Review #2,068: Promo Only "Dance Radio October 2025"

Reviewed on 9.10.2025 (Review #2,068)
 
 
Wazzam?! I’m hyped up fa this upcomin’ Promo Only Dance Radio October 2025 review, right about nah!! Looked at tha tracklist & it looks like there’s a lotta dope songs on here, that I know of, from premierin’!! I just came back from visitin’ Mount Rushmore, fa tha 2nd tyme & it was such a euphoric, valuable experience!! A bunch of these songs reflect that memory of goin’ there & celebratin’ success! So, with that bein’ said, tyme fa me ta get in ta my Dance Radio October 2025 mode!! Start Tyme: 5:04 PM | End Tyme: 6:49 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna 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. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…

01. Calvin Harris x Jessie Reyez “Ocean”
Label: Columbia
No matter tha downs that get in tha way of my ups, ya heard me? I just know that bein’ able ta kick off a Dance Radio edition with somethin’ at 136 BPM & Calvin Harris, no less, says a lot about how special a part of this world really iz! An honor ta 1st hear this at Mount Rushmore (Keystone, SD), this past Saturday & it definitely sounds like an awesome, faster follow-up to tha similar-soundin’ “Blessings”! Also, didn’t realize Jessie had only been on Dance Radio once, back on tha April 2020 edition (“Love In The Dark”). Now, her 2nd appearance iz here & as far as tha track goes, definitely an awesome, euphoric-type of sound! Gotta luv that it’s faster than “Blessings”! Jessie sounds like some1 who came out later in her “Love In The Dark” year… Tate McRae. That’s who I almost think it iz, when this comes on… Soundin’ sweeter than her previous half-decade tymes, on tha vocals & definitely what’s up with this 1st verse & chorus!! Tha drop, too!! Definitely luv tha fastness & hope it’s a big one! However, Mount Rushmore/Rapid City, SD, not your “Ocean”, at night! Only 36 degrees, while stranded at tha airport, fa 10 hours! Then, came this song & saved tha day!! Definitely feelin’ how Jessie keeps tha 2nd verse goin’ with tha fastness of Calvin, here…! Can’t deny tha combo they bring to tha table!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
02. James Hype & Bobby Harvey feat. Sam Harper “Waterfalls”
Label: Island/Republic
Speakin’ of tha devil, talk about tha power of “Ocean” to “Waterfalls” & these water-based tracks, lol! Was listenin’ to it a bunch of tymes, while at Mount Rushmore, includin’ eatin’ food & I would just look tha monument in tha eyez, while sittin’, though! Too hard, sometymes, while on tha edges, outside! Only a month has gone by & this track has been with me from Louisiana, ta Florida, ta Mount Rushmore & more! With that bein’ said, definitely feelin’ James’ hype, as far as applyin’ fastness goes! An awesome-needed trio, especially for tha voice of Sam Harper, who was also (secretly) on Dance Radio March 2021, kickin’ it off, “Friday” style, with Riton x Nightcrawlers, Mufasa & Hypeman! “Get in that zone,” fa’real!! Definitely appreciate how she comes through, with her vocals, as well as tha continuous fast music!! Can’t believe this only 120 seconds long—literally! It shoves a hell of a lot, in such a short amount of tyme! Just picturin’ those four Presidents just starin’ at Mount Rushmore, while not a cloud in tha sky!! That’s tha type of vibe I get when I hear somethin’ like this! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
03. Sammy Virji, Chris Lake & RoRo “925”
Label: Interscope/Capitol
Oh boy!! No wonder, I can feel myself continuously pullin’ through this review, slowly but surely!! Definitely gave a run fa my adventurous, euphoric, energetic tymes of bein’ in tha Floridian state, last month/this month! Definitely luv how Sammy now on tha 1st artist of tha ID & Chris tha 2nd, in reverse to their “Summertime Blues” tymes of last year! That’s tha power of Sammy!! Alwayz soundin’ tha best—my FAVORITE, as far as tha dance world goes, right nah!! Definitely what’s up & such an awesome tyme, while seein’ him in Queens, NY, almost three months ago, at tha Forest Hills Stadium:
 

