01.
Hot Rod Feat. Milana Leybovich & Tommy Beringer “Dance With Me”
I
wonder what dis iz, especially wit 134 BPM on this mix…? I’m not 100% sure who
this artist iz…; are they Pop related? Alternative? Urban? Maybe a combo of tha
three? I have an idea but don’t wanna say ‘til I hear… >>> LOL, tha
start makes me think a lil’ of tha Urban that I was thinkin’ of; I could’ve
sworn this dude, which was what I was gonna say, was wit 50 Cent’s G-Unit
Records years ago? Anyway, tha beat may be really nice but if it’s tha kinda
Rap music dat pissed me off recently, it’s this kind wit dat stupid-ass
Auto-Tune in their voices. Tha chorus sounds good wit tha girl but how random
of dis to be remixed/here? Even tha lyrics are gay for me. I may only like this
a lil’ ‘cause of it havin’ a mix like
this—that’s it. But, I have to
deduct ‘cause of how tha lyrics/vocals/etc. sound. My Rating: 3.0
EDIT: Did a PO
search and yea, I believe this iz tha G-Unit-related one, lol. I wasn’t sure at
first ‘cause I didn’t even know what that label was that he was signed to…
Also, it’s an original version, not a Smash Mode Radio Edit. And, tha features
are Milana Leybovich & Tommy Beringer.
02.
Lady GaGa “Born This Way”
I
usually don’t like seein’ original versions of someone like GaGa on this CD
compilation, but I have ta say, this iz a good comeback for her, especially wit
all her expressions and hot Dance-Pop beat! People say this sounds like Madonna
“Express Yourself”; I don’t hear anything similar… My Current Rating: 4.2
03.
Milk & Sugar vs. Vaya Con Dios “Hey (Nah Neh Nah) (WaWa Radio Edit)”
Gotta
luv tha ID and MCD’s on this in a pretty-good way! I still feel like this iz
tha official listen for me, even though I heard it a few times on there since
yesterday. Soundin’ a lil’ different for WaWa on tha beat but, as always, tha
anticipation’s pretty nice, here. My
Current Rating: 4.4
04.
Rihanna “S&M (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
I
dunno why but this has a lil’ bit of a catch for me; maybe it’s tha catchy,
repetitive chorus wit this DA beat? I dunno but lol @ her “steppin’-up-in-her-sex-game”
act, here. My Current Rating: 4.0
05.
Magnetic Man Feat. Katy B “Perfect Stranger”
Here’s
tha really-fast song and yea, I’m glad ta hear somethin’ like dis! I saw dat
MCE got this and yea, sounds more like them, in a special way, on a Breakbeat
kinda style. Shit, this reminds me of some of tha older, fast music that we
haven’t had in a long-ass time. I guess Britney Spears “Hold It Against Me” iz
givin’ shit like this a chance? Even signed wit mainstream label Columbia
Records; I think we’re about to evolve for 2011 and beyond!! Definitely some
really catchy vocals, here, and you know
this shit’s what’s up!! My Rating: 4.7
06.
Maniacalm Feat. Lala “I Miss You (Damian Major Radio Edit)”
It
was good seein’ them at Megajam ’10, especially tha hot Lala! As far as this bein’ a follow-up song on Next Plateau
(instead of their previous Red Stick Recordings release), I think this iz only
aight and a lil’ boring/slow. Plus, I don’t see tha need to recycle tha “get
you—get you—get you out my mind” shit from “Never Forget You”; a lil’
“stuck-on-tha-one-song”ish? My Current
Rating: 3.7
07.
Katy Perry “E.T. (Tiësto Remix Radio Edit)”
I
read dat tha original version samples tha beginning sound of t.A.T.u. “All The
Things She Said”. Even though I thought that was a lil’ bit of a rip-off, will
Tiësto give it a nice, Trance-soundin’ feel fa only 130? >>> I feel
tha hotness in tha beginning; good thing I pointed out some anticipation! I
like how she sings this and I like tha lil’ intermission between tha chorus of
dat hot music! Now, it jumped to tha 1st verse—well, mixed. LOL,
just, skipped through tha 1st verse but I like her “dimension” part
and tha chorus, itself. Definitely a different kinda remix compared to most of
tha HMs you usually hear; glad they went a full-Dance vibe, here! Definitely a nice example of kick-assness!! My Rating: 4.3
08.
Wendel Kos Feat. Andrea Holley “Dancing On The Lights”
>>>
Listening to it, quickly, without checkin’ tha ID. So far, it sounds pretty hot
and like an upgraded-soundin’ Bimbo Jones beat; wonder what this iz… Thought it
sounded familiar but lemme check tha ID, now. *Checks ID* Oh, neva heard but
you know a Robbins song/artist like this iz anticipatin’! For official
feedback, I have ta say that I’m glad there’s kick-ass-soundin’ songs like
this, and so many of ‘em, it looks like! My
Rating: 4.1
09.
