Once I get hot, no I don't stop. Watch me like a video, press rewind and let it keep playin, playin in heavy rotation. Tell the DJ bring it back bring it back. Can you bring it back, back, back? Tell the DJ bring it back, bring it back. Can you bring it back, back, back...?"

So, what I've decided to do for the time being is to offer all you some FULL LENGTH vinyl rip packages.<br /><br />I rip them, then try to remaster them for the best quality I can get. Sometimes the vinyl pressings are excellent, sometimes not, but for whatever songs I don't have good digital copies of or for tracks that weren't released digitally, this is how it will be for a bit.<br /><br />I hope you all continue to support me on this endeavor and links will follow soon!<br /><br />Thank you all for understanding!! I appreciate your tolerance and support!!!<br /><br />~ John Michael ~DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-63273642718001854692008-11-26T13:57:00.000-08:002008-11-26T14:01:46.480-08:00Blah on Blogger!!Ok so apparently my blog is under watch as posts keep getting deleted and I keep getting emails saying that Im infringing on the copyrights of...blah blah blah...<br /><br />SO...Im gonna try to post again soon and keep it under the radar!<br /><br />Wish me luck all!!!

Here Judy tackles the subject of spousal abuse (with a hysterical rap and all) and of course some killer F**k You lyrics like 'Hang up, get your stuff and don't look back!

I love editing mixes and all but I also love mashing things up and trying to create some of my own...<br /><br />This is the newest one Im working on and while it still needs to have things tweaked (the track needs to be transposed still to make the chords the same key as the vocals) Im really happy with the structure of the mix itself.<br /><br />So here's the first 3 minutes of it or so...Tell me what you all think!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Suzanne Palmer - Luv 2 Luv 2009 (JM's Demo Clip)</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ojzzyj1g1m1">http://www.mediafire.com/?ojzzyj1g1m1</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kristine W - Never (JM's Love To Infinity Radio Edit)</span><br />**I've been reading mixed reviews of this song and I don't know why!

I've been having to switch schools (and btw if anyone ever thinks about going to a Paul Mitchell Partner School to pursue a career in hairdressing--DON'T DO IT!!! IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY!!!), work more hours and deal with alot of family drama that's been popping up left and right lately.<br /><br />Which all translates into an exhausted John Michael and as much as I hate to admit it, my blog was one of the things that slipped through the cracks along the way.<br /><br />I definitely want to come back and post more, but I apologize once again to you all, I'm going to have to keep requests CLOSED for the time being. I don't know how often I'll get to post but I will try my hardest. If and when the time should come again for requests, I will let you know.<br /><br />Thank you for all your understanding...so let's get to the music!!! New post coming up soon!!!<br /><br />And just to show you all I'm feeling better, I've taken my attention away from my normal David Beckham or Antonio Sabato Jr photos to highlight a new discovery I just made: Nick Youngquest, Rugby Star. ::drool::<br /><br />~ John Michael ~DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-70710367225368320772008-08-22T08:37:00.001-07:002008-08-22T09:24:09.007-07:00Randomness<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iqHvWOQeI8fwtO064Mp-DNwPQokanSTa5Gn7WWCvoNeZgpC7eIl6IQgZcbnBB1B_55bXjCaINYnRCeJ09Yu9DNu8Gvv6jCVxWEgLt8QXJyKVWlSAhiM_HD_QoKOaY6dae5K7QbD7uHU/s1600-h/GCP.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237367082762375538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iqHvWOQeI8fwtO064Mp-DNwPQokanSTa5Gn7WWCvoNeZgpC7eIl6IQgZcbnBB1B_55bXjCaINYnRCeJ09Yu9DNu8Gvv6jCVxWEgLt8QXJyKVWlSAhiM_HD_QoKOaY6dae5K7QbD7uHU/s320/GCP.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I know it's been awhile everyone but I started a really crazy schedule after I got back from celebrating my anniversary and 3 days a week I do 12 hour days, so I'm gonna try to do what I can, but it may just take me some time to get stuff up!

Hah!!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Bob Sinclar presents Fireball - What I Want (Chris Cox Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is a slammin new track from both Bob Sinclar and Chris Cox and it's getting alot of play and I'm sure you're gonna it! This is a really fun, albeit a little strange, male vocal here and Chris' production amps it up--ALOT!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?my5ytzzu6ts">http://www.mediafire.com/?my5ytzzu6ts</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Charlotte Perrelli - Hero (JM's Club Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**She looks like Kristine W and sounds like a love child of Jenna Drey, Danielle Bollinger and Lara Fabian. In her home country of Sweden, this won the 2008 Melodifestivalen (which is the contest that Sweden has to determine who's representing them in the Eurovision song contest) and when she got to the Eurovision contest she placed 18th. In the charts though this went right to #1 in Sweden and was in the top 20 of a few other countries. The song is a great vocal with a very electro, yet Soundfactory type sound to it. I don't know who actually produced this as I got it labeled as "Extended Club Mix" (does anyone know??) but it's a great song all over and needs to be recognized!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?o0rmbxdieyj">http://www.mediafire.com/?o0rmbxdieyj</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Chris Brown - Forever (JM's Bobby Bass & J Remy Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is definitely one of my new obsession songs (especially after seeing it on So You Think You Can Dance). I have to say, I'm really happy with the direction that pop/R&B music is going these days. They've got great beats with awesome synth work and hooks for days! This song in it's original form was just begging to come to the dance floor and through the work of Bobby Bass & J Remy it got there. Who they are, I'm not sure, but from all the mixes I've heard thus far this is definitely the best. It's got some beat changes and a really uplifiting sound that keeps with the original. In the beginning I added the original intro synths and the "1,2,3,4" chant to give it a little extra UMPH!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?fbtsyqipb1d">http://www.mediafire.com/?fbtsyqipb1d</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Coldplay - Viva La Vida (JM's Telemitry Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Finally, me and the hubby have another song we meet on! He's always been a huge Coldplay fan and well, I couldn't really care less about them lol...that is...till I heard this song!! I instantly fell in love with it because of it's melody and string line that they use as well as the song having a pretty steady beat to it. I've found a few mixes of this song (including that AWFUL cover that Almighty did--Good mix, just terrible female vocals) and as it stands, this is the best. I'm looking for the accapella for this song so I too can make my own mix--If anyone out there has it, I'd be EVER so greatful!! This mix though has some great vocal stutters and whoever Telemitry is, they are to be commended for making such a great mix with the original track which usually doesn't work out so well for most!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yhwmvgd7ort">http://www.mediafire.com/?yhwmvgd7ort</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Duffy - Mercy (JM's Gareth Wyn Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This was a song I was sleeping on for awhile and then (again) I saw this on So You Think You Can Dance and fell in love with it. In it's original form, it's very Amy Winehouse-esque minus the whole Meth addiction lol. Gareth Wyn (whoever he may be) did a fantastic job in bringing this to the dance floor and it sounds so natural, something I would've never expected this song to sound like with a beat. Highly reccommended here!!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?iizsgbimswn">http://www.mediafire.com/?iizsgbimswn</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit) **Official Edit**</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**It was bound to happen right?? Well it's finally come to be and I have to say while the original is a disco classic and all, it was never one of my favorites. Bimbo Jones however does have that magic touch and they gave this such a fresh sound that if it wasn't for the backup singers doing their "Dance! Boogie Wonderland" chanting, this could easily have been recording and produced yesterday. I swear I'm gonna make a "I Heart Bimbo Jones" t-shirt one day!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?y4lloujhkmq">http://www.mediafire.com/?y4lloujhkmq</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight (Hotwheel Fidelity Mix) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Mix**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I got this mix the other day and since the mix was only 4 min and change, there was nothing to edit for me.

It's a really cute song and I actually started this edit with the original version and then went into the Hommer mix.

While in the song it ended badly, this mix is anything but!! Super high energy from Thunderpuss here and with a really great vocal breakdown, this mix is definitely irresistible for me!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?qodevylinjx">http://www.mediafire.com/?qodevylinjx</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Britney Spears - I'm A Slave 4 U (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I have to admit, when I first heard this mix I really wasn't a fan. The piano chords seemed off to me and I guess I wanted something a little different from the boys. Well the more I listened to it, the more I started to enjoy it and the way they used Britney's spoken vocals in this is so awesome!! Definitely a fun mix!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?rb1ymar1ypg">http://www.mediafire.com/?rb1ymar1ypg</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Hilary Duff - So Yesterday (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This mix marked a very sad day for me for it was to be Thunderpuss' very last collaboration. All through to the end though, they put their all in it and delivered a great mix! The song is cheesy but it works well with the beat. It's a straight up mainstream pop remix with, of course, lots of energy!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?y2vtztlbwkd">http://www.mediafire.com/?y2vtztlbwkd</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Pet Shop Boys - NYC Boy (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Omg! I love this song! Haha! I was SO obsessed with this when it came out!! PSB came back with a vengeance and this song headed straight to the #1 spot on the dance charts. At the time (1999) I was heavily involved in the NYC club scene so naturally I assumed that this song was written about ME! Hahaha!! Thunderpuss did SUCH an incredible job but all the mixes to this were great from Superchumbo to Almighty and Lange, everyone involved gave it their all!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?c2tttv4rhxj">http://www.mediafire.com/?c2tttv4rhxj</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Aqua - Around The World (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Ok, so we all know Aqua from their cheese-smash hit "Barbie Girl" but there was life for the group after that. This song, the second single from their second CD "Aquarius" had Aqua changing their "Barbie Girl" style to a more anthemic sound and who better to take that on than Junior?? Say what you want, but I always thought this was a slammin mix because the melody and structure of the song allow for a very grandiose production from Junior and that's where I like him best! The original mix which clocks in at 13 min & 40 sec here gets trimmed down to about 4 and change. Definitely get ahold of the full mix. It's totally worth it!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?phsxi8nkttp">http://www.mediafire.com/?phsxi8nkttp</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Laura Turner - Soul Deep (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Laura Turner to me, is one part Sarah Brightman and one part Delerium. Being that she sounds very similar to Sarah Brightman, I immediately loved this song when I got a promo of the original. I was VERY shocked to see that this song made it's way to Junior's lap. Junior takes the song as far away from the original as possible, giving her voice a nice echo effect and using some real tribal drums throughout.**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ydzpk2gkfrc">http://www.mediafire.com/?ydzpk2gkfrc</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Anastacia - I'm Outta Love (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This was the song that started my love affair with Anastacia (born Anastacia Lyn Newkirk). At this time I was basically in Sam Goody every day ravaging the CD single section looking for anything that had Hex Hector, Junior Vasquez, Tony Moran & Thunderpuss on it. When I found this, I didn't really know who she was but if it had Hex on the single, it was good enough for me! THANK GOD I bought this!! Anastacia's first single (which got to #2 on the dance charts) is a stunner all around! A fantastic vocal from Anastacia (she became my new Taylor Dayne) and a thumping mix from Hex made for some dance music drama which still holds up today! Also I'm very excited because Anastacia is supposed to be releasing her new CD "Heavy Rotation" on October 24th of this year!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?6sgre0m2yjs">http://www.mediafire.com/?6sgre0m2yjs</a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ydzpk2gkfrc"></a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Jessica Simpson - Irresistable (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Jessica's lead single from her third CD of the same name started to show a slightly more mature Jessica and definitely a sexier Jessica as she sings about how irresistible her beau is. And when that beau is Nick Lachey, who can blame her? ::swoon:: This song only got to #15 on the Hot 100 charts but also peaked at #3 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts.

