01.
Arty Feat. Chris James “Together We Are”
This new one vs. “Must Be The Love”; let’s see what made PO go for this 1st and ignore tha other… >>> Sounds like one of those big anthems, especially wit this “Veldt” singer… Big chorus, here; nice!! Feelin’ tha 2nd verse, too; real nice music and this proves to be a big anthem!! Much better than tha other song, too!! My Rating: 4.5

02.
Calvin Harris Feat. Ellie Goulding “I Need Your Love (Nicky Romero Radio Edit)”
Hope
this iz better than tha original… >>> Ooh, an added beat; sounds like
this gon be house vs. tha dance album version that’s a lil’ plain… Good lil’
remix, here; I’m diggin’ it, even though I liked some of tha verses on tha
original… My Rating: 4.0
03.
Justin Timberlake “Suit & Tie (Jump Smokers Radio Mix)”
One
word: GROSS! …More like BORING, though! Can’t take him serious
to dress up, lol! My Current Rating: 2.5
04.
Afrojack & Chris Brown “As Your Friend”
Do
I have to…? Never gave it a full FL, but why does this UGLY/GAY dude have to keep appearin’ in tha dance world???
>>> Good music… Let’s just hope that if this enters my playlist that I
don’t lose any equipment this time
(which was “Can’t Stop Me”’s unexpected curse), lol! What’s up wit tha Chris
Brown-like background screams toward tha end? I don’t even know what they’re
sayin’, but it’s gross! My Rating: 4.3
05.
Alex Gaudino Feat. Jordin Sparks “Is This Love”
Tha
“Playing With My Heart” song I just added, but just got rid of it after one
playlist, since I saw somethin’ like this on here; lookin’ forward ta hearin’!!
>>> Nice, big intro! Rather have JS on tha dance tracks than CB; odd
how tha both of them are back to back, since they both were on “No Air” five
years ago… My Rating: 4.4
06.
Dzeko & Torres & Sarah McLeod “Hurricane”
>>>
Heard tha beginning before I got a chance to look at tha ID; sounds like it’s a
big dance song!!! *Checks ID* Whoo!! Glad to hear SM back, especially after I
put “White Horse” on my Top 100 Most-Memorable Songs While @ My 2nd
College video countdown!! Wow, great music & tha voice ta go with it!!
Gotta luv all tha new DJs and shit!! My
Rating: 4.5
07.
Christina Aguilera “Let There Be Love (Cutmore Radio Mix)”
I
usually have more AL
for CA than BS, but I don’t think it gon be that good wit this mixer…
>>> Actually, it sounds like classic CA on tha vocals, so it sounds
good. Also, tha music’s pretty good, though I think they try to mimic tha
big-sounding beats like SHM… Nice lil’ remix, overall; glad for another song by
CA! My Rating: 4.2
08.
Little Mix “Wings (The Alias Radio Edit)”
When
I first saw tha artist’s name on here, I thought it was an error. But, as much
as I didn’t know about this artist, tha video played on MTV Hits recently, so
it’s a group (like The Saturdays). I know TA iz a pretty nice remixer (from
Demi Lovato’s “Give Your Heart A Break” song from last year), so let’s see
what’s up wit this… >>> It’s an okay song… I didn’t write much, but
we’ll see how it does in tha future for me; above-normal-soundin’ remix… My Rating: 3.9
09.
Carnage & Borgore “Incredible”
A
really short song, here; I know Borgore as a dustep (or, iz it trap; I’m
startin’ to get them confused) producer, so let’s see what this gon bring…
>>> I’m REALLY feelin’ tha
beginning!! Whoo!! Roller-coaster ride!! Oh, tha music kinda turned into some
troubled video game or somethin’ at :45, lol… Either way, I’m feelin’ it; a
lil’ too short, though, lol… My Rating: 4.5
½time: Wow, luvin’ this CD so
far!!! Only one doozie wit JT, but every song’s been pretty hot, so far!! A 4.1-rated
CD, currently!
10.
Mika Newton “Come Out And Play (Paul Oakenfold Radio Mix)”
MCD
has a TV Noise Remix, and it’s like a dub; doesn’t even sound like this song,
but it iz, since I bought it from Amazon. Anyway, lemme hear this mix…
>>> Yea, this sounds like a completely different song, lol! But, I
guess this iz tha true dance sound, unlike tha dub/house feel wit tha other
one… I have to say, tha vocals are okay on tha verses, but tha chorus sounds
nice! My Rating: 4.3
11.
Nikki Williams “Glowing (Fedde Le Grand Radio Edit)”
Anotha
one with a different mix… MCD got this (Cazzette vs. Nikki Williams) and theirs
iz tha worst of tha 3. I went to buy this song, and I went wit Danny Verde;
very hot-soundin’ mix!! I heard tha chorus to this mix, and thought it was
good, but if I was gonna get one, I got DV’s… >>> Hearin’ this from
tha beginning and it’s soundin’ interestin’ wit tha music parts in tha beginning!!
