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:
Rubble? Trouble? Get it? Moving on, this post is going to have a little bit of an urban vibe. Also, sorry for not putting up brand-spanking new songs lately (with the exception of the new Calvin Harris which will be put up in this post too), but my music crawls of late haven't really turned up anything great. That said, all of the songs included in the post are relatively new. UPDATE: I just realized this post is a little longer than most, no worries.
Also, after the mishap with the last post, I'm going to try to back up all my posts (so it hopefully won't be such a pain to find all the old links). And subscribe by e-mail, become a follower, or drop comments. Holler at support.
Dance Wiv Me (feat. Calvin Harris and Chrome) - Dizzee Rascal Dizzee Rascal's (see pic) signature Grime flow over a Calvin Harris beat. A party track, if not quite a club tune. Dance Wiv Me - YouTube Dance Wiv Me - Download
Thrilla - Villians So not really all that urban, but a remix of Thriller, electro-style. Came to me by way of a mass e-mail for a party (holler?). Thrilla - YouTube Thrilla - Download
Against All Odds (feat. Kano) - Chase & Status Chase & Status are actually a drums 'n' bass duo, but this track has a funky, fast hip-hop feel to it. Kano (another Grime mainstay) drops the fitting rhymes. I've included the official video as the YouTube link because it's a cool video, but you do have to wait about 40 seconds until the actual song drops in. Against All Odds - YouTube Against All Odds - Download
Embrace The Martian - Crookers Kid Cudi actually lays it down on this Crookers track. If you liked Day 'N' Nite from the Kid (or the Crookers remix: see More T-Pain... post in Feb.), you'll probably like this. Embrace The Martian - YouTube Embrace The Martian - Download
Green Light (Remix) - Rick Ross Pretty much the same as the original from Andre 3000, but with Rick Ross rapping in the beginning. I thought the original was missing some rap, and this fills it in nicely (another rapping remix of it: ZP Boy Wonder's "Touch You." Holler). Green Light - YouTube Green Light - Download
And (in case you missed it in the last post), the extended mix of Calvin Harris' latest:
I'm Not Alone (Extended Mix) - Calvin Harris Definitely not urban, but ill all the same. I'm Not Alone - Download
NEXT POST: Hopefully not an Re: Barney Rubble post; probably just a regular one. Also, a new Hard-Fi remix by... Axwell.
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. Womanizer - YouTube Womanizer - Download
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. Day 'N' Nite - YouTube Day 'N' Nite - Download 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. Paper Planes - YouTube Paper Planes - Download Paper Planes (DFA) - YouTube 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. Love Can't Turn Around - Streaming Audio Sample Love Can't Turn Around - Download
My first post is also full of great remixes, hit that up if you need another fix.