Lisa sounds beautiful as always as she breezes through Hex's remix which has her telling off her man.

The first 45 seconds were a nightmare for me as I was wracking my brain trying to chop out Thunderpuss' very long intro to this mix. This one was never officially released but thank God it leaked. I never understood why the Above & Beyond mix was such a big to-do with this song as it just never really did anything for me, and the mix was even used in the video for this song as well. ::shrug::</div><div> </div><div>This mix also had a lot of controversy surrounding it as Barry Harris explained in an interview with About.com. This also shows the negative effect mis-labeling mixes can cause. It's one of my biggest pet peeves:</div><div> </div><div><strong>Barry Harris:</strong> We did what I thought was a really kick-ass job of "What It Feels Like For A Girl," and we did it early, like two or three months ahead of time. Everybody knew that we were working on it and someone somewhere took the original album version of "What It Feels Like For A Girl," put it on the net and said it was a Thunderpuss mix. That's all they had to do, and that messed everything up. Someone at Warners said they saw a Thunderpuss mix was already on the net and people are already downloading it. That started this fire within the record company and Madonna, and we were like "no, it's not our mix", we have not done anything. They just cancelled our entire mix, period, and that was it, the end of story. It's that simple. We worked with them again later and everything was cool. But it was just such an annoying, stupid reaction that people freaked-out over what wasn't true and our mix wasn't on there, when we worked so very hard and put so much blood, hard guts and soul into it. We did three recalls, because we weren't happy with it. We'd play it out on the weekends and put a lot of heart into that, only to have that stupid situation snuff it out. That was rather disappointing, but I'm over it now. There's my whine story for ya! </div>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-61974126220217190002008-08-05T09:28:00.000-07:002008-08-05T10:00:13.117-07:00Offer Nissim<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYmT50vtwM4CTdoqLk8oeiDj_ZuYFV9PcH_p18PSs1ezXvY4RV3V5fdKsH3KyL0HVR0-OFTSsvzXdcXgwZ6ZyEsn0vaPPfgnw9LLnCkzwwEssC3ZZuC0y492b6EaPc2e_zRTfjWqfBqw/s1600-h/OfferNissim.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYmT50vtwM4CTdoqLk8oeiDj_ZuYFV9PcH_p18PSs1ezXvY4RV3V5fdKsH3KyL0HVR0-OFTSsvzXdcXgwZ6ZyEsn0vaPPfgnw9LLnCkzwwEssC3ZZuC0y492b6EaPc2e_zRTfjWqfBqw/s320/OfferNissim.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231071585024017362" border="0" /></a><br />I love this man! I had known about him for awhile behind the scenes as the producer for the majority of Dana International's records but when I started looking more into his own projects I was blown away!!<br /><br />FINALLY someone had come along with a new sound in dance music and gave the front runners something to be worried about! Chock full of Israeli and Middle Eastern influences, he truly brought the gorgeousness back to dance music. His music is as theatrical as he is (go see him live if you ever get the chance--it's surreal!) and he conducts his orchestra as such. He needs no further introduction...<br /><br />Some of these have been posted before and so I'll just put up the links.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Deborah Cox - Everybody Dance (Offer Nissim Radio Edit) </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">**Official Edit**</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Offer takes on another Deborah and Tony Moran production and while he simplifies it by only using a portion of the vocals, he makes this summer jam very atmospheric and very Offer.

Good mixes but always felt like a filler song and not as anthemic as most of their others. This song I felt was very under the Peter Rauhofer influence of the one verse-one chorus structure which I'm not a huge fan of. Think Amuka's "Appreciate Me"**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?giucjvpmk3w">http://www.mediafire.com/?giucjvpmk3w</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Offer Nissim feat Maya - Heartbreaking (JM's Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This has a beautiful vocal from Maya and very dreamy synth work by Offer. Definitely one of the standout tracks from the "First Time" CD for me. I was going through a breakup when I got the "First Time" CD and between "Alone" and this song, I felt that Offer and Maya knew just what I was going through! Haha! Especially when you have lyrics like "You promised that you wouldn't leave me when I need you/But you just kept on running away/You promised that you would be there if I'm with you/But you were not there anyway...". **</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?v5qrb1ccwiz">http://www.mediafire.com/?v5qrb1ccwiz</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Offer Nissim feat Maya - On My Own (JM's Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Following in the trend of "Heartbreaking" we have another breakup song but this time Maya's pissed and she's not having ANY of it!! Lemme put it this way:"I don't need you to tell me what I can do/Where I can go/And I don't need you to tell me what I can know/What I can not know/I don't need you to tell me who I can see/Who I cannot see/I don't need you to tell me who I can be with/Who I can be not/I don't need you to tell me who I can be with tonight/And if it feels right/That is only my right".

Well I have to say that this mix is just as good as the original without actually being any better because it has some different elements (I gag over his vocal stutters in this one) that work perfectly with the song structure. I love them both equally and the update Offer gave to this song is perfect and Maya sounds amazing as usual. There's another mix, the "Perfect Club Mix" and I don't like it at all.

Never did I think that it would get to the clubs so imagine my surprise hearing THIS out one night (I GAGGED!!)!! JP really made a great mix here using alot (but unfortunately not all) of the vocals Ewan gave us and this mix can be a little repetative sometimes as JP loops the "Hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is now you're in the world..." lyric over and over...But I fixed all that!

That's one of the main reasons I love dance music. It really allows for any type of creativity to be expressed in so many different forms. It actually took me a long time to appreciate this mix. Janet gives a fun pop vocal but not a strong vocal in this one and I didn't think it would hold up under a heavy dance beat. Well, JP must've felt the same way because he definitely toned it down for this mix, lowering the BPM and giving us a wonderfully lush arrangement of conga drums, guitars, winds and strings which make this mix float by and kinda make me wanna just sit by a pool and drink margaritas all day!

Part Swedish part Sengalese, Jessica gives one of the most outstanding pop vocals to ever be remixed! Unfortunately, we here in America only gave her this one chance to show us what she's got but Jessica had a very successful career overseas and continued to release music till 2007. If you can track it down, I highly reccommend her CD "Dino". It's one of the most well produced Pop CD's I've ever heard and Jessica's voice is simply stunning! Did you know that Jessica's actual last name is "Folcker" but so many Americans were pronouncing it "fucker" that she dropped the "c" when it came time for the release of this song?

Period. Luz has one of the most gorgeous voices to ever grace the dancefloor and this song, unfortunately, never saw a proper release when Luz released her CD "The Other Side" but managed to leak anyway. Easily one of the best Luz songs I've ever heard both lyrically and production wise. Luz gives us a very ethereal vocal here and JP's mix is very understated which pairs beautifully with the song. STUNNING!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?qztvumhzuvy">http://www.mediafire.com/?qztvumhzuvy</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Luz Divina - In Your Eyes (JM's Jonathan Peters Mixshow Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Ok, I admit it, I just don't know how to get this mix ANY shorter than this, and this one clocks in at 7:10! I've heard many versions of this mix with many different vocals as Luz has recorded this song a few times, with different lyrics and different productions by JP. This, to my knowledge, is the most complete version produced, and the original comes in around 12 minutes so while this one is 7 minutes long, it is ALL vocal and I defy you to find me a more passionate dancefloor vocal than this on!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mumgir1nnj1">http://www.mediafire.com/?mumgir1nnj1</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Nomad - I Wonder (JM's Jonathan Peters Maharishi Radio Mix)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I posted the Junior Vasquez edit of this, and I love his mix, but this one is really just a take no prisoners kinda mix. It still has that middle eastern feel to it, but JP brings in some of the hardest and most distorted synths I've ever heard!! This mix is just sheer insanity!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yuuzihfkske">http://www.mediafire.com/?yuuzihfkske</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Shannon - Give Me Tonight (JM's Jonathan Peters Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Again, we all know the Hex/Dezrok mix of this, but JP once again flips the script and brings this 80's classic to a place it never intended to be. It's SO much harder and much more agressive than Hex's mix and I love that he uses the original whip noise in this one--This one MUST be played at loud volumes for maximum appreciation!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tdlmc7tgdte">http://www.mediafire.com/?tdlmc7tgdte</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>TRF - Bravestory (JM's Jonathan Peters Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I always find it interesting when these DJ's remix non-English speaking artists because I've always wondered if the process is different. Like, how do they know which lyric sample to use? What should they be looping?? How do they know they're not just sampling the word "The" over and over again because it's in Japanese or whatever the language is?? Well, TRF (which actually stands for Tetsuya Komuro Rave Factory) is a Japanese band (made up of DJ Koo, Vocalist Yu-Ki and dancers Chiharu, Etsu & Sam), but they decided here to try their hand at English. Sometimes it works and sometimes, not so much lol. The vocal I've always enjoyed and TRF continues to enjoy success to this day in Japan. JP takes on this song originally released in 1996 but TRF has also been remixed by Thunderpuss, Soul Solution and Dezrok to name a few!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?32dqmzwif2z">http://www.mediafire.com/?32dqmzwif2z</a></div>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-10583173789167292302008-08-02T12:35:00.000-07:002008-08-02T12:47:26.857-07:00Strange things happening...?Hey all!<br /><br />I'm not sure what happened here, but as DM pointed out in the chat box, my last post seems to have dissappeared.

It's a straight up dance mix with just a standard production which works great with Ciara's delivery here.

