Been
on tha move a lot, as I’ve been tryna enjoy my weekends with tha fall foliage approaching.
It’s tyme for Promo Only Dance Radio November 2021 & it looks
like a dope edition! I remember tha last November edition, where I did it live
with tha fall foliage in full effect. This year, it seems like it’s a lil’
delayed & this edition’s a lil’ earlier than last year’s. With that bein’
said, I’m just gonna get inta this; let tha colors & tymes shine!! Start Tyme: 4:12 PM | End Tyme: 6:09 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…

TELYKast with Sam Gray “Unbreakable”
Label: TELYKast
Kickin’ off with tha TELYKasters, for this edition… Glad to see their “Nobody To Love” track get good recognition, throughout this year! As far as this track, it’s a decent lil’ male-vocal track. I mean, I do like it better than Sam’s appearance on tha February 2021 edition with tha “Say Hello” collab. I liked that one a lil’ more on tha 1st listen, due to Riddler bein’ on tha mix. With this, this sounds like a grower track; feelin’ tha strong chorus & slappy drop. I just originally thought tha verses were a lil’ dry & this tha 1st tyme I’m hearin’ a full-on male vocal on a TELYKast track. They previously had ½ of a full-on with Khalid, two editions ago. With that bein’ said, I’ll give this one slightly more props & now, we’ll see if it can break into my playlist. My Current Rating: 4.0

Afrojack, Lucas & Steve x DubVision “Anywhere With You”
Label: Spinnin’
A triple threat, here? Hope so; hope it’s tha next big anthem for tha fall? That’s what I’m feelin’ when I see this…! >>> For tha mysterious male on tha vocals, here, they sound like they deliver a catchy flow with tha chorus…! Hearin’ tha pre-drop & drop…; sounds nice & anthemic, in a mainstream-dance way. I’ll give it a good amount of props, due to its progressive-housey-type of vibe…! My Rating: 4.4

