Lookin’
forward to this “Promo Only: Dance Radio June 2011”! Got it early enough to
where not too many songs are released, I don’t think! Start Time: 8:51 PM | End
Time: 10:13 PM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to 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.

01.
Selena Gomez & The Scene “Who Says (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)”
Saw
KTU had this, as well as MTV Hits. I dunno if they got tha original or a mix
but it sounds too Poppy for them. Lemme check out this mix. >>> It
seems awkward for a starting song/mix/HM for what’s gonna be a good CD… I liked
tha “na na na” part but I thought tha original version had more “na na na”s…
Positive song but only on a decent level… My
Rating: 3.6

DJ Sammy Feat. Jean-Baptiste & Nyah “Animal”
#2?
LOL, I saw 128 BPM and thought of, ‘oh, here we go wit tha 2010s generation and
R.I.P. to Trance music.’ >>> Sounds like a great start wit tha music
but lol, tha rapper from “Spaceship” and knowin’ it’s DJ Sammy should give me a
tougher result of how to take this. Whoever tha Nyah gurl iz sounds pretty
catchy wit these tight, female vocals so it kinda works wit tha beat. I guess
Ferry Corsten can’t diss DJ Sammy anymore ‘cause this goes away from tha VT
shit we’re used to. LOL @ how short this song iz, too… My Rating: 4.2
03.
deadmau5 Feat. Greta Svabo Bech “Raise Your Weapon”
LOL,
when I saw tha content warning and this title, I instantly was thinkin’ this was gonna be a “Sofi Needs A Ladder”
sequel. But, I neva knew this was tha song I kept hearin’ in various MCD
mixshows. Tha vocals sound like Alanis Morissette and they seem like they can
be addictive wit this deadmau5 music. This can sometimes get boring wit tha
lack of changing of tha music, at times, as well as tha vocals; I hope I don’t
yawn when I play it… I like how it ended wit “it’s over” and a piano key. My Current Rating: 3.8
04.
Jennifer Lopez “I’m Into You (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Too
bad for tha PO error of Lil’ Wayne
bein’ in this; no wonder why Dance
music ain’t bigger than it should be! How can you leave tha biggest artist
outta a mix? :? Whether it helps or not, this iz a really boring song, original
version or remix; where’s tha real-hot
“On The Floor” that I loved? LOL, sounds like Lil’ Wayne
wrote J-Lo’s lyrics, in an R&B
perspective, here, especially when she rhymes tha “Zion” part. My Current Rating: 3.2
05.
Wynter Gordon “‘Til Death”
I
had a great dream about her last
night, mainly ‘cause I was gonna hear this song for tha 1st time!!
Lemme hear how my high AL
will pay off!! >>> Sounds like a good/decent start but she’s got tha
sexiness and 100% Dance beat, still! I really like tha title and how she says
that part: “til death, til we party!” :tu My
Rating: 4.2
06.
Beckwith Feat. Ineabell “Higher (Your Love)”
Not
checkin’ tha ID, yet… >>> Sounds like a hot Dance song wit tha
typical, Dance music and vocals! Oh, now I remember tha “higher” and “your
love” shit; must be Beckwith/Ineabell? *Checks ID* Sounds like an interestin’,
more-Dance-soundin’ song than “No Time To Waste” wit tha beat but still iz on
that hot level! Not to mention, Ineabell looks hot in her pics so I guess it’s a triple threat, here! ;) Surprised
I’m puttin’ this over DJ Sammy & Wynter; feelin’ good wit this one now! My Rating: 4.3
07.
Sylvia Tosun “World Keeps Turning (Sted-E & Hybrid Heights Radio Remix)”
MCD got this first and I wondered why they would get a SE&HH mix… PO, yawn. This iz an okay mix but when I think of ST, I think of newer-soundin’ beats and all that; Bellatrax FTW (for tha win)!! Tha sound effect at 1:18 – 1:24 in tha background iz tha SFX I like, especially in tha Bellatrax mix! I would rate Bellatrax’s a 4.4, around, but for this mix… My Current Rating: 3.7

08.
