Tyme
fa anotha edition of Promo Only!! This tyme, it’s Dance Radio June
2025 & I’m thrilled fa my birthday month edition!! Not to mention,
there’s an artist on here that I’m seein’ LIVE, one month today!!
Who iz it?! Where are they?! We’ll see! That goes ta show you tha amount of hype
I have, right nah!! I woulda reviewed this over this past weekend, but I went
to three abandoned areas, durin’ tha night. May 10th marked a whole
entire decade since my brother fatally OD’d! My night of bein’ brave &
adventurous made me realize how much of one of tha best I really am! There’s no
one like me & I will continue to strive on shinin’ with my upbeat
qualities, ya heard me?! Wit that bein’ said, ya heard me?! Tyme ta get in ta
this review, ya heard me?! Start Tyme:
10:44 AM | End Tyme: 12:56 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…

Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas “Blessings”
Label: Columbia
What an awesome combo ta start this birthmonth edition off!! Luv how Clementine continues to dominate tha dance scene &, no surprise, I guessed what tha 1st track on here was, like it was nothin’! It’s a Calvin effect?! Think of how many editions he had tha 1st track on! Tha previous edition, wit tha non-1st “SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY,” can still go “AWAY,” as it don’t sound near as good as this one! Wanted ta add it, but waited fa tha review ta do err-thang at once, ya heard me?! >>> Definitely feelin’ tha 130 BPM energy in tha beginning of tha music startin’ off quiet, with this Clementine soundin’ good… Once tha beats kick in as Clementine continues tha 1st verse, I’m feelin’ it, of course. Luv when tha build-up of tha drop climaxes its way thru, ya heard me?! Reminds me of some song of tha past, tha way tha synths sound! Cool lil’ trance-type of reminder, fa a 2025-type of feel!! Tha 2nd verse keeps tha strength goin’, courtesy of Clementineness, ya heard me?! Alwayz feel tha emotion she brings to tha vocals of these tracks, these dayz! Luv how she’s unstoppable!! “No looking back this time.” Crazy, true, but clarity, ethics & tha truth must still come in ta play, ya heard me?! I still feel haunted, tho I love what life’s bringin’ right nah, ya heard me?! My Rating: 4.7

Clean Bandit x Tiësto x Leony “Tell Me Where U Go”
Label: Arista
Whoa, lil’ daddy!! Caught this one two weeks ago, ya heard me?! What an awesome combo, between CB, Mr. Ësto x Leony!! Of course, durin’ my explorin’ of three abandoned areas durin’ tha night & sunrise of this May 10th that just passed, ya heard me?! I had this track bumpin’ & talk about tha confidence & awesomeness it brought ta me!! Luv that fast intro & talk about preparin’ fa this!! I remember lookin’ at this, like, “An explicit version & 142 BPM?!” Now, on here, a clean version & 142 BPM! So crazy how tha world blends, ya heard me?! Definitely feelin’ how Leony delivers tha 1st verse, all on top of her shit, as alwayz!! Tha chorus definitely awesome, especially when tha climax comes in wit CB’s violin strings & Leony’s vocals!! Then, tha quiet-but-fast drop kicks in & keeps tha awesome sounds goin’!! No wonder why I ain’t have not an ounce of fear & a ton of confidence, at tha three abandoned areas!! Crazy on tha 2nd verse how Leony expresses how eyez view her as, “Like I’m fucked up in tha brain…” People think that of me & it plays wit my self-esteem, at tymes. You already know where my 100.00%ness comes from, ya heard me?! No1 got energy like I do, ya heard me?! Awesome outro, too, as tha intensity makes me give this a ***PERFECT RATING***!! My Current Rating: 5.0

Gorgon City feat. Caroline Byrne “Run It Back”
Label: REALM
S/O ta PO fa now capitalizin’ tha “REALM” in REALM Records, ya heard me? Awesome fa this one & awesome fa how it’s been soundin’, on Diplo’s Revolution! Luv how their previous track, “5AM At Bagley’s”, was one of tha tracks I played behind tha live review scenes & I went down tha road to Centralia’s bottom of tha Abandoned Graffiti Highway. Then, when I went in tha evening, on May 10th, ya heard me? I took tha wrong turn, then remembered by runnin’ “it back” & this track came on! Talk about owin’ memories, ya heard me?! Gotta luv GC’s now-faster house vibes!! Definitely a nice intro that leads into tha 1st verse, with that hyped-up, faster-type of energy!! Definitely luvin’ it & luvin’ life to tha fullest!! Luv tha chorus & how Caroline puts that quieter-vocal energy in to these faster beats! Definitely nice; feelin’ it a lot betta than their previous collab, from last year! Keep ‘em comin’, Caroline!! Keep tha fastness comin’, GC!! Luv tha lil’ drop that continued to tha 2nd verse, still soundin’ awesome with those kicks!! Tha rest of this remains awesome & I’m hoping its success continues, fa tha summer!! My Current Rating: 4.5
04.
Morgin Madison & HILYTE “Carry On”
Label: Enhanced
Alwayz anticipatin’ a new MM track, includin’ tha mystery of this vocalist…! >>> Sounds like it’s gonna be a newly-soundin’ anthem fa tha Enhanced headz!! Definitely feelin’ that it’s anotha female on tha vocals & she sounds pretty awesome, on this MM production!! Tha chorus ain’t too-too bad, ya heard me? Tha drop sounds okay, too; I feel adjusted to it, no matta what. Tha 2nd ½ of tha drop adds more energy & I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Oh wait, even longer than a half!! I take that back!! A 3rd?! Tha 3rd part of tha drop—yep, a 1/3, it iz—sounds awesome with tha vocals!! Definitely nice; can’t say nothin’ negative about this one, ya heard me?! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, too; nothin’ much else ta say but ta enjoy tha upliftin’ vibes ta tha fullest! Tha 2nd drop definitely keeps me upbeat with tha energy it brings!! When I referred to tha drop as 1/3, it technically iz a ½, as I was originally called it. Tha “3rd” part of that reference I made was tha chorus, again… With that bein’ said, awesome job with this one!! Hope it becomes awesome in tha dance world like tha eerie “Take Me”, from my U-Haul tymes & right b4!! My Rating: 4.6
05.
