Jennifer Lopez is back with yet another Pitbull assisted first single called “#LIVEITUP“. At first listen, I’m not taking to this one as much as I did “On The Floor” & “Dance Again“. Parts of it I like, but the problem is that the song is all over the place. Besides the fact that I’m not a Pitbull fan and obviously I don’t like his part of the song, the track as a whole sounds like she tried take a couple of different ideas for two or three different songs and mash them all together into one big hot mess. Not to mention that the chorus is a bit cheezy! And what’s up with all these #hashtag #songtitles lately? This trend #needs #to #stop #!!!! Are you feeling the new J Lo? COMMENT HERE…
Selena Gomez has unveiled her new music video for her hot new single “Come & Get It” today! One things for certain… Selena sure ain’t that sweet innocent little girl anymore! Loving the new exotic sex-kitten persona! Check it out…
Today the dance music world has lost a legend! Grammy award winning DJ/producer Peter Rauhofer lost his battle with brain cancer leaving behind a world of mourning fans. For avid fans such as myself, Peter will forever live on with the music legacy that he has left behind. His productions have been staples in my sets since I first started my career as a DJ and have inspired me through out that years to this very day. The long list of musical gems that he has left us with are an integral part of my musical DNA as they are for many other DJs across the globe. He was a one of a kind dance music legend that had his own distinct sound! With a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, I want to thank Peter (wherever you are now) for all of the essential contributions that you have brought to help shape the dance music world and I hope you are finally at peace… We love you Peter.
Mariah Carey has just unveiled her new song “#Beautiful” which is a duet with r&b crooner Miguel. I really love this song but I still have a big gripe about it. Miguel sings on the track more than Mariah… Literally! He sings the entire first verse and chorus by himself! I mean if we’re being homnest, Mariah should be the featured artist on this one considering how little she sings in it. I don’t understand her train of thought lately when it comes to releases. Ok, done ranting. Putting all that aside… This is acually amazing song and I’m hoping it does well for her!
What about you?! Are you guys feeling the new Miguel Ft. Mariah?! COMMENT HERE…
As much as I tried to resist this new David Guetta single “Play Hard” which features both Akon & Ne-Yo on vocals, I failed miserably and have been playing the song on repeat this week! And now the ridiculously over-the-top cooky music video just makes me love it more!Check it out…
British boy-band The Wanted have their commemorated their love for pop princess Rihanna into song by releasing a new tune titled “Walks Like Rihanna“. Honestly, this isn’t one of their better songs… It sounds more like One Direction than it does The Wanted. But I can’t help and laugh when they sing; “She can’t sing/she can’t dance/but who cares because she walks like Rihanna…” I’m willing to bet there’s gonna be some haters out their that will argue that Rihanna can’t sing or dance either. lol
So the song we’ve all been waiting to hear in full from Beyonce’s Pepsi commercial, “Grown Woman“, can finally be heard in all of it’s glory thanks to this fan-footage that someone recorded at Bey’sMrs. Carter Tour. Though it isn’t the best audio recording, it’s good enough to get a gist of what we should expect. I actually like what I’m hearing so far… Is it amazing? No. Is it debut single worthy? Not really. Is it better than that mess of a “song” “Bow Down” that she worried teased us with? HELL TO THE MUTHA FUCKIN’ YES!! So if Beyonce’s strategy by leaking “Bow Down” first was to disappoint us so badly that when she released anything mediocre level and up afterwards, we would instantly love it out of relief that it wasn’t garbage… Mission accomplished! Take a listen and and POST COMMENTS HERE to tell me what you think of “Grown Woman“…
Jason Derulo is back with a new single titled “The Other Side” along with a pretty awesome lyric video which features the pop-crooner showing off his signature Michael Jackson-eque dance moves.
So it’s not much a sneak peek as it is a major teaser but Mariah Carey released this short clip to get fans all fired up about her “new era” which will apparently be kicked off with a Miguel assisted single titled “Beautiful“. (Or “#Beautiful“) No we don’t really get to hear any of the vocals in Mariah’s little tease but it looks like we’re seeing parts of the music video which looks pretty hot from what we can see. I think it’s smart that they are branding this her first single while completely distancing her from her not-so-triumphant “buzz” single that we shall not name…
Anyhow, are you excited for Mariah’s “beautiful” return to music? Leave comments HERE…
Hey all…. I’m not sure what’s going on with the “comments” feature with the blog. Seems that all the old comments are not showing up and we’re getting an error whenever anyone tries to write a new one. We’re trying to figure it out and will get things running back to normal soon.
If you really want to leave a comment for any of my postings, you can always do so on my blog’s Facebook page where I post every article I write. Some of you guys already do that but wanted to give the others a heads-up in case you haven’t “liked” the page yet…

Folk pop-artist Jewel has just released a new remix album which features some of her best previously released remixes, mixes of her new single as well as exciting new dance versions of two of my favorite songs by her! Cutmore helmed a gorgeous remix of “Standing Still” while Juanjo Martin tackled and nailed the updated dance mix of “Foolish Games“!! I’ve always been a huge fan of Jewel’s voice and I’m very happy to have it back in clubland! Take a listen…
Jewel – Standing Still (Juanjo Martin 2013 Remix):
Ke$ha’s new single “Crazy Kids” has been remixed… Well, not as much “remixed” as it is a new version of the original production with the addition of Will.i.am. Still, I think Will’s inclusion makes for a fun new Ke$ha single to play to death on the radio!! Check it out…
Ke$ha Ft. Will.i.am – Crazy Kids (Remix):

House legends Daft Punk have returned to bring back a little “funk” into the EDM scene! Check out their brand new bass slappin’ single “Get Lucky” which features a little assistance from Pharrell & Nile Rodgers. It’s a 70′s throwback jam that totally grows on you very quickly and will be stuck in your head after only a few listens!
As I patiently await for Madonna’s ultra-hyped #secretproject to finally see the light of day, I have just stumbled on a cool little video clip that’s being circulated around the Internet that was taken from a forthcoming documentary titled “Man Behind the Throne” which tells the story of Vincent Paterson, the man responsible for some of Madonna & Michael Jackson’s most iconic choreography! In the clip we get a never before seen rare look at some at Madonna’s Blonde Ambition Tour rehearsal footage with a commentary from Vincent himself. Pretty interesting stuff… Especially when he describes how the infamous crotch grab in her “Express Yourself” video came about…
Will.i.am is set to release next single off of his still unreleased #willpower album but not without a heap of controversy of course! The new Chris Brown assisted track titled “Let’s Go” is said to have completely ripped off the Arty & Mat Zo EDM anthem “Rebound“. Will’s track is literally a note-for-note recreation of “Rebound” and according to Arty, Mat Zo as well as their label, the “Scream & Shout” crooner never cleared the use of their track. Here is a side by side so you can listen for yourselves…
In an even more unexpected turn of events, Mat Zo has since deleted his Twitter account shortly after this controversy erupted but not for the reason that you would think! Here is Mat’s statement as to what was behind his de-Tweeting!
So basically Mat deactivated his account because he was sick of seeing the racist rants of his disgruntled fans that were racially attacking Chris Brown and will.i.am. If you spend any time at all reading celebrities Twitter accounts or the comment sections of popular blogs, you probably know how rampant racism is on the Internet. I commend Mat for taking a stand against this kind of behavior and issuing a statement in opposition to his own fans. We need more people like him in the EDM community!
