ATB “Flash X”
Likin’
tha label, here! Nice and self-made!! ATBeats on tha label and this looks like
it’ll be an anticipating one?! Like, more of a borderline-trance vibe from
“Break Through The Silence”?! Just sayin’!! >>> Feelin’ these lost
male vocals for tha start and this beat! Gettin’ more and more serious at tha
chorus, here; zapped, zoned & zilched out, lol!! Just like tha build-up
during tha chorus, tha drop has a real catchy vibe just like it!! Definitely a really-nice way ta start
this off!! Nice job with tha 2nd verse, too, and tha climax before
tha 2nd chorus/drop part sounds like you’re on a rollercoaster!!
Whoo, crazy shit!!! My Rating: 4.8
02.
DVBBS “Never Leave”
Spinnin’
on tha label! Yes, anotha powerful DJ!!! >>> Diggin’ tha catchy intro,
here; can’t wait ta hear these beats!! Tha hidden vocals in tha background
sound like one of their previous track features, “Gold Skies” (7/14 PO)… And, I have to say, these are catchy male vocals;
definitely nice fa tha start of 2016! Great lil’ drop, too, as it progresses
through this trippy birthday!! My
Rating: 4.5

SNBRN feat. Andrew Watt “Beat The Sunrise”
Was
Ultra on tha last PO?! *Re-checks* Oh, what
tha hell’s wrong with me?! LOL! Naw, it almost seems like Ultra’s on PO one or two times, now, lol! Does that mean they done
fell off?! But yeah, only 124 BPM; will it be like my favorite joint from this
year, “Back Home” (3/15 PO)?! Hope it has some
of those elements in it!! >>> So far, a decent lil’ start between tha
beat and tha vocals… And, here’s tha drop… It’s one of those dry SNBRN drops,
but this one’s dark! Not to mention, I like how tha beat sounds keep addin’! When
tha “ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh”
harmonizing appears, it almost sounds like it’s remakin’ somethin’ from not too
long ago! For a slowie, this turned out to be better than usual! My Rating: 4.1
04.
Alex Midi feat. Delacey “In The Air Tonight”
Hmm,
wonder if this iz a remake? No seconds on tha intro, so it instantly starts!
Got Delacey on tha feature, previously from “Destiny” (5/15 PO),
which iz great ‘cause I’m lookin’ at a pic of me and this girl, “Destiny,” from
my job!! Whoo!!! Just tha kinda luck I have, at tha moment! But, with AfterCluv
on tha label, I have a feelin’ I’ll surprisingly really like this 120
BPM-produced Delacey-featured track!! >>> LOL, yup, just from tha
beginning, it sounds like a remake of Phil Collins… Very anticipating music throughout tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st
verse!! Here comes tha very familiar chorus and it’s soundin’ pretty nice!
Definitely some nice, pure beats! And, will there be a drop…? Guess not…? And,
4:04 on tha length, lol? Either way, definitely somethin’ exciting for me,
here! “World of ___” iz where we’re at, right now!! Feel like it’s so tha future!! Sounds good with tha 3rd
verse, too!! Ooh, gotta love this!!! Oh, just hearin’ tha “I’ve been waiting
for this moment for all my life…” line makes me think that if I consistently
still believe in DJ B-Real unblocking and reconnecting with me that it will happen!! Just keep believin’!! My Rating: 4.8
05.
Conrad Sewell “Hold Me Up (Steve Smart Radio Mix)”
Anticipatin’
tha mix and this “Firestone” vocalist… We’ll see if 300 Entertainment &
Atlantic Records can put out a nice, 123 BPM-type song/remix! >>> Sounds
a lil’ different and louder on tha vocals than tha “Firestone”, lol, but I’m
feelin’ tha mix, here! And, hearin’ tha chorus and it sounds much better than
tha 1st verse music! Definitely much-more interesting, here! Reminds
me of years ago during tha iPartyRadio dayz, where they’d have a new song like
this/strong remix! Definitely sounds great for tha remaining part of tha
song/remix! My Rating: 4.3
06.
