01.
September “Hands Up”
Did
I forget what tha 1st song was for tha 1st time, rofl?
I’m actually gonna do a listen until I can figure out what it iz… >>>
Oh, that voice of September; that’s
who it iz! I was like, what’s that really good start for me forgetting? Sounds
like a hot beat, almost like some David Guetta breakdowns durin’ tha chorus and
then, tha hotness unleashes; pretty good “HU”-type song… Good job for these
enlightenin’, nightlife lyrics and feelin’! My Rating: 4.2
02.
Paul Van Dyk Feat. Plumb “I Don’t Deserve You (UK Radio Edit)”
Up
next… >>> Forgot what it was gonna be, but now I see it and it looks
like it’s gonna be a good collaboration! Feelin’ tha smooth start, white as a
cloud, lol. Music doesn’t change around too much, so it seems like it’s okay
for production, but better for vocals/lyrics. Finally, a lil’ change for tha
better in tha music at 2:50, even though that took a lil’ long… Either way,
nice job wit tha collaboration. My
Rating: 4.0
03.
Calvin Harris Feat. Example “We’ll Be Coming Back”
First
song I already know on here and it’s a lil’ gay for me; it already fell off my
playlist after that summer breakdown I had wit gettin’ my external drive
recovered, which was, like, 13 dayz of waiting. Even though Example’s on tha
feature, I couldn’t even tell who was doin’ tha vocals and when; that’s how
much I was confused when hearin’ this… Music doesn’t stand up to tha previous
CH songs, and it’s too weird of a song for me. Funny how tha 1st two
songs on here were above this; they’re better, and I thought this would’ve been
an easy first track… My Current Rating: 3.5
04.
Milan & Phoenix
“Istanbul (Not Constantinople)”
LOL… ROFL… Didn’t think Next Plateau would sign this; sounds so Ultra… But yea, Italia strikes again! P105 bein’ a great outlet for a lotta new adds, these dayz… Seems quick as 1, 2, 3 wit gettin’ to tha point, and sounds like a hot song, even though I haven’t played it too much. My Current Rating: 4.3

My Current Rating: 4.3
05.
Melanie Amaro “Don't Fail Me Now (Ferry Corsten Remix Radio)”
FC
doin’ 1 of 2 remixes here; let’s see tha follow-up to her stealin’ tha disco
“R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” cover… >>> Sounds good wit her vocals; almost sounds
like a HM, but I don’t think it’ll get pop exposure, since her last song seemed
to be like a flop… Music ain’t too bad, but it could be a lil’ hotter for a
song and music, itself… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse, and tha music sounds
poppy than FC and his trance vibe? My
Rating: 3.7
06.
Madeon Feat. Zak Waters & Cass Lowe “The City”
LOL
again… I guess they’re gettin’ out there, thanx to that Martin Solveig “TNO”
remix they did. Now that “TNO” iz so boring and played-out, looks like this iz
where we should be wit Madeon. Still, it’s their similar beat style, but I seem
to like this better. Vocals sound catchy; sounds like one of tha best night
songs of tha year? Should get more exposure if it’s signed to major label, Columbia, but at least
that makes it big in tha dance world… Love that “distance / exist and” rhyme in
tha chorus! Kick-ass chorus!! I even really like that last three seconds of tha
beat ending a lot, too! Anticipation for what’s about ta come up next, iPod or
computer? My Current Rating: 4.4
07.
Morgan Page, Andy Caldwell & Jonathan Mendelsohn “Where Did You Go”
One
of tha new P105 adds from just a week ago; surprised they got a hold of this,
even though PO just came out a few dayz ago.
Now, lemme hear! >>> Not too bad of a start; hope we get a strong
chorus or somethin’… Ehh, chorus ain’t that bad, but nothing seems to stand out
too much; I guess tha
slightly-better-than-average beat’s what’s to “go” for, here? Not even that
much of a song, either; thought there’d be a 2nd verse, at least… My Rating: 3.8
08.
Kat DeLuna “Wanna See U Dance (La La La)”
Let’s
see what she’s got for an original version… >>> Sounds like it gon be
a real good start wit tha music; Romanian beat flava? Chorus sounds catchy;
nice job! 1st verse sounds like a big party; great job, Kat! Good 2nd
verse, too; all about that chorus and a potential banger for her! Too bad pop
doesn’t really pay attention to her anymore; hate how pop’ll make people look
like false one-hit wonders! Ahh, even
a DS-type breakdown wit just tha beat, lol… My Rating: 4.4
09.