I don't know how Donna got caught up in that but I'm glad she did. JP offered both a regular club mix and a Sound Factory mix for this. The Sound Factory mix is definitely the fun one here!! The beats are hard and the build up is intense!! After the build up it almost sounds like an out of control merry-go-round or like they say in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, "Merry Go Round Broke Down" hahaha!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?b0y9ymbjamb">http://www.mediafire.com/?b0y9ymbjamb</a></p><p><strong>Jon Secada - Stop (Jonathan Peters Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**In 2000 Jon released his "Better Part Of Me" CD and this was the only single released both in English and in Spanish (as "Asi") which only charted at #23 but made it to #15 on the dance charts. Jon sounds very at home with the dance beat and JP put together a really great mix that compliments the melody of the song.**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mn4v4jxkqmp">http://www.mediafire.com/?mn4v4jxkqmp</a></p><p><strong>Karissa Noel - Corrupt (Jonathan Peters Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is a JP classic and it's easy to see why!! Karissa gives us a really sexy vocal with JP's anthemic production and result is legendary. How can you argue with the lyrics "Deny me if you think you can/But I always get my man/And before this night is through/I will corrupt you...". This song is diva personified. And don't forget to check out the Becky Baeling cover which is a few posts back!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?bm2eybcz1ym">http://www.mediafire.com/?bm2eybcz1ym</a></p><p><strong>Katrina Ruiz - You're Gonna Miss Me (Jonathan Peters Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**So this song came out of nowhere and I've yet to find any information about her at all! This got a full-fledged release on both CD and vinyl on the Robbins label in 2002 and yet no one seems to know who she is. Anyone? Anyone!!?? Either way, this song is incredible and the CD offers mixes by JP, Al B Rich and Rob Girellini. Al B Rich's is definitely my fave (I'll post that one soon) but JP did a very "No One's Gonna Change You" mix here if you know what I mean. Very pretty with a killer diva vocal!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jmj2fmj1joy">http://www.mediafire.com/?jmj2fmj1joy</a></p><p><strong>Kumi Koda - Take Back (Jonathan Peters Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I posted the Junior Vasquez mix of this not too long ago and here's JP's take on it. This edit has a lower bpm which is kinda nice because it makes Kumi's vocals a little bit easier to understand.**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?poolmeltej9">http://www.mediafire.com/?poolmeltej9</a></p><p><strong>Reina - No One's Gonna Change You (Jonathan Peters Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is definitely one of JP's finest moments. This stunningly lush mix has Reina pulling out the stops on this dance music torch song! I've always enjoyed Robbie Tronco's mix alot (can't beat that violin solo!) but this one has an extra added bridge in it that Robbie's doesn't have. Reina, of course, sounds incredible and this one will never go away! Always a favorite!!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5mkinpcforp">http://www.mediafire.com/?5mkinpcforp</a></p><p><strong>Rockell - What U Did 2 Me (JM's Dirty Jonathan Peters Radio Edit)</strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is probably my favorite Rockell song ever!! Rockell is pissed off to no end here and she's gonna tell us ALL about it--With the help of JP of course! As angry as Rockell gets (with lyrics like "Who do you think you're fooling?/Love ain't a game to be played/My heart is empty/Like the promises you made/But now I'm getting stronger/And I don't need you any longer.") is as agressive as JP gets with some of the best distorted synths I've ever heard. The CD single came with a radio edit, full mix, a dub and the "dirty mix" which is really more of a mixshow. So I took the mixshow and I chopped it up a bit and added my favorite part of the full mix which is the synth line that comes in at 3:57 (stunning!) and then brought it all back. My other favorite part is when Rockell goes "Did you hear that?/No, you don't know that sound/Well it's all the shit you did to me/And it's coming around."--WERQ!!!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?pen9wd2nndd">http://www.mediafire.com/?pen9wd2nndd</a></p>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-37279078877762649622008-07-25T06:31:00.001-07:002008-07-28T12:15:38.789-07:00I'm in a trance and my world is spinning...Spinning baby, out of control...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_Ws-Oq3HwRXxxbT69w7nn8uzE4P9fPku2oUJkVk8xLeM1SUmj75fakAy-Zdyrx2kdoKhPu7gZPp3bB5rA-xrmRKQKs0k2wJT7kMq3P0rSqnPg6MHjvPIKubTzKZdotySBsLIfMTJqK0/s1600-h/Antonio+Sabato+Jr+3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226943950449792802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_Ws-Oq3HwRXxxbT69w7nn8uzE4P9fPku2oUJkVk8xLeM1SUmj75fakAy-Zdyrx2kdoKhPu7gZPp3bB5rA-xrmRKQKs0k2wJT7kMq3P0rSqnPg6MHjvPIKubTzKZdotySBsLIfMTJqK0/s320/Antonio+Sabato+Jr+3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />He's so breathtaking. ::swoon::<br /><br />So I was feeling a little trancey yesterday when I was working on editing, and this is what I got. Some are alternate mixes of songs you all might know and some are just really great hard house/trance songs. Im usually only in this kinda mood when I'm really over caffinated, so drink up boys and get your trance on! :-D<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Angelic - Can't Keep Me Silent (JM's Jam X & Dumonde Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)">**This song is nuts!!

So make sure when you DL it you're changing the title cause there's nothing worse than not giving the credit where it's due!! Mandy Moore released her fourth CD named "Coverage" where she payed tribute to all of the artists who inspire her which includes this cover of the classic John Hiatt.

I'm very excited about this post! I actually had the VERY great honor to be the opening DJ for Chris Cox (that's me and him!) when he played in NYC at Spirit and let me tell you--Aside from being one of the best nights of my life, he was the NICEST person ever!! The minute he walked into the booth I started sweating lol. I was playing Inaya Day's cover of "Nasty Girl" when he walked in and he was like "Oooh! I hear a Vanity 6 sample!" and I said "Oh, this is Inaya Day's cover of Nasty Girl" and he just went "Oh nice! I like it!"...and it kinda blew my mind he hadn't heard it but I guess that's what happens when you're so involved in the industry!<br /><br />There's really not much more to say about him! After Thunderpuss split he continued to be amazing...That's all I got! Hah!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anna Vissi - Call Me (Chris Cox Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This was SUCH an amazing vocal.

Released on EsNtion records (Ascention--Get the biblical reference? lol) this was a fantastic package! Two CD's of remixes, dubs and edits from Chris Cox, Davidson Ospina, Phenix, Thick Dick (which is weird to read that on a God fearing record label lol) and Josh Harris so there's definitely something for everyone! Chris' is definitely the mix to beat and listening to her sing makes me sad that she's no longer making music.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zl1ytcydxbo">http://www.mediafire.com/?zl1ytcydxbo</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Debby Holliday - Dive (Chris Cox Radio Edit) </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">**Official Edit**</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**So Debby walked into the Perfect Beat offices and said "I wanna be a dance music diva" and they made her one! True story!! If I had only known it was THAT easy! Did you know that she's actually the daughter of singer/songwriter Jimmy Holliday and that she toured as a backup singer for people like Rod Stewart and Kiss? Craziness!! ALSO she even sang the theme song "Dig Deep" for Courtney Cox' sitcome "Dirt"! This girls been busy!! Well this is one of my fave songs by her and I believe this was the first single as well.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?njznmojsjjt">http://www.mediafire.com/?njznmojsjjt</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Donna Summer - I Will Live For Love (JM's Chris Cox Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Easily one of Donna's best!

Her CD "Expose This" is an excellent piece of dance pop music which everyone should own! This however is one of my favorite songs by her! It went all the way to #3 on the charts and it's easy to see why! Chris actually put together a funkier mix here and it's perfect over lyrics like "You're wreckin my nerves/Was that your intention?/Cause baby it worked/You're like an infection/You're wreckin my nerves/It's 24-7/You drive me insane/Why you always stressing me out?!". And there's more great lyrics all throughout the track as well.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9jdobas1txh">http://www.mediafire.com/?9jdobas1txh</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GTS feat Norman Jean & Luci M - Le Freak (JM's Chris Cox Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Well we know that Chris and Barry used the sample for this in their song with Jocelyn Enriquez which is a few posts back but now, featuring two of the original members of Chic, it gets it's own proper remix!

SOOOOOO good! I believe that SK8 finally found her element. While I've loved almost all her stuff, some of it is a little...er...specific but now, that's all changed.

This story is the one I wrote after to going out for my birthday in 2006. I went to see Junior Vasquez at Cielo and then later that night went to Alegria (at Crobar) to see Tony.<br /><br />This is exactly why I can't wait to see him again!!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:100%;" >Feb 2006<br /><br />If Music Is Your Life, Just Keep On Dancing...<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 255);font-size:100%;" >We're gonna turn this party out!<br />Turn it! Uh huh!<br />We're gonna burn this party down<br />In Alegria!<br />I'm gonna wear your body out!<br />Shake it! Shake it up!<br />Cause it don't happen, happen everyday<br />Give it up for Alegria!<br /><br />Been waiting for tonight<br /><br />I wanna see some hands in the sky!<br />Raise em high!<br />Lift em up!<br />Keep em up!<br />Well alright!<br />I wanna see some hands in the sky!<br />Raise em high!<br />Lift em up!<br />Lift em up!!<br /><br />It's tonight!<br />Can you feel it?!<br /><br />Alegria<br /><br />Been waiting for tonight<br />For Alegria...<br /><span family="SANSSERIF" pt="" style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" lang="0">- Tony Moran & Ric Sena feat Zhana Saunders - "Waiting For Alegria"</span><br /><br />I'm sitting here right now, trying to reflect on what exactly went on last night. My mind is still blown.<br /><br />To try and pay tribute to my night seems almost trite. How can I really put into words what can only be described as a full body experience?<br /><br />For those of you who aren't avid house-heads like me, think about the band you love the most and seeing them in an incredible venue with an amazing sound system, playing all of your favorite songs and sounding like sheer perfection. That's the closest thing I can come to for an explanation.<br /><br />But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning.<br /><br />It's around 8:30 and I'm driving to pick up my friend Bobby. Originally we were going to take the ferry in and whatnot, but I veto-ed that idea when I felt just how cold it was and knowing how spoiled I am with my car, I knew driving in was my only option.<br /><br />I knew that tonight was going to be special for a few reasons:<br /><br />1) This starts my birthday week celebration (Haha!)<br />2) I was going to see Junior Vasquez (ALWAYS a good time!)<br />3) I was going to see Tony Moran @ Alegria (I had never heard him spin and had never been to an Alegria party as yet.)<br />4) I was going with a good group of my boys (Bobby, Billy & his friend Kevin)<br /><br />To say I was pumped up about all this is a real understatement.<br /><br />After we got to Billy's apartment and had a few drinks, we were on our way to Cielo to see Her Royal Highness, Junior Vasquez.<br /><br />We got inside and it was MOBBED to say the least! There were people everywhere! Now, Cielo isn't a huge place and it usually plays house to some of the more disco/funky house DJ's like Little Louie Vega and such so I knew that I would be in for a different kind of Junior. However, any kind of Junior is alright by me.<br /><br />As I had suspected, he kept things pretty funky for the majority of the night. The highlight for me was when he threw in "Nothingness" by Karmadelic feat Sandy B. Billy and I had just about freaked! Haha!<br /><br />No matter what kind of music that man plays though, there's a story you can sense. It's a journey. There's an undercurrent of artistry there that you just don't get with alot of DJ's and when you're hearing a song that's been remixed or produced by Junior, you know it. Everything has it's place and the place is perfect. Being such a Junior freak, you'll think I'm biased and maybe I am, but that's what made my night so great!<br /><br />The only downfall to the evening was that Cielo was having problems with it's air conditioning and the place was like a turkish sauna. 100's of people packed into a small venue and it was sweltering.<br /><br />Side note: I spent most of the night dancing next to a very messy Carson Kressley from Queer Eye From The Straight Guy. Let me tell you--It's amazing the things TV make-up can do! Yikes!<br /><br />Some more highlights for me was hearing Junior's mixes of Beyonce's "Check On It", Pink's "Stupid Girl" & Vernessa Mitchell's "Love Will Find A Way". At around 1:30 though, I just couldn't take the heat anymore. I had been dancing non-stop and was dripping wet.<br /><br />So back in the car we went and headed to Crobar.<br /><br />Now, as I've said, I had never heard Tony Moran spin before. I've always loved his productions and mixes but sometimes DJ's can be a real let down when you get them behind the turntables (::cough::peterrauhofer::cough cough::). I had very high expectations though, aside from the $60 cover charge! Truth be told, I would've paid $100.<br /><br />For me, and maybe this is strange, it takes more than just a good DJ to make a good event.<br /><br />Yes, the DJ is the main part, but everyone involved needs to be going for the same goal and that means bouncers, coat check people, bathroom attendants, bartenders, ID checkers, security...etc... (Et Cetra! LoL Billy!!)<br /><br />And from the get-go, everyone was respectful and very friendly. Always a good sign.<br /><br />The first thing I was hit with was just HOW many people were there. I've never seen a space of that size inhabited by THAT many people before!!<br /><br />First track as we walked in: "El Tigre" (Deep Influence Mix)<br /><br />We all battled the crowd and made our way to the front right side of the stage and started dancing. The energy in the room was high and the music was as big room as it could be. Besides, in NY, there aren't many rooms bigger than Crobar, if any.<br /><br />What happened next was nothing short of magical. So much in fact that it's hard to put it down into words.<br /><br />But I'll try.<br /><br />Let me start with a very bold statement: Never in all the years of my clubbing have I ever heard a DJ mix an entire evening of music so flawlessly.<br />Any expectations I had for this evening were met and then surpassed with ease.<br /><br />Tony had his hand on the pulse of the event and over and over again kept jolting you with music that you could NOT stand still to, even in such small confines of dancing space.<br /><br />One of my favorite things to see when I'm out is when you look into the crowd and everyone has their hands up in the air, singing along or just freaking out to the same thing you are. In an abstract way it's like being part of a huge family. You're all there for the same reason. Everyone wants to have a good time and everyone is doing their best to enhance their experience.<br /><br />Tony Moran was the Mama and the lighting guy was the Papa. Haha!<br /><br />It's hard to breakdown the night into highlights because every single song, even if I didn't know it, was incredible! Adjective's do it NO justice.<br /><br />From what I can remember though:<br /><br />Rosabel - "Rhythm Intoxication", Mariah Carey - "Don't Forget About Us" (Yeah, I freaked out to this one), Offer Nissim feat Maya - On My Own (Freaking out again!), Kim English - It Makes A Difference (Dub & Club Mix--The Dub was outstanding!)<br /><br />But the piece de resistance for me was Tony's 2006 Re-Do of Mary J Blige's "Your Child". For anyone who knows this song, you know the Junior Vasquez mix. Junior's mix is and was still great but I have to say (and you know this is serious!), Tony's mix made me say "Junior who???". He completely ripped through that song like nothing I've heard in my life!!! I almost danced to the entire song with my hand covering my mouth because I just couldn't believe what I was hearing!!!<br /><br />Then Alegria favorite, Zhana Saunders, came on stage to perform her new Alegria song, "Cafe Con Alegria". She looked and sounded amazing!!<br />Just then, the released about 2 tons of confetti! There is no way to describe what it looked like, felt like, sounded like...am I becoming redundant yet?? lol<br /><br />They also released napkins from the ceiling to wipe yourself off with, which I thought was an awesome idea, albeit illegal (Thanks Billy! lol).<br /><br />Even now, I have so many memories and recollections going through my mind it's hard to think about it all and get it all down here.<br /><br />Somewhere around 7AM Bobby and I left and we made the LONGEST journey home of our lives haha!<br /><br />My birthday is actually this Friday, but this is the weeklong celebration and I can't imagine a better way to start it off!<br /><br />I hope that you can get some kind of incling what it was like. I'm officially addicted to Alegria and Tony Moran. It was a complete re-affirmation of why I love this music and why I love this lifestyle.<br /><br />Tony Moran, you are a God among men. Alegria was just a mere love song from you to us and we all felt loved.<br /><br />And until next time I'll be waiting for that night...For Alegria...<br /><br />Till Then,<br />John Michael</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I'm literally counting down the days!!!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Celine Dion - To Love You More (Tony Moran Crossover Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**GAG!

