Remix Treatment: BWO – Right Here, Right Now (Ralphi Rosario & Cahill Remixes)

by: Taj | March 11th, 2010

BWO’s latest, “Right Here, Right Now” has been remixes by the legendary Chicago based DJ/producer Ralphi Rosario! (If you read my blog enough, you know he’s one of my all-time favorites!) I wasn’t a huge fan of this song but I love Ralphi’s take on it. UK based production team, Cahill, also took a good swing at the song. Take a listen to both and tell me which one you’re feelin’…

I recently came across this “hella” psychedelic remix video that someone made to my maushup remix of No Doubt’sHella Good“. WOW!! What a flashback for me… I made this remix years ago!!! I used Peter Ruahofer’s dub version of H.O.G ft. Groovelines Got To Dance Discoas the instrumentation for this remix, which went on to be one of my most popular mashups that I’ve done to date! This video was created by Youtube user thedancetube … I recommend you check out his channel!

Cover Art: Death Metal Disco Scene – I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston Cover)

by: Taj | March 9th, 2010

Since Whitney Houston can barley since this song herself anymore… Death Metal Disco Scene has done a smooth little electro-pop cover of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody“. Love me some Whitney but since she insists on destroying her instrument by smoking, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll just have to look forward to some amazing covers of her classic hits if I want to hear them sung properly!

by: Taj | March 5th, 2010

Ke$ha’s latest little pop ditty, “Blah Blah Blah,” has been remixed by Mike Bordes & Klubjumpers. What is it about her music that can be so annoying but so damn catchy at the same time?! It’s like junk food… I know it’s not good for me but I LOVE IT!

Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning Cover Of Joan Jett’s “Cherry Bomb”….

by: Taj | March 4th, 2010

Not a fan of Kristen Stewart but when I first read that she was starring in a new movie called The Runaways playing rock icon Joan Jett, I thought I might give her another chance. Today, I came across this cover of Joan’s hit “Cherry Bomb” that Kristen recorded with co-star Dakota Fanning and I seriously doubt I will see this movie now! THIS SUCKS SO BAD IT’S SACRILEGIOUS!!!! You could tell me that Joan Jett herself produced this version and thinks it’s better than her own and I would still want to gouge my eardrums out with ice-picks…

I’m feelin’ it! Love Carely’s vocals though I wish I would stop comparing her to Evanescence front woman Amy Lee in my head. Check it out…

Just when I thought that Rihanna’sRudeboy” was unsalvageable as far as a dance remix… Wideboys have completely turned it out into a dancefloor anthem!!! LOVE THIS VERSION! And love the remix has been put to video as well!

by: Taj | March 2nd, 2010

Up and coming singer/songwriter Mateo has just done a beautiful cover of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance“. As sick as I am of this song, I could listen to this new version on repeat for weeks! Also, check out Mateo’s Myspace page where you can hear some of his other recordings which are all pretty INCREDIBLE!!!

by: Taj | March 2nd, 2010

Robbie Williams‘ track “Difficult For Weirdos” has been remixed by the Crookers. This dubstep take on the song is not necessarily my cup of tea but is still an interesting listen if you are a fan of the song.