York & Au/Ra “Golden Hour”
Label: Enhanced
Awesome way of connectin’, here, but not just on an ordinary level. Between last year, on September 5th & beyond, I got to know & met up with daddy/son combo artists from Louisiana ([] & CartelBoy Teezy). As I just was with them on September 25th & 26th, soon after comes this track & like [] says, “Factz.” Well, “factz” iz RIGHT ‘cause one of tha Yorkers iz daddy of Au/Ra, which iz awesome, x2! Neva imagined they were related but it’s such an awesome relation!! Not only this fact but my very-first year-end countdown from 2000, in January 2001, was still tha most-recent tyme York were on there (“On The Beach”); crazy? A 21-year comeback?! CartelBoy Teezy & Au/Ra weren’t even born, yet, lol! With that bein’ said, awesome lil’ dance/house vibe for creating a “Golden Hour” of awesome moments!! Tha combination of tha awesome, upbeatness in tha music & Au/Ra’s confident vibe makes this for an awesome collab! Power to tha daughter-daddy collab! Like, back on tha May 2010 edition, daughters-daddy collaborators, Gaia & Luna, as well as Ago, all contributed to their track, “Give It Up”. However, with “Golden Hour”, this tha 1st tyme it’s credited in a way that represents both daddy-[kid] on tha ID! “Factz!” Gotta luv tha awesome gold this track’s vibes bring to tha mind & way to believe in tha future!! My Current Rating: 4.9
04.
Yves V x CORSAK x Leony “Where Do You Think You Are Going”
Label: Liquid State
Bring it on! What will come outta this new collab…?! >>> For some reason, I’ono why, but I ain’t expect tha female & instant start! Definitely sounds awesome & progresses awesomely! Definitely feelin’ it! I feel like it’s like a StoneBridge-soundin’ production on tha chorus/drop! Awesome sawce! Pre-chorus goes hard, as it leads into tha chorus, especially on tha 2nd tyme! Didn’t get to say a whole lot but I just took tha track in, as much as possible! Glad I did; no filler!! My Rating: 4.8
05.
Warren “Dream About U”
Label: Robbins
A new Robbins track that’s been gettin’ out there. Though already broken into my playlist, I only think it’s an okay song, so far. Nothin’ on a bad side but I’ono, maybe, it’s a hidden chick on tha vocals? That adjective: “hidden”; it has an effect & affects my perspective of tha track, at tymes. Like, I always like to put a face with an ID; that’s how I look at it. Tha mainstream need to show luv all tha way! With that bein’ said, this may be a grower track, maybe? I’ll let it rake up some spins for now & we’ll see how it progresses, throughout tha fall. My Current Rating: 3.9
06.
Fred again.. “Billie (Loving Arms)”
Label: Atlantic
Likin’ this Diplo’s Revolution-discovering Fred dude…! Though already dance vs. dance-remade by Karen Overton for 15 summers ago, here comes Fred’s version. I have to say, I like tha vibe he brings to tha “Billie [Ray Martin]” ‘90s track, into his own vibe. Sometymes, tha remakes that go in certain wayz, vs. covers, make for better odds to catch on more, if artists go this route in dance music. Needless to say, lol @ tha “play that shit…” part at 2:51! It’s like Fred don’t want these “arms” to let go! That’s a good vibe, basically, to keep tha faith & continuing! Props for tha upbeatness & revivin’ tha “Billie” track! I wonder how much bigger this track’ll get, later on? My Current Rating: 4.3
07.
tyDi x Electric Polar Bears feat. neverwaves “You Never Know”
Label: Relentless Beats
I hope this anotha awesome collab, too! Luvin’ tha strength of today’s three-artist collabz, when done right! Can’t wait ta hear what tha three of these peeps got, includin’ tha newbie for me (neverwaves)!! >>> Sounds like a good lil’ male-vocal dance track; I give tha energy props. Sounds like a good lil’ anthemic vibe in tha drop; good thinkin’ with tha “oh-oh-oh”s! I’ono how this one’ll do in tha dance world, tho; tha previous EPB single didn’t get out there, on my outlets… Who knows, tho; tha luck’s with me, I feel like, as far as tha better songs gettin’ tha better pushes, today… My Rating: 4.2
08.
Ofenbach feat. Ella Henderson “Hurricane”
Label: Big Beat/EMG