 
Ain’t nothin’ more euphoric than that!! With that bein’ said, with this track, I alwayz love Sammy’s energy, as well as how Chris makes sure it’s on its house tip & its house shit, in tha best way possible!! Also, tha girl Roro, who was introduced ta me through Hannah Laing’s song, “Good Love”, from two years ago, sounds catchy, with her chorus-only contribution! Tha way tha two of them mixed & put this together made RoRo stand out, in wayz I try ta produce. However, I’m combatin’ a pigeonholed stereotype with my upcomin’ music, right nah… My collaboration artist think it’s anotha requirement fa tha artist, when their “voice iz altered from tha original recording.” It’s like, I explained that I’ve been doin’ drops that you’ve loved fa four years! I don’t get it… With that bein’ said, “Clockin’ overtyme” & how she rhymes tha words togetha’s definitely a catchy one ta alwayz rememba! Now, trips to tha casino fa freeplay are back, so anotha environment fa me ta get down ta dis “925”, which iz pronounced “9-2-5,” not “9-25”! I originally thought “9-25,” lol! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
04. oskar med k “Make Me Feel”
Label: 7CULT
This one, I saw, on Diplo’s Revolution… Interestin’-soundin’ vibe, though it makes you think it’s on an R&B/dance vibe, with these male vocals… I guess this dude got lucky with this one? Sounds like a random-type of house track ta break through? Cool lil’ slower house vibe, though a track that would prolly remain a grower-type of track fa me? My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
05. Sonny Wern & R2 “Echoes”
Label: Robbins
A new track I discovered, courtesy of tha POOL Player & as fast of 140 BPM as it iz, I knew it had to make this edition ‘cause of its Robbins-signedness! I looked at tha vocalist on Instagram & they look like they about half my age, at least! Pretty crazy ta say dat, courtesy of all tha years I’ve been around & alwayz remain a youngin! This generation ain’t got shit on me, but when it comes ta great tracks like these, I can definitely appreciate tha fastness!! It’s tha quality of mine that’s alwayz my favorite!! Shout-Out to tha fastness of today!! Definitely awesome with tha 1st verse, comin’ through with those awesome vocals!! Also, tha chorus & drop!! What a huge vibe!!! Definitely tha perfect-type of vibe of today!! Definitely feelin’ tha 2nd verse & tha rest of this, too, as tha awesomeness continues ta hit hard af!!! Personally, I feel like this should have a ***PERFECT RATING***, imo! It has everything in only 125 seconds that you need!! Major props on all tha energy & euphoricness!! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
06. TELYKAST & Oaks “Super Powers”
Label: Armada
As I look back at tha tymes of last year, it seemed like an awesome October 2024 edition, with all tha fastness! However, I woulda neva imagined ta deal with tha whole U-Haul thing, bein’ manipulated, bein’ manipulatively drugged up & I’ll neva understand tha concrete details, as there was only one witness, on tha scene! Those events occurred from tha start of October 5th & crashed October 6th. Seein’ October & each track # seems to eerily correspond with tha fateful dates of last year… However, with such a ***PERFECT RATING*** “Echoes” to be this year’s October, 5th track, on this edition, leads to this, October 6th track, on this edition! Imo & in my heart, I feel like I deserve to alwayz lead with tha “Super Powers” I know of, today!! “Autistic success,” I’d say!! With that bein’ said, definitely feelin’ TELYKAST’s euphoric, undeniable energy with Oaks, here!! Definitely true, when it comes ta what you’re tryna lead with, these dayz! I got tha golden key ta success, these dayz, but I be secluded about it. Definitely an awesome chorus, courtesy of TELYKAST & Oaks, as well as tha TELY boyz comin’ through with tha drop! Tha 2nd verse pretty nice ta follow up tha 1st verse, too, courtesy of undeniable energy & awesomeness!! See, you’d neva expect an October, 6th track ta be so special-soundin’, an upcomin’ October 6th as tha 1st anniversary of tha U-Haul accident! It’s alwayz, in my heart, these types of tracks, reviewz, editions & all that that defines my success/energies of today! Only absorb & extract tha 100.00% positiveness!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
07. Martin Jensen & LAWRENT feat. SACHA “Follow Me”
Label: Spinnin’
Got an awesome one comin’ up, once again, ya heard me?! Luv how it came up on my shuffle on my iPod, while enterin’ Mount Rushmore & just encounterin’ tha monument, eye-2-eye!! Luv tha beginnin’ with SACHA’s strength, as far as her hot vocals!! Definitely nice, when it comes to tha 1st verse & how tha other two on tha track definitely turn up tha beatz!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ chorus from SACHA, just like her “HIGHER” collab with Nathan Dawe x Joel Corry!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ chorus, transitionin’ to tha 2nd verse!! Definitely what’s up, in all of tha best-soundin’ wayz!! Definitely what’s up, as well, with how SACHA’s been mainly on huge-soundin’ tracks!! Even tha hidden voice behind tha Mike Williams x YouNotUs “1975” track, from earlier on tha January 2025 edition! Definitely major props with all their energies combined!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
08. Loud Luxury & Natalie Jane “Uh Oh!”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Neva got ta hear this one—1st new-new one fa me, here! Can they keep up with tha non-stop awesomeness that’s goin’ on?! Hmm… >>> Sounds like a female that seems like a dance-popper, here… So far, a decent-soundin’ 1st verse, with some good energy… Might have ta be one ta get more used to? Tha chorus okay. Might have ta get used ta it? An okay 2nd verse, too, with not much else ta say… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
09. Don Diablo “Little Lies”
Label: Major/Warner
Got a peek at this, recently… >>> Ehh, I’d avoid these donut-servin’ tymes of pressure, while randomly flashin’ back! Tryin’-ta-be-euphoric-soundin’ remake of tha Fleetwood [Mac], here… Ick; too much of a guilty pleasure, with these wasted beatz & even some of tha 1st verse! Ick! More of that 1st verse, again… My Rating: 1.1
 
 
10. LouCii “All Night”
Label: Lalee
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ anotha new one from her, just like on tha previous edition…! >>> Sounds like a hidden male voice, here? Almost sounds like Trevor from Cheat Codes, at first. Then again, iz that’s what I’m thinkin’ tha artist’s name iz pronounced (“Lucy”)? With that bein’ said, whoa @ tha pre-chorus!! Definitely dope & euphoric-soundin’, here!! Sounds like an awesome-soundin’ chorus, as well!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ track!! Sounds awesome when tha 2nd verse kicks in, too!! Definitely a huge surprise fa a track only 125 BPM, vs. all its faster pre-requisites, on this edition! Then again, on tha chorus, “…spendin’ all my money on you”? I’ono, that’s a huge gamble, ain’t it? I know I’ve been guilty of that route & it’s somethin’ that affects my self-esteem… My Rating: 4.7
 
 
½tyme: This edition seems ta be pretty awesome, just as I predicted it!! Definitely a lotta huge & fast bangerz, all tha way round!! A 4.3-rated release, so far!! Definitely what’s up & I can’t wait ta hear what’s next!! However, how will it compete with tha fastness of tha 1st ½?!
 
 
11. Lucas & Steve x Oaks x Jaimes “Love On Hold”
Label: Spinnin’
Wow @ kickin’ off tha 2nd ½ with a 132 BPM-type track & anotha Oaks collab!! Tha LAWRENT track from previously gave me those Lucas & Steve-type of vibes & here they are, faster than average!! Can’t wait ta hear what we got in store!! >>> Sounds decent with tha Jaimes dude, on tha 1st verse… Can be an awesome vibe, based off these L&S vibes… Likin’ how Oaks joins Jaimes, on tha chorus! Cool lil’ melody from every1, here! Tha chorus hit pretty instantly, as well as fast & on a different tip, as far as tha fastness! Oaks comes through on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ adventurous to inspire my type of travelin’. Also, definitely awesome how she represents tha greatness she alwayz brings, on tha tracks! You can tell she’s tha success I reach out for, durin’ my photoshoots, videoshoots & all! Definitely nice, with how tha 2nd chorus hits/ends tha track off! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
12. Mau P “TESLA”
Label: Insomniac
Lmao!! One thing I luv about tha dance world of today iz tha pill-poppin’/upper-type of vibes!! I went ta visit my Louisiana patna in 2023 & he told me, “Last thing I heard they went crazy for was them ‘TESLA’s,” lmao! I instantly thought of that & alwayz do, while this one plays!! Total craziness, here!! Definitely what’s up with tha vocal-distorted “TESLA” part, on tha hook, on tha poppin’!! Also, tha music & tha 1st verse, comin’ through with tha cool vibes & then, at 1:27, tha beat slams hard!! Luv how this continues, especially for its “TESLA”-poppin’ lyrics, on tha chorus! As of today, September 10, 2025, I haven’t actually seen a “TESLA” ta pop. Can only imagine it…! Then again, if I was ta pop it, I would definitely wanna consider Mau P’s “ain’t no need ta judge!” perspective! I already feel that in my autistic genes!! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
13. VIZE “Wait (Alibi Blue)”
Label: Arista
Looks like a slower vibe, but I feel like I can anticipate a new VIZE track? Hmm… >>> Sounds like a familiar-soundin’ female? Might need ta grow on me? Sounds okay… I’m not that crazy about it, so far. Maybe, more of a country-type of lyrics written, here? Then, tha chorus hits & it sounds a lil’ hillbillyish… That’s what I’d consider it as. Tha drop sounds a lil’ betta, though this track would have ta grow on me. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds betta with tha “ocean” & “sand”-type of water-based lyrics, just like tha 1st two tracks on here! My Rating: 3.8
 
