I know it's been awhile but I'm glad you came...

Hey everyone! While I'm going through all of the requests I've gotten lately, I'll fill them to the best of my ability, but just know, I don't really care to edit Dub's that much. I don't really see the point of it. There are some non-vocal tracks that are great that I've edited but that's because as a non-vocal, they go somewhere and have enough variety in the track that I can make a cohesive edit. One of these edits is just that. See below. I appreciate your cooperation with this!

Britney Spears - Break The Ice (Soulseekerz Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Anyone can say what they want about Brit but she makes music you can't help but sing along to. As soon as I heard the original of this song, I prayed it would be a single so I would hear all the mixes I knew would be coming. Everyone from Soulseekerz to Jerome Farley to The Wideboys and Jason Nevins have mixed this song. Hell, even Razor N Guido got back together to take a stab at it! Without a doubt there's something for everyone. Here though I'll only post my favorite two. The Soulseekerz and The Wideboys edit. Both are amazing (albeit similar) in their own right.**


Britney Spears - Break The Ice (Wideboys Radio Edit) **Official Edit**

DJ Cyrus - Don't Break My Heart (Andy Lopez Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I love male vocals and this one is slammin! I don't really know much about either DJ Cyrus and the name Andy Lopez is only vaguely familiar to me, but rest assured, the melody is catchy and the hook makes you wanna throw your hands in the air! This is a great summer song and with the nice weather around the corner, this a great in-your-car-windows-down track!**

Erin Hamilton - The Temple (JM's Razor N Guido Radio Edit)
**Everyone knew Erin from her hit songs "The Flame" (which just got a great 2008 treatment/release) and "Dreamlover" but this song never really fared as well as those two. Razor N Guido at the top of their game gave this a much darker feel and with lyrics like "We move in time together/Held within a trance/And as the warmth embraces us/we fall into the dance" it all works perfectly.**

Elena Paparizou - Mambo (Dancing DJ's Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Elena is a superstar in her own right, but mainly in her homeland of Sweden although of Greek decent. She did step into the spotlight when she won the Eurovision song contest in 2005 with the song "My Number One". However, this song off her 2006 CD "The Game Of Love" fell into the hands of the Dancing DJ's team and they made a high energy track with just enough latin flavor to make anyone shake their ass!**

Jenna Drey - All Out Of Love (Giuseppe D & Kevin Churko Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I've always wanted Jenna to be at least 10 times as big as she is right now. I love her voice and her music and even though she's had minor hits with "Killin Me", "Why Should I Believe You" and my personal favorite "By The Way", she still never seems to get on peoples radars. Well, it seems like she's going the route that most dance artists are going these days: Covers. Yes, this IS a cover version of the Air Supply song of the same name but it works SO well! I really hope this does good things for her! Two albums in and some great remixes, she deserves it!**

Karmadelic feat Sandy B - Nothingness (JM's Junior Vasquez Synth Radio Mix)
**DOWNLOAD THIS NOW! Haha! This mix is sheer genious. Sandy + Junior = ::speechless::. Junior did two mixes for this but in his "Club Anthem" mix there's a piano track throughout and I always felt like it undermined the fierceness of Sandy's voice and the biting lyrics ("I can flow like the blood bleeding in your heart/I won't drown/You're much too shallow.") this song has. Just another classic by Junior.**

New Life Crisis - Daylight (Tony Moran Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This is one of my favorite male vocals ever!! The band signed to Tommy Boy records and this song was released on MTV's "Party To Go: Remixed" CD but then Tommy Boy folded before their album could be released. They later released it on an indie label and "Daylight" was covered by European girl group No Angels which sold more than 3 million copies between 2001 and 2002. However, this Tony Moran mix MADE this song. The band is re-releasing a remix EP on iTunes which will include the full Tony Moran mix on April 8th, 2008. The original is good. This is better.**