Up until very recently, I had never heard of him and now I see his music on blogs everywhere. I have to admit, I do have a love for the faster, harder trance type songs as well, but I have to be in the mood. His CD all in all is pretty fabulous tho! This is the second single from his "Now You're Gone" CD and the Wideboys made this song alot more accessible to the mainstream who's hearts cant handle beats over 145 lol. The Wideboys might be one of the best remixers of 2008. Brilliant and so much fun here!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dxdxpxyydj9">http://www.mediafire.com/?dxdxpxyydj9</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Carillo & Amador feat Ronnie Sumrall - Save Me (Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I found this song randomly on a blog and I'm guessing that the Amador in this team is Eddie Amador? Does anyone know for sure? Either way, this is a slick male vocal with a nice electro production by Carillo & Amador. Good for early evening music or early morning...depending on how you're looking at it lol...**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?qgy1qgtxdma">http://www.mediafire.com/?qgy1qgtxdma</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Erin Hamilton - Control Yourself (JM's Lenny B Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Diva Erin Hamilton is BACK! After a hiatus, Solar City's golden girl who gave us the classics "The Flame" (which just saw 2008 mixes) and her cover of "Dreamweaver", returns with an awesome vocal anthem! There's been oodles of mixes of this but this is the one I've gravitated towards the most so far. Is it just be or does she sound...blacker...now? Like she picked up some serious soul in her voice. It was great before but she sounds amazing now!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?djwmrdmzmvj">http://www.mediafire.com/?djwmrdmzmvj</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jim Verraros - You're Getting Crazy (L.E.X. Radio Edit) **Official Edit**</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I posted an edit I did for the Mike Cruz mix and then I stumbled across this official edit from LEX who's productions never dissappoint. Dark and progressive, they take this song on with awesome results!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nbmxnmdhdcg">http://www.mediafire.com/?nbmxnmdhdcg</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jody Watley - I Want Your Love (JM's Wideboys Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Jody Watley??!! Yeah, I can't believe it either! I know she's been recording still but I haven't really gotten into some of her stuff (I didn't enjoy her Madonna "Borderline" cover that much) but NOW? Well clutch the pearls because Miss Jody is back with a stunning cover of this 70's classic, originally done by Chic! This is sure to not dissappoint! Incredible vocals from Jody and a really fun mix from The Wideboys once again!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?m4yp0tj2lle">http://www.mediafire.com/?m4yp0tj2lle</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kurtis Mantronik feat Kelly Marie Smith - I Can't Wait (JM's Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Speaking of covers, let me introduce you to my new favorite cover of 2008. This was one of my favorite 45's (I'm dating myself here! lol) growing up and I still have it! I looooooooooved this song when originally done by </span><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR3zteEKAFg">Nu Shooz</a><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> in the 80's and now? Well, this one will speak for itself. The production is to die for!! We also have a great vocal here from Kelly Marie Smith (former vocalist with The Shapeshifters) who hits this remake dead on! MUST HAVE!!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?lx2bziqmfmg">http://www.mediafire.com/?lx2bziqmfmg</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Maroon 5 & Rihanna - If I Never See Your Face Again (Expensive People Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Holy electro Batman!! Hah! I was only eh about the original song, even though I do enjoy both artists alot. Maroon 5 has alot of soul and great pop sensibilities which is why alot of their songs do well on the dancefloor and this one is no different. NOW I'm loving this song! I don't know who the Expensive People are but they did an excellent electro-rock mix here that just screams fun!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ljlyvorn9mb">http://www.mediafire.com/?ljlyvorn9mb</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michelle Williams - We Break The Dawn (JM's Wideboys Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Michelle always seemed like the forgotten one in Destiny's Child. She only sang the bridges of the songs mosts times and when she went solo and did the gospel thing, it was only so-so. Well, that's all changed!! I can't wait for her CD as every song I've heard that's leaked is fantastic including this sleeper hit. Currently, it's #1 on the dance charts but hasn't charted anywhere else. I expect very big things from her and The Wideboys, AGAIN, do magic to this track. They are HOT!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kmcoxeetbtb">http://www.mediafire.com/?kmcoxeetbtb</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rob Mirage - Forever (JM's Midnight Society Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This song is EXPLOSIVE!! A very dark and progressive male vocal with BIG beats and almost ALL synths! This song is MADE of synths and it works SOOOO well! This song definitely grows on you, if for no other reason then for the production.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?t2zmwzoqvyl">http://www.mediafire.com/?t2zmwzoqvyl</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shannon - Something About You (JM's Eddie Baez Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**When 80's diva Shannon had her mini-resurgence back in 2000 with the Hex Hector remix of "Give Me Tonight", I figured we were welcoming back a dance diva to the floor. Where did we go wrong?? After the #1 success of "Give Me Tonight", she released 2008 mixes of "Let The Music Play" which only hit #32 which is interesting cause originally in the 80's "Let The Music Play was a #8 song for her whereas "Give Me Tonight" stalled at #46. At any rate, Shannon released her 4th studio CD "The Best Is Yet To Come" and her original producer, Chris Barbosa was asked to rejoin her as was Tony Moran. Aside from her two classics, two more songs from the CD were remixed, this one by Eddie Baez who did a fantastic job and "Intimate" which was taken on by Plasmic Honey. She sounds just as god as she did then and needs to come back...er...again!!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?bf5ylj9g0oy">http://www.mediafire.com/?bf5ylj9g0oy</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Supanova - No Secrets (JM's Escape & Dom Capello Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This is another random song I found in my surfing and while it's different, I do like it. It's a little more minimal and darker than what you'd expect from Escape & Capello, but it works very well as an afterhours track. Another good male vocal here!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?flugm24m1mj">http://www.mediafire.com/?flugm24m1mj</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Ting Tings - Great DJ (Soul Seekerz Radio Edit) **Official Edit**</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Wow, the Soul Seekerz finally produced a good mix?! Hard to believe huh! Ok, I'm obviously being sarcastic here lol...Can they do any wrong?? The Ting Ting's first single here gets a good working over by my other favorite remixing team of 2008 and it's fabu! Naturally!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xynvwtemxmd">http://www.mediafire.com/?xynvwtemxmd</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whitney Houston - Fine (JM's Rob Girellini Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This song, the fourth single from her "Whitney: The Greatest Hits" CD only found Whit at #51 on the charts, but there were two very good remixes that popped up along the way, one by Junior Vasquez and this one by Rob Girellini. I don't know much about Rob but that the few mixes of his I've heard I've liked. This one is a really high energy mix which results in Whitney losing it around 2:45 and throughout to the rest of the song. How many times do you think she says the word "Fine" in this song? lol**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?bg9k4t3fd72">http://www.mediafire.com/?bg9k4t3fd72</a>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-5313550915446571392008-07-22T09:12:00.001-07:002008-07-22T11:18:52.590-07:00Guido Osorio<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr5SeOGSKMgZHn_gsWLwx5np-8yU_pCuRvtCKt6nKgvsbAOjEzLq_clzLQHGqoI-bTRiqnb98nBjLuwAtFAteijjanjSXLdkWtSpzOj22TSkr6Q7C_FJTb_G5GZf6ctlMzudZWmhXsGUI/s1600-h/Guido+Osorio+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr5SeOGSKMgZHn_gsWLwx5np-8yU_pCuRvtCKt6nKgvsbAOjEzLq_clzLQHGqoI-bTRiqnb98nBjLuwAtFAteijjanjSXLdkWtSpzOj22TSkr6Q7C_FJTb_G5GZf6ctlMzudZWmhXsGUI/s320/Guido+Osorio+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225872378617141458" border="0" /></a><br />Most of you know Guido Osorio from being one half of Razor N Guido, but what happened after they split?<br />I've always been a fan of RNG but I have to say that Guido's solo stuff is just as good if not better! The thing I love is that his sound is different than everyone elses. It's more industrial and dirtier. His precision is always on point and he knows how to hit the song hard where it needs it!<br /><br />So here's some edits to keep you on your toes when it comes to the solo efforts of this amazing remixer!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Amber - The Need To Be Naked (JM's Guido Osorio Virgin Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I loved Thunderpuss' mix for this song, but this is the one to beat. Guido did two mixes for this, a "Naughty" mix and a "Virgin" one. Both are excellent but I enjoy this one better. I love the mini build ups before each chorus and the vocal effects are top notch!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?fcb3eddy90d">http://www.mediafire.com/?fcb3eddy90d</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angie Stone - Bottles & Cans (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Most people know Angie from her #1 dance smash "I Wish I Didn't Miss You" which was the second single from her 2001 CD "Mahogany Soul" but this track, single number 4, was widely overlooked in my opinion. This one only hit #18 on the dance charts, which is still respectable and Guido's mix is really amazing! I love how he added all the recycling noises as well!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tibk9tucykw">http://www.mediafire.com/?tibk9tucykw</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Colton Ford - Everything (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I've just posted the Solar City edit of this which was the original production but this is way superior to that. On this one, we get some new ad libs and vocals from Colton (and from what sounds like a Speak N Spell lol) and in a way Guido made this song a little safer. The original one had some nastier elements which are nice in a novelty kinda way, reflecting on Colton's porn past, but this mix makes him sound more like a legitimate dance artist.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?fj3nm9dyqb3">http://www.mediafire.com/?fj3nm9dyqb3</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cyndi Lauper - Disco Inferno 2002 (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I was very surprised at this cover that Cyndi did for 1999's "A Night At The Roxbury" soundtrack and then having it pop up again in 2002 getting the Guido treatment which it obviously needed! Removing all the disco elements from it, Guido made this mix very current and Cyndi's vocals are awesome and funny at the same time. Check it out and you'll see what I mean!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tj4dk2dj0lw">http://www.mediafire.com/?tj4dk2dj0lw</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Deborah Cox - Stupid Like U (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Guido was one of the many DJ's who got ahold of this accapella and while I do prefer Junior's & Popstar's mixes more, this mix is definitely worth giving a spin. He kept it rough around the edges and had this have seen a proper release this would've been a smash for sure!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?uegwx0nk04m">http://www.mediafire.com/?uegwx0nk04m</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DJ Disciple feat Mia Cox - Caught Up (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This song and this mix both put NJ singer/songwriter Mia Cox into the Queer As Folk legacy, being used both in the show and on their soundtrack CD. Not only that but this song went straight to #1 on the club charts as well. Listening to this mix it's easy to see why!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?20odyzcxng3">http://www.mediafire.com/?20odyzcxng3</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guido Osorio feat Alan T - Tweak It (JM's Maximum Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This song ended up on Razor N Guido's only full length CD (which is incredible Btw if you can get it!) "Dancefloor" and I fell in love with it instantly. Once again Alan T is here to give you the bitchiness that he's known for and Guido really gets to shine here as the producer providing all kinds of this from stabbing synths, beat changes and much more!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?429dciybtmg">http://www.mediafire.com/?429dciybtmg</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guido Osorio Project feat Angelica De No - Runaway (JM's Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**</span><span class="text"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Angelica de No broke into the scene when she teamed up with Guido and recorded two songs ("Wicked" and this one, "Runaway") which quickly became international hits in club land. This track also made its way onto the very popular White Party 2002 CD compilation mixed by circuit DJ Brett Henrichsen on Masterbeat Records. Again, left to his own devices, Guido pulls all the stops out for this one providing and incredible mix that could easily be thrown into any set today!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?aw3z4mlrb59">http://www.mediafire.com/?aw3z4mlrb59</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shania Twain - It's Alright (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I know I've posted this one before, but again, this is my all time favorite Guido mix. He took Shania completely out of her element here and gave us a high energy diva vocal anthem!! The album it comes from, T</span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">he Complete Limelight Sessions, was released 2001 </span><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_23" title="October 23"></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">and is a collection of songs recorded before she signed a record deal with her label in 1993. The album was released following the massive success of her chart topping CD "Come on Over". The album was promoted by this remix and it has the distinction of being Shania's only song to chart on the dance charts (reaching #25).**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?wshhql0nyi4">http://www.mediafire.com/?wshhql0nyi4</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Taylor Dayne - How Many (JM's Guido Osorio Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Another Tony Moran song I have postd previously, but again--This is defintely the best mix! Taylor's voice and this mix work perfectly and while I do believe she can sing anything, I believe he can remix anything as well! That must be why this earned Taylor another top 10 song on the dance charts when this one went to #6!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jl4dwn4gjny">http://www.mediafire.com/?jl4dwn4gjny</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Bonus Edit:</span> I had to put this one on here! This mix is incredible from start to stop! He took a classic song by this artist and made his own <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mmyy0fmnljm"><span style="font-style: italic;">Secret</span></a> mix for it. I'm sure it's just <span style="font-style: italic;">Human Nature</span> for him to do so, but he should <span style="font-style: italic;">Take A Bow</span> because he deserves to be commended for his amazing work!