Chris Lake & Lazy Rich Feat. Jareth “Stand
Alone”
Tha
other P105 add from last week that’s featured on this CD; let’s hear it
(follow-up to “Sundown”)! >>> Of course, better than I expected; catchy vocals and delivery of tha
lyrics! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, and much better than tha MP, AC
& JM song! Chorus sounds pretty hot wit that beat, too!! Whoo, lovin’ tha
catchy vocals a lot!! All about attractin’ “enemies;” I was recently referred
to as “gay” from this dumb-ass rapper from tha south, when I hadn’t talked to
him in over two years! It’s like, you bring my name up outta nowhere? “And you
gay, like FrankieThaLuckyDog;” smh, but I lol at me just bein’ brought up!!
Lots of verses like “Spectrum”? Guess we’re in tha “Spectrum” world now; good
shit!! My Rating: 4.6
10.
Justin Bieber “As Long As You Love Me (Ferry Corsten Remix Radio Edit)”
Yuck…
Bieber originally teamed up wit an overrated rapper, but went solo for tha FC
remix. MCD has this, and it doesn’t exactly sound like him, but it’s too “Ain’t
No Stoppin’” wit tha music, so there’s really nothin’ to this for me. Really?
Tha “ANS” cloned music sounds better here than tha Melanie Amaro remix? Might
played this a few times, but prolly less than 10. My Current Rating: 3.6
½time: Well, seems like this
CD’s mostly good; some songs that were just decent, but a few bangers stand
out! 4.1
for tha CD rating, currently!
11.
Markus Schulz Feat. Seri “Love Rain Down (Myon & Shane 54 Summer Of Love
Radio Mix)”
Love
how MCD’s showin’ luv to tha Armada Music imports, puttin’ ‘em in regular
rotation durin’ tha day and shit!! They did it wit Matt Darey/Leah “Hold Your
Breath” earlier in tha spring and now that “HYB” finally died out ( :( ), time
for this to take over! Original version sounds really good, so let’s see how
this faster mix goes… >>> Sounds real nice wit a long beat build-up…
Glad tha VT vibe’s here, in a faster way, wit this beat! I might even have an
almost-tie between liking tha original version and this mix! Original version
has some good beat elements, but this has a faster element wit a good beat,
still… My Rating: 4.5
12.
P!nk “Blow Me (One Last Kiss) (Project 46 Remix Radio)”
Oh
no, P!nk; I don’t think I need to hear a different mix than MCD’s Gigi Barocco
mix… >>> Tha MS build-up worked, but I don’t think this beat
build-up’ll hold up for me… For a wild MCD mix, this mix sounds too quiet and
calm for tha attitude of this song… Ehh, weird, soft-soundin’ music after tha
chorus; ewe! I think I oughta take a breather and see if tha 3 raccoons and
possum are eating my grandma’s garbage, lol… *Checks* Nothing; bad P!nk! My Rating: 2.5
13.
Nause “Hungry Hearts”
Let’s
see what we got here… >>> Ooh, really feelin’ tha beat start; hope
everything looks good on tha ID once I find out what it iz!! Catchy vocals, but
can’t figure out what it iz? *Checks ID* Had a feelin’ it was gonna be
somethin’ new; lyrics ain’t too bad for tha chorus, as I somewhat think they
sound a lil’ childish. However, a lil’ bit of an anthem for rulin’ “tha world.” Almost reminds me of
tech-house in tha beat a lil’, which keeps my anticipation high! My Rating: 4.3
14.
Ne-Yo “Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) (Seamus Haji Radio
Mix)”
>>> Oh, this fuckin’ song’s on here; I knew it! So pissed off at it ‘cause MCD stopped playin’ “Heal” outta nowhere, last month, and everytime their original version of this song’s quiet start comes on, I think it’s “Heal”; fuck! Definitely tired of this; guess this iz MCD’s other mix, too. Hot beats after tha chorus, which made me think it was Gregor Salto on tha mix, but didn’t impress me enough, completely. Finally, SH has a much-better mix than all tha Gossip and “R.I.P.” songs, but it’s not like I’m payin’ attention to this… My Current Rating: 3.4

Starkillers & Richard Beynon Feat. Natalie Peris “What Does Tomorrow Bring”
Hope
we can expect somethin’ much better after that fuckin’ “Let Me Love You”!!!
>>> Checkin’ tha ID once I heard tha hot vocals, and it looks like
it’s gonna be an anthem, hopefully! Seemed like SK finally got some decent
exposure after “Pressure”, despite previously hatin’ on my 2006 awards, lol! But
yea, tha beat’s definitely to tha
max, here; lots of hotness comin’ outta this beat!! Just like tha “Spectrum”
songs, let’s keep tha “Pressure” songs comin’! Really feelin’ tha beat, and tha
vocals really make dance music seem like it’s always gonna be fulla anthems!
Should get released immediately ‘cause it sounds like a great end-of-tha-year
song, like “Pressure”, which was big a year ago around this time! My Rating: 4.7
16.
Asaf Avidan “One Day/Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Remix Edit)”
>>>
Didn’t look at tha ID, yet, but it sounds like a really bad start… I assume
this iz tha slow, 119 BPM song on here…? Lemme see what this iz… *Checks ID* Ke
he lo Jewish, rofl? He ah lo mo fe ke ni ze pi mo qu pfh—POO, lol!! What iz this??? Oh, just gets worse toward tha 2:00
mark, when tha vocals get all emotional as fuck! Bad representation of havin’ a
house feel wit tha repeatin’ verses, compared to tha great house songs that were on this CD, already!! My Rating: 1.1
(we’ll let MJ be last on my ratings, lol!)
17.
Mariah Carey “Triumphant (Get 'Em) (Laidback Luke Radio Edit)”
I
think I need a recovery… >>> Didn’t look at tha ID at first, but this
iz kinda floppy for Mariah, sadly; even wit tha original version havin’ two
rappers on it, it has, like, no exposure… Vintage Throwback Remix iz a good
dance remix, but this iz hot, too; it’s just prolly not goin’ anywhere… Wow,
really short? Oh yea, tha other rappers aren’t on it; that’s why. My Rating: 4.1
18.
Taylor Jones “Rock This Party”
What
could this be? >>> Sounds like a hot beat and a good “party” song; not
100% sure what to make outta this, yet… Oh, I had a feelin’ some rappin’ was
gonna come outta nowhere. Actually, it sounds pretty hot wit all these hot
beats not stoppin’; fastness and a hot beat! Still, what’s wit tha sing-rap
songs? Why can’t they just stick to one type?! This iz kinda exceptional for a
sing-rap one, though, although I dunno if I can see this gettin’ exposure; who
knows… My Rating: 4.4
19.
Michael Jackson Feat. Pitbull “Bad (Afrojack Remix/DJ Buddha Edit)”
Pitbull?
Either way, why iz this ‘80s song gettin’ remixed? *Skips* Can just painfully
deal wit it on MCD, smh! My Current
Rating: 1.0
20.
Steve Aoki vs. Duran Duran “Hungry Like The Wolf (The New York Werewolf Mix Radio Edit)”
Why
again iz this ‘80s song gettin’
remixed? Almost was ready to skip it but tha hot beats can get ya… Still, tha
original verses are hella gay, especially wit that “do, do, do, do…” shit! :?
Can deal wit it on MCD; wonder why they have it in late night rotation? Sounds
weird to them, especially when they got “Love Rain Down” in regular rotation;
ain’t it tha opposite, lol? My Current
Rating: 2.6 (yea, hot beats are there, but
DD’s kinda a dealbreaker; I think I should rate this higher than P!nk…)
21.
EDX Feat. John Williams “Give It Up For Love”
I’m
expectin’ a good ending wit EDX as tha DJs… >>> Ugh, why tha acoustic
guitar beat? Way too dry for a start—watch it become an anthem outta nowhere
like “Don’t Wake Me Up”… Well, chorus ain’t too bad; sounds a lil’ country on
tha vocals? Beats aren’t too bad, overall, but it’s not too impressive… My Rating: 3.2
Overall: Not too bad for a CD,
overall; I think it’s nice and decent…
