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.

01.
Martin Garrix vs. Matisse & Sadko “Break Through The Silence”
Spinnin’
on tha label! What’s up with tha filename? It says Peace Of Mind “Break Through The Silence (Martin Garrix vs. Matisse
& Sadko)”; really? That’s weird!! But, I’m so anticipated ta hear this one, especially that it starts with,
“Break;” that’s how we’re startin’ this PO!
That’s what my girl at work, Ang, says!!! Now, lemme get inta this supa
collab!!! >>> Very exciting beginning as it builds tha fuck up!!!
Feelin’ these vocals right here!! These beats are definitely powerful!!! Sounds like a “fire iz burnin’,” just like
they just said!!! Very bubbly, like hot
lava!!! Whoo @ tha drop!! It’s stadiumtastic!!! Just luv tha combination here,
between these male vocals and this consistent, hot collab on tha drop!! Thanx,
DJs!!! Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 2nd verse; definitely somethin’ nice ta hear!!! Nice club ending on top
of dat!!! My Rating: 4.8
02.
Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston “Peace Of Mind”
Music
Choice Dance has a mix by Myon & Shane 54, tha Summer Of Love Radio Edit.
This original version I think I might’ve heard on MTV Clubland before I go to
work! Ultra on tha signin’, leggo!!! >>> Nice, strong, stadium-like
beats that sound like they’re good for a big arena! And, tha 2nd ½
of tha 1st verse sounds excellent with that intense build-up before
tha chorus!! And, tha chorus sounds pretty nice; diggin’ these 130 BPMs goin’
on, right now!!! Ohhhh, so peaceful at 1:04!!! Just sounds like you can enjoy a
vacation at any time!!! Enjoyin’ tha
2nd verse with tha music! It may sound dry, but it sounds like it
builds up every time!! Everytime!!!
And, this drop’s pretty nice and melodic; gotta luv it!!! My Rating: 4.5
03.
Axwell /\ Ingrosso “Sun Is Shining (R3hab Mix)”
Def
Jam in tha building, as well as anotha 130 BPM song!! Weird to know that Promo Only: Mainstream Radio August 2015
got this before y’all did!!! That’s shocking from two dance DJs!! But, glad
it’s here; leggo!! >>> Here comes that “Bitch Better Have My
Money”-type R3hab beat on tha mix, here, only this iz Track #03!!! Ewe,
zero-second intro when it’s goin’ past 30 seconds with this build-up, right
now!!! Ewe, just got a “sun” outta that and now, a drop; pretty consistent,
different and vocal-less from tha original version!!! Oh, tha 1st
verse iz at 1:17; lol!! Y’all would neva
consider that an intro today, right, on tha back cover?!? You know I’m breakin’
ya chops!!! Sounds like a nice, slower version of tha original version that’s
on yo Swedish House Mafia tip!!! OMG, what a build-up wit tha climax at 2:37!!!
My Rating: 4.6
04.
Robin Schulz feat. Francesco Yates “Sugar (Radio Version)”
Big
Beat Records, here, of course! However, jackin’ some style? From 2003, Baby
Bash & Frankie J “Suga Suga”! Yeah, tha chorus kinda bites that one fa this
deep house DJ!! >>> Almost sounds like “Are You With Me” from Lost
Frequencies in tha beginning, here, with this sappy music… Kinda dry, but still
good to enjoy! Oh, that chorus; sounds like a jacked beat with tha jacked “Suga
Suga”!! Watch this be a hit song! I luv how “Sun Goes Down” got its nice
exposure! This’ll prolly be pop!! Diggin’ tha RS music at 2:30! That’s Robin Schulz fa you!! Speakin’ of Robins, I miss my co-worker!!
Can’t wait ta see her again!! There’s always
a Robin on these CDs, lately!! Just realized that!! Oh, nostalgic!!!! My Current Rating: 3.8
05.