Aiden Jude + Celia Babini “All In”
As
soon as I seen tha “All…,” I knew it
was gonna be an Aiden Jude song!! However, that’s ‘cause of his older release
from this year, “All We Are”! Yeah, that was definitely nice and so was his
“Stadium Of Light”!! I hope he continues to be really consistent and neva stops
producing that quality!! Straight off tha Crowd label (no “Shape”, lol?)!!
>>> Anticipating tha new vocalist name, too, to add to my preview
after my preview, lol! Sounds like a nice build-up throughout tha 1st
verse; good shit! Hearin’ tha chorus and it’s very catchy, just like his other releases!! Oh, just luv tha strong
and unique beats with tha repetitive chorus!! Whoo!! Sounds great with tha
lyrics on tha 2nd verse, too!! My
Rating: 4.8
EDIT: What?! Aiden Jude’s born
in 2002, according to Wikipedia!! What tha…?! Crazy shit!! He gotta be one of
tha 1st mainstream people in tha dance world that were born in tha
2000s!! Only 13 years-old with such talent?!? Or wait, Complex magazine says he
was 10 years-old during tha middle of last year?!? Whaaaatt!!?!?
07.
Dzeko & Torres feat. Delaney Jane “L’Amour Toujours (Tiësto Radio Edit)”
Shorter
than just tha “Edit”, here, with only 2:39 on tha length, lol… Mr. Ësto’s
Musical Freedom label, here, and this a hot lil’ remake of “I’ll Fly With You”
from Gigi D’Agostino, from 2000! Glad to see anotha Delaney Jane collaboration,
as they were rulin’ 2015!!! >>> LOL @ tha intro cut-off here, but at
least tha drop’s still tha same, as well as these hot beats!! Nice ending to end
it off, too! My Current Rating: 4.5
08.
David Guetta feat. Sia “Bang My Head (GLOWINTHEDARK Radio Edit)”
Interestin’
remixer’s name… Let’s see how this 3rd collab of theirs gon do, with
Parlophone & Atlantic on tha label… >>> I think Sia got more toward
tha poppiness with her sound, to me, since last year, when she blew up with tha
“Chandelier”… As for this, it does sound good; not sure what else ta say about
it… Hearin’ tha build-up and it’s pretty addicting, as well as tha drop! A lil’
on tha dark side, just like tha
remixer’s name! Overall, catchy and on tha late night vs. mainstream side, lol.
My Rating: 4.0
09.
Philip George & Anton Powers “Alone No More (UK Radio Edit)”
I
have a feelin’ this gon be a lil’ mainstream/borderline? 3 Beat, Motown &
Capitol all tha label… Hmm, lesse!! >>> Sounds a lil’ R&Bish,
like, an early 2000s-type sound on tha sound, here… I’m diggin’ tha chorus
sound, here; stronger late ‘90s, early ‘00s beats!! Tha rest of this iz pretty
catchy and definitely qualifies as a hot joint!! My Rating: 4.2
10.
Jackson Ville feat. Hana Reeves “Burn Up”
I’m
anticipatin’ this one!! Definitely diggin’ tha vocalist’s name, includin’
Robbins on tha signing!! Let’s keep tha new bangerz comin’!! >>>
Sounds like it will be good on tha intro… Hearin’ tha beats and they definitely
sound nice, European & not from tha US, lol! Ooh, pretty nice chorus!!
Definitely catchy how she says tha title!! Too bad Robbins kinda fell a lil’
off with tha mainstream scene ‘cause if this was an automatically-released
release, it would prolly easily get out there! I’ll be happy once this gets out
there…, hopefully!! Oh, just luv this
catchiness and these pure beats!!! My
Rating: 4.6
11.
