01.
Avicii vs. Nicky Romero Feat. Noonie Bao “I Could Be The One”
LOL
@ this bein’ a start; I thought it was a lil’ old at first, since MCD got it (I
think their first 2013 add). But, Avicii releasing music under ANOTHER label, lol? Two, no less:
Casablanca Records / Universal Republic Records; both are pop labels, so it’s
good to know that they’re signing dance artists like this. But, as far as tha
song, I didn’t think I was gonna get it. Thought it was an okay song, but I
think there’s a lot of these out right now, with tha hot music and good vocals.
Plus, it’s got a lil’ bit of a “Le7els” sound to it… Since it’s on here, I
guess it doesn’t hurt to finally add it… My
Current Rating: 4.0
02.
Pitbull “Don’t Stop The Party (Jump Smokers Radio Mix)”
ROFL,
this? I’m actually luvin’ tha new song Pit’s got with Christina Aguilera;
thought that was on here as an exclusive, but it looks like pop radio got it
first. As for this…, >>> Tha beginning beat was nice; this ain’t too bad as far as tha music. I know tha
original’s a dance-like beat, but nothin’ that grabs my playlist interest.
Nothin’ really interesting wit this mix, overall, for me. LOL @ no TJR feature;
that person was on tha feature, but since PO
took him outta tha ID, they were right. My
Rating: 2.5
03.
Dean Cohen, Eran Hersh & Darmon “Recently Lost”
Looks
like a good AL
on tha ID, here… >>> Almost reminds me of a Romanian beat start… Oh,
if tha intro’s only :15, then iz this a no-word song?!? Oh, my favorite one out
right now: Showtek & Justin Prime “Cannonball”!!! Oh, some random vocals
and then, all this beat action; luv it!!! Also, it’s got tha same length as
Antoine Clamaran/David Esse/Grace Kim “Eclypse”, so it’s like an “Eclypse (Part
2)” for me!!! Luv songs like this; tha tight-ass
beats don’t stop!!!!! Gotta luv that it’s #3 on this CD; hope it gets
exposure!!! I might’ve seen this on Party 105’s play log; not sure, but I
remember this ID from somewhere… My
Rating: 4.9
04.
David Guetta Feat. Sia “She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)”
What tha…? “Just One Last Time”? No, this. I had a feeling this was gonna be on here ‘cause PO e-mailed me this song, like it was new or somethin’ (since I got tha digital January 2013 CD from them; they let me in on a few separate songs). As far as this, it’s still catchy; not as shocking as “Titanium”, but it’s still got a nice lil’ beat. Plus, Sia’s got some real nice lyrics! Also, wolf barks on tha 2nd verse, lol!! Took me a ton of listens to hear that! Though I think this song’s a lil’ boring and for 2012 now, I’ll still be nice wit tha rating… Also, why does tha RE just cut off tha end part? It was supposed to repeat “one last time,” like Guetta says, lol. My Current Rating: 4.3

Glenn Morrison Feat. Mike Tompkins “Secrets”
Had
a feeling it was gonna be a Robbins song based off tha title… Looks like it gon
be DS at 72 BPM, so let’s see how this gon play out. A 21-second intro? Let’s
hear tha beats!! >>> Beginning sounds like 145 BPM than 72; thought it
was DS in tha beginning, but it sounds pop… Either way, tha fast beat ain’t too
bad; gotta get used to these pop vocals… Tha chorus sounds good; not bad, but
tha beat’s fast for me, without slowing down; I think PO
made an error… Either way, decent FL… My
Rating: 3.9
06.
Alesso Feat. Matthew Koma “Years”
I
should’ve known this was on here, since it made a random add on MCD on January
31. First saw it on MTV Hits, but it seems like it’s gettin’ out there a lil’
more… Great combination of two people doin’ a nice job wit this song, here!
Really like tha chorus, MK’s vocals & Alesso’s beats!! I didn’t know a
major label signed this (Universal
Republic); that’s a good
look! My Current Rating: 4.5
07.
Haddaway Feat. The Mad Stuntman “Up And Up (Papercha$er Radio Edit)”
SMH @ tha “no rap,” especially for Haddaway, lol? What would make him wanna have a rapper (or, iz it this “I Like To Move It” guy on tha feature)? Either way, I think this iz gonna be anticipatin’! >>> Sounds like a good start… Okay, I hear TMS on tha part after tha chorus… Not bad with tha chorus, here, wit all tha “up and up;” let’s see what tha verses sound like… Okay, maybe not; good beats from P$! I don’t think this’ll be that big of a playlist song for me, but it’s still pretty good on a FL… My Rating: 4.0