It's time to come clean and admit it. We all saw the sign and we wanted to live the beautiful life.

This is indeed a cover of 80's classic by Human League and it's never sounded better! Junior pulls the bottom out so to speak, and goes for a strong mix that keeps chugging along and the really uplifiting vocals paired with Junior's darker undertones works very well together.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tz4snm9ndmr">http://www.mediafire.com/?tz4snm9ndmr</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angel Moraes - I Like It (JM's Junior Vasquez Earth Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Firstly, does anyone know who the vocalist is here? I love this song!! I've always said that some of his most interesting work has come from the Earth era and this is a prime example. It's a big diva anthem that has a dark but sexy production here from Junior which is perfect for the clubs, or in front of your mirror at home.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?qyz0pmumxqe">http://www.mediafire.com/?qyz0pmumxqe</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Christina Aguilera - Beautiful (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Ripped Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**If anyone has a better quality version of this, I would be thrilled! I ripped this one from one of Junior's mixshows and I must admit, I like this one (shockingly lol) better than Peter's. I do love Peter's alot, I thought it was a great mix and all, but this one really just blows it out of the water for me!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zdcg1bzckln">http://www.mediafire.com/?zdcg1bzckln</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dynamix feat Nina Eve - Never Get Me (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I love the original of this and this is one of the few songs that I prefer a mix other than Junior's. I never really got into it and then I heard him play it one night and when you're there, at the club, this works very well.

