Video Premiere: Stooshe – Waterfalls (TLC Cover)

by: Taj | October 7th, 2012

R&B girl-group Stooshe have just released a fun little remake of TLC’s 90′s hit “Waterfalls“! The update stays pretty true to the original, with even some of the signature shoulder-bouncin’ choreography from the original video in tact but is fresh enough to introduce the song to a younger generation! And if you’re wondering what the two surviving members of TLC, T-Boz & Chilli, think about this new rendition of their song… I think it’s pretty safe to say that they have given Stooshe their stamp of approval of the remake by making a small cameo in clip! Check it out…

New Music: Rihanna – Diamonds

by: Taj | September 26th, 2012

Rihanna’s new single “Diamonds” is finally here and despite the tacky, drug centric artwork – the song itself is actually a beautiful and pretty mature record for Rihanna… Probably because Sia had a hand in writting this ‘gem’. I think the dance diva actually has a chance to break the 4-on-the-floor mold and score a huge hit with this mid-tempo ballad! Check it out and tell me if you’re feeling the ‘all grown up’ Rihanna

Remix Treatment: Alex Clare – Too Close (Jason Nevins Remix)

by: Taj | August 25th, 2012

One of my favorite new alternative rock artists Alex Clare has been given the remix treatment by Jason Nevins! His current single “Too Close” has been in heavy rotation in my iPod for months now and I have been desperately searching for a dance version of the highly addictive song with no luck! Today the remix Gods have smiled upon me and have sent me this Jason Nevins mix!! I will definitely be debuting this in my set tonight!

On a side I note, I know an amazing Cazzette remix of this song also exists but has yet to be released/leak. Can’t wait to get my hands on that one as well!

New Music: Mariah Carey Ft. Rick Ross & Meek Mill – Triumphant

by: Taj | August 2nd, 2012

And here it is ladies and gentleman… The highly anticipated new single from Mariah Carey titled “Triumphant“. Hmmm… To be honest, this single comes off more of a Rick Ross & Meek Mill single featuring a cameo from Mariah on the hook more so than it does a comeback single from Mimi. I’m highly disappointed in Mariah’s not-so-triumphant new single that relies more heavily on the rap cameo’s to carry the song over her own talent. Alright lambs, sound off on the new Mariah

New Music: Melanie Amaro – Don’t Fail Me Now

by: Taj | August 2nd, 2012

Winner of the first season of US X Factor, Melanie Amaro, has FINALLY released her official first single this week titled “Don’t Fail Me Now“. The Darkchild produced debut single fits right into the dance-pop heavy climate of pop radio right now and really showcases Melanie’s powerhouse vocals! Hopefully the label didn’t wait too long to release this and people will still be interested since Melanie won the X Factor title way back in December! Take a listen and sound off about Melanie Amaro’s debut…

Remix Video: Madonna – I’m Addicted (Riley York White Room Video Edit)

by: Taj | June 6th, 2012

The very talented Riley York who created the amazing montage music video for Madonna’sGang Bang” is back with a new video from M’s MDNA era! This time, Riley has taken on the Benny Benassi produced “I’m Addicted” and has constructed an impressive and very creative visual to accompany the album track. I’m predicting this song will never be released as a single so this may be the closest thing we get to an official music video for the song… Enjoy!

New Music: Laurieann Gibson – Last Chance

by: Taj | May 16th, 2012

Many of you may know Laurieann Gibson as a choreographer and creative director for the likes of Lady GaGa and Nicki Minaj, but now she’s stepping out of the shadows of the superstars that she molds to attempt to shine as star herself. That’s right, Laurieann is trying her hand at pulling a Paula Abdul by transforming herself from a choreographer into a pop-star… Unfortunately for Laurieann, after listening to her just released debut single “Last Chance” I’m afraid that she has missed the mark in a major way! I mean it’s BAAAAADDDDD!!! I mean, I’d rather listen to that hideous Jeffree Star single than this hot mess! Don’t believe me? Just take a listen for yousrelf… If you dare….