David Guetta x Hypaton x Europe “The Final Countdown”
Label: Epic
Oh, boy, even with tha Epic signing!! Just seems like somethin’ that’s either gonna sound like a gnat in tha way or DG x Hypaton gon really bring 2025 excitement outta Europe, lol… >>> Sounds eerie & weird, but for some reason, I wanna enjoy some of it? Tha 1st verse & chorus was whateva, but tha drop’s pretty nice… I like that it brings that dark-soundin’ house vibe outta Europe, here… Lmao, a 2nd verse included?! Who knew! Alwayz thought that openin’ line to tha 2nd verse, “We’re headed for Venus (Venus)!,” was cheesy, but tha cheese really lets loose! My Rating: 3.9
06.
Dom Dolla & Kid Cudi “Forever”
Label: Three Six Zero/Columbia
Funny ta see this “lonely stoner,” as he said on tha 5/09 edition wit “Day N Nite”, make a new dance collab & anotha Dance Radio edition! With this track, I see this a shorter version than tha original version… Cudi comes thru with tha nostalgia for tha chorus & it ain’t too-too bad… I just don’t get too-too excited ova a new track/dance collab from him, but it’s cool that he shows tha dance world luv, still! “Day N Nite” of really 17 years ago ta now, Mr. Cudi can “stay forever!” Tha music sounds good, includin’ tha “you…” adlibs. Tha other vocalizin’ throughout tha music playin’ iz also nice! “Ohh! Yo-ah-oh!” Cool beanz… Luv him on 132 BPM wit tha D-Dolla! Fastness faster than tha typical 128 BPM makes most people awesome!! This one gives me so much anticipation ta feel like tha artist I’m ***SEEIN’ LIVE***, one month today!! *Frankie’s heart beats…*!! My Current Rating: 4.1
07.
FISHER “Stay”
Label: Catch & Release
His newest… Seen it get out there, but didn’t grab it, right away… >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ house vibe; can appreciate tha energy he brings, in his cool wayz…! Tha drop cool; just a lil’ house track in tha world you can’t deny, I guess…? Not much else ta say, except for a nice job with tha decent energy/vocal-samplin’. My Rating: 3.8
08.
Alex LeMirage “Solana”
Label: Thirty Knots
Whoa @ this!! Luv how I turned it up b4 even pressin’ “play,” ya heard me?! Saw tha 136 BPM & tha Thirty Knots label, as well as this brand-new artist!! Can’t wait ta hear!! Do I shmell a ***PERFECT RATING***?! >>> Definitely luvin’ tha fast start with tha music, already!! Luv that quiet speed!! Ooh, a female, too!! Definitely anticipatin’ this one, to tha fullest!! How can this be this special?!? I can’t believe I can predict perfection!!! I literally just hit my THC vape ‘cause of this!!! *Coughs* Luv tha kicks in tha drop, too!! What awesomeness!! What a surprise!!! Awesome chorus & awesome fast vibe ta embrace!! I can’t believe I called perfection!!! That’s how high I am, lmao!!! Luvin’ tha 2nd verse, too!! Definitely passionate about this one & I wish tha best of luck with my future!! Age 37, next month-&-one-week away!!! Luvin’ tha lil’ bridge part b4 tha 2nd chorus!! Definitely awesomeness!!! I can’t believe how special this one iz!!! I can’t believe music’s gettin’ betta & I’m goin’ to tha U.S. Virgin Islands, next month, durin’ my birthweek!! Fuckin’ 32 dayz away!! This tha music that really makes tha moments of tha U.S. Virgin Islands come ta life, afta Killa McClain canceled his VI trip, last July! I told him, “Lemme host one; it won’t be canceled!” I said that 10 months ago, already!! My birthmonth iz on tha way, ya heard me?! My Rating: 5.0
09.
Victoria Nadine & Kygo “Can’t Get Enough”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
This one’s been out there… I was a lil’ lazy with gettin’ it, but it had ta make a mark in tha dance world! Now, it’s here & I got it, so I’ll show it luv. Found out recently from The Chainsmokers that Victoria’s Kygo’s fiancé; nice…! With that bein’ said, it sounds like tha passion’s cool in tha 1st verse, as well as tha chorus, ya heard me? Tha drop ain’t too-too bad; I like how Kygo can speed it up ta 120, at least! That’s a push in a faster-than-normal perspective, ya heard me?! Definitely a sexy-soundin’ chorus, between tha lyrics & VN’s vocals, here…! My Current Rating: 4.3
10.
RÜFÜS DU SOL “In The Moment (Adriatique Remix Shorter Radio Edit)”
Label: Rose Avenue/Reprise
A new one from them, here… I know of Adriatique from a Gordo track, two years ago (S/O to “With You”)… With that bein’ said, I feel like this gon be smooth or somethin’ chill/only okay… >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ intro fa somethin’ a lil’ slower? I guess it’s that “moment” part that chants, on tha chorus? Sounds cool with tha “RÜFEY,” as I call them, on tha 1st verse’s vocals…! Definitely nice, as tha chorus builds up & delivers! Good job, y’all! Proud of y’all success & all that! “Break My Love”, what a track at Age 36!! These tymes only have one month & one week till they’re closed, ya heard me?! Age 36 to Age 37!! With that bein’ said, ya heard me? Tyme ta progress to tha 2nd verse, here… Sounds nice & hypnotic, as tha track progresses… I like at 2:03, when tha lil’ “bloop” sound or whateva comes in to tha music part… Then, a lil’ bridge from tha RÜFEY, lol? Sounds good; definitely nice, overall… My Rating: 4.2
11.