I hate to say this but the Offer post is getting a little delayed this week. I had surgery over the weekend (minor--I'm ok!) and when I left NY to come to NJ for my recovery with my hubby, I left my Offer CD's at home like an idiot!! So I probably won't be able to get to that till either late this week or early next week.<br /><br />Till then I have some Hex stuff, more Junior stuff and then some random stuff which I hope you'll all enjoy!!<br /><br />These are some of my favorite Hex tracks! The productions really speak for themselves!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Amber - Yes (JM's HQ2 Radio Edit) </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I've posted this one before but this is probably my all time favorite Amber song! I've always loved the middle eastern sound and Hex does alot here what he later did for Sarah Brightman's "Harem" track. The drum loops are out of control and of course there's some amazing synth work done as well, this time all courtesy of Mac Quayle. Amber actually took pieces of a James Joyce novel for some of the lyrics which work incredibly well with the tone of the song. I love when this song comes on cause everyone on the dancefloor always clutches their boobs when Amber sings "I put my arms around him, yes. And drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts..." and it makes me giggle lol...Im just as guilty!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mtitjtg2s9v">http://www.mediafire.com/?mtitjtg2s9v</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Celeste Prince - Inside Your Secret (JM's Hex Hector Radio Mix)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful productions to come out of Hex's camp. The vocal & lyrics from Celeste here are just gorgeous from start to finish and it all earned Celeste the #5 spot on the dance charts. I can't say enough about this song. Highly reccommended!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?hgiye0xojti">http://www.mediafire.com/?hgiye0xojti</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mandy Moore - In My Pocket (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Hex's take on the Mandy Moore smash which is widely different from the T-Puss one I've posted. Hex's is a little bit more chilled out with some nice acoustic guitar work from Mac Quayle once again.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ingrwnmqtyd">http://www.mediafire.com/?ingrwnmqtyd</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mika - Relax (Take It Easy) (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**While the Tony Moran mix of this is for me the definitive, Hex put together a great mix for this as well with a similar production style to that of the Celeste Prince mix. Tony's is really punchy and just comes right out for you and Hex's does what the title says "takes it easy" here with something a little smoother.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z9dhpo15wfz">http://www.mediafire.com/?z9dhpo15wfz</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ricky Martin - She Bangs (JM's Hex Hector Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I don't care what anyone says, this mix is amazing!! I would've never guessed that Hex would've produced such a slamming mix for a Ricky Martin song but the stabbing synths here are such a driving force here, you can't help but be wowed by it!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jexxwz4tyig">http://www.mediafire.com/?jexxwz4tyig</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ricky Martin feat Loleatta Holloway - Relight My Fire (Hex Hector Radio Edit) **Official Edit**</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Ok, so how exactly did this one happen? I'm not so sure. A promo vinyl labeled as "Martin feat Loleatta Holloway" started circulating and as soon as I heard it I knew it was my Ricky (sorry, he's SO hot tho!). And yes, this IS a cover of the disco song originally done by Dan Hartman and this is a heavy song to cover. The original is a classic, but I think that Ricky, Loleatta, Hex & Mac nailed it here! They kept with the original one and updated it in such a way that it makes it a new classic! This is definitely one of the gayest things to come from Ricky and Loleatta's wailing all over it just solidifies that! I say g'ahead Mary!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ybyz2xwngt2">http://www.mediafire.com/?ybyz2xwngt2</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thalia feat Marc Anthony - The Mexican (Dance Dance) (JM's Hex Hector Mixshow Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This was such a great idea here!! I've always been a sucker for songs that are about dancing and sampling Jellybean's "The Mexican" (which is one of my favorite freestyle songs) and having backup vocals from Marc Anthony, gave this song all the energy it needed! Add Hex to the mix and you have a latino dance anthem for the masses!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?0xdlty1onhr">http://www.mediafire.com/?0xdlty1onhr</a>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-12563577921832005462008-07-20T09:08:00.000-07:002008-07-20T10:31:46.647-07:00Thunderpuss (Part Three)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eCUhghVlyqZlCPoalKpAxwkMqkQBrcP-YNSbEbwQ1txw_P2Y7qZGmSG2Y8uZgjgV-Ueufc0AGAPmeLZiYpHMw9GvnP0lcdwoZx25JuLF3db_RmWCdJF41_X4NeTOv9ddcdEXR1673S4/s1600-h/Thunderpuss.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eCUhghVlyqZlCPoalKpAxwkMqkQBrcP-YNSbEbwQ1txw_P2Y7qZGmSG2Y8uZgjgV-Ueufc0AGAPmeLZiYpHMw9GvnP0lcdwoZx25JuLF3db_RmWCdJF41_X4NeTOv9ddcdEXR1673S4/s320/Thunderpuss.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225129352348163570" border="0" /></a><br />The more I dig, the more I find lol... That's one of my favorite things about this blog. The more I post and the more I get to interact with you all out there, I remember songs I haven't heard in forever and get to relive it all again!!<br /><br />Thank you all so much for your love and support of this blog!! I can only hope that you continue to read and enjoy all of this great music!! :-)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Abigail - Let The Joy Rise (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I've always been such a huge fan of this song. Abigail started out over seas doing really cheesy dance cover versions of pop songs for Klone records (including kd Lang's "Constant Craving" which is actually pretty good). This song was Abigail's first venture as a solo dance artist with original material. There's not much better than when Thunderpuss takes on an uplifiting anthem track! And this 1998 one is one of their best!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?oxm49w0xei0">http://www.mediafire.com/?oxm49w0xei0</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Amber - Above The Clouds (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**When this song came out, Amber was untouchable and this song quickly became one of her biggest! So much so that this song was even featured in the final episode of "Sex and The City"! While almost all of the mixes were great from Jonathan Peters, The Berman Brothers, Thunderpuss & Sal Dano & Brian K, Thunderpuss' was just a LITTLE bit better than the others. It has mainstream sensibilities but works great in clubs as well. The Sal Dano & Brian K running a very close second (and they provided a SICK Dub as well!).**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mj03ibsm5mm">http://www.mediafire.com/?mj03ibsm5mm</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Britney Spears - Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Both Thunderpuss & Hex Hector turned out incredible mixes for this song! Hex went the Dezrok route with a slick production and dreamy synths that focus on the songs original beauty. Thunderpuss took a harder route with punchier synths but both Hex & Thunderpuss did something amazing here: They (at least for me) took a ballad and made a dance version out of it which is better than the original. I prefer this song as a dance song much more than a ballad. Written by Shania Twain (who also does backup vocals for the song) and her ex-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange, the songs melody just feels so at home on the dancefloor!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mskcexajzrx">http://www.mediafire.com/?mskcexajzrx</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brooke Allison - The Kiss Off (Goodbye) (JM's Thunderpuss Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Brooke Allison had a minor hit with this song in 2001 and it actually peaked at #28 on the hot singles sales chart. Since this song and her debut album she went on to do some work for Disney but that's about it from her! Thunderpuss really takes this song on with a vengance. The original is a very cheesy pop song that uses the AOL "Goodbye" sample in it which now in Thunderpuss' version sounds quirkier but it works very well. This also has some killers synths and hits all over the place...along with some great vocal effects.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?etmugww3x9x">http://www.mediafire.com/?etmugww3x9x</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Enrique Iglasias - Be With You (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Ahhhh...The other side of Thunderpuss! Around this time in 2000, Thunderpuss' sound started to take a different direction. The beats were faster and smoother and the synths were dreamier and trance like as can be heard in this mix as well as their Lara Fabian "I Will Love Again" mix which I'll post another time. You can also see though that just because the main part of their mix sounds a little different, they still know how to make a wicked build up!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yz1jjztxfzj">http://www.mediafire.com/?yz1jjztxfzj</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gloria Estefan - Out Of Nowhere (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**After Gloria hit big with her "Gloria!" cd which was full of club mixes galore, she released a Greatest Hits Vol 2 CD and this was one of the 4 new tracks on the CD's. Peaking at #6 on the dance charts, it even recieved a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording (losting to Janet Jackson's "All For You"). With remixes by Boris & Beck, Metro, Obadam, Vito Andolini & Thunderpuss the CD release was packed with options. Mine was obviously Thunderpuss lol...Boris & Beck and Metro produced some cute mixes as well, but Thunderpuss takes this where it needs to be and seemed to be the next logical choice after all the mixes from her last CD.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z1bikhx1nsc">http://www.mediafire.com/?z1bikhx1nsc</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thunderpuss feat Jocelyn Enriquez - So Fierce, So Fabulous (Freak Out) <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(JM's Thunderpuss Radio Edit)</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**I've heard some really gay music in my day and THIS is right up there! Thunderpuss joins forces with dance music favorite for this fierce and fabulous song which samples Chic's "Le Freak" all throughout. It's big, it's loud, it's here and proud! Blast it boys!!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?vgtbxiry3yt">http://www.mediafire.com/?vgtbxiry3yt</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">LeAnn Rimes - Tic Toc (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Quite possibly the best of all the LeAnn mixes out there!! LeAnn wants it and she wants it now!!! She's isn't holding any punches back on this song which has her moaning and singing about her screwing her brains out. The most genius part is of course the build up where LeAnn is literally climaxing which has her singing "A little to the left. A little to the right. A little bit longer, all the way tonight. I close my eyes, my body tenses. Boy you're touchin all my senses. Don't stop, c'mon, I'm almost there...". GAG!!!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?twum03zuejf">http://www.mediafire.com/?twum03zuejf</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Luther Vandross - Can Heaven Wait (JM's Thunderpuss Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Now we all know that Luther had one of the finest voices in R&B but I gotta be honest when I say I don't know what was going on here. This seems like one of the biggest 'message songs' ever. Listen to the lyrics and you'll see what I mean. I've heard Luther's mixes before and some of them have been good and while Thunderpuss put out a great mix and gave the song energy with the few powerful notes Luther has in this song, I don't know if I really enjoy this one as a vocal mix. As a dub, the mix is great!! Luther's vocal just doesn't really do that much for me here and I feel that his typical smooth delivery is a little lost sometimes.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?vymctlbkyz2">http://www.mediafire.com/?vymctlbkyz2</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mandy Moore - In My Pocket (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Another underrated artist here! I love Mandy so much! This was a great single for her as it already had a dance beat (which came with a hot video as well), I was overjoyed when Thunderpuss took to it!! Like with their mix for Janet's "All For You", this has some really good vocal effects here and a hard hitting mix (with two build ups!!) that you can't help but move to!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mlt3hgtdtnr">http://www.mediafire.com/?mlt3hgtdtnr</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mary J Blige - No More Drama (JM's Dramatic Thunderpuss Mixshow Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This one is near impossible to cut--so I didn't! All I basically did here was start the track from the R&B section to the all out dance mix and then clipped it at the end with a cute ending. This is another "Forever Gag" because I just can't imagine producing something this intense. So top 3!!!**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?owtmtmujwgz">http://www.mediafire.com/?owtmtmujwgz</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Play - I Must Not Chase The Boys (JM's Thunderpuss Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Now I admit that when I was growing up, I was totally sucked into the pop music craze that started with Britney and I was all about the style and all the lesser known artists that went with it. I found girl group Play's first single "Us Against The World" which was I thought was so cute (and even had mixes by Andy & The Lamboy) and I figured they'd be a flash in the pan. Well, they are no longer together, but along the way they did make some interesting waves. This song firstly was a great song for Thunderpuss to take on. Obviously a tween boy chasing anthem, Thunderpuss makes the song seem a little more mature and coquettish and even a little bit naughty. The title track of their 2004 CD "Don't Stop The Music" was originally written and recorded by fellow Swede Robyn ("Who's That Girl" & "Handle Me"). They also had a long term endorsement for the Limited Too clothing store and were featured on the soundtrack for Disney's 20th anniversary edition of "Annie".**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?miwtmmxfzxl">http://www.mediafire.com/?miwtmmxfzxl</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spice Girls - Tell Me Why (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**We all know what was going on here! Geri (Ginger Spice) Halliwell quit the group and the scandal took over the world! What were they gonna do now!!?? Well, aside from having her face X-ed out all over, they put out this song, which say what you will, is CLEARLY about Geri. While Mel C was usually co-writing most of the Spice Girls music, she was working on a solo CD and this was mainly written by Mel B & Victoria who had the distinction of having the opening vocals on this song (something she had never done before). This was supposed to have been another single from their "Forever" CD but due to the poor sales of the other singles "Goodbye" & "Holler", it never saw release. Promo's started circulating around though with mixes by Thunderpuss and Jonathan Peters and the song did very well as a club hit. The Jonathan Peters edit was included on the girls latest Greatest Hits cd as a bonus track.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?wx0dwgjdstj">http://www.mediafire.com/?wx0dwgjdstj</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thunderpuss feat Chris Barnes - Head (JM's Chris Cox Radio Edit)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**By far a very different venture from Thunderpuss here and while it's listed as Thunderpuss, this time we have Chris Cox doing the bulk of the work. Mostly a spoken word vocal and a strange one at that, you can hear Chris Cox starting to form his own sound here and it wasn't long after this that Thunderpuss started nearing it's end.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9dxasj1rwmn">http://www.mediafire.com/?9dxasj1rwmn</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**Official Edit**</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">**This is one of the rare Thunderpuss mixes I don't really care for. They did an ok job but I feel it lacks a general energy that most of their mixes have. There are some nice elements, mainly the vocal effects used, but Jonathan Peters owned this song in the end.**</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kd4m1dmtuux">http://www.mediafire.com/?kd4m1dmtuux</a>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-69057270585976844322008-07-19T07:21:00.000-07:002008-07-19T09:43:28.822-07:00Junior Vasquez (Part Three)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUuOzLx3k9iId6I_8B7FwRR35YKkOHs3PPWSY2incR6PcBKnhEZ4FvZ_MNYRfkUrV_cRSKZQcdp6jUNBIZNjDeDKeVTosaUgBBeMyNytGsFGkLo2dqxB5KQ4m6mgzsSqGDaqNXXLCh8A/s1600-h/Junior+Vasquez.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224747154340099826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUuOzLx3k9iId6I_8B7FwRR35YKkOHs3PPWSY2incR6PcBKnhEZ4FvZ_MNYRfkUrV_cRSKZQcdp6jUNBIZNjDeDKeVTosaUgBBeMyNytGsFGkLo2dqxB5KQ4m6mgzsSqGDaqNXXLCh8A/s320/Junior+Vasquez.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The Offer Nissim post is on the way everyone!!</div><div> </div><div>But meanwhile back at the Junior ranch...</div><div> </div><div><strong>Alicia Keys - Girlfriend (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**When Alicia released her debut CD "Songs In A Minor", it was an immediate success and remixers had a new voice to add to the dancefloor. The 4th single from Alicia here didn't really do that well on the US charts, stalling at #82 on the R&B chart and failing to even make it to the hot 100. However, Junior took charge and made a fun dance version with a really solid production. Not exactly an anthem, but great in it's own right.**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?oertgqmtlwy">http://www.mediafire.com/?oertgqmtlwy</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Amber - This Is Your Night (JM's Junior Vasquez Extended Radio Mix)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Back in 1996 when Amber released her debut CD of the same name, it seemed she could do no wrong. This Euro-NRG CD was wildly successful, selling an estimated 4 million copies. Amber also became the first Euro-NRG artist to be signed to a label as a solo artist. While only peaking at #24 on the US charts, it became an instant classic throughout the world. Having Junior take this song on was brilliant and the mix he put together is stunning! It's got a great energy and some stellar keyboarding work. This one is sure to take you back! I can't believe this song came out 12 years ago!!!!