Ray J Feat. Aaron Fresh “Turnin’ Me On (Razor N Guido & 4M Radio)”
Iz
this tha same Ray J as tha R&B singer? I see he has a dash in his name…
>>> Sounds like a good mix goin’ on, here, for a new song. Yea, this
iz tha same Ray J although his Dance-soundin’ lyrics kinda throw me off. This
has 2:49 to go? I dunno if I can hang in there so I hope it maintains interest…
LOL, a Jamaican rap from newcomer (I think newcomer) AF, which he blends in
pretty good wit this song… Interest iz mostly here for me although I don’t know
how well it will do wit me… My Rating: 3.8
09.
Armin Van Buuren Feat. Laura V “Drowning”
Ooh,
a goodie! When I first heard it on MCD, I was like, “damn, it ended so fast!” I
guess tha short length equals more airplay wit me so it fills my appetite? Such
catchy vocals from Laura V—put her wit Emma Hewitt and that Dash Berlin song,
plus A&B/RB “Sun & Moon” and you got a triple combo! Tha three of them
I got in order so it’s a great mix! Glad PO
got another AVB song; keep ‘em comin’!! My
Current Rating: 4.4
10.
Shontelle “Say Hello To Goodbye (Lenny B Dance Radio)”
Tha
fastest song on here and also, tha longest! Finally, we’re gettin’ some long
songs again? >>> Whoo @ tha start!! For a HM, this iz pretty hot!! I
didn’t see tha original version anywhere so this iz a great start! I hope people can handle this long length; c’mon, you
deal wit LMFAO’s song, which iz 15-20 seconds shorter! Even though she sounds
dry on this song, it’s tha anthemic
LB beat that keeps tha interest and AL
high! I thought this was gonna sound like tha LB/136 BPM mixes he did in ’09
but this iz tha real shit dat gives it a Dance feel wit tha beat! My Rating: 4.4
11.
Arias & Arno Cost Feat. Michael Feiner “The Days To Come”
Yes, this iz on PO!!! Was tryin’ to find a perfect RE and now, it’s here!! MCD
shows buku luv to Arias & AC so you know
this iz gettin’ play! Also, even though their previous song from ’07 was on a—I
forget what tha label was but it wasn’t that big of a label, bein’ signed wit
tha Wynter Gordon/”Hello” label (Big Beat), I see Dance sources seeking
interest! Kick-ass beats, great comeback, and tha vocals make it an anthem! I
hate when MCD purposely makes an
error on their ID. They have tha title as “More
Days To Come” and tha album title as “The
Days To Come (Single)”; lol, confused me, at first, you damn MCD! :td Glad I
got this now ‘cause I was afraid that it was gonna play too much before I can get
a chance to play it… My Current Rating: 4.3
½time: Yes, this edition iz
kick-ass!! Luvin’ tha newness, decent or great!! A 4.0 for tha CD rating, so far!
12.
U.V.U.K. “Forever”
>>>
Didn’t look at tha ID, yet, or do a preview but it sounds like what a VT song
would sound like wit tha hot vocals and anticipatin’ beat start!!! I have a
feelin’ this iz a Robbins song; lemme finally look at tha ID! *Checks ID* Definitely iz one wit tha hotness!!
Damn, this iz startin’ to sound like Kim Leoni’s producers; very hot for tha Summer!! These vocals
are a huge turn on wit this kick-ass
beat, especially during tha 2nd ½ of tha chorus!!! Damn, four huge PO
songs back to back? Thanx a whole
lot, “Drowning”, for kickin’ it off!! My
Rating: 4.8
13.
Antoine Clamaran Feat. Annie C “Reach For The Stars”
Fuck,
yea, make it five songs!!! How great
to put a kick-ass Robbins song back-to-back wit an AC song!!! I’m gettin’ back
in tha mood to play songs more, again, and it seems like I’m playin’ tha shit
outta this for somethin’ I’ve only had for a week! I’m finally gettin’ to play
“Live Your Dreams” a lil’ more, now, thanx to more free time; I won’t give that
up, yet. This song iz pure kick-ass wit tha hot
music and these typical, AC’s Gospel vocalists! I think this iz older than
“LYD”; saw on YT that this was an ’09 song and “LYD” was ’10 but it’s all good
‘cause it’s Domestic, now, thanx to Robbins’s next-door neighbors, Next
Plateau!! My Current Rating: 4.7
14.