Hailee Steinfeld “Love Myself (Riddler Anthem Radio Edit)”
Definitely
excited fa this one!!! Republic on tha label and this young girl’s definitely
got it goin’ on with this one!! Such an impowering song, though it’s rumored to
be about masturbation, lol?! >>> Beginning sounds exactly like tha
original, only faster, of course, since tha original’s only 123 BPM! That’s
still nice fa a lil’ pop song! Of course, tha chorus iz nice and strong with
that latin-soundin’ beat on tha chorus—well, latin with tha drums, if you wanna
call it that! A lil’ catchier with tha 2nd verse’s beat; go, Ridd!!
Oh, so great, especially right before tha lil’ bridge! Luv tha vocalizing, lol!
My Rating: 4.7
½time: Well, I have to say, this
could be tha best ½time we’ve eva had!!! Could you believe it!! On a trippy
birthday, too!! We have a whopping 4.5 for tha average CD rating, so far!!! I don’t
think it’s eva been this high, like, zoooonnnnned
out, lol!! Naw, but yeah, I feel like I’m gonna be obsessed with almost every
song, so far, and we went through 11 of ‘em!!! Definitely a great label
choice with tha releases and how every song has came out, so far!!! Let’s keep
it goin’ with tha 2nd ½ but first, I need to eat!! I’m so thirsty,
too, lol!! *Eats at 6:09 PM…* *Returns at 6:18 PM…* Well, a lil’ Cocoa Krispies
ain’t hurt nobody now, don’t it?! LOL! Wanted to get back to this quickly! Only
nine minutes of eating? Felt like I was gone for an hour!!
12.
Lost Kings feat. Jessame “Bad”
That
moment where I type “Cazzette” before I type “Lost Kings,” lol; habit right
now! But, MCD just got this slowie and I don’t think it’s gonna be as special
as tha previous songs during tha 1st ½… Here we go, and it’s
Spinnin’ on tha label, too! >>> I mean, I really liked their mix of
“Together” so we’ll see if I can get used to this… I’m diggin’ this discoish,
semi-slow dance music, here… Tha chorus sounds a lil’ R&Bish and all that,
but I think this iz a nice one, overall… My
Current Rating: 3.9
13.
Taylor Swift “Wildest Dreams (R3hab Radio Edit)”
Keepin’
it goin’ with anotha hit-mixer, courtesy of Big Machine & Republic Records…
All of her previous songs before this one were catchy, though none got remixed
on a PO before! I think this’ll be nice but
with tha 130 BPM, will it be anotha “Bitch Better Have My Money” / “Sun Is
Shining” remix sound to it? >>> A really slow start, kinda like if tha
original version was slowed down… Diggin’ tha chorus beat, here; definitely
somethin’ exciting to build up to, and it’s Taylor Swift, lol! Diggin’ tha
drop, here, as it sounds pretty unique… I’ono how to exactly describe it, but
it’s pretty nice! However, will anyone get this, lol? But, what I was gonna say
was that tha 130 BPM almost sounds like faster, like, 132 BPM or somethin’!
Seems like I’m not used to much 130erz, anymore, since not many are released,
these dayz… But, it makes it sound exciting, I guess? My Rating: 4.2
14.
Pep & Rash x Shermanology “Sugar”
LOL,
here comes this! Got a lil’ preview after a P105 mixshow add and it’s okay, for
a 1st listen… Since it had a familiar sound like “Rumors” (4/15 PO) on tha beat, I figured I’d hold off for now. But,
here goes tha official review! And, werent Shermanology on tha 12/13 PO? Yes, with that CD’s top-rated song, “Who We Are”,
with Amba Shepherd! And, tha lil’ dark beat intro’s kinda like their sound,
though it sounds funny to think this iz dark… Really likin’ how tha 1st
verse sounds, here, and I’m definitely diggin’ this interesting, dark-kinda
vibe! Oh, I’m startin’ ta feel tha verses better!! Definitely diggin’ tha 2nd
verse; almost can’t wait to hear it again!! Long on tha club ending, here, lol…
My Current Rating: 4.4
15.