Paula Cole - I Believe In Love (JM Believes in JP Reworked Edit)
**This is NOT a radio edit by any standards!! Jonathan Peters created magic when he made this track. God bless Paula Cole as well for getting into the studio and re-recording some of the vocals because this mix is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L from start to stop! This clocks in at 7min and 45 seconds because even though I was able to tighten it up, there are just certain parts whether it's JP's synth string work or his vocal tricks or Paula's adlibs that I just can't NOT have. So forgive me for this and enjoy!!**

Peter Rauhofer - This Is My House (JM's Back In The Day Radio Edit)
**While I do have my differences with Mr. Rawfahoovah (as Rosie Perez called him once) this track I do enjoy because of it's back in the day feel. Hence the title of the mix. He did a "Roxy Mix" to this as well but it's boring to me. I was able to have some fun with this and if you notice, I made a new clapping line in the song (about 20 seconds in) with some different placement as well as reversing them 2 min and 15 secs in. It's a simple track stamped with Peter's trademark attitude which is seen in the only vocals "My house is your house and your house is mine. Face it, accept it, don't get out of line". This is another one for all the people who asked for Peter stuff.**

Pink - Don't Let Me Get Me (JM's Juicy Horn Radio Edit)
**This is a request, but who produced this? It was labeled as just the Juicy Horn mix when I got it but it sounds very Ralphi Rosario-esque. While the track itself is kinda nice, I don't feel like it goes with the song at all. This would've made for a great dub. I had to do some reconstruction to make this one flow so I hope you like it!**

Robyn - Who's That Girl (JM's Rex The Dog Radio Edit)
**This song proved to be a challenge and even still I couldn't really get it down past 5 & 1/2 min which is the running time here. I don't know who Rex The Dog is but this simple electro mix he produced is pretty awesome! The vocal tricks are first rate and Robyn sounds great (Hey, I'm rhyming! lol). This was alot of fun to edit!**

Shayne Ward - If That's Ok With You (Moto Blanco Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I had to post this because at present time I'm a little obsessed with Shayne and his music. I'm not going to go into a whole long story about his life, how hot he is and how he won The X Factor (the UK's American Idol) however I will say that he is addicting. And if you've heard one Moto Blanco remix, you know what this one sounds like already. Give it a go and uh...yeah...I had to put a picture here to justify all this... If anyone has either the FULL mix of this OR any other mixes of his I would be SO happy to get them!!**

Squeeze Up feat Rob Fame & Teishan - La Isla Bonita (Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**In the past week I've found two different covers of this song. This one and another one in the R&B/Reggaeton vein by Christina Antigua feat Don Omar & Rell. Both of them have the girl in it doing the Madonna part while the men in both versions rap around it. Sometimes in spanish and sometimes in english. This version has the english raps with Teishan recreating Madonna's song over some very fun and funky beats. A good time song all around.**

Randomania: Part Two

Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way (JM's Bruce Cockburn Radio Edit)
**As cheesy as the pop music was at this time, the mixes were just as cheesy and sometimes even more so! However, every once in awhile you'd get a mix that actually went somewhere and didn't sound like the demo button on a Casio keyboard. This is one of them. I just found this mix again on an 8 year old CD and I've never found this mix since. I don't know who Bruce Cockburn is, but aside from having a name that makes me giggle, he gave us this really high energy and drama filled mix!**

Britney Spears - Sometimes (JM's Thunderpuss Radio Edit)
**What I love about this is it's a perfect time capsule mix. This is both early Thunderpuss (when they were still Thunderpuss 2000 or TP2K) and early Britney. Both have come a long way since this but it's still interesting to hear such a young Britney and a very rough around the edges Thunderpuss production.**

CeCe Peniston - Movin On (Junior Vasquez Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This is SUCH a great track! The thing that sucks about an artist like CeCe is that once she released "Finally" that seemed to be it for her. She made her mark in dance/pop music and was seen as a one hit wonder after that. She's had SO much great music and back in 1996 she had this song. This is classic Junior right here so grab it while it's hot!**