Medina
“Addiction”
ROFL,
what a way ta calm things down… I guess ‘cause this has been big for a while and PO
got it now? :? I can picture all gurls, any age, just gettin’ stopped by that opening line, “should I
drink another drink,” ‘cause of how great
of an opening line it iz, lol! It’s like, tha world just stopped ‘cause Medina’s ruling it! Even
though “You & I” was much better, especially introducing me to Dash Berlin, this iz a good
song, especially for it becomin’ huge in tha Dance world! I luv how everyone
goes crazy over this song but it seemed like “You & I” wasn’t that big. My Current Rating: 4.2
15.
LMFAO Feat. Lauren Bennett & GoonRock “Party Rock Anthem”
PO left tha features out… ROFL, I swear: who
would’ve thought a goon (thug,
gangsta) would appear on PODR?! I don’t think this should be in tha Dance world
nor tha Rap world; just stay in tha Pop world!! MCD’s beastin’ this and smh @ them cuttin’ out
tha 1st and last 15 seconds. :td My college station made fun of this
song against their Alternative format, lol; guess ‘cause it’s pretty big… ROFL
@ this “gettin’ money” content, too; lemme find a Dance artist “gettin’ money,”
lol. LB’s hot on her vocal part and looks better in tha music video! They even
took “everyday I’m shufflin’” from Rick Ross’s “Hustlin’” (“everyday I’m
hustlin’”) from ’06; how random… I thought they’d be a one-hit wonder for “La
La La” but they kept it goin’; I feel that Jump Smokers kinda copy their style…
But, it looks like this’ll be tha huge
Summer anthem of ’11, lol. I may put it in ignore rotation but I highly doubt
I’ll even get tha chance to play it that much, especially since I hear it like
crazy. My Current Rating: 4.0
16.
Natalia Flores “Dumb”
Looks
like tha Natalia from tha previous CD; lemme check tha info on this gurl before
I listen to this… Oh, Rod Carrillo’s Carrillo Music; how Dance will it be on
this Dance label? BTW, lol @ all these original versions in a row! >>>
Sounds like it could be tha next hottest Pop song… I’m feelin’ her flow goin’
on, here; tha vocals are pretty catchy, too. LOL, tha music’s soundin’ like some
Rod Carrillo-type shit, too. LOL, tha chorus came outta nowhere; can’t fuck wit this gurl’s head, lol! This
kinda sounds like a longer song, compared to some of tha shorter ones on here… My Rating: 3.9
17.
Mike Lembo Feat. Gia Bella “Life Of The Party (Mike Rizzo Funk Generation Radio
Edit)”
Yes,
anotha Gia Bella song, already!!! Really lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this
collab!! >>> Damn, tha 1st artist iz a vocalist? Thought
he’d be a DJ; kinda threw me off at first but once Gia added her two cents, it’s
startin’ ta sound like an anthem!! Even though this’ll prolly only get out
there in tha Dance world—if it does—this sounds like tha good, borderline sound
of GB wit tha content! When she says, “tha DJ, he keeps spinnin’ tha
throwbacks,” I think of how hot she
iz!! You know it’s all about tha old
Dance songs! Gotta luv dat tha MR music iz consistent, too! Startin’ ta like
tha male vocalist a lil’ betta, now… “Even tha DJ goin’ crazy, I think I should
charge him a fee;” lol, gettin’ on a business side? I like to play peoples’s
music for free; I hate how people would want, like, $1,000 to play a song on
tha radio? LOL, reach out to more people!! I feel that gettin’ more people to
pay you iz better than gettin’ paid a huge
amount from, like, one person. My Rating:
4.4
18.