08.
Jax Berlin & Corey Phillips “The Sad Truth”
I
like tha “Berlin” in tha artist’s name; I
think I have some AL
for this unknown artist/song… >>> A slow start…; iz that a female on
tha start? Thought it was gonna be a dude, so I think I might have more AL… Chorus came on kinda
quick; not bad, so far… Music ain’t that bad, either; I think this’ll be an
okay song. My Rating: 4.1
½time: (I had no idea where tha
½ time went, so I re-edited tha ½ time with where it had to go) So far, pretty
good CD. Looks like a bunch of old songs, though, lol. A 4.0-rated CD, currently, for me…
09.
Marina &
The Diamonds “How To Be A Heartbreaker (Dada Life Remix Radio Edit)”
ROFL,
one guess correct! Tha original version iz nice and faster, with a lil’ bit of
a pop feel to it. This girl (she’s tha whole “diamonds”, too) sounds like Katy
Perry, but fans say she has a ‘real’ voice, at least. At first, I was like,
“I’m not gonna pay attention to adding this mix to my playlist,” but it started
to grow. Plus, it’s here now, so I don’t have to waste time gettin’ it. Nice
lil’ music parts from tha original, dance-remixed by DL! Only thing iz, it’s
made into a house remix; all tha great verses of rules (lol) are taken out… My Current Rating: 4.4
10.
will.i.am Feat. Britney Spears “Scream & Shout (Reidiculus Edit)”
THIS FUCKIN’ SONG, LOL!! Thought PO was gonna be dumb and put tha original version on here, but oh, 4:42 on tha length? Here we go wit tha remix… >>> PO was wrong for their no intro info… Oh, BS sounds like a FUCKIN’ computer!!! “All eyes on us; all eyes on us;” how many times you gon say it, lol?? All I have to say iz that this iz a remix; nothing else to say… I like tha lil’ sound effect part after tha chorus… My Rating: 3.0

Havana Brown Feat.
R3hab & Prophet “Big Banana (R3hab Essential Edit)”
ROFL,
this was in my e-mail, too. I went with “You’ll Be Mine” as her follow-up
single (currently on my playlist), but it looks like both HB & R3hab are
workin’ together with this, too… I think this gon be a real dirty song, lol…
>>> PO only admits tha intro’s :14,
but it’s 1:00; feelin’ tha beats!! Oh, a rapper-soundin’ guy? Who iz he, and it
even sounds like HB’s rapping? Major combination that sounds real good, here;
very interesting, and lol @ tha dirty title part!! Nice club rhymes from HB
outta nowhere, lol! Also, tha singing part’s catchy; anybody would call me gay
for my feedback, but whateva, music’s music! LOL, “in tha Polo;” you know,
stayin’ fresh, lol! PO seems to never have a
regularly-edited R3hab edit; there’s always long intros and outros… My Rating: 4.4
12.
Peter Luts “One More Night”
Yes,
another dance artist… I dunno if Sinuz Recordings iz domestic or imported; I
always went with it as an import label, for some reason… >>> Definitely
likin’ tha beat start and just like his last song, “Everday”, it looks like we
got mysterious vocals… I like this song a lot better than tha previous song,
based off this beginning! Feelin’ tha verse; nice vocals to lay down on this
beat! My Rating: 4.2
13.
Mayra Verónica “Ay Mama Mia (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Shit
yea! Shit yea!! Shit yeah!!! Had no
idea this was gonna be on here, despite it bein’ Spanish, but I IC’d it! Luv
that there’s a lot of music parts! My
Current Rating: 4.5
14.
Ian Erix “Sex, Dance And Rock & Roll”
A
138 BPM song iz on here, lol? Despite it bein’ fast, I have a feelin’ this gon
have samples, will be rap-like, have a “R&R” part, and not be for me.
>>> Ehh, really bad start; sounds like I’m gonna skip it! Doesn’t even
sound dance… This iz what fast music’s soundin’ like, now? I’m not gonna skip;
wanna see if there’s any hidden dance beats… Well, I was right about everything
except it havin’ rap in it; pure garbage!! Be in tha pop world, not dance!!
Ultra, what are you doing?? My Rating: 1.4
15.
Klangkarussell “Sonnentanz”
I
like tha “Z” in tha title, but only 120 BPM, signed with Universal Republic?
Looks like a weird/low AL
for me… >>> Liking tha beat start; a no-word song? Sounds like it
samples somethin’ with that trumpet or whateva it iz… With it bein’ 120 BPM, it
sounds like a MCE-type song; have I seen this artist before? I almost feel like
this iz on MCE; there’s so many
random no-word songs out like this, it’s almost hard to keep up, lol! My Rating: 4.4
16.
Sub Focus Feat. Alpines “Tidal Wave”
Speaking
of MCE, here they are again! I think PO fucked
up tha BPM here ‘cause it’s Drum & Bass. They have it as 87 BPM, but DNB’s
174 BPM, which iz double 87. Either way, Saw it on MCE and downloaded it before
January ended, without catching what it sounded like. I, like, added it without
even hearing it ‘cause I thought tha title was real good! You know I luv my elements! Turns out that
it’s AWESOME!!! Definitely luvin’ tha
vocals and tha beat’s pure kick-ass!!! Well, tha beginning beat’s 87, but it
turns into 174 halfway through tha song. My
Current Rating: 4.7
17.
deadmau5 Feat. Imogen Heap “Telemiscommunications”
Long
title, but WTF, this iz tha last song?! Only 17 songs, PO?
What’s wrong with you? Lowest I’ve ever seen… They admitted that this has a :42
intro? Weird, and only 90 BPM? >>> Quiet intro… I remember tha
artist’s name, but forgot what they sounded like… I thought this featured
artist was an indie girl, but it sounds like an indie rock band. But really, I
have no comment on this song! That “Sex, Dance And Rock & Roll” song was
better, so I’m gonna rate this lower than that! My Rating: 1.0
Overall: Tha CD ended so fast… I
thought this CD had a bunch of songs I already heard, mixed with some really
good ones, but some pathetic ones, too. I didn’t realize there were barely any
3.0-rated songs, which seems odd, but that’s also ‘cause there’s not much on
here.