I think tha vocals are real strong!! Gotta luv it; I’m obsessed!! Can’t believe
she’s signed wit tha same label as Bieber… (okay, I’ll make it sounds better:
same as Kerli, too); thought it would be an unknown dance label! Hope they give
her some nice exposure!! But, one of tha big ones for 2013 for me! Interestin’
breakdown wit tha music, too, after tha huge chorus… I think I’ll IC this for
an extra mix, so it can get more spins on my playlist! Bleh @ tha music on tha
2nd verse; doesn’t really match up to tha 1st verse’s…
Tha 2nd chorus sounds nice wit tha beginning music, but I thought
this was an anthem, not a chillout session, lol? DV’s mix gets tha big 4.9 for
tha rating from me, but this ain’t that far behind! My Rating: 4.4
12.
Team Pitbull Feat. David Rush “All Night (Starkillers Radio Edit)”
Didn’t
know what to expect wit this at first, although I originally had a low AL for tha feature (he
did an ’09 song w/LMFAO or somethin’). Now that MCD got it, I was like, “It iz Pitbull;” why iz he callin’ this a
“Team”? :? Also, SK on tha mix? Don’t sound like no “What Does Tomorrow Bring”
or even “Discoteka” for me; sounds more BB… Tha vocals and rappin’ sounds like
one of those Louisiana
rappers I used to deal with that would now sound gross to hear. Either way,
this ain’t nothin’ special. It’s not terrible, but it ain’t a big song for me. My Current Rating: 2.8
13.
Justice Crew “Boom Boom”
I
smell trouble… >>> Yuck…; sounds like a Hip-Hop/R&B song that
wants to ‘try’ to be dance. Oh, I remember that chorus from not that long ago…;
it’s a boy band! Yuck @ tha “got money to blow;” you know I hate hearin’ that shit!!! Still, keep this in Mainstream
Radio, not here!! “Lookin’ airplane fly;” really? Couldn’t’ve came up wit
better shit than that, smh? My Current
Rating: 3.1
14.
Kavinsky Feat. Lovefoxxx “Nightcall”
Before
I figure out my AL,
lemme see what it’s signed with and its stats… *Checks info* 91 BPM & tha
typical, “Years”, “I Could Be The One”, “Tidal Wave” (2/13 CD) signing
mainstream label? *Expects disaster…* >>> I like tha “night” sounds in
tha beginning, lol, but dance? Doesn’t even sound MCE for me; sounds like it’s
for tha alternative world! Scary male vocals in tha beginning; sounds like a
computer… How can this be friends with “I Could Be The One”??? I like tha
female that comes outta nowhere, but c’mon wit this bein’ on here… Scary
lyrics… My Rating: 2.7
15.
TOKiMONSTA Feat. MNDR “Go With It”
Another
really slow song that doesn’t fit either dance music or MCE for me… What’s more
fucked up iz this song’s currently in my countdown! I had this one dude I was
promoting on my countdown pretty heavy (four songs in tha countdown), but he
said somethin’ to me that I was afraid to read, so I took three of his songs
off, makin’ room for cheesy shit like this; now, you know somethin’s bad, here! But, as cheesy as it iz, I don’t mind
listenin’ to it. MNDR = Defeating bad thoughts, lol… Should be an alternative
hit, not in tha dance world! My Current
Rating: 3.5
16.
Rev-Players Feat. Tius “Make Your Move (Beat Jockeys Radio Mix)”
Ooh,
BIG AL for RP, but someone else on tha mix? I’m
still anticipated, and can’t wait to hear!! >>> A growin’ beat intro;
let’s see what comes outta this… Vocals sound like “Make Me Forget” (12/12 PO); not bad for tha start, so far, but I don’t think
it’s gonna get anywhere… Not too bad wit tha chorus, either, but this iz gonna
need time for growth. Music sounds like other Amathus Music-signed songs like
this… My Rating: 3.7
17.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Me “Wakanda”
Tha
last two songs are tha fastest on here wit 130 BPM; let’s see which one gon be
tha best… >>> Well, I dunno about tha weird vocal start, here… Doesn’t
really sound like it’s for me… Only 3:02 long, and it took 1:00 for tha beat to
kick in…; a lil’ long, though it’s a lil’ tight. Still, I dunno about an IC for
me… My Rating: 3.2
18.
Feed Me & Crystal Fighers “Love Is All I Got”
Will
it take a weird ID like this on an ending song to make tha CD better? I’m a
lil’ afraid to hear, especially wit this mainstream label shit; not sure what
to expect… >>> Ahh, what I have ta say about tha beginning vocals:
“TONIIIIIIIIIIIGHT……………WE ARE YOUNG…………SO I SET THA WORLD ON FIRE!!! WE CAN GO
BRIGHTER…THAN THA SUN……OOOHHHWHOAOHHH…” (fun. Feat. Janelle Monae “We Are
Young”); no feedback! My Rating: 1.8
Overall: Pretty disgusting 2nd
½ to ruin this CD, which was supposed to be good! Right after “Glowing”,
everything went downhill… But, I’ll just stick wit my “Jekyll Or Hyde”,
“Glowing” & “Ready To Fall” <- PO, get 4 Strings/Seri “Ready To Fall”!
You’re supposed to lead!!