 
14. PARISI “Mutual Feelings”
Label: Major/Warner
My guyz!! Can’t wait ta hear a new one on what they got ta bring, courtesy of an October edition!! >>> Ooh, it sounds like my girl, who they’re used ta collaboratin’ with…! L Devine!! I can definitely tell that’s her, in an awesome way, as far as this chorus goes!! Cool lil’ chorus, as well as when tha build-up comes through, with her repeatin’ vox!! Cool lil’ drop part, courtesy of tha “Mutual Feelings”!! Definitely nice af with tha drop/chorus combo!! Definitely what’s up, to tha max!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it keeps tha flame burnin’ strong fa this track!! Hope it’s anotha winner fa PARISI, in tha dance world! People, pay attention! Cool lil’ bridge part, courtesy of an addition ta L Devine, I’d say! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
15. Morgan Seatree & Abi Flynn “Hold Me”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Luv how tha fastness & energy continues with this one!! Definitely feelin’ Morgan’s fastness of 2025, from tha Florence remake ta this! Definitely awesome with Abi, who gives me a total Ella Henderson-type of dance feel for today-today! Definitely can see them two collaboratin’, one day! Might be a huge dance trio or quartet, quintet, etc.! Gotta luv tha continuous energies, between everything Morgan brings & how Abi contributes her power-voice vocals…! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
16. 33 Below x RL Grime “LOOK4MYLOVE”
Label: Major/Warner
Definitely looks awesome, between these two! I envisioned dubstep-like, though 138 BPM makes me think it’s really that?! >>> Tha distorted sample on tha beginning makes me think this gon be epic?! Sounds pretty awesome, so far…! Can’t wait ta hear how this track progresses! Cool lil’ 1st verse that lead into a cool lil’ chorus! Tha build-up to tha drop’s definitely pretty intense!! Whoa!! Definitely a huge-soundin’ 2nd verse-type of music, here!! See, I was right about tha total 138 BPM-paced sounding!! Just knew by that #!! It’s all about tha numbaz!! Definitely a nice-soundin’ drop, as this progresses in a major way!!! Just luv tha strength of tha energy, here!! Definitely such a huge-soundin’ track!!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
17. MORTEN x David Guetta “Lucky”
Label: Future Rave
Wonder how they gon compete with all tha greatness of this edition?! >>> Sounds like it gon be rap-type of lyrics on tha intro, here? Yea, kinda sounds like that, but it’s fused with MORTEN x Guetta’s greatness! Luv when their vocal chops come in ta play, here! Cool lil’ sound, with their future rave-type of perspective, on tha sound! Definitely somethin’ ta be zoned in ta! “I’m floatin’,” iz right! Such a silly-soundin’ chorus, but it’s dope with its addictiveness! Just appreciatin’ tha energy to tha bone, here! Cool lil’ music interlude at 1:45, comin’ through with tha pulse! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
18. Ely Oaks x LAVINIA “Money Made Me A Savage (Calabria)”
Label: Arista
Outta nowhere, while I just got back from Mount Rushmore, this track emerges & it looks/sounds so random, but so dope fa today!! Remakin’ tha previously-remade Enur & Natasja “Calabria” from tha December 2007 edition of Dance Radio! Now, 18 years later, this now-turnt fastness arrives & recreates a new way ta appreciate this one! Though I don’t want my artists of today, especially dance, gettin’ brainwashed by “money”-type tracks, I just know that they should alwayz have tha passion to deliver! With that bein’ said, such an awesome beginning with that fastness of “Calabria” & Natasja’s distorted, sped-up vocals! Definitely a huge-soundin’ chorus & definitely on its shit, here!! So crazy, when it comes to tha energy it brings!! Definitely huge, when it comes to some Post-Mount Rushmore tymes of today! Definitely cool! Gotta luv tha Natasja parts, randomly sped up & brought in ta 2025! Such an awesome way ta come clean about appreciatin’ a “money”-like track! This on a whole ‘notha level than a regular-soundin’ rap song of today! This way up there!! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
19. James Brown & Laidback Luke “I Got Soul (Super Bad)”
Label: Dim Mak
Looks like somethin’ I’d ignore? >>> Sounds a lil’ cool with tha house beatz of LL & just a random-type of remake of today, I guess? I won’t knock this one; I’m definitely feelin’ all tha energy brought to tha table from Laidback, here! That beginning part that repeats around 1:13, from tha intro, sounds like it’s a remake of some melody? I’m just guessin’ from my thoughts. My Rating: 3.9
 
 
20. Zara Larsson “Crush”
Label: Sommer House/Epic
I’ono… With all this competition on here, I’ono if Zara can make it on her own, without her remixers or Guetta collaboratin’ with her…? Endin’ it slowly with 115 BPM, here… >>> Yea, a lil’ weak fa this edition; this edition kicked so much azz!! I mean, this ain’t that bad, but it’s an okay-soundin’ dance track. It sounds betta with tha chorus & drop, fa a slow-type of dance track. Not too-too crazy about tha 2nd verse, especially with tha “don’t reply” part. That’s a main toxic in tha air, as far as this generation goes… Tha rest of this okay; some of these songs are more for tha pop world than dance, imo. Tried ta sound betta with tha bridge part, but ehh, not my favorite-type of song… My Rating: 3.4
 
 
Overall: Sounded like such an awesome, euphoric, nostalgic, energetic, demon-counteractin’ edition, here!! This gotta be tha BEST edition of tha year, despite this October edition bein’ tha follow-up to tha fateful, $40,000.00+ U-Haul accident of last October!! Can’t believe a year ago, seven tracks from tha October edition were 133+ BPM & now, this edition had tha same!! Talk about tha consistency my world needs, continuously!! Definitely what’s up & all tha energy should stay as pure & fast as possible!!

Review #2,067: Promo Only "Dance Radio September 2025"

Reviewed on 8.16.2025 (Review #2,067)
 
 
What’s up, Promo Only?! I feel a lot betta, now that I got through some of my sadness/mental hurting from McClain, recently! Now, I’m on to Dance Radio September 2025, tha review by yours truly, ya heard me?! Only 18 tracks on this edition, as I financially get back in betta shape… Seems like a secluded tyme to make tyme go by fast, so we’ll see how these songs hold up fa me. Start Tyme: 1:07 PM | End Tyme: 2:24 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna like it!