Chris Lake x Amber Mark “In My Head”
Label: Black Book
Heard a touch of this, as well as seen it out there… Not much of a memory in my brain, just yet; I finna review it… >>> Awesome music start from Mr. Lake, as well as tha chorus from Ms. “HEAT” dayz of Paul Woolford! Sounds okay, basically; just a house track ta stay stuck “in” that “head.” Tha 2nd chorus & tha rest of this ain’t too-too bad… Just an okay track, but we’ll see how much tha dance & Diplo world eats it up… A lot? Prolly. My Rating: 3.7
½tyme: Most of this edition
defines tha power & nostalgia I have with tha world, ya heard me?! I really
feel tha 4.3-rated release, currently, ya
heard me?! Just sounds like such an anticipatin’, euphoria-strikin’ tyme of tha
quality of tha music to my world, ya heard me?! That’s how I define my
100.00%ness & I gon continue it, 24/7/365, ya heard me?!
12.
CYRIL & James Blunt “Tears Dry Tonight”
Label: Spinnin’
Dunno how these two gon collab & sound… When I think of JB, I can’t believe he’s still present in these collabz, 19 years since that one hit, “You’re Beautiful”, struck tha mainstream…! >>> Seems okay, for tha start… I still think Mr. Blunt a cheesehead, as far as tha way he sounds on these dance tracks… Hearin’ tha title part/chorus & really, after all tha “tears” I cried from my mysterious truck accident, I feel like I don’t wanna hear any more about “tears,” ya heard me? I feel like I can move on with tha world with confidence! Not anger or sadness, tho I alwayz feel like an outcast…! With that bein’ said, this mainly just okay. Do people really wanna “kiss in tha sun” ta this one? Gotta get a different pace & vocalist, imo… My Rating: 3.5
13.
Steve Aoki & Öwnboss feat. LeyeT “1-11”
Label:
Dim Mak
Dunno what ta expect, but I’m ready. >>> Didn’t expect a more dance-like sound, here, based off tha start… Likin’ tha female on tha vocals, too… Guess this a surprise to enjoy fa me? Awesome vocals, includin’ that chorus! Sounds like she’s referrin’ to tha tyme bein’ “1:11,” like dat? Anywayz, cool chorus & tha Öwnboss-like drop’s pretty nice, to progress thru… Tha “tyme iz running…” part sounds nice b4 tha 2nd verse, too…! Definitely awesomeness! Tha 2nd drop sounds more clubby… Ehh, a cool lil’ track, overall. My Rating: 4.0
14.
Sammy Virji & Issey Cross “Nostalgia”
Label: Astralwerks/ICLG
O…M…G…!! No less, #14, on a Dance Radio edition, where ***I WILL SEE SV LIVE ON THA 14TH, ONE MONTH TODAY!!!*** With that bein’ said, as far as how this track made me feel on my May 10th triple-adventure, ya heard me?! *Hits THC vape…* Luv tha lyrics from Issey, here; luv how she handles tha pre-chorus, too!! Also, my boy, Sammy, on tha anticipatin’ music durin’ tha 1st verse!! “Take me back, rewind… Got me spinnin’ in nostalgia, turnin’ back in tyme…” Oh, just luv tha chorus & that climax till tha drop hits, ya heard me?! Oh, just luv, luv, luv tha drop & how Sammy brings tha UK pace to tha States, ya heard me?! Tha 2nd verse awesome ta hear, too! Such an awesome combo we didn’t expect ta happen… Well, it definitely did, ya heard me?! I can’t wait ta party wit Sammy, one month today!!! His energy I channel so much & get tha best outta it, ya heard me?! Last year, on tha June edition, he debuted with tha “Summertime Blues” collab & now, he’s got this one on this year’s June edition, fa his 2nd PO appearance! I loved ta death seein’ him at that cave in Pelham, TN, July 19, 2024!! One of tha BEST experiences of my life, ya heard me?!? I honestly, with all my heart & soul, hope fa tha best fa it! Ya heard me?! They, ESPECIALLY Sammy, deserves millionz!!! My Current Rating: 5.0
15.
Sick Individuals x Morgan Page feat. Emery Taylor “Thinkin’ Bout You Now”
Label: Reliant
Alwayz anticipate tha SI tracks, even tho I don’t have tha highest expectations fa a slower vibe… >>> Instant start, here… A male on tha vocals… Seems decent, tho I’m kinda likin’ when tha beats kick in? Dunno about tha chorus. Kinda sounds like a country-type of vocalist? Tha drop sounds a lil’ on tha happier tip? If it was more of an intense drop, I prolly woulda accepted this a lot more, ya heard me? Tha 2nd verse keeps this country-dance vibe goin’… Yep, still don’t like tha “Wake Me Up” vibes of Avicii & Aloe Blacc! My Rating: 3.1
16.