Dacav5 “Dirty Style (Kik Klap Radio Edit)”
ROFL
@ this song and almost lookin’ like deadmau5’s name! I wonder how you say this
artist? Music sounds a lil’ more advanced from tha “What’s My Name” (Rihanna)
mix but lol @ this bein’ a Rap song; I wouldn’t’ve guessed! I’m likin’ tha flow
and tha voice sounds nice and energetic so I gotta give this props… I like how
tha female appears in tha song; gives this song a lil’ bit of extra interest.
LOL, that 3rd verse iz consistent wit tha rhymin’, lol; neva givin’
up!! My Rating: 4.2
19.
DJ Zilos Feat. Sophia Cruz “Always Changing (Giuseppe D’s Midnight Radio Mix)”
Yes,
some Amathus Music-signed music! Their last collaboration was “Under Your
Spell” (last song on 8/10’s PO); let’s see how
they gon do wit tha big GD on tha mix! >>> Yea, this does sound like “Midnight” wit tha vibe;
I’m likin’ tha good vibe between tha vocals and beat, here! Ooh, some added
beats in tha chorus makes me wanna like this more wit these lyrics and vocals!
Nothin’ but interest continuing on my end!! PO
error of DJ Zilos? I thought there was no “s”? Gotta look into that before I
finalize this review… I know most of tha previous songs sounded mainstream but
it’s goodta have some of this New
York-soundin’, underground shit on here, too! My Rating: 4.4
20.
Obsessiv Feat. Sophia May “I Will Never Give You Up (Cappo Radio)”
Only
70 BPM? This iz tha 1st of two, back-to-back no less, wit really low
BPMs. I thought this song was really old? I wanted to check it out as a
late-add song last October but lol, here it iz wit a new mix? >>> Ooh,
Dubstep style; no wonder why tha BPM’s low! I don’t think there’s ever been a
slower BPM than 70 on PO before, lol? I think
this sounds pretty hot; tha beginning gave me a hot vibe wit these near-soundin’ VT vocals from SM! Tha good thing
about Dubstep beats iz that they almost sound like a good, watered-down version
of what a Trance song would almost sound like as far as tha sounds! My Rating: 4.2
21.
Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go “Cinema (Skrillex Radio Edit)”
Ooh,
a lil’ faster… 72 BPM! :rofl Heard this mix on MCE and when I heard tha beat on
tha chorus, I almost went nuts!! I thought this was gonna be some Drum &
Bass, faster-type mix, 100 BPM higher! LOL, then, when tha Dubstep beats came
in, I almost LMAO ‘cause of how much shit’s goin’ on here!! Definitely a thumbs up!! Might call this
PODR—oh wait, PODubstepR, lol! Gives
me a perfect, new feeling of a new
song when I hear this mix vs. tha original version, lol! I feel like rating
this higher—I guess it will beat all my hot, 4.4ers. My Current Rating: 4.5
22.
Kamouflage Feat. LP “When The Lights Are Down (Bruno Robles Radio Edit)”
Wow,
ending wit it an Unsigned song? Lots of AL,
here, ‘cause you neva know wit a song
that’s not even signed!! >>> LOL, male vocals, here; they almost sound
like Chris Willis or Craig Smart, so this could be good, although only 127 BPM…
Music’s only decent; would hope there’s more than a David Guetta sound to it. I
guess this should get signed soon ‘cause it sounds like somethin’ that could be
out there, more. Yea, this sounds a lot like a DG song wit tha 2nd
chorus of kick-in beats… Now, tha 2nd verse iz almost soundin’ like
Lucas Prata; lol, hence tha LP initials—iz this him, secretly? I dunno if I
should believe it ‘cause wouldn’t it be on his Yo Pal! Entertainment label? LOL
@ all this confusion but on tha 3rd chorus, tha beat’s soundin’ much
hotter!! LOL, tha 4th and final chorus has all tha combinations of each, energetic sound, which makes me like
tha song a lot more, now!!! :tu My Rating: 4.3
(lol, I thought I was gonna rate this a 3.7 or somethin’!)
Overall: Wow, real hot PO, this time; I don’t
think I was disappointed, that much!!! I dunno what else to say; I guess I can
make music more exciting now that I’m gettin’ tha POs again!! A bunch of songs
I prolly would’ve neva found if I did tha end-of-tha-month hunt!