01. Martin Garrix & Alesso feat. Shaun Farrugia “Inside Our Hearts”
Label: STMPD
Kickin’ this thang off with anotha Garrix 1st track, on a Promo Only! Talk about ownin’ thangz & continuin’ ta do so! As far as this track, just like a usual Garrix track of this 128 pace, it’s a male-vocal anthem to appreciate, for tha world! Whether it’s Bonn, Shaun & any1 in between, Garrix alwayz knows how ta make these male-vocal anthems! Tha 1st verse not bad, but gets you excited fa what’s about to come…! Tha chorus pretty hype; gotta feel that heart, Shaun! Definitely where it’s at & I definitely believe it, as far as myself!! Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it’s cool, too… Can’t escape these Garrix-type of hyped-up anthems! My Current Rating: 4.2
 
 
02. Sonny Fodera & Jazzy “All This Time”
Label: Solotoko
Lol, early as #02 on this edition, here… Seems like an okay track, tho I gotta embrace it more, especially since it has Sonny & Jazzy together, again, just like last September with tha sadder “Somedays”. Now, it’s all about bein’ stronger, a lil’ more secluded & focused, embracin’ tha music, passion, energy & all 100.00% positivity!! That’s how I feel, now & this sounds like a cool lil’ anthem, for Sonny & Jazzy…! Cool lil’ chorus, 1st verse & how Jazzy continues tha pure emotion, on tha 2nd verse! Props to tha pre-chorus, too; all about hypin’ us up, Jazz! My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
03. Chris Lake x Bonobo feat. Alexis Roberts “Falling”
Label: Black Book
Been seein’ CL get out there continuously & now, here’s anotha one. I believe this one only sounded okay for me, while gettin’ my 1st sample…? >>> Cool lil’ chill-type of dance vibe, in tha beginning… Cool lil’ 1st verse, but I’ono with how tha chorus sounds, here… Kinda just seems like tha title part wants to repeat itself, just to pass tha chorus on by… Tha 2nd verse cool, at least… A partial amount of good vibes, at least… It’s weird how it has its euphoric, upliftin’ pre-choruses & then, tha chorus hits not gr8, for me… My Rating: 3.9
 
 
04. ILLENIUM x Norma Jean Martine “Refuge”
Label: Republic
Heard this one, recently & I’m diggin’ how ILLEN’ likes to speed thangz up ta 130 BPM, here, soundin’ more dance-euphoric than noisy, imo! Awesome collab, between these two & I hope this gets tha proper exposure it deserves! Definitely feelin’ how Norm’ comin’ through on tha verses, here. She has an evolved-than-tha-average-type of dance-music reputation, imo! Tha chorus pretty strong, between havin’ all tha music in tha background & not! Hope I get to appreciate it more, to show it luv… If all else fails, there’s tha dance-music outlets! My Current Rating: 4.5
 
 
05. Cedric Gervais & Alex Mills “Need Your Love”
Label: Ultra
Excited ta see Cedric Gervais & Alex Mills team up fa this one (“Need Your Love”), especially at 130 BPM!! Gets me fueled & ready to appreciate tha new world ahead of me, a.k.a., tha future! Nothin’ but 100.00%ness at all tymes!! >>> Sounds like it’s on a faster-type of deep-houseness, here? Alex sounds a lil’ pitched, almost, but then, her regular-soundin’ voice, to me, sounds good. At tymes, I gotta get used to her voice on tha tracks, so this one may need a lil’ extra tyme for growth? Needless to say, it sounds good with tha chorus & all that! Tha 2nd verse soundin’ nice, too, to progress through this edition…! Nice lil’ breakdown, after tha 2nd chorus…! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
06. FISHER & bbyclose “Blackberries”
Label: Catch & Release
Lmao! Only 119 seconds & its catchiness can’t be escaped!! A lil’ cheesy with this title, but definitely catchy, between tha 130 BPM, bbyclose on tha FISHER collab & this berry-like title! Everything about wantin’ their “love, in real life” goes interestingly with this title. My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
07. Myles Lloyd & BUNT. “Crazy”
Label: broke
Tha label name may literally be called “broke,” but seein’ tha 130 BPM definitely can feel a lot more valuable than “broke,” imo! >>> Oh yea, definitely with tha music in tha beginning!! Definitely feelin’ it! Finna turn it up!! Tha male vocalist sounds like that pop/R&B-type of singer that has either a lotta love or got their heart broken, imo. I’ono, at tymes, I almost think a female’s on this, but then, I hear tha catchiness of tha male, here… Ain’t that “Crazy,” pun-intended, lol? My Rating: 4.7
 
 
08. Austin Millz & Caroline Byrne “Right Now”
Label: Ultra
Should be an interestin’ collab, most definitely…! >>> Sounds like one of those songs that creeps its catchiness on ya… Kinda like tha other CB collabz with Gorgon City (“All That You Need” & “Run It Back”). This definitely goes with them & I’m definitely feelin’ this a lot more, once tha chorus hits!! Definitely that power, ya heard me?! Awesome, how it went from a creeper-type of catchy 1st verse to a euphoric-driven chorus!! Pre-Chorus, too, soundin’ good to transition to tha chorus! Tha rest of this sounds nice, as tha energy continues to deliver…!! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
09. James Carter “Alive”
Label: Robbins
Can’t wait ta hear tha transition from his awesomeness of earlier this year (“2 Days”)! Robbins has his back & I hope they continue to!! >>> Sounds like a male vocalist, almost like an Elderbrook or someone, here… Once tha 2nd set of lyrics appeared, tha strength of tha vocals came outta nowhere! As far as tha chorus, cool & drop? Definitely feelin’ it, to tha fullest!! Definitely feelin’ tha energy of Mr. JC! All about tha Jamesness in life! They’re everywhere & they mean a lot, as tha most-valuable people! Think: McClain! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, as this track continues… Props fa anotha male-vocal anthem, James!! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
½tyme: As this Age of 37 of mine continues, I’m takin’ every week quickly, but at tha same tyme, awesome & alwayz for granted, due to my worth! A 4.4-rated release, so far?! Definitely soundin’ pretty awesome, for my future!! With that bein’ said, I can’t wait ta hear what’s left!!
 
 
10. Shankz feat. Imogen Heap “Too Late”
Label: broke
Lmao, anotha “broke”?! Faster rate of 132 BPM, too?! Not too-too sure how I’ll appreciate Imogen, tho… >>> Tha way that beginning sounds, I feel like I wanna turn it up, but for its mysterious-type of buildin’-up vibes, fa this intro!! Definitely somethin’ awesome & cool, courtesy of this sound!! Tha chorus kickin’ in at tha 0:44 mark pretty dope, when tha music fully kicks in!! Definitely euphoric, once 1:29 hit, with that quieter-type of music transition! Tha euphoria pretty nice, in its own way!! Tha rest of this pretty dope, in its own way, too! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
11. LouCii & Rakelle “Harmony”
Label: Lalee
Tried ta look this one up about tha label & all that, but not much in tha search engine, in today’s world! That makes me more anticipated for this?! >>> Tha intro sounds pretty awesome, includin’ tha female vocals comin’ through, here…! Reminds me of those Long Island, NY/Party 105-type of local singers, in tha dance world! Gotta luv how tha chorus does its thang, as well as tha build-up comin’ in at 1:17!! Then, tha drop hits & it’s pretty awesome, for tha progressive-type of euphoria!! Definitely nice, within this exclusive-type of song!! At tymes, hearin’ tha vocals almost reminds me of some1 like Slushii’s mom, Wendy, which gives me that local-type of feelin’! Gotta luv when that build-up instantly kicks off, again, at 3:01!! Definitely nice, when tha drop hits!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
12. J. Worra “SMYLM”
Label: Major/Warner
Alwayz nice for a Worra appearance… Been seein’ this one. >>> Weird, deep-soundin’ male-vocal start, here.. Dunno how much I’ll feel this slower-than-this-edition vibe, here (only 125, on its deep-houseness)…. Understandin’ this chorus & it’s Show Me You Love Me, when spelt out… Ehh, okay, regardless; this track doesn’t do much for me… When that chorus kicks in, it’s icky with how strong tha vocalist sounds… Ehh, an attempt at a deep-house anthem, imo. My Rating: 2.8
 