Cash Cash feat. KYLE “Honest”
Label: Ultra
A new Cash Cash one, after they dodged tha year of 2024 & tha truck accident! Now, here’s this… Ultra, huh? Maybe, more dance-y? >>> Surprisingly, yep! Even wit KYLE on tha vocals, here! Definitely cool, between tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse, includin’ tha chorus…! It’s all about tha success of a “promise,” with tha fact of bein’ “Honest,” ya heard me?! Hearin’ tha drop & it’s ehh… Just sounds like a club-jumpa, basically? Nothin’ euphoric, as tha 2nd verse just hops in, here… Neva thought KYLE woulda been somethin’ 12 years after “Hey Now” & almost a decade after that “iSPY” shit, ya heard me? Interestin’ when tha pre-chorus comes in, where tha track spazzes out, fa a lil’… Definitely sounds nice, with tha strong dance beats!! Tha rest of this cool ta enjoy; I’ll give it its props. Now, how will it dominate tha summer world of dance music? My Rating: 4.3
17.
Markus Schulz & Tim Clark feat. Linney “You Belong”
Label: Coldharbour
Despite not goin’ tha fast-fast route like err-body else, I’m definitely diggin’ this trio, here, ya heard me?! Courtesy of tha POOL Player, I got ta enjoy this one a few weeks ago & now, I’m hoping for some awesome exposure within tha dance world, ya heard me?! Tha 1st verse sounds good with tha music soundin’ anticipatin’, especially with how Linney lays it down! I can’t believe it’s gonna be a decade since I first heard Linney, durin’ my live review of tha Diego Moura feat. Linney “Confetti”, from tha Dance Radio September 2015 edition! Definitely nice with how Linney has come a long way, especially with this huge vibe of a climax & chorus hittin’ so hard!! Definitely awesome ta create an anthem, despite bein’ tha regular pace of 128 BPM, here…!! Awesomeness comin’ from tha energy of MS & TC for Linney’s greatness, all over!! Tha lil’ bridge & last chorus hittin’ iz pretty nice, too!! Can’t deny tha energy these three bring to tha table!! Congrats on a decade of Dance Radio, Linney!! Tha decade-old anniversary iz almost here, ya heard me?! My Current Rating: 4.8
18.
Solardo & LOWES “Message In A Bottle”
Label: Ultra
Saw this one out there, recently, ya heard me? Didn’t think it was as catchy as all tha LOWES tracks from 2021, ya heard me? However, I’m glad they’re back & on a Dance Radio edition, again…! >>> Not too-too bad in tha beginning, between LOWES & tha nu-disco sound of Solardo, here…? That’s what it sounds like, in my perspective… Tha “S.O.S.” references remind me of this wantin’ to remake “Message In A Bottle”, from back in tha day. I remember when they did that on Dance Radio in ’06…! April 2006 dayz… With that bein’ said, yea, now that I hear tha lil’ drop part, it references tha title in tha perspective of The Police & all that… Tha rest of this sounds a lil’ eerie with tha vocalizin’, toward tha end… Not really a plus fa me, but I do hope fa more of LOWES, again… My Rating: 3.3
19.
Jules Liesl “Cherry (Mousse T Remix)”
Label: Halogen
Dunno what to expect wit this one, with tha slower vibe & tha throwback remixer… >>> Sounds like a Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, on tha vocals… Guess it’s one of those guilty pleasures that may get made fun of, by tha public? Then again, I think it’s cool, regardless. Just a lil’ slow fa my embracin’, ya heard me? Likin’ tha taste of tha chorus, here; definitely sounds like tha taste of summer…! I’ono about this one, overall… I guess it’s a cool lil’ track, but dunno if it’ll get out there, in tha world. Still, nice ta hear a lil’ Paris Hilton-soundin’ vibe, imo. My Rating: 4.0
20.
PLS&TY & x.o.anne “Leave The Light On”
Label: Dim Mak
A collab I ain’t know was gonna happen, ya heard me? Likin’ PLS&TY & also, likin’, especially from last year’s Hawaii trip & “Free” with TELYKAST, tha sound of x.o.anne… With this one, courtesy of tha POOL Player, ya heard me? It’s not bad; I gotta get used to it more. Like, havin’ “Free” be a definition of Hawaii & “hot like tha summer rain,” like she says here, this one can make a chance for a nostalgic memory, ya heard me?! Tha music sounds nice, once tha chorus kicks in… Not too-too sure how to go with it, but I’m glad it’s faster than tha average song, ta make me appreciate it more. Tha drop a lil’ plain, but it’s a form of progression through life, I guess? Tha 2nd verse ain’t bad… Ms. x.o.anne sounds like a random vocalist fa me, but one I can appreciate it. It’s just, I gotta get used ta hear vibe, sometimes. It’s alwayz upliftin’ in tha end, tho. Likin’ that line, “Palms up to tha sky…” Nice one, x.o.anne! My Current Rating: 4.2
21.
Massano & Braev “Fade Away”
Label: Simulate
Awesome ta hear Massano debut in my life with that “Angel In The Dark” collab from Anyma, himself & Nathan Nicholson, ya heard me?! Sad ta see that track go, ya heard me?! However, awesome memories of tha “dark” & cold, ya heard me? With that bein’ said, ya heard me? Here comes this new one, at only 124 BPM… Wonder how I gon feel? Hope I’m excited, ya heard me?! >>> Sounds like a random male-vocal track, imo… That’s what I think of tha quick start to tha 1st verse & how tha chorus comes in… I’m feelin’ excitement from tha chorus progressin’ with a climax? Luv that it’s not fadin’ “away” & it’s buildin’ up! Sounds like a cool lil’ drop? Sounds like Massano got lessons from Anyma, based off how it sounds? Ehh, we’ll just consider this okay, imo. Tha 2nd verse iz ehh… Can’t really call that one, ya heard me? Just a decent track, overall. Tha 2nd drop sounds a lil’ betta, tho still on its Anyma shit, here… My Rating: 3.6
22.