Alexandra Stan “Mr. Saxobeat”
Neva heard this before; an Ultra song? Let’s
see what we got, as I predict this’ll be pretty catchy… >>> Even
though I neva heard, tha beginning sounds familiar and sounds a lil’ Romanian,
I think? Ooh, tha vocals came in and they’re soundin’ hot and Romanian!! :)
What a turn on, here!! That means, at least two Romanian people are on this
CD!! What a mega plus!! Even some
male vocals sneakin’ in as background; interestin’… Keep tha Romanian
songs/artists comin’ along; they’re tha kinda songs I neva wanna take off my playlist, as I feel they have everlasting
lives!! My Rating: 4.6
10.
Kris Menace Feat. Emil “Walking On The Moon (Shorter Radio Edit)”
Fa’real?
Why
would anyone wanna cover this song, especially within only two years??? Who
would’ve seen this comin’, especially for Nervous to sign? Tha original artist
iz R&B artist/songwriter The-Dream, wit tha same title, released in 2009. In
2010, MCE got an MCE-soundin’ cover of one of his previous songs in ’09,
“Rockin’ That Thang”. Now, a year later, tha Dance world covers anotha song of
his—this, lol. It doesn’t really make a difference fa me, since I wasn’t crazy
about tha original version… Might just throw this in ignored rotation… My Current Rating: 3.6
½time: 4.1, so far; pretty good. Shit, I
wonder what’s left?
11.
Alex Lamb Feat. Christina Skaar “Freedom”
MCD,
outta nowhere, must luv this song!
They played it 3x yesterday; quite uncommon for a Dance song! This iz only 96
BPM? I think that’s gotta be an error, PO; thought there would be a lot of
low/weird AL
fa this, signed wit Next Plateau, too. I think this iz pretty hot; very hot,
consistent beat wit those positive
vocals ta help it, too. Okay, I just scanned it and it’s 128; damn, PO! I originally thought we were in for somethin’ really
strange, lol. My Current Rating: 4.2
12.
Alexis Jordan “Good Girl (Freemasons Radio Edit)”
Speakin’
of “Shorter Radio Edit” from tha “Walking On The Moon” song, this, actually, iz
a shorter RE of tha original FM mix, 4:13 on tha length. Regardless, hot beat
and I’m about 50/50 wit tha lyrics and shit. I really like how she delivers tha
chorus and tha verses sound a lil’ borderline/Urban, at times. Overall, tha
beat grabs you and makes it hella catchy, at times! My Current Rating: 4.1
13.
Britney Spears “Hold It Against Me (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)”
Part
1 of 2 of tha songs that didn’t need a remix; do I have ta hear? >>>
Boring, typical beat sound; are they tryin’ to be like tha Dance people that
produce dat same beat? On Dance artists, it doesn’t sound Dancey but on HMs,
they had ta make it a touch Dancey? I
would say, this iz good for, like, a mixshow; that’s as far as it should go,
lol. My Rating: 3.3
14.
Jennifer Lopez Feat. Pitbull “On The Floor (Ralphi’s Jurty Clean Radio)”
Part
2 of 2 of tha songs that didn’t need a remix; however, I think this’ll definitely be better than Britney!
>>> Tha beginning sounds too dry; hope tha “Lambada” music comes out,
since I thought I heard this in a MC mix… Well, tha music ain’t changin’; smh,
Ralphi… I thought you were real good
at remixin’? :? I hate ta say, but Britney won, in my case. Even worse:
Pitbull’s parts (except tha background vocals) are taken out; bad luck for him
in tha #14 spot once again on PO (same happened in December ‘09’s PO). ROFL,
this went from best PO song on tha last CD and
now, tha worst one. My Rating: 2.6
15.
Negin “Unexpected”
Finally,
somethin’ normal. MCD got this yesterday and it sounded pretty hot! Anotha new
song from Robbins! Lemme give it a review… >>> Sounds hot and tha
vocals have dat Robbins feel to it. Tha music sounds hot and it’s good dat MCD
would get a Robbins song this fast! Tha music’s definitely nice in tha chorus and, just, tha whole song sounds hot!
:tu My Current Rating: 4.3
16.