 
13. Anabel Englund & Mary Droppinz “Born To Fly”
Label: Ultra
Last month, tha “King Size” invaded tha Dance Radio edition, in good & nostalgic-type of wayz. Now, this comes with a DnB sound & I’m definitely for it, for Anabel & this Mary Droppinz!! Definitely sounds awesome with tha beginning, tha way Anabel delivers tha vocals! Tha music definitely nice, keepin’ her pace goin’ strong!! Tha breakdown with tha chorus b4 tha 2:00 mark sounds nice, when tha music gets a lil’ quieter… Anabel strictly shines on ‘em! Love how this was tha last new song I done heard b4 goin’ to Louisiana, last week! Talk about a successful-type of quick trip, with an add like this to make you “fly,” pun-intended! Awesome sauce!! With that bein’ said, tha rest of tha last minute or so of tha track sounds nice, with all those DnB beats continuin’ strong! Luv how tha ending gets quieter, with tha instruments/sounds!! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
14. Onlynumbers feat. Lucie Hart “Euphoric Night (Tiësto Remix)”
Label: Musical Freedom
With 152 BPM, I believe this gon be awesome!! Can’t wait ta hear how Mr. Ësto puts it down, at this pace, for a remix!! >>> Definitely hear tha anthem-type of female voice, in tha beginning…        Cool music, especially when tha drop hits!! Whoa, fastness & awesomeness to appreciate!! Definitely feelin’ this female-type of voice & fast-ass pace!!! Definitely an awesome 1st verse!!! Tha breakdown with tha music’s definitely somethin’ to appreciate!! I think this gon sound like a ***PERFECT-RATED***-type of song!! Definitely has all tha strong pieces of my puzzle-shaped heart!! Tha breakdown after tha 2nd chorus iz pretty strong!! Like, way too strong for tha last drop!!! My Rating: 5.0
 
 
15. Kaskade x Lipless feat. Poppy Baskcomb “State Of Mind (SILK Remix)”
Label: Enhanced
Lol, this one wanted some more exposure in tha world, from its slower-type of start in tha world… >>> Randomness that got a faster-type of push, here! Definitely nice to hear tha fastness, even tho this original version/track seems so far away from me, as far as how many months have gone by? My life be goin’ fast-fast, these dayz… Either way, definitely nice to give this one an extra life, basically. Cool that SILK did a poppin’-up-&-down-type of drop, here…! Tha 2nd drop just as bouncy & I’m diggin’ it!! Definitely tha way ta resurrect this one & tha unstoppableness of Kas’, Lipless & Poppy! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
16. KSHMR “Wild Ride (Ryos Remix)”
Label: Dharma/Spinnin’
Oh, nice!! Not only a re-appearance with Ryos on tha remix, but tha “Darma”-spelt label from tha last edition has been corrected! Look at how my powers work, when I instantly lay my eyez on somethin’, ya heard me?! Hope it’s a dope remix, but I know there’ll be its anthemicness fa 130 BPM & Ryos!! >>> Definitely sounds anticipatin’ with tha female, in tha beginning…! Definitely feelin’ tha energy put in to this chorus & remix, so far!! Definitely dope af with tha build-up at 0:39!! Then, when tha drop hits right at tha 0:47 mark, it’s definitely that Ryosness I was born to love, since my 1st tyme hearin’ them (on tha 1/16 edition with Breathe Carolina & KARRA)!! Definitely an awesome-type of drop, in a way ta bring more outta this edition!! This definitely does tha trick from tha original version! A strong-ass 2nd verse, too!! Definitely nice!! Gotta luv this female that may sound familiar, too!! Pure energy at its finest!! Luv that last 15 seconds, too, how tha energy subsided till tha track’s end!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
17. Bob Marley & The Wailers with LP Giobbi “Could You Be Loved (LP Giobbi Remix)”
Label: Island/UMe
A strange-type of collab & appearance, here… >>> Just sounds like a unique-type of house vibe, to blend in some throwback vocals of BM&TW… Interestin’, especially when tha drop plays with tha chorus, lol. Dunno what to say about tha randomness of how BM&TW sounds, with their vocals… Still, just makes for a random house-type of remake, in a collab form with LPG. My Rating: 3.8
 
 
18. Adriatique, Notre Dame, Timbaland & Nelly Furtado “Give It To Me 2025”
Label: Interscope/UMe
What a way ta end it… No Timberlake?! Lmao!! >>> Weird-type of intro in a siren-meets-Adriatique-type of sound… So weird ta hear this 18 years afta tha original blasted tha airwaves! I know PO remembers those Dance Radio dayz of 2006 with Timbaland & Nelly dominatin’ tha scene/dance-remixed domination! Such a strange way ta bring back tha Nelly Furtado-type of chorus, in an Adriatique way! Then, tha eeriness of Timbo, on tha 2nd verse… Such randomness ta bombard this edition! This edition was worth a 4.4, b4 this one came along! My Rating: 3.0
 
 
Overall: What an interestin’, energetic, upliftin’, promisin’-type of future, here!! Within these next few weeks, ya heard me?! I’m goin’ ta Florida, followed by Mount Rushmore, ya heard me?! To celebrate success, ya heard me?! Only way I know how, ya heard me?! Definitely awesome ta have these type of dance-lifts, in tha world!! Can’t wait ta hear more of these songs get released & all that!! Definitely what’s up & tha fastness iz what’s gettin’ me through my down tymes & vibes of today! Most definitely!!