Nick Jonas “Levels (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)”
Oh
no, time fa anotha remix… And, forgot to mention with tha previous song, this
tha 2nd of 4th song in a row with 125 BPM, lol! Island
& Republic Records, here… >>> Yeah, to me, Mr. Jonas iz cheesy to
me and I’ono about havin’ a cheesy remixer on tha remixin’, here… I feel like
this CD’s got way more potential than that! Not really feelin’ tha drop, here;
almost thought it was gonna be somethin’ really outta tha blue fa a second,
lol… I can’t picture this dude shirtless and tryna turn on tha girls in a
sexual way, lol… My Rating: 3.6
16.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike feat. Ne-Yo “Higher Place”
Almost
a lil’ borderline, here, with Ne-Yo… Motown & Capitol on tha label, here,
since it seems like a joint collab, lol! Thought they were way better with “The
Hum”, but… >>> Kinda doesn’t sound like Ne-Yo but it still sounds
soulful and shit… Okay, after tha random vocalist on tha beginning, here comes
Ne-Yo… Not really tha style I’d expect from DV & LM, but I think it sounds
catchy… I’ono if I’ll play it that much, but definitely somethin’ better than
tha ‘norm,’ lol… I have a feeling this’ll be a really big pop song or
somethin’; we shall see… My Rating: 3.8
17.
Cazzette “Genius”
Think
I’ve seen and heard it before…; we shall see how it does! ICONS & PRMD on
tha label… >>> I’ono why, but I was really feelin’ that line: “Not
only kings wear crowns…” Soulful-soundin’ vocals with that catchy beat that I
remember from one of my first listens… Definitely a catchy lil’ chorus, despite
this just bein’ an ‘okay’ song… My
Current Rating: 4.0
18.
My Morning Jacket “Compound Fracture (Giorgio Moroder Remix)”
I’ono
about these jointz now!! It almost seems like this CD went from really tight to
really funny… With a 41-second beat intro, I hope it can catch my attention!
Then again, only 115 BPM? I’ono!! ATO & Capitol Records, here… >>>
Well, I’m diggin’ this really slow intro but with these beat sounds… Startin’
ta get better around :25; hope tha rest of this sounds like this! Still, lol,
so random for tha long intro; fuckin’ love it!! Then again, just okay vocals… A
weird, random, and tight chorus, here, between tha nice music, weird lyrics,
and random vocals… Sounds like this a sticky gumbo pot, containing various
ingredients! My Rating: 3.7
19.
James Hersey “Coming Over (Filous Remix)”
Here
they are, collaborating again, right after tha 8/15 PO!
This 110 BPM, Ultra-signed anticipation’s low, mainly… >>> Beginning
sounds a lil’ like a bluegrass-y version of “Firestone”… Almost thought I
might’ve heard this once before… Oh, tha bass kills me on tha drop!! It’s almost like this remixer just creeped
in, slowly and quietly, or as Origene says, “Suddenly and silently!” Yeah,
great throwback there!! Well, I think I’m feelin’ this but in a funny way… I
think it’s mainly ‘cause I got a pic of that girl, Destiny, on my screen right
now! Like, I feel like no matter what each song sounds like, I smile and really
like tha song, no matter! I guess it’s when you’re such a special person like her!! Oh, that drop again; luv how it hits!! My Rating: 3.8
20.
Dillon Francis & Skrillex feat. Maluca “Bun Up The Dance”
Anotha
slow one at 108 BPM, this time! LOL, it keeps goin’ down!! Columbia, here, with an interesting, though
prolly-not-for-me-kinda collab, here… >>> Kinda cool and great with
how it sounds, though I’ono, exactly… Kinda strange, but kinda tight? Weird
vocals on tha 1st verse from tha dark—oh wait, it sounds like Sanjin
(featured on tha “Pyramids” track from DVBBS & them (1/15 PO))…
Hmm, maybe I got a preview from a P105 mixshow preview? What tha hell with tha
tongue and fingers shit at 2:10!!! Of course, I’d say, “LOL,” ta that, but I
think a lotta people would be like, “W…T…F…!!!” And, there goes that outro with
tha tongue and fingers shit, again, lol!! My
Rating: 3.2
EDIT: Did a search and
surprisingly, tha featured artist’s Maluca!