Elena Gheorghe “Disco Romancing (Remix)”
3:29
on tha length? Tha description said, “3:12” (original version) but I think
that’s ‘cause it leaked on a different PO (tha
“Express Audio” one). That means, this iz tha remix? *Listens* Shit yea, it
iz!! Adds tha big touch of Romanian
honey (lol) to tha not-too-Romanian original version. There was a lot of
confusion wit this artist. For a second, I thought it was tha group Elena (Robbins
Ent.) (from “Before I Sleep” (April ’08 PO)), no less from Romania. But, it’s a sexy female
called Elena Gheorghe (Ultra Records), also from Romania, lol. LOL, I guess that’s
why tha Elena group was called “DJ Project”, originally. Anyway, wit tha song,
of course, tha hot, Romanian feel to it. Surprised MCD got this and beasts it
in a great way, knowin’ they ignored
a bunch of great Romanian songs since
“Hot” and “Stereo Love”, prolly tha only two Romanian MCD songs in tha
’09-and-after era. Very sexy vocals, especially tha “holla,” “Roma,” “order,”
“tiamo,” “pa—pa—pa—party,” and, I could go on and on wit tha parts, lol. Not a
Discoish “Disco” song; more Romanian, tha way I like it! :) My Current Rating: 4.4
(lol, same rating when I first heard
Elena—tha group; weird)
17.
Weekend Warriors “Teenage Crime (City Kicks Remix Radio Edit)”
Thought
I saw someone add this (‘cause of tha title) but I don’t think I know ‘cause of
Next Plateau signin’. Since NP signed, I might have some AL… >>> Tha beat’s a lil’ quiet for
tha start and tha vocals are a lil’ interestin’… Ooh, tha beat got serious at :33; I think we’re gettin’
Dance anthems back again!! Definitely a nice beat although it sounds more like
an interlude, overall. Plus, dubbing. Plus, I think, a House feel? I think this
has an addictive feel to airplay or somethin’, whether it’s me, you, or a
mixshow; there’s good potential wit this. I gave a good amount of feedback so
this iz a plus. My Rating: 4.2
18.
Chris Brown “Yeah 3X (Abe Clements Radio Remix)”
Bleh…
Bleh, also, at DJ Frank E (producer of tha original version) for stealin’ tha beat from Calvin Harris’s
“I’m Not Alone” and CB blowin’ up wit this song. Really, how did this blow up? Since ABE C are known fa disappointin’, let’s
hear this disappoint! >>> Even though low interest, I think this iz
tha best ABE C mix, currently. LOL, tha chorus sounds like it lost tha jacked
Calvin Harris sample but keeps an okay beat. My Rating: 3.2
19.
Miranda Cosgrove “Dancing Crazy (Smash Mode Radio Edit)”
Speakin’
of Megajam ’10, an lol, or should I say, Ms. iCarly that hosted Megajam ’10.
Because of tha mix, I think I’ll have some interest—minimal—in this…
>>> At least tha mix ain’t too slow, here. Even though I’m not too
familiar of tha plain, not-fast original version, at least this mix gives it a
lil’ twist. Seems to be one of tha better HMs on this CD. LOL, I just checked
its BPM and it’s only 120; doesn’t sound 120ish like tha “Let’s Play” from tha
last PO. My
Rating: 4.1
20.
Jes “Awaken”
>>>
Didn’t do tha preview; wanted to have fun wit it. But, ‘cause I heard tha
Tiësto-soundin’ beat, I remembered it was gonna be Jes. And shit, this iz
pretty anticipatin’, true-Dance style!! Too bad tha previous song, “Closer”,
didn’t get too much airplay; that song got a shitload of countdown and computer
play from me, helpin’ it get close to tha Top 50 of my 2010 YEC! Tha whole song
sounds consistent; gotta luv, as always, how she comes through and if it iz Tiësto that’s doin’ tha beats! My Rating: 4.3
21.
Christian TV “Love 2 Baby”
Ending
anotha PO wit a TV artist? Tha previous time
was in January ’09 wit PAY TV “Fashion Report”. But, because of tha mainstream,
non-Dance, Universal Motown signing, looks like I gon have a really-weird AL for this 125, no-mix
song… Actually, I’m startin’ ta get uncomfortable…; startin’ ta fear to listen
ta dis, lol!! >>> Sounds like a one-hit-wonder… Oh, Hyper Crush had ta come on MCD, just now (Universal
Motown madness)! For a weird AL,
there’s somethin’ pretty-good ‘bout this song; might be that beat! These vocals
are a lil’ weird and Poppy but tha beat gets a plus. For an ending song, it’s
aight; still, a lil’ weird/non-Dance. My
Rating: 3.9
Overall: Seemed to be a
pretty-interestin’ PO! Tha biggest surprise
was #9, tha Romanian artist/song! Anyway, I dunno what else ta say…