Review #2,066: Promo Only "Dance Radio August 2025"

Reviewed on 7.17.2025 & 7.20.2025 (Review #2,066)
 
 
Good afternoon, as I enter my 1st review at Age 37… Promo Only Dance Radio August 2025! As much as I was so happy to go to Saint Croix, USVI fa my birthweek last month, I have to say, tha post-effect of tha success has been very bittersweet. I went with McClain & as awesome as most of tha trip seemed to be, unfortunately, it had some fake sides that really hurt me. While playin’ back 337 songs I called FTLD’z Women of Age 36 (June 21, 2024 – June 21, 2025), this was tha 3rd year I tried playin’ tha songs back. While tha past two years featured upper drugs to enhance gettin’ through each entire nostalgic set, I was in Mount Rushmore fa 2023 & Hawaii fa 2024. Since our truck accident from last year, McClain had advised me to be drug-free around him. Well, tha perspective was SO FUCKIN’ FAKE & I will NEVER advise tha perspective ever again!! We started playin’ tha songs back 81 minutes later than I wanted to, due to him oversleepin’. Then, since he wanted me to “incorporate girlz” on tha Saint Croix trip, I gave him his wish, but he would have multiple intermissions throughout tha set, to where so much tyme passed on by. Durin’ tha 1:00 AM hour, he wanted to go back to tha Airbnb to “get a lighter,” since his lighter ran outta fluid. When I went to have him go get it, after tha 166th of 337th song, he said to me, “I’m goin’ ta lay down. I’m Black; I don’t ride around in tha car at night, unless I’m on tha highway.” Tha trick really left me mentally hurt, to where 171 songs didn’t get spinned! I had plenty of stories ta share, between our success & hard tymes ta look back on. Also, since then, after we flew back tha same day, we barely talked on tha phone. He even went as far to say, on tha 3rd anniversary of my violence, from June 26th, “U are not my leader, nor my bank account. I have nothing because of you…” Of course, seein’ a song like “No Broke Boys” bein’ on here & blowin’ up, he iz tha definition of a “broke” boy!! Cash App alone, between features & helpin’ him out, I’ve sent him $32,000.00+, throughout tha years. That don’t even include all tha credit transactions while with him, over tha years! As much as I’ve been hurtin’, I do know that for Age 37, it seems like I’m headed in a direction where it’s mainly gonna be about tha solo work/trips I do. I love explorin’ & travelin’ by myself & I feel like it’s only gonna get betta from here. Fa now, just work/sleep till tha paychecks come in, from tha full-tyme… That’s why, I had to wait till now ta review this. About half of this release either iz songs that remind me of tha Saint Croix trip or songs that were ‘posed to premiere on my birthday, from tha POOL Player. Too bad those premieres were only added, but neva saw a Saint Croix premiere, smh. With that bein’ said, let’s see how I can handle this review, as I progress with Age 37… Start Tyme: 7.17.2025 @ 2:37 PM | End Tyme: 7.20.2025 @ 8:57 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna 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. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…

01. AFROJACK, David Guetta & Martin Garrix feat. Amél “Our Time”
Label: Spinnin’/Major/Warner
No matter how much Saint Croixness was in my way, mentally & musically, still, here comes a brand-new song ta kick off this edition! Just caught it only yesterday on Liquid Todd’s #betaBPM, but it still gon feel like a fresh review… For a quartet, here, it sounds like an anthem for tha stadiums & festivals! Speakin’ of, seein’ Sammy Virji at tha Forest Hills Stadium tha day b4 I went to Saint Croix was its own awesomeness in its own way!! A mentality like no other that was too awesome!! Loved tha fire/effects/lights, all that, surrounded by buku people!! >>> Instant start that reminds me of a Bonn-like collab for a Garrix track… Tha 1st verse progresses its way to tha anthemic sounds of tha chorus & good, uplifting vibes of tha drop! Definitely nice & even tho it seems early for me, “I” do “believe that this iz” my “tyme”! I can’t hang with many, these dayz, so I stick to just myself… With that bein’ said, tha 2nd verse keeps this anthemic anthem goin’… Definitely appreciate its stadiumic energy, to tha fullest…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
02. Swedish House Mafia feat. Plan B “Wait So Long”
Label: SUPERHUMAN
Got to see this one appear out in tha world… Alwayz awesome fa SHM’s energies, as well as their good/better-soundin’ male vocalists! Sounds like a good lil’ chorus, especially with tha whole waiting game of their “love”…! Also, tha drop’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ it! That lil’ verse/bridge a lil’ ehh with tha extra backing vocal, imo… Felt like it sounded like it was fine durin’ tha chorus… My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
03. Marshmello, Ellie Goulding & AVAION “Save My Love”
Label: Joytime Collective/Interscope/ICLG
One of ___ of a Saint Croixtastic tyme that’ll most-likely never come again. Every song that was startin’ out/brand-new deserved every memory & quality memory, at that! As far as this track, I’m definitely diggin’ Marshmello’s faster vibes, here… Alwayz sounds okay with Ellie on tha vocals, but betta anticipation while faster… Definitely tha vibe to be at, but tha hurting definitely makes me feel either major nostalgia in tha future or pain, right now… My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
04. David Guetta & Cedric Gervais “A Better World”
Label: Atlantic UK/Warner
Saw this one get out there… Not too-too sure how it exactly sounds, so here’s Guetta 2nd appearance on this edition, already…! >>> Seems like an okay start; sounds like an R&B vocalist, on tha female vocals? Tha chorus ain’t bad & tha drop sounds like summer, I’d say. Nice lil’ regular-paced track, here… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too-too bad; just a regular dance track, basically. My Rating: 3.9
 
 
05. Chris Lake feat. Harper “Savana”
Label: Black Book
I have ta say, no matter how dark or low tymes may get in my world, within this past year, thank God fa these faster tracks! At least that keeps my happiness progressin’ through this annoying future…! >>> Sounds like anotha mysterious female, here… Likin’ tha faster start & am likin’ tha “less stress” part… Sounds like a good lil’ drop, here; gotta feel tha honor of tha faster tracks…! Likin’ that 2nd verse, as this continues… That 2nd chorus & build-up somethin’ a lil’ more serious!! Definitely feelin’ tha energy on this one & hope it enjoys tha summer…!! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
06. MK feat. Chrystal “Dior”
Label: Columbia UK/Ultra
*Puff* Such a McClain title!!! I got him Versace, Versace, Versace items to manually recover what he lost in tha truck, within this past year!! With that bein’ said, this’ll suck up all tha Saint Croixness, McClainness & all that! As far as tha track goes, MK alwayz keeps it goin’ for the dance world of today, yesterday, yesteryear, yesterdecade, all that! Luv that this Chrystal vocalist from “THE DAYS” iz gettin’ on more tracks, includin’ this one…! Definitely feelin’ her hood-like perspective with tha lyrics; what a “hustler,” lol! My Current Rating: 3.8
 
