Can You Feel It?

Remember when Britney Spears was hot? Really hot (I couldn't resist the pic)? Even though those days are over, her new songs have really been picked up by the top remixers out there (see Bring The House Down post in April). Case in point, check out the Villains remix later in this post. Also, sorry about the lack of consistency in posting, I've just had a lot to do lately and a few gigs to keep me busy. I think I am going to move to a less frequent posting schedule (twice a week? weekly?) and just try to stuff each post; subscribe by e-mail to hear about a new post as soon as it drops. Also, I'm running out of good genres, so my genre of day is going to be on a break for a bit.

What you need to be listening to:

Circus (Villains Remix) - Britney Spears
Another solid remix from Villains, these guys get it done. It adds some catchy thump to the over-the-top original.
Circus - YouTube

Leave The World Behind (Barletta Edit) - Swedish House Mafia & Laidback Luke
I would move to Sweden to join these guys (definitely a requirement as they quasi-booted out the stellar Eric Prydz/Pryda for moving to London); it's hard to match their knack for monster house hits that they just keep pumping out, along with great remixes. This is a nice edit, that's been circulating the blogs (Hypemachine stream, look for the play button at the bottom right).
Leave The World Behind - Stream

Feel It - DJ Felli Fel Feat. T-Pain, Sean Paul, Flo Rida & Pitbull
This is just one of those thumping mainstream club songs that got me amped.
Feel It - YouTube

Also...

Holler at my boy Kemmik out of Cali who finally got a blog going. Check it out for his own beats; there's some good stuff there and I can see some fire from him once he gets going.

Speaking of fire from local peeps, ZP Boy Wonder dropped a new one for 4/20, check it out.

NEXT POST: Nope, no idea.

Bring The House Down

I'm going for a more multimedia feel (if you can't tell) to keep up the pace of the postings, given that I can't put up as many songs as before. That and making posts a little shorter (though apparently not this one). Still should be good though.

First up, something different and completely unrelated to the feel of the post:

Ministry of Sound - Clubbers Guide to 2009 (Australian Version?)
I normally don't get entire CD's but the Ministry of Sound series always seem to be worth it even if I get rid of over half the songs. Kind of a guilty pleasure? The songs are too big already to post, but here are some of the highlights for me on the CD (YouTube links). Huge range of style even outside of the ones included here (Fake Blood, Inpetto, Bag Raiders, etc.), check it out for yourself even if its just to see a few songs you missed out on (every song is definitely not going to be for everyone).
Human (Ocelot Remix) - The Killers
Everytime We Touch (Extended Mix) - David Guetta, Steve Angello, Jaochim Garraud, Sebastian Ingrosso, Chris Willis
Everything (Magik Johnson Vocal Mix) - P-Money feat. Vince Harder
Come Fly Away (Soha & Adam K Remix) - Benny Benassi
Need Me To Stay - Tommy Trash feat. Mr. Wilson

My genre of the day: D-Town Boogie (not a wiki)

On to the tracks.

What you need to be listening to:

If U Seek Amy (Crookers Toy Soldier Remix) - Britney Spears
This is the Milan boys' (see pic above) re-tool of Ms. Spears' new jam. Big bass and kicks add up to a slower version of the original.

Throwbackkk:

Promised Land - Joe Smooth

Classic, classic house tune. All the hallmarks of early house, it's straight up happy. 'Nuff said.

NEXT POST: Another Britney remix?

More T-Pain and Nigerians In The Basement

So this post has absolutely nothing to do with T-Pain, or Nigerians (Nigeria! Brrratt) for that matter. But hey, who's counting - I can make inside jokes too. Just a heads up to everyone, since I hop around genres so much, there will definitely be some times the songs won't be your thing, but that doesn't mean they'll suck in the next post too, right?

Also, if you subscribe, you'll know when I update and can get yourself some new songs that much faster. The e-mail one works too, I tried it.

And nope, no Know Your Genre. Yet.

My genre of the day: Remixes

What you need to be listening to:

Womanizer (Benny Benassi Club Mix) - Britney Spears
The remix isn't all that different from the original, but it throws in some tight Benassi club energy. Plus, you can delude yourself into thinking you're not actually listening to Britney Spears. I know I do.

Day 'N' Nite (Crookers Remix) - Kid Cudi
A remix from the boys out of Milan, Crookers bring their signature ghettotech touch. If you liked the original, you'll probably like this, it's just a bit more energetic and fun.

Paper Planes (Diplo Street Remix) - M.I.A.
Pretty much the same as the original with some other rappers laying down their rhymes on the track for variety. Noticing a theme? UPDATE: Check out the DFA remix (YouTube link included here) that was featured in Slumdog Millionaire.

Love Can't Turn Around (D-Troy Mix) - D-Troy and Herbick
And now for something completely different. The original was a huge, huge hit way back in 1986 (it being a remix of an Isaac Hayes song from even more back in the day). This is a very, very euro-dancey remix from '07. UPDATE: Download link fixed.

My first post is also full of great remixes, hit that up if you need another fix.