This lead single from Annie's 2x platinum CD "Medusa" peaked only at #23 on the US charts, but the remix hit #1! Junior's idea here was genius, taking 3 songs (No More I Love You's, Downtown Lights & Take Me To The River) from Annie's CD and making a medley of them for one remix. The result is, of course, fabulous!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jc4qjs3dxth">http://www.mediafire.com/?jc4qjs3dxth</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Blu Cantrell - (Oops!) Hit Em Up Style (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Blu Cantrell has such an incredible voice and while there's been talks for more music from her (including a leaked cover version of One Republic's "Apologize"), I'm still holding out. This smash debut single earned Blu the #2 spot on the US charts and I had never really entertained the idea for a remix on this one. The phrasing and timing seemed like it would be too difficult, but alas, Junior said--Fuck that! Hah! With a low BPM and some really interesting synth work, he kept the original punch of the song as Blu tells her man to piss off!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?2xtzc14z04o">http://www.mediafire.com/?2xtzc14z04o</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Charlotte - Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (Junior Vasquez Soular Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is another great example of what a remixer really can do with a song. If you know the original Junior mix (which was brilliant) then this one will definitely make for a nice change. This one really blends Junior's style with the Moto Blanco style mixes you hear now.

So brilliant!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jqjg4zzcjtl">http://www.mediafire.com/?jqjg4zzcjtl</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Irene Cara - All My Heart (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**We all know Miss Cara from her 80's classics "Fame" and "Flashdance...What A Feeling!" but what happened after?? Well, she never really stopped performing throughout Europe and Asia and in the 90's had several successful non-US charts. This song, from 1997 was from a little known CD of Euro dance songs called "Precarious 90's", and it made it's way here into Junior's lap! He made the song a really uplifiting anthem, perfect for any summer party! Definitely worth checking out! In 2006, Cara also contributed a song called "Forever My Love" to the CD "Gay Happening Vol 12".**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?2kjdzqmbmcm">http://www.mediafire.com/?2kjdzqmbmcm</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Kim English - Higher Things (Junior Vasquez House Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This was the other half of the duel CD single "Diva 2 Diva" which paired this song with the aforementioned Charlotte "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark". This time, Junior turns it out with Kim's soaring vocals and makes an incredible diva anthem! Another one not to be missed!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mhgmjrjdydj">http://www.mediafire.com/?mhgmjrjdydj</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Kumi Koda - Take Back (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This is a very strange one. Now, I love this mix, I really do and the vocal if it were done by an english singer would've been awesome! But Japanese diva Kumi Koda debuted here and did her best by trying to sing the english version of this song. The results aren't TERRIBLE but to be honest, there's alot of it I just don't understand. Im sure that the original english vocal as it was intended (to be an R&B/Pop song) was much easier to understand, but most of the remixes offered here by Junior, Hex Hector and Jonathan Peters make it a little bit tougher to get. There is some incredibly synth work here, especially in the bridge where Kumi sings "Your kind of pleasure took me away to a place I've never been..." (and then the next line I dont know lol). If only for the production, give this one a try!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?3ikzndgml29">http://www.mediafire.com/?3ikzndgml29</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Le Click - Call Me (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This one is really interesting to me. We've seen Junior hit his "La Bouche" phase but then when he takes this song on, he goes the completely different route. Granted, the vocal, even though the original is euro cheese, is a really great vocal by Kayo Shekoni and Junior tried making it a reputable dance track. Did it work? Well, yes it did, but I have to admit, the mix is a little strange. The vocal stands on it's own and Junior's production is good, but you get the full vocal in this mix at the very beginning of the mix and then the last 4 minutes are all vocal loops, samples, buildups and breakdowns and the mix even fades out at the end. Very odd to me! If there is another one out there that doesn't fade out, please send it my way!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nhydezqdnlj">http://www.mediafire.com/?nhydezqdnlj</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Sabrina Johnston - Tonight (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Edit)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Junior favorite Sabrina takes center stage here with this mix that came as a bonus track off her 1998 solo CD "Yum Yum". Sabrina has such incredible power and it really shows here. A much lesser known song by her but really good just the same!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?y2yj4mmidhm">http://www.mediafire.com/?y2yj4mmidhm</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Whitney Houston - I Learned From The Best (JM's Junior Vasquez Disco Radio Edit)</strong> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I have to admit, I really didn't do much to this at all, except that I took the beginning and end of the full mix and added them to the beginning and the end of the offered radio edit. The only reason why I did it is because there's some clips of Whitney talking and I love stuff like that! Haha! But Junior really gave a great alternative to all the other mixes out there with this one. He even went back into the studio with Whitney for a new vocal to fit this mix!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?m2d0yjzimgn">http://www.mediafire.com/?m2d0yjzimgn</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Whitney Houston - I Learned From The Best (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This mix is FLAWLESS (which by the way, is rumored to be the title of Whitney's forthcoming CD)!! Hex's was great, don't get me wrong, but THIS one has DRAMA all over it!! I especially love in the full mix where the breakdown uses a vocal loop from Whitney's "Step By Step".**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xugvn9ltbbh">http://www.mediafire.com/?xugvn9ltbbh</a></div>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-27705693159799296852008-07-18T15:14:00.000-07:002008-07-18T17:27:01.475-07:00Thunderpuss (Part Two)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxY5IEKgU9zZlEitWaMnH_5-fZHk7oQgK4kw9q8G1t7GgnnhF2Zp79grcK-Mx7IOfsvX_M7tGedA_mM4OXfsOs0Tt1eMfF1HV2dJJn0WV9oHy2WOnB3mdpLvboSKo0787dHQn1B5gabes/s1600-h/THUN2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224481527475843666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxY5IEKgU9zZlEitWaMnH_5-fZHk7oQgK4kw9q8G1t7GgnnhF2Zp79grcK-Mx7IOfsvX_M7tGedA_mM4OXfsOs0Tt1eMfF1HV2dJJn0WV9oHy2WOnB3mdpLvboSKo0787dHQn1B5gabes/s320/THUN2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Thunderpuss appears to be quite the popular post right now! I've been getting alot of good feedback from it and Im happy to give you more of their music!</div><div> </div><div>The thing thats great about Thunderpuss also is that they both actually work on the music together...er...they DID I should say. With alot of remixers, they have the ideas but dont really get very hands on, they're DJ's and they've got the creative side down pat (which is absolutely necesary) but when it comes to engineering and programming, they call in the cohorts. </div><div> </div><div>Chris and Barry both did everything from A to Z which could be why they were one of the biggest remixing team ever!!!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Amber - Taste The Tears (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Amber had so much great music that some of it did get lost in the shuffle. Such is the case with this song! Thunderpuss originally did a pop production for it, but naturally they made one dancefloor friendly as well. If you can get the full mix, it's worth it. There's a break in it where the beats stop, Amber laughs and just says 'Drama' and then a you hear a dish breaking noise in it. Gag-worthy!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ceneq1mmnec">http://www.mediafire.com/?ceneq1mmnec</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Britney Spears - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) **Official Edit**</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Back when Britney was making the move from teen queen to pop royalty, she released this little ditty. It's kinda cheesy (and co-written by Dido strangely enough) but Thunderpuss did what they could with this and if you listen to the vocals, they did ALOT of work on them to make them fit with this mix and Im sure that wasn't easy.

Every single of his in Spanish and in English had hit #1 on the US Latin charts (aside from "Be With You" that reached #2) and this would be his second #2 single. Even though he had that mole, he was still hot to me! Haha! My friends and I used to sing "You can run, you can hide but you can't escape my mole!". I know it's mean, but it makes me giggle! Thunderpuss of course riding high as well and this earned them yet another #1 on the US dance charts!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?pjm0bj4zb4c">http://www.mediafire.com/?pjm0bj4zb4c</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Kristine W - Clubland (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This one is probably one of Kristine's most fun songs ever! The original had her scatting (get your filthy minds out of the gutter!), be-bopping and blowin her saxophone all over it! Thunderpuss amped the energy up and really gave Kristine something to scat about!! :-P This was only released as a B-side to Kristine's single for "Stronger" and I'll never know why! Both the vocal and the ThunderDUB on this are amazing so check them both out! I also love her lyrics 'Every night you re-invent what you really want to be. He’s a she but we all agree. It’s a party blow your own horn. Down in clubland. Underground in clubland. You want to blow your own horn. It’s alive in clubland. Never dies in clubland.

This edit tho, is synth galore (and lots of cowbell--I. Love. Cowbells!! lol) and the breakdown is killer!!!

Don't get me wrong--Loved the song, really and truly--But between club play and radio play, they beat this song to DEATH!! Now, several years later, I can listen to it again with enthusiasm I had for it the first time. We all knows Hex's mix for this and it was legendary and definitely one of the best of his career, but for me, it was all about the T-Puss mix!

I had heard the term Pigbag when talking about football but I didn't exactly see the corrollation. Well, for all those who don't get it--Here's the story: Pigbag was a British post-punk band who formed around 1980. This song, which was born out of a random jam session, became their signature song, the title a play on James Brown's "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag". The song's legacy continues on being played at sports events around the world. I'm not sure why Thunderpuss decided to cover it, but if you get ahold of the original and this one, it really shows just how versatile Thunderpuss was!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1lr97gyvlit">http://www.mediafire.com/?1lr97gyvlit</a></div><div> </div><div><strong>Thunderpuss feat Latanza Waters - Stand Up (Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**The Magic Cucumbers' classic which originally featured Jocelyn Brown and Connie Harvey gets an update from Thunderpuss in a major way!!

It wasn't too long after that that Hex and his friend Robert Clivilles joined forces with programmer Darrin Friedman to work on what would be Hex's first remix for Lisa Lisa's "Something About Love". </div><div></div><div>Hex's big break came around 1996 when Arista records heard the remix of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" (w/ Soul Solution) and then his remixing career took off! However, it is important to note that even prior to that Hex had made remixes for Patti LaBelle, Joi Cardwell, Gladys Knight and even Madonna's famed back-up singer Donna DeLory.</div><div></div><div>To know Hex is to love him and if you know which programmer he's working with, then you know the type of remixes you're about to hear. Hex has brought mainly Mac Quayle and Dezrok to the spotlight and through their collaborative works, he's given them the opportunities to shine on their own.</div><div></div><div>Aside from Thunderpuss, Hex was it for me growing up. Everything that had his name on it seemed to just be dance music bliss and I was sold hook, line and sinker! From these remixes, it's easy to see why. Like Thunderpuss, his mixes came to the forefront and became the more preferrable versions of the songs he got his hands on. And also like Thunderpuss, almost all of his edits had the most perfect edits you could ask for!</div><div></div><div>Again, the first of OH so many posts, I hope you enjoy this small collection as much as I have!!</div><div> </div><div></div><div><strong>Allure - All Cried Out (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I was obsessed with the original Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam version of this song, being a child of the 80's and then in 1997 when Allure covered it, I thought they did a great job! I never even dreamed of it getting a dancefloor treatment as I was just starting to get my feet wet at this time in house music. Well thank God it did!! This version (the other one featured a male vocal from 112) is a tour de force and Hex really lets the vocals stay at the forefront of the mix.**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zi4mqoyz4qm">http://www.mediafire.com/?zi4mqoyz4qm</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Da Buzz - Let Me Love You (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This song for me is a "Forever-Gag". I will never turn this song off and I will never tired of it. When the Hex/Dezrok combo really started to take the clubs by storm, this song was really at the forefront of it all. Aside from having a specific memory for me (This was my song with my ex boyfriend at the time...and wherever he is now, he should only stay there!), I just ate up the vocal. Now, if you can track it down, there's an unreleased 17 minute version of this song out there. It takes alot of strength to get through it all because it is packed with build-ups and breakdowns all over but lead singer Annika really takes you there time and time again!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tejmvceetfi">http://www.mediafire.com/?tejmvceetfi</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Janet Jackson - Someone To Call My Lover (Hex Hector & Mac Quayle Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This song just screams summer fun!