Ofenbach are more known for just okay 1st-listens but with this one, it sounds like it takes over their catalog by their own tropical storm, here! Meaning, I feel like these two did an awesome job together, here! Definitely on tha perfection level, especially that pre-chorus!! Funny ‘cause it goes with tha vape pen: “I’m counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…!” Yeah, by tha seconds of holding! Crazy ‘cause that’s my favorite part of this song ‘cause Ella holds it down with tha vocals!! Definitely a pure collab & how they put this one together!! Glad Music Choice Dance iz on this one & I hope it gets to be big in tha dance world—any world, basically! Tha grind at tha full-tyme be havin’ my mind so active that my “mind” be spinning just “like a hurricane!!” I guess that’s how you continue to make your brain active, just like mine, where I remember artist, title, mix, label & BPMs off tha top of my head, while I play each song? Magic powers? Been 15 years strong! As far as Ofenbach on their strong route with Ella, I think it’s definitely one of tha more special ones & I hope they continue to go with this vibe. So glad we still got tha strong female vocals in this world, today; gots to! My Current Rating: 🔥 🔥 🔥 5.0 🔥 🔥 🔥
09.
Alesso & Marshmello feat. James Bay “Chasing Stars (VIP Remix Edit)”
Label: 10:22pm/Astralwerks/Capitol
This one returns; hmm… >>> Still seems like an okay track with not much to catch on to with… Tha drop seems a lil’ too deepy, at first, which seems a lil’ sappy for a VIP Remix, ya heard? My Rating: 3.3
10.
Mahalo “Nothing Matters”
Label: Enhanced
Just like how I felt with tha Warren track, tha “hidden” vocal vibe these artists go with “matters” to me, imo. As far as this track, tha music ain’t really too special for a Mahalo-based production. I’ve felt more of his vibes in tha past, such as “Not Watching Anymore” & “So Cold”. Vocals are a lil’ on tha soulful side for me & nothin’ shines that much on this track. Not terrible but just closer to tha decent side, imo. My Current Rating: 2.9
½tyme: Sounds like a bunch of
strong highlights, especially with those that are already out—“OUT-OUT,” as JC,
JJ, CXCX & S would say, lol! A 4.2-rated
release, currently; awesome start…! Let’s see what remains & how it will
turn up or down tha edition…!
11.
Lena Leon x Disco Fries “Borderline”
Label: Spinnin’
I’m expectin’ somethin’ huge with this one! Will my expectations be too high? H…m…m.. … >>> A cool lil’ start; nice chorus with this “Borderline” way of livin’! Gotta enjoy, imo, tha warm weather & atmospheres! Tha drop part’s pretty catchy with those vocal-chops! Cool effect for this collab! Hearin’ tha verse & it sounds good with tha vocals, at tymes; needless to say, dope collab! My Rating: 4.4
12.
DJ Licious feat. Armen Paul “Hope”
Label: Robbins
Mighta heard a snippet of this on Beta BPM…; may only be another okay track… >>> I know of one DJ Licious track from Music Choice Lounge, on tha MC app; it’s sappy & played too much on there. However, since I based my expectations off that for this, at least this iz better. These male vocals are a lil’ on tha interesting side, especially durin’ tha chorus. Definitely likin’ tha continuous way tha title iz said, in a choir-like form! I’ll give this one a lil’ more props, due to tha catchiness of tha chorus; “Hope” it makes noise in tha world! My Rating: 4.5
13.
Eli & Fur “Come Back Around”
Label: Anjunadeep
Looks awesome that this one’s gettin’ out there on this edition. Heard this on Electro 15 b4 tha summer started & it gives me a good reminder of me filmin’ a bunch of my recently-released music videoz! I’m likin’ this new edit, with tha intro! Cool shit…! As far as tha track, I’m feelin’ these two with their vocals, music & catchiness of tha song, overall! All tha way round, too! Definitely a plus with tha added music; makes tha song less repetitive & averages it out more! My Current Rating: 4.7
14.
Paul Oakenfold & Aloe Blacc “I’m In Love”
Label: Perfecto
Anotha one str8 from tha BPM shows… I know Mr. Oakenfold has always been versatile with his sound/tracks for decades but this one’s a too-dry approach, imo. Not tha craziest about Mr. Aloe & tha slower beats don’t do me no justice. Some of tha sounds are cool for tha dance world & its mainstream. However, like, with tha songs he released three & four years ago, those sounded a lot better but coulda been recognized a lot more. As this track goes on with tha bridge, all that savin’ iz a lil’ ehh… I went thru tha POOL last week & grabbed tha Nat Monday Remix because of its faster, trancey vibe. Luckily, that separates itself from bein’ on tha dry level as tha orig.! I may not be fuckin’ wit da orig. but if it gets tha “bigger” push, hopefully, it’ll get Mr. Oakenfold back to more success…! Success for future-future bangerz, at an ageless tyme! My Current Rating: 2.3
15.
Joel Corry x Jax Jones feat. Charli XCX & Saweetie “OUT-OUT (VIP Remix
Edit)”
Label: Big Beat/EMG
From tha ***PERFECT RATING*** appearance that kicked off tha last edition, here comes a remix. Not that I think it needed a remix but a 2nd appearance iz like brownie points. Likin’ tha upbeat vibes, tho they’re more cool than special, like how tha original’s sounds/vibe went. Either way, guess this tha mixshow vibe of today? Also, lol @ Saweetie only havin’ four words on this appearance: “DJ, run it back!” At least she had four words, unlike tha rapless tymes of tha past, in tha dance world! My Current Rating: 4.4