Michael Canitrot “Chain Reaction”
Warner
Bros. on tha label? Will this be too mainstream for me? For some reason, I
thought this was gon be an instrumental dance song! But, I have a feelin’ it’s
a pop song, based off this label! >>> Kinda sounds like Michael Jackson on tha beginning, here,
with those vocals… Oh, neva mind; what a surprise!! It’s a female on tha
vocals!!! “I feel so higghh!!” Fuckin’ right!! Gotta be embraced by dance
music!!! Okay vocals at first, but I’m definitely diggin’ this clubby chorus,
right here!!! Oh, no drop, lol! I luv when she says, “Hiiighhh!” It’s great ta
hear Promo Onlys while in tha zone
and to hear artists say, “Hiiiiighh!” “Like a domino!!” Thought I might’ve
heard this from somewhere before? Just recognize that line; that’s all… It has
some ‘90s influence sounds around 2:03; that’s a good vibe right there!!! “Turn
me up like Fahrenheit!” My Rating: 4.4
06.
Demi Lovato “Cool For The Summer (Suraci Radio Mix)”
Hollywood Records. I luv this
original version, despite neva gettin’ ta play it, but I luv hearin’ it! Now, a
mix, with a deep house BPM of 122! How will dat DJ Suraci do on tha mix fa
Demi? Hope I fuckin’ luv it!!!
>>> I luv how this song iz about kissin’ a girl, deeper than Katy!!
“Don’t tell your mother!!” Not bad for a slow mix; diggin’ tha sounds on tha
drop! That’s what’s up, Suraci! Luv her sexual experimentation!! “Hoo hoo hoo
hoo hoo!!” My Rating: 4.2
07.
Radio Killer “Headphones (Tavo Radio Edit)”
Of
course, signed by Tazmania Records!! Last year, they scored Music Choice Dance
exposure, thanx ta signin’ one of their older songs, “Calling You”; luved it!! Romania in tha
house, here; thank God they still exist!! Hope that sound continues to come
back!! Not sure if I’ll dig a 122 BPM type of mix, at tha moment, but we’ll
see, in case for tha original! >>> Excited for tha beginning fa some
reason! Diggin’ this dark, deep house-type beat that sounds like “Silence” from
tha 5/15 PO! But, this sounds a lil’ betta fa
a mainstream song than that “Silence” song! I only really liked that “Silence”
sounded like a really dark world from Finland or somethin’!! Hearin’ this
chorus and it sounds pretty nice; catchy lil’ vocal, here!! Tha drop’s pretty
nice fa a deep house one! Will Music Choice Dance pick this one up? We shall
see! If not, M-to-tha-E!! Gettin’ ta actually hearin’ tha words to tha chorus
since I’m not talkin’, and it sounds really
hot!! Can’t live without “headphones;” I got ‘em on right now!!!
As
a bonus, I’m gonna peep out tha original version and see what I think, right
quick! >>> Still sounds like a nice track from tha UK… This video
looks pretty hot and lol @ tha regular-lookin’ food store! Nice lil’ europop,
here; don’t mind playin’ tha Tavo Radio Edit, now. Great lil’ song, overall;
hope it takes tha cake everywhere!! My
Rating: Tavo Radio Edit: 4.4 | Original: 4.3
08.
Deorro feat. Erin McCarley “I Can Be Somebody”
Ultra
on tha signin’… After that huge “Five
Hours”, let’s see how he follows tha vocal up! Really dug tha “Stopping Us”
joint from this year! Still on my playlist after 5 ½ months!!! >>> That
Deorro “ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh”-type sound in tha beginning, here! Sounds like your
grown-up dance vocalist on tha vocals, here… Even on dat “Whiskey,” when it
comes ta those “eyes!” Pretty slow, here, but am diggin’ that chorus! Nice
beats in tha background after a lil’ “ah-ah-oh-oh!” Nice lil’ build-up at 1:08!
Here comes tha drop!!! Anthemic, “ah-ah-oh-oh”ic, and more!! It makes you
happy; that’s good! Glad I became
“somebody,” after gettin’ bullied, abused, taken advantage of, and anything an
autistic person like me has to suffer from! But now, I’ve risen to tha top, as
far as gettin’ through my condition! Asperger’s rocks!!! Definitely diggin’ tha
drop, once again!! I can tell he’s so
happy, Deorro!! My Rating: 4.4
09.