He took Bronx-born Reina (who up until this song was doing backup for Deborah Cox and freestlye artist Corina) and gave her overnight success with this song.

Yes, it's THAT Richie Rich (club kid extraordinaire turned fashionista via Heatherette) and Yes, it's THAT 'Magic' (the Olivia Newton-John song). How did this happen? I have no idea but it did and we can't ignore it now! I found this CD single in a bargain bin and I was stunned. I love the original version of this song and let me warn you: This vocal is...interesting. Richie Rich isn't exactly known for his singing (aside from a performance at 1992 Folsom Street Fair where he sang an original song called "Go-Go Dancer") and Im sure that this was a difficult mix to undertake but Hex did what he could with it and for that reason, it's interesting to me. Even Warren Rigg got in on the action and provided a mix for this!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zbmojhemfj2">http://www.mediafire.com/?zbmojhemfj2</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Sarah Brightman - Harem (JM's Hex Hector Radio Mix)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**I've always been a huge fan of Sarah and having her songs remixed is a dream for me! When her CD "Harem" came out I knew that the title song would get some great treatments, but I never dreamed that Hex Hector, Manny Lehmann and Robbie Rivera would all take it on! Hex's mix is an arabian fantasy filled with dreamy strings and drum loops galore! A must have for any Hex fan!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?2vcxoyw0tnn">http://www.mediafire.com/?2vcxoyw0tnn</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Shannon - Give Me Tonight (JM's Hex Hector Radio Mix)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Another classic updated and updated damn well!! Hex provided a great edit to this but I just needed to add one part which really showcase some of Dezrok's excellent keyboarding. They made this classic a new classic once again!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?x5ieccmbjmd">http://www.mediafire.com/?x5ieccmbjmd</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Stars On 54 - If You Could Read My Mind (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Um...So let's see...Ultra Nate, Jocelyn Enriquez AND Amber all on one track!!?? Ok, Im sold!! AND Hex is doing the mix? What?? Wow!! This song has it all!! Another remake (Hex just loves doing them doesn't he?) here originally by Gordon Lightfoot (which was a very sad and depressing version) is now a dance anthem fit for every sweet 16 and wedding you'll ever attend ever!! Haha!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xyimjoxtbb1">http://www.mediafire.com/?xyimjoxtbb1</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Toni Braxton - Spanish Guitar (HQ2 Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**HQ2 is the moniker of Hex & Mac Quayle and if I was Mac Quayle, I'd want my name on this mix too!! I defy you to find a breakdown of this proportion! The real live Spanish Guitar break in this mix not only ties the whole song together but makes for a build up that makes me wanna throw a rose in my mouth and tango across the floor! Someone hand me the castanettes!!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zmdzyyut33m">http://www.mediafire.com/?zmdzyyut33m</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Veronica - I'm In Love (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Yet ANOTHER remake for Hex but this time diva Veronica takes on the 70's classic originally done by Evelyn Champagne King. Hex's mix keeps the feel of Evelyn's version by having a funky sound to it, even sampling some of the original 70's synths. Veronica gave us some great music and after a brief hiatus came back with 2006's "Relentless (Just A Game)" with Tim Rex. Since then she was in a touring cast of "Forever Selena" which was about, yep!, Selena. And after that she played the role of Hector Lavoe's mother in the J-Lo/Marc Anthony movie "El Cantante" which was based on the life of latin singer Hector Lavoe. Veronica still lives in NY with her hubby and her son C.J. who unfortunately was diagnosed with autism which is where Veronica focuses most of her efforts these days doing charity walk-a-thons and fund raisers.**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?lv2tsdzj9qz">http://www.mediafire.com/?lv2tsdzj9qz</a></div><div></div><div><strong>Whitney Houston feat Faith Evans & Kelly Price - Heartbreak Hotel (Hex Hector Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Another classic we all know! This was Whitney's lead single off her 1998 "My Love Is Your Love" cd and it seemed the sky's the limit for her at the time. Hex made a slick production here with some great vocal effects and turned this from R&B jam to dancefloor anthem! First this, then Thunderpuss' juggernaut of "It's Not Right But It's Ok" and Jonathan Peters' "My Love Is Your Love" mix round out 1998's Whitney trifecta!**</span></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nlxjcibytnv">http://www.mediafire.com/?nlxjcibytnv</a></div>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379499419283329687.post-34206230796542399192008-07-16T14:08:00.000-07:002008-07-16T15:05:31.311-07:00Tony Moran (Part Three)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaa_dCHXWryJAWvTIAl5d8e6mzNaXCbzMKdbSIfz8K9A14cqK8SfjOZyY04HAElw6tUasgTbjkvj43f9rVpkatk3R37yl7VLorGHcUO62zY6yWzmpLmJd80TxFW9338lDvDbo5qsHBXyQ/s1600-h/TonyMoranRoxy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223724951766974738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaa_dCHXWryJAWvTIAl5d8e6mzNaXCbzMKdbSIfz8K9A14cqK8SfjOZyY04HAElw6tUasgTbjkvj43f9rVpkatk3R37yl7VLorGHcUO62zY6yWzmpLmJd80TxFW9338lDvDbo5qsHBXyQ/s320/TonyMoranRoxy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p>Is there anything sexier than a hot DJ? ::drool:: I heart Tony!!!</p><p>Ok, so I obviously can't help myself and I keep finding more and more CD's and...well...you get the idea.

Haha!</p><p><strong>Becky Baeling - Corrupt (Tony Moran Album Version) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Becky Baeling (born Rebecca Bahling) hails from Detroit, Michigan, and was a mini obsession of mine! Now, I say mini because there's been no new music from her for 4 years!!! WHYYYYYY?? That voice is phenomenal!! She had two big hits (one is posted below) and her CD "Becstacy" was incredible! It was everything a dance music CD should be! But then again--How could it not be when you've got Tony at the helm! The whole CD was produced by Tony as well as co-writing most of the tracks! Now, if THAT wasn't enough, you have this song which was a very dangerous venture. This is cover of the CLASSIC Karissa Noel song that got a very infamous remix by Jonathan Peters. I GAGGED when I realized it was the same song and for all intensive purposes, it might as well have been Becky's. Her version isn't as dark as Karissa's which is almost refreshing because I don't think it would've worked as well with her voice, but it is a definite close second!! Guaranteed to make you move!!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?vmtenzteeni">http://www.mediafire.com/?vmtenzteeni</a></p><p><strong>Becky Baeling - Diva (Tony Moran Album Version) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Ok, now moving right along, if the last one didn't make you gag, this one surely will. If there's one thing us (gay) dance music fans like, it's a woman with a big voice being bitchy, cunty and fabulous and of course it helps if the love of her life has done her wrong! Well add Becky to the roster because this song is ALL of those things and more!! Lyrics like "You think you got me figured out. Negativity you bring about. Pointing fingers at my attitude cause I'm feeling myself and it's getting to you. Your insecurity exposed in every word you say. I see that you're not happy when I get my way" make me wanna do drag!! If they're not enough, wait till you hear the chorus!! Also, background vocals on this song by Tony Moran favorite Nicki Richards and Broadway star Shoshana Bean!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yennzkyvfih">http://www.mediafire.com/?yennzkyvfih</a></p><p><strong>Becky Baeling - If You Love Me (Tony Moran & Mac Quayle Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**ANTHEM ALERT!!! This song was Becky's first single and earned her a #3 on the dance charts (her second single, "Getaway" made it all the way to #1) and you can see why! It's everything you would want in a vocal and a stunning production by Tony & Mac (who helped produce a bunch of the songs for Becky's CD as well. Her album is like a White Party pop cd with appearances throughought from Mac Quayle, Dave Saronsen, Nicki Richards, Zhana Saunders, Warren Rigg & Giuseppe D all pitching in. I highly reccommend this one to all of you!! Unfortunately there's been no talks of getting more music from Becky, but she can be seen regularly as a host on Direct TV's CD USA program "The 101" interviewing everyone from Rihanna & Kelly Clarkson to Jamie Foxx.**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ytbmxrnbytz">http://www.mediafire.com/?ytbmxrnbytz</a></p><p><strong>CeCe Winans - Let Everything That Has Breath (Tony Moran Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**What happens when Tony Moran works some gospel music? You guessed it: Magic!! This is hiiiiiiiiiiigh energy here and CeCe's voice just gets better and better with time!!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?bfzjo9efxjw">http://www.mediafire.com/?bfzjo9efxjw</a></p><p><strong>Donna Summer - You're So Beautiful (Tony Moran Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but Im almost positive that this is an edit for a different Tony mix. I have to locate my mixes for this before I know for certain but I believe he did a regular mix, a White Party mix and another darker mix. This is the edit from the darker one I believe.**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yxvge4boizv">http://www.mediafire.com/?yxvge4boizv</a></p><p><strong>Joey McIntyre - Stay The Same (Tony Moran Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**We all know Joey from his time with super group New Kids On The Block, but back in 1999 he debuted his first solo CD named "Stay The Same" and the self titled lead single went to #10 here in the US and even got a remix by our man Tony. It's cheesy because it's a message song, but Tony definitely worked it out as usual.**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?eztmgm9nym5">http://www.mediafire.com/?eztmgm9nym5</a></p><p><strong>Kristine W - I'll Be Your Light (Tony Moran Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**This song is a mystery. As it stands right now Kristine has 9 #1 songs (10 if you count "Walk Away" which is from Tony's album "The Event") and yet THIS is the song that broke the streak!! This song which is easily one of the best from her "Fly Again" CD only went to #2 (which is still fantastic btw!) but she still holds the record, beating out Madonna & Janet for the most consecutive #1 singles on the dance charts! This one is interesting because Tony's mix (the only big name remixer for this single) has some re-recorded vocals and ad-libs in it.**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mxmf5wmeh1e">http://www.mediafire.com/?mxmf5wmeh1e</a></p><p><strong>Tina Arena - Burn (Tony Moran Radio Edit) <span style="color:#ff0000;">**Official Edit**</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">**Tina is Australia's most notable diva, winning 5 ARIA awards (kinda like the Grammy's of Australia) and having an estimated worth of $25 million bucks and it's easy to see why! She's got a great voice that has control, depth and beauty all wrapped up in one! This song, the first single from her 3rd CD "In Deep", got to Tony's hands and here it is in all of it's 1997 glory!!**</span></p><p><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?vcmxcq1nmm9">http://www.mediafire.com/?vcmxcq1nmm9</a></p>DJ John Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03614955283105099187noreply@blogger.com0