16.
Riton x RAYE “I Don’t Want You”
Label: Ministry Of Sound/RCA
How will this do from “Friday”? I see tha others from “Friday” all went on a “Holiday” route with their follow-up? Don’t think that one’s goin’ anywhere. As far as Riton with RAYE, here, I’m feelin’ how they combine their catchiness to tha track, altogether! Definitely catchy sounds used by Mr. Riton & RAYE knows how ta hold tha vocals down, on tha chorus! Mimickin’ tha catchiness of Riton!! Also, cool how she sounds like she spits tha rhymes in a different flow! It’s all about tha multi-flow in this music game, these dayz! Gotta have multiple perspectives on tha track! Real ones, of course! Makin’ me think of tha old MTV dayz with that “pimp my ride” line, like “Pimp My Ride”…! My Current Rating: 4.5
17.
Rompasso & Imanbek feat. Karma Child “123 (Dolly Song)”
Label: disco:wax/No3/One Seven
I think I caught this one on one of tha shows, recently, as well… Remakin’ tha “Dolly Song” from my dayz at college? Weird ta know that there would still be interest in that Doll that I knew 14 years ago! >>> Hearin’ it in its entirety & tha vibe sounds good, on tha 1st verse. Sounds like a completely different track till tha chorus comes. Now, hearin’ tha chorus & I can tell tha “Dolly Song” rhythm iz there! Also, this Karma Child gives me some good Gia Koka vibes, with her voice; definitely good channeling of energy! Awesome for a Doll! Hearin’ tha drop, too & it sounds pretty slap-dry, tha way a slap-house track would sound. However, when tha sounds start expandin’ later on, it adds, like, sugar to tha taste of how I feel about tha track. Just like Riton x RAYE’s track, awesome multi-flown vocals! My Rating: 4.4
18.
Syn Cole “Drift”
Label: Spinnin’
Let’s see how Mr. Syn’ll come thru with this “Drift”… >>> Sounds like a decent lil’ house vibe; sounds like it’s remakin’ somethin’? Tha “I’ve got tha feeling” part sounds like somethin’ I’ve heard, previously. Tha music ain’t too bad but sounds sunshiney, lol. Just a quick lil’ vibe to vibe out to, basically? Not bad, through & through. My Rating: 3.8
19.
Shimza feat. Maleh “Fight To Love (Louie Vega Expansions NYC Edit)”
Label: Kunye
Anticipatin’ tha NYC Editness, here. I thought when I seen tha NYC Edit part appear on this edition that it was gon be, like, a 130 BPM track. That was where my mind went with tha NYC but if it’s 122, does that mean we’re goin’ tha freestyle route? >>> Threw me off from my anticipation, since it’s more on a deep-soundin’ vibe. Hearin’ tha female vocals & they sound like a cool chick from tha NYC. It’s like a good lil’ dose of early ‘00s with tha R&Bness. Hearin’ tha chorus & it blends nicely with tha 1st verse. For tha longest track on here at 4:07, it seems like it drags a lil’ too long. Tha song has some good qualities to it but not enough energy in tha music or vocals to keep my interest that long. My Rating: 3.5
20.
Senhit feat. Flo Rida “Adrenalina (Steve Aoki Remix)”
Label: Subside
Not too sure about how I gon feel with this one… >>> Sounds okay, for a start… Tha chorus made me feel like this chick was gon remind me of Kat DeLuna? Just tha flow & vibe she brings, here. Hearin’ tha chorus & it’s pretty anthemic. Also, tha drop’s pretty addictive-soundin’! Definitely feelin’ tha catchiness, in a unique way! Like, think: A decade ago, at this tyme, we had a different Florida rapper on a unique track: Pitbull, when Havana Brown made her PO debut with “We Run The Night (Remix)”; awesomeness! Can’t believe that’s a whole decade ago, already! I still chase that same dream of those tymes! For 2021, I’m glad we got that interestin’ catchiness, here; go, “Adrenalina”! My Rating: 4.3
21.
HALIENE “Glass Heart (Lost Heroes Remix)”
Label: Black Hole
One of those recently-released tracks on BPM, to close this edition off… I always associate HALIENE with a vocal-trance sound; when I hear these slower vibes from her, it doesn’t 100% hit tha same. I mean, they’re cool in their own way but not enough energy, at tymes. Re-hearin’ tha chorus part & it’s nice, especially with these lyrics; tha drop sounds good for a 75-paced track, too. Overall, this remix gives off a cool lil’ trap vibe, imo; not too bad, overall. My Current Rating: 4.2
Overall: Sounded like a nice
edition, here; lots of power when power’s been due! Awesome to feel like November
gon be a dope month! Props to all tha good vibes! Edition was lit—our dance
world gon be/continue ta be lit, throughout this season!