Seven Lions & Wooli feat. VARGEN “Sunshine”
Label: Ophelia
Endin’ tha edition off with a trap-like track? Dubstep? Sounds like a throwback moment, ya heard me? Not too-too sure how I gon feel, so lemme hear it & find out, ya heard me? >>> Sounds like it wants to be a fast, excitin’-type of track ta end this off?! I definitely want that & can feel that, fa tha future!! Sounds like some good vocals on tha 1st verse, here! Gotta luv tha females!! Luv that pre-chorus, as it gives me a KIDDO vibe!! Oh, tha way tha chorus hits with tha music iz too hard!! Definitely luv all tha energy goin’ on, here!! Now, tha drop hits & tha pace sounds like it’s slower than tha 1st verse… Tha slowness iz ehh, but it’s whateva ‘cause tha track’s pretty nice. I’m likin’ that vocal-chopped shit goin’ on—what it sounds like ta me—on tha 2nd verse/tha transition to tha 2nd verse! Hearin’ tha followin’ chorus & it’s pretty awesome, tha way tha music speeds back up to a 140 BPM-type pace (think: double speed! Double-Tyme)!! Then, tha 2nd drop hits & it’s tha 70 BPM pace, but this 2nd drop has a lil’ more intensity added ta it, ya heard me?! My Rating: 4.4
Overall: Wow, what an edition!!
I’on think I’ve eva had THREE **PERFECT RATING** tracks, eva!!!
What a HUGE experience, overall!! So many awesome tracks ta look
forward to, in tha future!! S/O to that HUGE one I heard fa tha 1st
tyme, on this edition!! Hope girl becomes tha HUGEST star, at some
tyme!!

Average Review Rating: 4.2
Label: Columbia
What an awesome combo ta start this birthmonth edition off!! Luv how Clementine continues to dominate tha dance scene &, no surprise, I guessed what tha 1st track on here was, like it was nothin’! It’s a Calvin effect?! Think of how many editions he had tha 1st track on! Tha previous edition, wit tha non-1st “SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY,” can still go “AWAY,” as it don’t sound near as good as this one! Wanted ta add it, but waited fa tha review ta do err-thang at once, ya heard me?! >>> Definitely feelin’ tha 130 BPM energy in tha beginning of tha music startin’ off quiet, with this Clementine soundin’ good… Once tha beats kick in as Clementine continues tha 1st verse, I’m feelin’ it, of course. Luv when tha build-up of tha drop climaxes its way thru, ya heard me?! Reminds me of some song of tha past, tha way tha synths sound! Cool lil’ trance-type of reminder, fa a 2025-type of feel!! Tha 2nd verse keeps tha strength goin’, courtesy of Clementineness, ya heard me?! Alwayz feel tha emotion she brings to tha vocals of these tracks, these dayz! Luv how she’s unstoppable!! “No looking back this time.” Crazy, true, but clarity, ethics & tha truth must still come in ta play, ya heard me?! I still feel haunted, tho I love what life’s bringin’ right nah, ya heard me?! My Rating: 4.7
Label: Arista
Whoa, lil’ daddy!! Caught this one two weeks ago, ya heard me?! What an awesome combo, between CB, Mr. Ësto x Leony!! Of course, durin’ my explorin’ of three abandoned areas durin’ tha night & sunrise of this May 10th that just passed, ya heard me?! I had this track bumpin’ & talk about tha confidence & awesomeness it brought ta me!! Luv that fast intro & talk about preparin’ fa this!! I remember lookin’ at this, like, “An explicit version & 142 BPM?!” Now, on here, a clean version & 142 BPM! So crazy how tha world blends, ya heard me?! Definitely feelin’ how Leony delivers tha 1st verse, all on top of her shit, as alwayz!! Tha chorus definitely awesome, especially when tha climax comes in wit CB’s violin strings & Leony’s vocals!! Then, tha quiet-but-fast drop kicks in & keeps tha awesome sounds goin’!! No wonder why I ain’t have not an ounce of fear & a ton of confidence, at tha three abandoned areas!! Crazy on tha 2nd verse how Leony expresses how eyez view her as, “Like I’m fucked up in tha brain…” People think that of me & it plays wit my self-esteem, at tymes. You already know where my 100.00%ness comes from, ya heard me?! No1 got energy like I do, ya heard me?! Awesome outro, too, as tha intensity makes me give this a ***PERFECT RATING***!! My Current Rating: 5.0
Label: REALM
S/O ta PO fa now capitalizin’ tha “REALM” in REALM Records, ya heard me? Awesome fa this one & awesome fa how it’s been soundin’, on Diplo’s Revolution! Luv how their previous track, “5AM At Bagley’s”, was one of tha tracks I played behind tha live review scenes & I went down tha road to Centralia’s bottom of tha Abandoned Graffiti Highway. Then, when I went in tha evening, on May 10th, ya heard me? I took tha wrong turn, then remembered by runnin’ “it back” & this track came on! Talk about owin’ memories, ya heard me?! Gotta luv GC’s now-faster house vibes!! Definitely a nice intro that leads into tha 1st verse, with that hyped-up, faster-type of energy!! Definitely luvin’ it & luvin’ life to tha fullest!! Luv tha chorus & how Caroline puts that quieter-vocal energy in to these faster beats! Definitely nice; feelin’ it a lot betta than their previous collab, from last year! Keep ‘em comin’, Caroline!! Keep tha fastness comin’, GC!! Luv tha lil’ drop that continued to tha 2nd verse, still soundin’ awesome with those kicks!! Tha rest of this remains awesome & I’m hoping its success continues, fa tha summer!! My Current Rating: 4.5
Label: Enhanced