 
07. Loud Luxury “R U DOWN?”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Not too-too sure if I’ll anticipate this one… >>> Ehh, a decent start with tha music, but these male vocals aren’t hittin’ too-too much, yet… Tha build-up on tha pre-chorus sounds pretty nice, but still sounds like somethin’ that has to grow. Tha drop has good effort, at least; let that energy out! Tha rest of this ain’t bad, as tha energy continues… *Tries to look up vocalist & sees a “McClain” as a writer…* Nah, I’ll leave it blank & realize I’m not stoned on purpose from what I’m seein’!! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
08. DVBBS x Abi Flynn “Move A Little Closer”
Label: Ultra
Got to see this one on #betaBPM, yesterday, as well as its Diplo’s Revolution add… I think this an anticipatin’ one & I definitely enjoyed Abi’s debut collab on Nathan Dawe’s “Here In Your Arms”, durin’ a tyme that literally reminds me of goin’ to New Jersey wit McClain to tha Versace store! My determination iz way too high for people to understand my passion for what I love, who I love, etc. & it hurts me deeply when it’s not taken serious to tha heart! >>> Definitely feelin’ those vocals in tha beginning & I instantly recognized ‘em, as soon as I heard ‘em! Music’s nice, but sounds a lot betta durin’ tha chorus & build-up to tha drop!! Definitely feelin’ tha constant-craving of Abi sayin’ tha title part…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s nice to enjoy, as well…! Can’t wait fa this one to keep playin’ out there! Definitely an awesome collab & one to get addicted to, I feel like! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
09. Disco Lines & Tinashe “No Broke Boys”
Label: Good Good/Nice Life/Atlantic
So sappy!! So Croix-y!! So McClain-y!! As far as tha song, like, literally, goes with him with wantin’ money, money, money! I found out an hour b4 this review that McClain’s two girlz dumped him ‘cause he “couldn’t pay they phone bill” & tha other “lives too far,” just an hour away! Like, he LITERALLY got HIT by this song in reality!! See what I’m talkin’ ‘bout! I only am gettin’ hit by it, based off tha love I had for him, as an artist & person! Glad Tinashe can’t stand a “broke” boy! Crazy that this iz even faster than tha average track, too! Doesn’t sound like somethin’ that would be big, but it seems like it’s inescapa-fuckin’-ble! Even only one verse & a whole surrounding of tha chorus! My Current Rating: 3.7
 
 
10. ZULAN feat. Clairo “Forever”
Label: Mercury/Republic
If Saint Croix wasn’t enough for me, add Long Island, New York City & Atlantic City to this song’s memories wit McClain! As far as this appearin’ on this edition, I’m likin’ tha extra intro part! Also, ZULAN iz an interestin’ new artist, so I’m anticipatin’ more of what she has to offer! Cool beats at 135 BPM, as well as these vocals & vocal chops! Tha “on, on, on…”ness! What else more can I say? This song’s really gettin’ its exposure & I hope it continues to feel appreciated, in tha world! Also, nice lil’ added outro part to tha last 15 seconds, as well…! My Current Rating: 4.5
 
 
11. Anabel Englund “King Size”
Label: Ultra
Lmfao!! Drivin’ on tha left side of tha road with this anthem, Frankie!! So Saint Croix-y!! I luv how Anabel steps up tha sexuality with tha references of tha chorus! “King Size…” […], “queen vibe…” […], “6-9…,” you know? Cool music, tho; luv how it’s 130! Definitely gives Anabel not just a hotter look & sound, but it doesn’t suffer in boringness! Goes good with Kiesza’s newest, “Stays In Bed”! My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
½tyme: It’s 3:27 PM & even tho only 50 minutes went by, I’m gonna resume this 2morrow. I guess tha memories & everything drainin’ me? Or, do I feel confident about tha doubletyme, this weekend? I think I just wanna know tha doubletyme iz confirmed, so I can have more energy! With that bein’ said, this 4.2-rated release, currently, sounds awesome & nostalgic, tho hurts my soul, at tymes. Glad most of tha Croix ones are outta tha way, tho I forget exactly how many familiar ones are left… McClain gon feel some serious Frankie withdrawals when I pay him tha last $5,900.00 worth of features! I gotta break away & let his 42-year-old self be more responsible for himself! I need my happiness to come first! That’s how I’m comin’ fa Age 37! With that bein’ said, I’ll be back sometyme 2morrow fa more…! *Pauses review at 3:32 PM on 7.17.2025…* *Returns at 8:07 PM on 7.20.2025…* A lil’ bit of a transition… I decided to sleep through tha following day, where I texted McClain about me mentally hurtin’ & he texted back, “Stop hurtin Frankie, I apologize, I just been goin thru a lot, but u not the cause of my problems.” That’s an awesome effort, which iz really appreciated. I only got overtyme & was off tha full-tyme not yesterday, but tha previous night. I went explorin’ to take pics & videoz for 18 hours, 44 minutes, so I slept most of tha 19th away. Now, I’m back & ready to complete this, with a better mental state…
 
 
12. Kenya Grace “Mr. Cool”
Label: Major/Warner
At least I feel a lil’ betta about right now than previously… Got excited when I set this to premiere on my birthday durin’ my Saint Croix trip. However, by you-know-who not stayin’ continuously awake, I couldn’t premiere it & it affected me. As far as tha track, itself, I don’t consider it too catchy & am not sure how it’s gonna do in tha mainstream or dance world… Sounds like an okay effort, though I like tha title/“Mr. Fine” part, on tha chorus. Not much to say with tha other parts of tha track; I feel like she sounds a lil’ on tha quiet/shy side, here. Now that I think about it, with all these “girlz” & “I bet he’s with somebody” really hints who McClain iz. My Current Rating: 3.6
 
 
13. Tate McRae “Revolving Door (Lavern Remix)”
Label: RCA
Didn’t expect a fast Tate to follow? At least it’s a 138er & a post-Croix song for me…! Can’t wait ta hear anotha faster Lavern! >>> Sounds good for tha start, between Tate & this fast-quiet start from Lavern…! Likin’ tha chorus with tha “Revolving Door”; definitely sounds cool…! Also, tha drop with tha faster/stutter-like drop-chop!! Definitely real dope!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice; definitely enjoyin’ tha fastness, throughout tha verse’s part! Tha bridge ain’t bad, with all tha “more” parts. Guess it builds tha hype for tha 2nd drop? My Rating: 4.5
 