Label: TELYKast
Kickin’ off with tha TELYKasters, for this edition… Glad to see their “Nobody To Love” track get good recognition, throughout this year! As far as this track, it’s a decent lil’ male-vocal track. I mean, I do like it better than Sam’s appearance on tha February 2021 edition with tha “Say Hello” collab. I liked that one a lil’ more on tha 1st listen, due to Riddler bein’ on tha mix. With this, this sounds like a grower track; feelin’ tha strong chorus & slappy drop. I just originally thought tha verses were a lil’ dry & this tha 1st tyme I’m hearin’ a full-on male vocal on a TELYKast track. They previously had ½ of a full-on with Khalid, two editions ago.

Luckily, that separates itself from bein’ on tha dry level as tha orig.! I may not be fuckin’ wit da orig. but if it gets tha “bigger” push, hopefully, it’ll get Mr. Oakenfold back to more success…! Success for future-future bangerz, at an ageless tyme! My Current Rating: 2.3

From tha ***PERFECT RATING*** appearance that kicked off tha last edition, here comes a remix. Not that I think it needed a remix but a 2nd appearance iz like brownie points. Likin’ tha upbeat vibes, tho they’re more cool than special, like how tha original’s sounds/vibe went. Either way, guess this tha mixshow vibe of today? Also, lol @ Saweetie only havin’ four words on this appearance: “DJ, run it back!” At least she had four words, unlike tha rapless tymes of tha past, in tha dance world! My Current Rating: 4.4

How will this do from “Friday”? I see tha others from “Friday” all went on a “Holiday” route with their follow-up? Don’t think that one’s goin’ anywhere. As far as Riton with RAYE, here, I’m feelin’ how they combine their catchiness to tha track, altogether! Definitely catchy sounds used by Mr. Riton & RAYE knows how ta hold tha vocals down, on tha chorus! Mimickin’ tha catchiness of Riton!! Also, cool how she sounds like she spits tha rhymes in a different flow! It’s all about tha multi-flow in this music game, these dayz! Gotta have multiple perspectives on tha track! Real ones, of course! Makin’ me think of tha old MTV dayz with that “pimp my ride” line, like “Pimp My Ride”…! My Current Rating: 4.5

I think I caught this one on one of tha shows, recently, as well… Remakin’ tha “Dolly Song” from my dayz at college? Weird ta know that there would still be interest in that Doll that I knew 14 years ago! >>> Hearin’ it in its entirety & tha vibe sounds good, on tha 1st verse. Sounds like a completely different track till tha chorus comes. Now, hearin’ tha chorus & I can tell tha “Dolly Song” rhythm iz there! Also, this Karma Child gives me some good Gia Koka vibes, with her voice; definitely good channeling of energy! Awesome for a Doll! Hearin’ tha drop, too & it sounds pretty slap-dry, tha way a slap-house track would sound. However, when tha sounds start expandin’ later on, it adds, like, sugar to tha taste of how I feel about tha track. Just like Riton x RAYE’s track, awesome multi-flown vocals! My Rating: 4.4

Let’s see how Mr. Syn’ll come thru with this “Drift”… >>> Sounds like a decent lil’ house vibe; sounds like it’s remakin’ somethin’? Tha “I’ve got tha feeling” part sounds like somethin’ I’ve heard, previously. Tha music ain’t too bad but sounds sunshiney, lol. Just a quick lil’ vibe to vibe out to, basically? Not bad, through & through. My Rating: 3.8

Anticipatin’ tha NYC Editness, here. I thought when I seen tha NYC Edit part appear on this edition that it was gon be, like, a 130 BPM track. That was where my mind went with tha NYC but if it’s 122, does that mean we’re goin’ tha freestyle route? >>> Threw me off from my anticipation, since it’s more on a deep-soundin’ vibe. Hearin’ tha female vocals & they sound like a cool chick from tha NYC. It’s like a good lil’ dose of early ‘00s with tha R&Bness. Hearin’ tha chorus & it blends nicely with tha 1st verse. For tha longest track on here at 4:07, it seems like it drags a lil’ too long. Tha song has some good qualities to it but not enough energy in tha music or vocals to keep my interest that long. My Rating: 3.5
Label: Subside
Not too sure about how I gon feel with this one… >>> Sounds okay, for a start… Tha chorus made me feel like this chick was gon remind me of Kat DeLuna? Just tha flow & vibe she brings, here. Hearin’ tha chorus & it’s pretty anthemic. Also, tha drop’s pretty addictive-soundin’! Definitely feelin’ tha catchiness, in a unique way! Like, think: A decade ago, at this tyme, we had a different Florida rapper on a unique track: Pitbull, when Havana Brown made her PO debut with “We Run The Night (Remix)”; awesomeness! Can’t believe that’s a whole decade ago, already! I still chase that same dream of those tymes! For 2021, I’m glad we got that interestin’ catchiness, here; go, “Adrenalina”! My Rating: 4.3

One of those recently-released tracks on BPM, to close this edition off… I always associate HALIENE with a vocal-trance sound; when I hear these slower vibes from her, it doesn’t 100% hit tha same. I mean, they’re cool in their own way but not enough energy, at tymes. Re-hearin’ tha chorus part & it’s nice, especially with these lyrics; tha drop sounds good for a 75-paced track, too. Overall, this remix gives off a cool lil’ trap vibe, imo; not too bad, overall. My Current Rating: 4.2