Alwayz anticipatin’ a new MM track, includin’ tha mystery of this vocalist…! >>> Sounds like it’s gonna be a newly-soundin’ anthem fa tha Enhanced headz!! Definitely feelin’ that it’s anotha female on tha vocals & she sounds pretty awesome, on this MM production!! Tha chorus ain’t too-too bad, ya heard me? Tha drop sounds okay, too; I feel adjusted to it, no matta what. Tha 2nd ½ of tha drop adds more energy & I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Oh wait, even longer than a half!! I take that back!! A 3rd?! Tha 3rd part of tha drop—yep, a 1/3, it iz—sounds awesome with tha vocals!! Definitely nice; can’t say nothin’ negative about this one, ya heard me?! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, too; nothin’ much else ta say but ta enjoy tha upliftin’ vibes ta tha fullest! Tha 2nd drop definitely keeps me upbeat with tha energy it brings!! When I referred to tha drop as 1/3, it technically iz a ½, as I was originally called it. Tha “3rd” part of that reference I made was tha chorus, again… With that bein’ said, awesome job with this one!! Hope it becomes awesome in tha dance world like tha eerie “Take Me”, from my U-Haul tymes & right b4!! My Rating: 4.6
Label: Epic
Oh, boy, even with tha Epic signing!! Just seems like somethin’ that’s either gonna sound like a gnat in tha way or DG x Hypaton gon really bring 2025 excitement outta Europe, lol… >>> Sounds eerie & weird, but for some reason, I wanna enjoy some of it? Tha 1st verse & chorus was whateva, but tha drop’s pretty nice… I like that it brings that dark-soundin’ house vibe outta Europe, here… Lmao, a 2nd verse included?! Who knew! Alwayz thought that openin’ line to tha 2nd verse, “We’re headed for Venus (Venus)!,” was cheesy, but tha cheese really lets loose! My Rating: 3.9
Label: Three Six Zero/Columbia
Funny ta see this “lonely stoner,” as he said on tha 5/09 edition wit “Day N Nite”, make a new dance collab & anotha Dance Radio edition! With this track, I see this a shorter version than tha original version… Cudi comes thru with tha nostalgia for tha chorus & it ain’t too-too bad… I just don’t get too-too excited ova a new track/dance collab from him, but it’s cool that he shows tha dance world luv, still! “Day N Nite” of really 17 years ago ta now, Mr. Cudi can “stay forever!” Tha music sounds good, includin’ tha “you…” adlibs. Tha other vocalizin’ throughout tha music playin’ iz also nice! “Ohh! Yo-ah-oh!” Cool beanz… Luv him on 132 BPM wit tha D-Dolla! Fastness faster than tha typical 128 BPM makes most people awesome!! This one gives me so much anticipation ta feel like tha artist I’m ***SEEIN’ LIVE***, one month today!! *Frankie’s heart beats…*!! My Current Rating: 4.1
Label: Catch & Release
His newest… Seen it get out there, but didn’t grab it, right away… >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ house vibe; can appreciate tha energy he brings, in his cool wayz…! Tha drop cool; just a lil’ house track in tha world you can’t deny, I guess…? Not much else ta say, except for a nice job with tha decent energy/vocal-samplin’. My Rating: 3.8
Label: Thirty Knots
Whoa @ this!! Luv how I turned it up b4 even pressin’ “play,” ya heard me?! Saw tha 136 BPM & tha Thirty Knots label, as well as this brand-new artist!! Can’t wait ta hear!! Do I shmell a ***PERFECT RATING***?! >>> Definitely luvin’ tha fast start with tha music, already!! Luv that quiet speed!! Ooh, a female, too!! Definitely anticipatin’ this one, to tha fullest!! How can this be this special?!? I can’t believe I can predict perfection!!! I literally just hit my THC vape ‘cause of this!!! *Coughs* Luv tha kicks in tha drop, too!! What awesomeness!! What a surprise!!! Awesome chorus & awesome fast vibe ta embrace!! I can’t believe I called perfection!!! That’s how high I am, lmao!!! Luvin’ tha 2nd verse, too!! Definitely passionate about this one & I wish tha best of luck with my future!! Age 37, next month-&-one-week away!!! Luvin’ tha lil’ bridge part b4 tha 2nd chorus!! Definitely awesomeness!!! I can’t believe how special this one iz!!! I can’t believe music’s gettin’ betta & I’m goin’ to tha U.S. Virgin Islands, next month, durin’ my birthweek!! Fuckin’ 32 dayz away!! This tha music that really makes tha moments of tha U.S. Virgin Islands come ta life, afta Killa McClain canceled his VI trip, last July! I told him, “Lemme host one; it won’t be canceled!” I said that 10 months ago, already!! My birthmonth iz on tha way, ya heard me?! My Rating: 5.0
Label: Casablanca/Republic
This one’s been out there… I was a lil’ lazy with gettin’ it, but it had ta make a mark in tha dance world! Now, it’s here & I got it, so I’ll show it luv. Found out recently from The Chainsmokers that Victoria’s Kygo’s fiancé; nice…! With that bein’ said, it sounds like tha passion’s cool in tha 1st verse, as well as tha chorus, ya heard me? Tha drop ain’t too-too bad; I like how Kygo can speed it up ta 120, at least! That’s a push in a faster-than-normal perspective, ya heard me?! Definitely a sexy-soundin’ chorus, between tha lyrics & VN’s vocals, here…! My Current Rating: 4.3
Label: Rose Avenue/Reprise