21.
AtellaGali feat. Amanda Renee “Dance The Night Away”
Iz
this a funny joke or what? Starting with #14, tha BPM went from 125, to 125, to
125, to 125, to 115, to 110, to 108, to 107!! Like, what tha…, lol? AfterCluv
on tha label, here; who would’ve thought these two would collab again!!!
>>> Really diggin’ tha ‘gettin’ fucked-up’-type lyrics in tha
beginning! Just, why such a slow beat…?! Okay, got a lil’ better with its
build-up kickin’ in at :29… Oh, I ain’t mean to be a bitch and judge tha beat
so fast, based off tha 1st verse! *Slaps himself!* Actually, I just
double-slapped myself!! Feelin’ tha drop; definitely nice! I don’t think
this’ll get out there like tha previous song of theirs… Not to mention, seemed
kinda random when their previous song vanished… I think my brother’s death
kinda spoiled my enjoyment of a lotta songs that were new and released during
that time! Overall, definitely some catchy lyrics, vocals, and this slow beat’s
got me feelin’ like I’m in those cottages you see in tha woods, lol! Definitely
feelin’ that lil’ vocal part at tha final 20 seconds of this! My Rating: 4.5
(wow, I rated it tha same as their previous collab!! Crazy, especially after
this 2nd ½ was startin’ ta be decent!!)
22.
Mike Posner “I Took A Pill In Ibiza (SeeB
Remix)”
And
talk about it slowin’ down even further!! Only 102 BPM?! Ha ha… Island &
Republic Records here, ‘bout ta end this excellent,
but somewhat-weird, PO off!! >>>
Almost thought it wasn’t him, a.k.a. “Cooler Than Me”, here, but I’m diggin’
tha ‘consuming-a-pill’ lyrics, here, especially since it’s that DJ B-Real’s
birthday! He’s one of tha kingz that makes “pill”-related music, so it’s ironic
that we end this PO with a “pill” song! Well,
aside from tha line about “meeting Avicii” or whateva, this iz soundin’ really
interesting! I’m really diggin’ tha beat and addictive, slow-soundin’ sound!!
Also, weird, random lyrics after tha “took a pill…” part; just sounds like a
regularly-soundin’ remix… LOL, this review of mine for this song was all over
tha place! I just randomly picked a part to talk about, without goin’ in
chronological order, lol… Such a random song; gotta luv it!! My Rating: 4.2
Overall: Well, for what was tha
best 1st ½ I’ve had on a PO review
eva, tha 2nd ½ got really weird, especially with a bunch of remixed
songs and odd topics. But, I still definitely enjoyed tha review, especially
that most of tha songs sent me to Outer Space with their sound and all that!!
Definitely loved this edition; keep it rockin’, PO!!
We’d all DIE without you around!! When I was eatin’ my dinner, I
was thinkin’, “If PO ever went, Earth would end!” Like, so many outlets have
left us, sadly, but we must keep PO!! Can’t
believe I’ve been reviewin’ these editions for 9 ½ years, now!! Hope I’m doin’
this till tha day I die!!! Can’t wait for Promo
Only: Dance Radio December 2084!!! Ha ha ha!!!

-----------------------------------
Average CD Rating: 4.2
It
was close, but tha previous CD beat this one by 1.2 points! Prolly could’ve
subtracted some of tha pop remixes! But, very close race to tha top, mainly for
tha Top 2 songs! My Top 3 artists all have “A” in their name!! “A”hh, lol!! I
think I like them both tha same! Really luved tha slow vibes of “In The Air
Tonight”, despite bein’ a remake! And, tha “All In” joint I almost rated a 4.7,
but felt that I liked it slightly better than ATB’s song, so I chose it as #02.
But, definitely a lotta heat on this CD!! Keep it goin’ fa tha 2K16, PO!!