Steve Powers & Vassy “Two Hearts (Original Radio Mix)”
Uppercase
on tha label!! Sounds exciting for drops and Vassy collaborations!! I believe I
saw Party 105 gettin’ this one, as well as “Break Through The Silence” and
others! Exciting ta know; let’s keep it goin’ with tha Vassy collabz!!
>>> Sounds like a serious Vassy anthem, like “Stadium Of Light”!!! A
lil’ Inpetto-like sound in tha beginning, here, before tha :30 mark? Pretty hot
chorus; these beats don’t get any hotter!!! Pulsating drop, right chea!!! Just
luv tha energy in this!! No wonder why I can’t gain any weight from eating
three donuts a day, as well as a muffin!! Too much energy in me; I need ta slow
it down?!? Fuck no!! #IDGT “I don’t get tired!!” “When two hearts collide;” I
know, it’s rough! I’ve had my heart
“collide,” at times, but neva got ta that point where it had to be officially
broken! I’m takin’ my time by puttin’ my career first! That’s why, I have a
Master’s Degree! Got it in Video Production when I was 24!! Oh, “wow!!,” at
2:33; luv it!!! My Rating: 4.5
10.
XYconstant “Silverlined”
Looks
nice and lined up fa tha artist name
and title, here! Look at these labels: Parlophone Records, FFRR (Full Frequency
Range Recordings) & Warner Bros., like The Magician and his “Sunlight” from
tha 10/14 PO!! But, I’m excited ta hear this!
This got 127 BPM; can’t deny it, kinda! >>> Ooh, a familiar-soundin’
song; heard it on a Music Choice Dance mix, somewhere along tha line! That’s what
it sounds like! A nice lil’ mixshow feelin’, here! A lil’ distorted and
consistent with tha BPMs on tha drop, here; I can fuck wit it! Pretty nice ta
hear from this female! Ooh, diggin’ tha ‘90s sound at :54; can we get a lil’
Deborah Cox? Don’t ya wish!!! Ooh, “You bathe [her] in sunlight?” That’s tight,
especially since I just talked about “Sunlight”!! Luv when she says tha title!
Definitely kick-ass, here!! Oh, that Magician drop, lol! I feel like there’s
powers goin’ on, here!! My Rating: 4.3
½time: It’s 8:36 PM and I just
had myself a pumpkin muffin! I feel excellent and now, I have ta say, this has
been an excellent PO,
so far!! Luved pretty much every song; that’s a good look fa a live review!!
And, tha average CD rating right now’s at a 4.4!! I gotta embrace these times!!
Treat these PO songs like they’re my
children!!!
11.
Joe Stone feat. Montell Jordan “The Party (This Is How We Do It)”
Spinnin’
& Def Jam on tha label… A few deep house remakes were comin’ out and goin’
on Party 105’s mixshow. But, this was one of them and it’s okay for a ‘90s
remake. I think a bunch of ‘em are soundin’ like that “Bump & Grind 2014”
from tha 12/14 PO… Hearin’ it again on here
and yeah, exactly what I was thinkin’ with me gettin’ a first listen of this…
LOL @ tha “in my hood” with these ‘90s dance, deep house beats!!! Ya neva know what life gon bring next!! I
have ta say, these beats are definitely
nice ta hear! Like, imagine this bein’ tha new basketball anthem of tha
decade!! What a “party” anthem!!! I mean, this song was from tha ‘90s!! Ain’t that similar?!? My Current Rating: 3.9
12.
Diego Moura feat. Linney “Confetti”
Likin’
tha label here (AfterCluv)!! That “Superfans” was pretty hot ta hear from two
POs ago!! So, this prolly gon be pretty powerful!! And, it’s 4:14!!