A new one from them, here… I know of Adriatique from a Gordo track, two years ago (S/O to “With You”)… With that bein’ said, I feel like this gon be smooth or somethin’ chill/only okay… >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ intro fa somethin’ a lil’ slower? I guess it’s that “moment” part that chants, on tha chorus? Sounds cool with tha “RÜFEY,” as I call them, on tha 1st verse’s vocals…! Definitely nice, as tha chorus builds up & delivers! Good job, y’all! Proud of y’all success & all that! “Break My Love”, what a track at Age 36!! These tymes only have one month & one week till they’re closed, ya heard me?! Age 36 to Age 37!! With that bein’ said, ya heard me? Tyme ta progress to tha 2nd verse, here… Sounds nice & hypnotic, as tha track progresses… I like at 2:03, when tha lil’ “bloop” sound or whateva comes in to tha music part… Then, a lil’ bridge from tha RÜFEY, lol? Sounds good; definitely nice, overall… My Rating: 4.2
Label: Black Book
Heard a touch of this, as well as seen it out there… Not much of a memory in my brain, just yet; I finna review it… >>> Awesome music start from Mr. Lake, as well as tha chorus from Ms. “HEAT” dayz of Paul Woolford! Sounds okay, basically; just a house track ta stay stuck “in” that “head.” Tha 2nd chorus & tha rest of this ain’t too-too bad… Just an okay track, but we’ll see how much tha dance & Diplo world eats it up… A lot? Prolly. My Rating: 3.7
Label: Spinnin’
Dunno how these two gon collab & sound… When I think of JB, I can’t believe he’s still present in these collabz, 19 years since that one hit, “You’re Beautiful”, struck tha mainstream…! >>> Seems okay, for tha start… I still think Mr. Blunt a cheesehead, as far as tha way he sounds on these dance tracks… Hearin’ tha title part/chorus & really, after all tha “tears” I cried from my mysterious truck accident, I feel like I don’t wanna hear any more about “tears,” ya heard me? I feel like I can move on with tha world with confidence! Not anger or sadness, tho I alwayz feel like an outcast…! With that bein’ said, this mainly just okay. Do people really wanna “kiss in tha sun” ta this one? Gotta get a different pace & vocalist, imo… My Rating: 3.5
Dunno what ta expect, but I’m ready. >>> Didn’t expect a more dance-like sound, here, based off tha start… Likin’ tha female on tha vocals, too… Guess this a surprise to enjoy fa me? Awesome vocals, includin’ that chorus! Sounds like she’s referrin’ to tha tyme bein’ “1:11,” like dat? Anywayz, cool chorus & tha Öwnboss-like drop’s pretty nice, to progress thru… Tha “tyme iz running…” part sounds nice b4 tha 2nd verse, too…! Definitely awesomeness! Tha 2nd drop sounds more clubby… Ehh, a cool lil’ track, overall. My Rating: 4.0
Label: Astralwerks/ICLG
O…M…G…!! No less, #14, on a Dance Radio edition, where ***I WILL SEE SV LIVE ON THA 14TH, ONE MONTH TODAY!!!*** With that bein’ said, as far as how this track made me feel on my May 10th triple-adventure, ya heard me?! *Hits THC vape…* Luv tha lyrics from Issey, here; luv how she handles tha pre-chorus, too!! Also, my boy, Sammy, on tha anticipatin’ music durin’ tha 1st verse!! “Take me back, rewind… Got me spinnin’ in nostalgia, turnin’ back in tyme…” Oh, just luv tha chorus & that climax till tha drop hits, ya heard me?! Oh, just luv, luv, luv tha drop & how Sammy brings tha UK pace to tha States, ya heard me?! Tha 2nd verse awesome ta hear, too! Such an awesome combo we didn’t expect ta happen… Well, it definitely did, ya heard me?! I can’t wait ta party wit Sammy, one month today!!! His energy I channel so much & get tha best outta it, ya heard me?! Last year, on tha June edition, he debuted with tha “Summertime Blues” collab & now, he’s got this one on this year’s June edition, fa his 2nd PO appearance! I loved ta death seein’ him at that cave in Pelham, TN, July 19, 2024!! One of tha BEST experiences of my life, ya heard me?!? I honestly, with all my heart & soul, hope fa tha best fa it! Ya heard me?! They, ESPECIALLY Sammy, deserves millionz!!! My Current Rating: 5.0
Label: Reliant
Alwayz anticipate tha SI tracks, even tho I don’t have tha highest expectations fa a slower vibe… >>> Instant start, here… A male on tha vocals… Seems decent, tho I’m kinda likin’ when tha beats kick in? Dunno about tha chorus. Kinda sounds like a country-type of vocalist? Tha drop sounds a lil’ on tha happier tip? If it was more of an intense drop, I prolly woulda accepted this a lot more, ya heard me? Tha 2nd verse keeps this country-dance vibe goin’… Yep, still don’t like tha “Wake Me Up” vibes of Avicii & Aloe Blacc! My Rating: 3.1
Label: Ultra
A new Cash Cash one, after they dodged tha year of 2024 & tha truck accident! Now, here’s this… Ultra, huh? Maybe, more dance-y? >>> Surprisingly, yep! Even wit KYLE on tha vocals, here! Definitely cool, between tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse, includin’ tha chorus…! It’s all about tha success of a “promise,” with tha fact of bein’ “Honest,” ya heard me?! Hearin’ tha drop & it’s ehh… Just sounds like a club-jumpa, basically? Nothin’ euphoric, as tha 2nd verse just hops in, here… Neva thought KYLE woulda been somethin’ 12 years after “Hey Now” & almost a decade after that “iSPY” shit, ya heard me? Interestin’ when tha pre-chorus comes in, where tha track spazzes out, fa a lil’… Definitely sounds nice, with tha strong dance beats!! Tha rest of this cool ta enjoy; I’ll give it its props. Now, how will it dominate tha summer world of dance music? My Rating: 4.3
Label: Coldharbour