 
14. George.Alexander “Like I Do”
Label: Robbins
Didn’t expect a new Robbins track, artist & a 133er to come up, as well! I hope my excitement can pave tha way for this track & its 146 seconds worth of…! >>> Good start with tha faster music, here… Felt like it was gonna be a lil’ bit of a risk for me, with tha male vocals. However, do I feel lucky with tha 133 BPM, at least? Not too-too sure if I feel all tha “I” parts, as tha pre-chorus/chorus… Tha drop, funny, sounds dry, even tho it’s 133 BPM. At least it ain’t no 124 BPM-type slap-house! I feel it more with tha “do…do…” part, especially as tha drop ends with that music! Tha music even follows throughout tha 2nd verse; definitely cool! Ahh, tha “I” parts, again…! I think I can get past ‘em… I like tha 2nd drop, to end thingz off! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
15. Warren “Déjà Vu”
Label: Robbins
More of Robbins, back to back! Anotha fast one & I’m glad Warren stepped in to that awesomeness! Definitely well-deserved fa him! Got ta hear this one on tha POOL Player right after tha Croix trip… Awesomeness, though reminds me of tha hurt I’ve been goin’ through. I should feel betta about it, if it starts to get out there… With that bein’ said, these female vocals definitely sound hot/awesome, for this faster Warren! Tha chorus pretty nice & strong, as well as tha drop! Definitely feel tha passion & durin’ tha bridge, it reminds me of Malou, how she sounds…! My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
16. Lucas & Steve x LAWRENT x Izzy Bizu “Oh My Lord”
Label: Spinnin’
Want to anticipate this newbie & trio collab, now that I feel betta about myself…! >>> Sounds cool in tha beginning; gives me a good house vibe… Kinda likin’ when tha climax hits, durin’ tha chorus! Pre-Preparing for tha drop! Tha drop cool; not much to say about it, at a regular 128 pace… Tha verse sounds good, here; sounds like an awesome world of Izzy, when I hear her… Tha 2nd drop cool, too, just progressin’ through… Nothin’ much else to say; at least it’s a thumbs-up! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
17. VASSY “Hazy”
Label: LESIXTYNINE MUSIQUE
Lol @ tha label name, capitalized style… Alwayz nice to hear a new VASSY track, so let’s see what this one gon bring… >>> Not too-too bad; sounds a lil’ different for VASS, here… More like a rappin’/R&B style, on tha vocal style? Mainly, just decent for me; dunno how it’ll do in tha dance world. Likin’ how she feels tha “Hazy” high, durin’ tha 1st verse, as well as tha “energy” havin’ some sorta check mark or somethin’, on tha 2nd verse. Glad she can verify tha “energy.” My Rating: 3.5
 
 
18. Surf Mesa & Zeeba “Energy”
Label: Breakaway
Let’s see how tha Surf comin’ with this brand-new collab & slower track… >>> Sounds like a better start to tha music than VASSY, with a male on tha vocals… Tha pre-chorus sounds nice with tha music growin’ with excitement, durin’ its build-up to tha chorus… I like how VASSY was talkin’ about “Energy” to where this iz tha title of this track, following her! Tha chorus sounds catchy, includin’ tha music! Nice goin’ with tha sounds, Surf! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; definitely diggin’ tha excitement throughout tha music & sounds, continuously!! Tha bridge sounds good with its “Energy,” as well…! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
19. KSHMR “Wild Ride”
Label: Dharma/Spinnin’
Y’all forgot tha “H” in Darma, accordin’ to tha label, I see…! As far as this goes, I like how “Energy” followed VASSY & now, KSHMR follows Izzy Bizu, since their previous song was their collab, “Diamond In The Rough”…! >>> Instant start with a female on tha vocals, here… Sounds okay, though I would love to hear KSHMR on some faster stuff, for tha new… Sounds much betta with tha drop at 0:47!! Definitely cool with tha music, there! Good lil’ transition to tha 2nd verse, which sounds a lil’ like a Tate McRae, at tymes… My Rating: 4.1
 
 
20. Sigala & Jaxomy feat. Ilan Kidron “Riptide”
Label: b1/Ministry Of Sound/Ultra
I believe tha “b” in B1 lower-case, lol. Only 122 BPM, here; let’s see how this trio gon sound… >>> As soon as I heard tha “lady” part, in tha first second/word, I almost thought it was gonna remake Modjo, lol… Guess it’s an okay chorus? Dunno how much I can catch on to this… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad; just seems okay. Tha chorus almost reminds me of that bluegrass-y sound of Avicii, in some wayz… Tha drop ain’t bad, with an okay set of repeatin’ vocals… Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta with tha music, here… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
21. Cheat Codes & Edward Maya feat. Enisa “Be Your Friend”
Label: Helix
Whoa, what a combo of people, here! You got CC, who are alwayz active & their “Find Love Now” really got me through all my accident shit with McClain. Then, you got EM, who only was on PO once with his “Stereo Love” Vika Jigulina collab, on tha 3/10 edition! Finally, you got Enisa, who had her one PO appearance on tha 11/14 edition with Kaskade (“Tears Don’t Fall”), released one day after tha accident with McClain! Seems like it can be a gumbo pot/typhoon-type of collab, here!! Love how tha edition started gettin’ slower, then a 131 BPM track like this comes to premiere & go hard…!! >>> Oh, no wonder where tha EM appearance comes from! Total new version of “Stereo Love”!! Love tha beginning, as well as tha Enisa vocals, on tha 1st verse!! Definitely much happier than tha post-accident tymes of “TDF”!! Definitely luv tha chorus & what a brighter way to progress through how lazy & drained I felt, from tha beginning of this edition!! Talk about a total 360-type of feeling!! Definitely lovin’ this & anticipatin’ tha 2nd verse progressin’, too!! Oh, just luv tha energy, altogether!! Tha lyrics about tha title part & “no more” followin’ it remind me of tha future with McClain, though! Pretty eerie, but tha eeriness tells tha future, at tymes! I’ll perfect-rate this one, since it caught me off-guard! My Rating: 5.0
 
 
22. David Guetta, Hypaton & Bonnie Tyler “Together”
Label: Warner
Endin’ it with a 3rd appearance from Guetta, here…! Dunno how much I’ll anticipate tha BT-type of collab, so we’ll see how this ends this eerie edition off…! >>> Yea, I knew somethin’ like this was gonna come outta tha track… Total “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”ness, here… Once tha build-up comes b4 tha drop, it adds a lil’ bit of excitement to tha track, at least. A bit of a guilty pleasure, but I’m diggin’ tha regular 128-paced drop, with its house-type of excitement…! Tha lil’ part followin’ tha 1st drop’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ its trance-like inspirations, too! Luv tha energy, despite it bein’ surrounded by BTness! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
Overall: What a review, it many up & mentally-down wayz! Definitely had its share of awesomeness, includin’ a bunch of awesomeness that coulda had more of an awesome experience, but that’s what happens when you have people around you! See how I was on an 18 hour, 44-minute adventure, Friday into Saturday? All by myself, me to only care for!! No limits, just progressin’ with tha goalz & with tha best nostalgic dance music of tha years ta keep me awake! July 5th marked a whole silver anniversary of me doin’ my own Top 10 countdowns, so I’m now at tha point where I have at least 25 years worth of music memories! It really paves tha way to continuously stay awake, when tha productivity arises! With that bein’ said, I hope I’m in a happier mood, on tha next edition. I have a feelin’ I will, since this 2nd ½ got betta & like I say, as long as there’s tha faster music of today, tha memory-creating will alwayz be there! Just be happy, alwayz put your happiness at tha top & in tha end, tha memories’ll be tha best, no matter what age!