by: Taj | May 14th, 2012

SHE’S BAAAACK!! Everyone’s favorite “sporty” Spice Girl turned dance diva, Mel C,  is back with a brand new dance EP titled The Night! The new 3 track project is actually a collaboration between Mel and producer Jodie Harsh and is probably the best electronic effort I’ve heard from Sporty Spice single the Hex Hector remix of “I Turn To You“! Take a listen to the first cut off of the EP titled “Set You Free” and make sure you buy the mini-album from iTunes!

New Music: Trina Braxton – Party Or Go Home

by: Taj | March 23rd, 2012

If you follow BET’s hit reality series Braxton Family Values, then you should by now know Toni’s younger sister Trina Braxton. You know, the crazy ‘party gir’l who has a D.U.I. under her belt and has admittedly had sex with women! Well the middle Braxton sister is taking a swing at a solo career and has debuted an infectious new dance-pop “party” single titled, “Party Or Go Home“. While Toni is going for a more sensual, mature route with her new dance single “I Heart You,” Trina has delved into the “party rockin’” end of the dance genre which seems to be a popular direction to take these days. (Just ask LMFAO!)  Take a listen to ”Party Or Go Home” and let me know if you think the Braxton’s now have 2 dance diva’s in their litter.

Karmin’s New Single “Broken Hearted” Gets A Remix Treatment…

by: Taj | February 24th, 2012

So I’m a little late on posting about Karmin’s new single “Broken Hearted“…. Well OK, I’m kind of a lot late since it was released in late January but as the saying goes; “better late than never”!! What better time to post about and this infectious pop track than now, especially since the impressive remix package is about to be released! Karmin has pretty much covered all their bases by recruiting Razor N Guido, R3hab as well as Mixin’ Marc & Tony Svejda to turn out their single into a club-banger! My favorite of the bunch is the Razor N Guido remix but I definitely will be giving all 3 remixes a spin at one point or another. Take a listen and tell me which remix would get you out onto the dancefloor…

by: Taj | February 15th, 2012

US X Factor winner Melanie Amaro has official made her grand entrance into the club scene with these Ralphi Rosario & Bimbo Jones remixes of her Aretha Franklin remake - ”Respect“. I gotta say that Ralphi took it to the next level with his high-octane rager of a remix! Can’t wait to see my crowd throw down to his production!

Remix Treatment: Dave Aude Ft. Lena Katina – Never Forget You (Official Remixes)

by: Taj | February 9th, 2012

Lena Katina, formerly known as the red-headed faux-lesbian of T.A.T.U., has been given a pretty got remix treatment by the one and only Dave Aude. Her debut single “Never Forget You” was her official kiss of goodbye to her former self as a pop vixen in a russian pop-duo. The single (which sounded like a T.A.T.U. single) didn’t really make of an impression but she’s hoping to make it happen by releasing the song here in the US as a dance single, putting Dave Aude’s name as the headliner and herself as a featured artist. Smart route if you ask me! Anyhow, check out this ass shakin’ remix package that might just revive Lena’s career by transforming her into a dance diva.

New Music: Melanie Amaro (US X Factor Winner) – Respect

by: Taj | February 6th, 2012

Have you heard Melanie Amaro, the first winner of US X Factor’s new single “RESPECT” that was featured in a Super Bowl commercial?!! Me either because according to Melanie, this is NOT her first OFFICIAL single and is being promoted as her “Super Bowl Commercial” PROMO single. Anyhow, weather or not she wants this track to represent her music debut, the Stargate produced Aretha Franklin cover is being serviced to club DJ’s in extended form and is actually very impressive! Her spot-on vocals soar over the throwback to 90′s house music production… I’m sure we’ll have some hot remixes heading our way soon! Check out the radio edit and tell me weather or not this would get your hips shaking on the dancefloor….