Despite not goin’ tha fast-fast route like err-body else, I’m definitely diggin’ this trio, here, ya heard me?! Courtesy of tha POOL Player, I got ta enjoy this one a few weeks ago & now, I’m hoping for some awesome exposure within tha dance world, ya heard me?! Tha 1st verse sounds good with tha music soundin’ anticipatin’, especially with how Linney lays it down! I can’t believe it’s gonna be a decade since I first heard Linney, durin’ my live review of tha Diego Moura feat. Linney “Confetti”, from tha Dance Radio September 2015 edition! Definitely nice with how Linney has come a long way, especially with this huge vibe of a climax & chorus hittin’ so hard!! Definitely awesome ta create an anthem, despite bein’ tha regular pace of 128 BPM, here…!! Awesomeness comin’ from tha energy of MS & TC for Linney’s greatness, all over!! Tha lil’ bridge & last chorus hittin’ iz pretty nice, too!! Can’t deny tha energy these three bring to tha table!! Congrats on a decade of Dance Radio, Linney!! Tha decade-old anniversary iz almost here, ya heard me?! My Current Rating: 4.8
Label: Ultra
Saw this one out there, recently, ya heard me? Didn’t think it was as catchy as all tha LOWES tracks from 2021, ya heard me? However, I’m glad they’re back & on a Dance Radio edition, again…! >>> Not too-too bad in tha beginning, between LOWES & tha nu-disco sound of Solardo, here…? That’s what it sounds like, in my perspective… Tha “S.O.S.” references remind me of this wantin’ to remake “Message In A Bottle”, from back in tha day. I remember when they did that on Dance Radio in ’06…! April 2006 dayz… With that bein’ said, yea, now that I hear tha lil’ drop part, it references tha title in tha perspective of The Police & all that… Tha rest of this sounds a lil’ eerie with tha vocalizin’, toward tha end… Not really a plus fa me, but I do hope fa more of LOWES, again… My Rating: 3.3
Label: Halogen
Dunno what to expect wit this one, with tha slower vibe & tha throwback remixer… >>> Sounds like a Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, on tha vocals… Guess it’s one of those guilty pleasures that may get made fun of, by tha public? Then again, I think it’s cool, regardless. Just a lil’ slow fa my embracin’, ya heard me? Likin’ tha taste of tha chorus, here; definitely sounds like tha taste of summer…! I’ono about this one, overall… I guess it’s a cool lil’ track, but dunno if it’ll get out there, in tha world. Still, nice ta hear a lil’ Paris Hilton-soundin’ vibe, imo. My Rating: 4.0
Label: Dim Mak
A collab I ain’t know was gonna happen, ya heard me? Likin’ PLS&TY & also, likin’, especially from last year’s Hawaii trip & “Free” with TELYKAST, tha sound of x.o.anne… With this one, courtesy of tha POOL Player, ya heard me? It’s not bad; I gotta get used to it more. Like, havin’ “Free” be a definition of Hawaii & “hot like tha summer rain,” like she says here, this one can make a chance for a nostalgic memory, ya heard me?! Tha music sounds nice, once tha chorus kicks in… Not too-too sure how to go with it, but I’m glad it’s faster than tha average song, ta make me appreciate it more. Tha drop a lil’ plain, but it’s a form of progression through life, I guess? Tha 2nd verse ain’t bad… Ms. x.o.anne sounds like a random vocalist fa me, but one I can appreciate it. It’s just, I gotta get used ta hear vibe, sometimes. It’s alwayz upliftin’ in tha end, tho. Likin’ that line, “Palms up to tha sky…” Nice one, x.o.anne! My Current Rating: 4.2
Label: Simulate
Awesome ta hear Massano debut in my life with that “Angel In The Dark” collab from Anyma, himself & Nathan Nicholson, ya heard me?! Sad ta see that track go, ya heard me?! However, awesome memories of tha “dark” & cold, ya heard me? With that bein’ said, ya heard me? Here comes this new one, at only 124 BPM… Wonder how I gon feel? Hope I’m excited, ya heard me?! >>> Sounds like a random male-vocal track, imo… That’s what I think of tha quick start to tha 1st verse & how tha chorus comes in… I’m feelin’ excitement from tha chorus progressin’ with a climax? Luv that it’s not fadin’ “away” & it’s buildin’ up! Sounds like a cool lil’ drop? Sounds like Massano got lessons from Anyma, based off how it sounds? Ehh, we’ll just consider this okay, imo. Tha 2nd verse iz ehh… Can’t really call that one, ya heard me? Just a decent track, overall. Tha 2nd drop sounds a lil’ betta, tho still on its Anyma shit, here… My Rating: 3.6
Label: Ophelia
Endin’ tha edition off with a trap-like track? Dubstep? Sounds like a throwback moment, ya heard me? Not too-too sure how I gon feel, so lemme hear it & find out, ya heard me? >>> Sounds like it wants to be a fast, excitin’-type of track ta end this off?! I definitely want that & can feel that, fa tha future!! Sounds like some good vocals on tha 1st verse, here! Gotta luv tha females!! Luv that pre-chorus, as it gives me a KIDDO vibe!! Oh, tha way tha chorus hits with tha music iz too hard!! Definitely luv all tha energy goin’ on, here!! Now, tha drop hits & tha pace sounds like it’s slower than tha 1st verse… Tha slowness iz ehh, but it’s whateva ‘cause tha track’s pretty nice. I’m likin’ that vocal-chopped shit goin’ on—what it sounds like ta me—on tha 2nd verse/tha transition to tha 2nd verse! Hearin’ tha followin’ chorus & it’s pretty awesome, tha way tha music speeds back up to a 140 BPM-type pace (think: double speed! Double-Tyme)!! Then, tha 2nd drop hits & it’s tha 70 BPM pace, but this 2nd drop has a lil’ more intensity added ta it, ya heard me?! My Rating: 4.4