>>> Pretty anticipatin’ vocals, here! Prolly iz in Mike Rizzo’s
“AfterCluv” mixshow on Music Choice Dance! Yeah, I’m “ready!!” Diggin’ tha chorus as it sounds so innocent with
these vocals!! “Kiss me like confetti;” pretty nice! Here comes tha build-up
and it’s pretty slammin’ from tha “Superfans” drop!! “Superfans” had a better
build-up in tha climax than tha drop; this has a better drop!! Do we have a
17-year-old-soundin’ Britney Spears on tha vocals, here? I dunno, but
sometimes, that’s what it reminds me of! Luv hearin’ music from anotha country
hit tha US; it’s always
anticipating!!! My Rating: 4.4
13.
Bobby Burns feat. Hannah Robinson “Satellites”
Spinnin’
on tha label again!! Can’t wait ta hear this!! Hannah Robinson, I remember that
name from tha 2/06 PO with Carl Cox! Pretty
sure that’s her; can’t wait ta hear this!! >>> Sounds kinda African in
tha background of tha intro; luv it! Luvin’ this beat here with these vocals!
Sounds adventurous!! “I’m feelin’ tha beat;” that’s right!! Wow, diggin’ these
lyrics a lot!! Anthemic chorus, here; really feelin’ tha energy!!! Tha drop has
somethin’ similar of a sound of what I was expectin’! I have tha “Wings” drop
in my head from Tom Swoon & Taylr Renee! Tha 10/13 PO!!
BTW, vocals don’t exactly sound like Hannah Robinson from tha ’06 track, ta me…
Anotha song with “high” in it; gotta luv it!!! My Rating: 4.6
14.
LIZ “When I Rule The World”
Columbia on tha label; ain’t this a male R&B artist? I’ono what ta expect, but I have a feelin’ I’ll be turned on when lookin’ at special girls with this one! >>> Much different than I expected… Has a bit of a Britney-like vocal to it, and it’s pretty nuts, here! Sounds like a lil’ teenager and what she’s goin’ through! Sometimes, kiddish lyrics, but a lil’ dirty? What’s with tha chorus beat? Really hot, here; luv this hypnotic “when I rule tha world” in tha background!! Sounds like an infectious tune fa weddings and shit; can you believe dat?!? Wow @ “till I tell ya to” repeatin’! And, nice breakdown after tha 2nd chorus…! Mixed, confusing, exciting review of this song, here?! My Rating: 4.5

15.
Mako “Smoke Filled Room”
Ultra
on tha label, of course, as well as #15, just like tha 3/15 CD!!! And, gotta
luv tha title!! How ‘bout dat?!? Just luv
a “smoke-filled” anything!!!
>>> Them and their slow beat intro, here… “Buried adults;” wow, pretty
intense… Luvin’ what I almost wanna say iz tropical house with tha sound before
tha drop, here, on this nice chorus! Ooh, diggin’ that drop; it has its
pulsating powerz!!! Nice and zoned out to those “smoke-filled” beatz!!! My Rating: 4.3
16.
Caroline D’Amore feat. Natalie La Rose “Gypsy Woman”
Already
heard this that one day I went to listen to a lotta Party 105 tracks that got
released in a mixshow, and this was one of them! It got its high premiere listen with me and I
caught on, surprisingly, for a fuckin’ dance remake!! Casablanca & Republic
on tha label, here… Oh, feels like summer’s so tropical and neva-ending! Too
bad I know it’s ending real soon! Already dark out—oh wait, it’s 9:12 PM, but
when I went for break, it was 61
minutes before and it was dark out! My
Current Rating: 4.1
17.
Feder feat. Lyse “Goodbye”
Warner
Bros. on tha signin’ but then again, we go back to a deep house BPM of 120!!
How will this slowie go? >>> A weird-soundin’ start with tha really
slow music, here… Sounds like this girl’s a lil’ drunk on a drunk night with
tha vocals, here… Ooh, diggin’ tha Egyptian-type sound at :48! That caught my
attention when this song was failing for me! LOL @ “you’re annoying!!” Sounds
like a weird dream with this slow song, here! Makin’ a major comeback for my
rating with how this sounds!! I have ta say, I’ll prolly enjoy this song tha
more I hear it! I’m definitely diggin’ these sounds fa a dry song! My Rating: 4.2
18.