Francesca Gramm - Time Waits For No One (Warren Rigg Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I love when the big time remixer collaborators get to step up to the plate and show us what they're made of. 9 times out of 10 they sound just like the mixes they do with the big time remixers, which kinda always made me wonder what their parts are in the mixes? Who really knows? Well, Warren Rigg not only produced this track but co wrote it as well with Miss Gramm (who by the looks of the CD cover looks like a Mrs. Gramm) and it's a really great production! Francesca's voice does leave a little bit to be desired but she's got a husky, Marlene Dietrich-esque sound that works, but it doesn't really go anywhere. You be the judge!**

Geri Halliwell - Lift Me Up (Almighty Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Geri just never got enough credit in my eyes. While here in America her music was panned, back at home her stuff was constantly charting. Why do we as American's have such terrible taste in music?? I'll never understand it. This was my favorite song from her first solo CD "Schizophonic" and it yielded 3 mixes: This one from Almighty, a mainstream one from Metro and a funky one from K-Klass. I have the first two official edits and wasn't really a fan of the K-Klass so...**

Geri Halliwell - Lift Me Up (Metro Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**While Almighty gave a high energy mix, Metro made it very simple and straightforward. They're the masterminds behind Cher's mega-hit "Believe" so you can take the cue from there of what to expect.**

Rockell - Tears (JM's Dezrok Radio Edit)
**I've always been a fan of Rockell as I've always loved freestyle music. As time went on it was natural she'd end up on the dance floor and she made it in a big way. Her hit "The Dance" was a favorite of mine for SUCH a long time and continuing with that sound, this mix comes courtesy of Dezrok. Both he and Hex Hector produced "The Dance" but this time on his own, he created originall an 11 minute anthem! One thing I love about his work is that they usually have the most gorgeous intro's that tend to get cut when making an edit for a CD single. However, I had to include it here, so I fused the intro of the Club Mix with the original Radio Edit to get this. Enjoy!**

Rockik - Memories (Widelife Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**When I first heard this song, it was the Robbie Rivera Dub which was outstanding and a staple of NY nightlife when this came out. However, since I don't usually edit dubs, I needed a vocal mix and while the original one is a funky upbeat track, Widelife turned it around and kept the energy but made the sound bigger. I love them for that!!**

It's STILL Britney Bitches!!



So since the last Britney edit I posted, I got some more (read: better) mixes of "Gimme More" (and I myself started working on one to throw my two cents in on the Britney remix-mania) and here's my edits.

Britney Spears - Gimme More (JM Gave Jr & Johnny More Britney Radio Mix)

http://www.zshare.net/audio/50160136535172/

This was ALOT of fun for me as I love Junior Vasquez and Johnny Vicious, so I decided to take the accapella for the song, chop it up and add even MORE Britney for your dollar!! Comments always appreciated!

Britney Spears - Gimme More (JM's "Tony Moran" Radio Edit)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/501915741824f7/

This one gets "quotes" around it cause it's not really a Tony Moran mix. It's a mix that someone did using Tony Moran's mix of Brooke Hogan's "About Us" and it's actually pretty good!

It's Britney, Bitch!


Since she exploded on the scene, not a day goes by when Britney Spears isn't talked about, raved about, lied about or exaggerated about.

So when her less-than-fabulous performance on the 2007 VMA's got underway, it kinda left everyone going "Uh...What?" because this was supposed to be her big return after a string of odd occurances for the superstar.

I don't know what it is about Britney that makes everyone crazy. Granted, I do believe that if you choose this life, then you get what you sign up for but they treat her like they just got dissappointed at the second coming of the Messiah.

Mariah went looney. Whitney still IS looney. Even J-Lo had her moments. Most of the greatest stars do. So be it.

From a musical standpoint though, I love "Gimme More" and all the other songs I have from her new CD. I thought about posting them, but her label has been very on top of the blogs out there and I don't want to get in trouble. That's also another reason why there will be no Madonna mixes on here at least till her new CD comes out. They're been slapping fines and threats everywhere lately.

While there are no official remixes for this song, I've heard a few unofficial ones and the one I favor the most is the Alex Dubbing mix. Also check out his Offer Nissim-style mix of Kristine W's "Walk Away" which is also a standout!
Whatever the case is, I'll stand by my Britney as I've been a LONG time fan and no matter what happens, when the time is right, she'll be back. Till then:
