2
16.
Lenny B Feat. Roxxett “Hysteria (Original Radio)”
*Checks
ID* ROFL, glad I’m here to save tha day… … …or am I? I have a high AL… >>> So far,
pretty nice lyrics; Tha beat sounds a lil’ plain but good for me… Sounds like
it could be only a touch catchy; Ooh, hot beat after tha chorus; guess that
makes up for tha plainness! Thumbs up for tha hot beat dat kept me interested;
interest wound up bein’ high! My Rating:
4.4
17.
Ma.Da vs. Stolfi & Kina “Vengo Anchi’io (No Tu No!!!)”
*Checks
ID* Tha final Radikal Records song… Speakin’ of “WSNA”, my mom just heard that
song for tha 1st time a few months ago, courtesy of my cousin, and
she loves it like no other (she also heard “Mr. Saxobeat” on Party FM and likes
that, too). It’s like, she’ll prolly neva get tha interest from me; it’s always
other people, smh. But, I should look forward ta this! >>> Even though
not out there yet, I wonder how many months/years it’ll take for my mom to find
out about this? Sounds pretty hot wit tha beginning music! LOL @ tha Italian
part; surprised Radikal got this over Ultra… Not much else to say; good job! My Rating: 4.0
18.
Drop The Lime “Hot As Hell”
DTL
are an MCE artist/remixers; sounds like a funny song wit tha shit goin’ on
here. My Current Rating: 4.1
19.
Andrea Benham “Dance With You Tinight”
Tha
final mysterious one… Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one on an unknownish
label! >>> Sounds like it’s anticipatin’; not sure why it’s not out
there, yet? Feelin’ tha original Dance music goin’ on, here; also, I like how
tha chorus sounds wit Andrea doin’ a nice job! Prolly gon be a song I’ll play
frequently, just to get tha better outta it, lol. My Rating: 4.2
20.
Ron Reeser & Dan Saenz Feat. Jennifer Karr “City Of Kings (Sted-E & Hybrid Heights Radio Edit)”
Why’d
they leave tha singer outta tha ID? Tha original had her… >>> Sounds
like a Wideboys start. Sounds like I’m listening to tha Jump Smokers mix of
“Hold It Against Me” wit this plain, non-stop-building music… Not really
anything special, here; was only an okay song that dropped out my playlist
after one month anyway, even though I should’ve liked it better. Plus, MCD, can
you STOP playing “Into You” in heavy
rotation already? :? :? :? :? :? Even worse: Changing its year to 2011? :? You
premiered it in May 2010! My Rating: 3.3
21.
Tune-Adiks Feat. Mia Martina “Summer Love (Rich “DJ Riddler” Pangilinan vs. 4M
Radio Mix)”
Good combo of mixers. I actually found this remix by tryin’ to google for this CD but didn’t get to hear it. It’s like, this got up there? Lemme see if this iz better than tha slow-sounding original. >>> Glad it’s faster, especially from remixers that don’t really do tha fast thing now. Too bad for gettin’ this mix now; tha low in PA was about in tha low 50s last night, smh! What kinda “Summer” iz this “Summer” ending to? Where’s tha words in tha chorus? Sounds too much of just tha humming/Romanian beat? I think tha original version might’ve been better but this iz still pretty good; likin’ tha fastness… Also, Tune-Adiks, I believe, equals Giuseppe D (like Mike Rizzo = Funk Generation). Got tha original in Spring and now, my vacation’s over, so this mix iz prolly not gonna have it that good wit me. :( My Rating: 4.3

Overall: It did pick up once that House song came in (and all tha unknowns).
Glad tha wait has gone to rest now! I think August’s will be better; ‘bout to
review it!