Listenbee feat. Naz Tokio “Save Me”
An
Ultra-signed song, here, with anotha slow BPM of 123! Am I in a deep house
mood? I neva anticipate it, but who knows what this rating’ll be!! >>>
This sounds Robin Schulz-y on tha beat start, here; kinda dry… Sounds like it
samples somethin’ on tha hummin’, here… Really dry music but this chorus sounds
kinda nice; I’m diggin’ these Deborah Cox-like, ‘90s diva-type vocals, here!
This vocalist “drinks too much caffeine,” and pretty powerful with tha
“morphine” line ‘cause just three months and 20 dayz ago, my brother died in my
studio room of a “morphine” and Xanex overdose! Sad day, but at least there’s
still bangin’ music out there! “At night, I drink way too much;” oh, to those
drinkers out there!!! Hearin’ tha “there’s a light, there’s a light in your
window,” it sounds pretty uplifting! And, hearin’ tha chorus for tha 2nd
time and it’s soundin’ pretty great! I’m startin’ ta feel this more tha further
it has progressed!! My Rating: 4.0
19.
Club Banditz feat. Adara “Mission Control”
Ooh,
anotha AfterCluv joint, right chea!! Can’t wait ta hear it fa only 2:36!!!
>>> Pretty clear vocals, here, with a slow start that’s buildin’ up…
Hearin’ tha chorus and it sounds like I could explore somethin’ surrounded by
UFOs!! How about tha abandoned military base at tha end of Long
Island? Very interesting!! Hearin’ tha drop and it’s kinda dry,
but gives you an adventurous feeling… Wow, this ended fast; a decent joint,
overall… My Rating: 4.1
20.
Matthew Koma “So Fuckin’ Romantic”
RCA
Records on tha label, here… Matthew gettin’ some exposure without tha DJ in
front of him? We shall see how this goes, but from a Music Choice Dance
premiere, already, it must go far!! >>> He puttin’ his suit on fa this
one, right chea! Feelin’ tha anticipatin’ vibe, lol! Nice lil’ instrument at
:17! A nice lil’ drop right afta tha chorus ta make things sound nice! Even
those “romantic” sounds—that trumpet I was talkin’ about in “Back Home”, a
lil’! Ooh @ tha strong beats on tha 2nd verse; gotta luv it!! I
think this song iz really catchy with its pop content, its explicit title, and
its danceable beats!! My Rating: 4.2
21.
Rita Ora feat. Chris Brown “Body On Me (Dave Audé Remix Radio Edit)”
Columbia on tha label fa this last
one; glad ta see Rita here! However, only 110 BPM for Dave?! Sounds too slow fa
him; hmm… >>> Sounds like a real nice start fa this slow remix! Almost
sounds like a different R&B singer, here, but in a royal way! Gotta luv how
Rita’s from tha UK!!
Diggin’ tha tropical house sound DA has on this mix, here! Pretty nice, here! A
real-nice chorus; definitely a great pop remix!! And, here’s Chris on tha 2nd
verse… A nice lil’ verse; nothin’ sounded weird ta me… And, a lil’ bridge, too;
nice! My Rating: 4.2
Overall: I have ta say, this has
been a consistent, slammin’, excellent
PO!! Only 2 of 21 songs got lower than a 4.0!!
Nothin’ really sucked on this edition and those that tried to made an excellent comeback ta my 1st
listens!! So, PO, props fa makin’ this a
really-anticipatin’ edition fa me! I will always
continue ta support y’all and make sure y’all get paid fa quality music that’s
gettin’ out there, ya dig?! Without Promo Only, we would DIE!!! You guys
have got me through my whole life after I randomly discovered y’all almost 10
years ago (this season comin’ up, I believe, will be a decade)!! Promo Only
lives on!! Promo Only: Dance Radio
editions will neva die!!! They will always be around!! Keep supportin’ all
that exclusive music that us royal people get to hear first!! It deserves proper attention and support,
includin’ our money!!!
