More Officials

Im posting all this to buy me time since I haven't had a ton of time to sit down in front of the computer to edit in awhile...I hope you'll forgive me!

LeAnn Rimes - We Can (Widelife Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I've said it before and I'll say it again--LeAnn sounds BEST on the dancefloor and thanks to Widelife they made it happen!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?yjt9znb1jgf

LeAnn Rimes - Tic Toc (Thunderpuss Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**LeAnn tackles something we never thought we'd hear her sing about--SEX! Thunderpuss of course rips through this literally makes a dancefloor orgasm! This is one of the best mixes LeAnn's ever gotten!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?j9d0wejwyn4

Emma Bunton - All I Need To Know (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I feel like she just doesn't get enough credit. She has a great voice, writes her own stuff and still nothing. Well, Bimbo Jones took this sweet ballad and transformed it in a way that only they can. The result of course, is gold. THIS FILE IS IN M4A FORMAT!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?cy4z3mdj9gg

Tamyra Gray - Raindrops Will Fall (Hex Hector & Mac Quayle Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I would love to see the day where someone from American Idol teams up with the hottest dance music producers out there and releases a slammin cd of hits! Tamyra has the voice but apparently not the following. We did however get this great mix for her one single before dissappearing into the relatively unknown. Hex & Mac are always a sure fire combo and this is no exception. ANTHEM!**

Natasha Bedingfield - These Words (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I've always loved this song. Thanks Bimbo.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?z2km1yzphd3

Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Im glad that Bimbo took this song on because although it wasn't released as a single, this is one of my favorite tracks off her N.B./Pocketful Of Sunshine CD.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?2xelmz4tmv3

Junior Vasquez feat Anna Nicole Smith - Anna's Theme (Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**In Junior's own words: "It's Junior. Just wanted to let you know that the mix is fucking phenomenal. It sounds amazing." And it does. It really does. RIP ANNA**
http://www.mediafire.com/?oznxzlijyob

Andreas Johnson - Go For The Soul (Soundfactory Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I'm totally addicted to S-Pop (Swedish Pop) and Andreas cranks out some great stuff. He gave us the hit 'Glorious' back in the day and now, with the help of Soundfactory, gives us another great vocal. Kinda cheesy but I love it!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?x0yglyk5emj

Emma Bunton - Maybe (Almighty Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**This is my fave Emma mix. The original was a total throwback to the mod-60's-era and i was surprised to see how Almighty tackled it. Of course it's a hi-nrg track! Go Almighty go!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?mmz3zmwdmmy

Tatu - Not Gonna Get Us (Dave Aude Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Everyone's favorite faux-lesbian duo gave us a great song and Dave Aude rocked it into a anthem!! Throw your hands in the air with this one!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?ztgn2y3yyow

Jonas Brothers - When You Look Me In The Eyes (Jason Nevins Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I dont understand the appeal here and Jason could've done better with this but here it is anyway. It never really takes off for me and even though they sound like 3 12 year old Shania Twain's you can decide.**

Just a little bit more for now

So since I've been busting my ass in school (cause I'm such a good student! lol) I haven't gotten to post in awhile nor have I been able to get to requests, but they are all duly noted and will be done SOMEtime!!

For now, I offer these...

Debbie Holliday - Bring It On (JM's Joe Bermudez Radio Edit)
**ANTHEM!!! Gotta love Debbie, especially when she sings "Does anybody want it? Does anybody need it tonight? I do! I do! I do! I do!" and lemme tell ya--You will too!! Great thumper here from Joe Bermudez who I actually had the pleasure of opening for at Boulevard in NYC a few years back! A great remixer, cute and such a nice guy as well!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?mtjm434stng

Ivry Lider - Beautiful Eyes (JM's Offer Nissim Oriental Radio Reconstruction)
**DOES ANYONE HAVE THE FULL LENGTH OF THIS!!??? I heard this a number of years and became obsessed. Granted, it's not in English (it's in Hebrew) but the beats are HOT!! Unfortunately I only have this song that I ripped from a compilation released by Offer over in Israel. And Ivry's voice is hot as hell...It doesn't really matter what language it's in.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?mzlcfzejssm

Laszlo Panaflex - Dance To The Music (JM's Luis Erre Babylon Radio Edit)
**Can Luis Erre do any wrong? I've yet to find a mix of his I don't like. His sound is tough enough and rugged around the edges that it could easily be worked into any Saturday night in NYC. And I know that this was a Star 69 record originally, but sorry, this mix easily blows all the others away.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?i0nhyd2tndy

Offer Nissim feat Maya - Alone (JM's Roie-Asi Mixshow Edit)
**This is easily the best song these two have ever collaborated on. The vocals, the lyrics, Offer's production all add up to pure gold. Roie Yamin made a gorgeous intro for the mix and Asi Givati added some SICK electric guitar over Offer's original mix which takes it all to the next level. I can't listen to the original without the guitar. I combined Asi's mix with Roie's intro to make this. It's a hard song to edit, especially with the guitar in it so I left alot of it alone which is why I labeled this as a mixshow.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?2c2zx0j1bi0

Offer Nissim feat Maya - On My Own (JM's Tony Moran Radio Mix)
**Another stunner by Offer & Maya--And btw I urge you all to get your hands on the new Offer compilation "Happy People" if for no other reason than the Offer/Maya tracks as well as Offer's INCREDIBLE take on Shirley Bassey's "La Passione". However, this mix got a great treatment by Tony Moran and while it's not amazingly different than the original, Tony's beat does give it a little something special.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?zgeeg1g2jtc

Rich Luzzi - It's Over (JM's Eddie Baez Radio Edit)
**This is a GREAT song by Rich (who gave us the anthem "Without You") and this was intended for a full release which never saw the light of day. All I have is this so-so quality version. If anyone has a better copy, it would be greatly appreciated! But till then, enjoy this one. I gag when Rich (who's hot as hell!) says "You've run out of time/You're just fucking with my mind/Well just walk right out that door/Cause our love don't live here no more" ::drool::**

Mariah, Madonna...and of course, more edits!!

I would like to remind everyone (even tho most of you are so sweet to me!) that I do all this work and write this blog because it's a labor of love. As a fellow blogger wrote recently, I too have a life outside of here and it takes me time to get these done. Also, when it comes to requests, I don't mind taking them as long as they are ASKED for. Making shopping lists of edits is a sure fire way to NOT get them done.

I try my hardest to get to everyone's requests and emails and to respond with the pleasantries everyone shows me but to make a list of edits as if they were demands--No good. For those people this applies to, if this keeps up, your requests will be ignored. I don't want to have to be this way but I feel like asking nicely hasn't worked.

Now, before anyone gets dissappointed, This posting will not have any mixes by the two M's, but I had to take a minute to talk about some things and get it off my chest...

First - Madonna's new video with Justin Timberlake.

Ok, so I'll start off by admitting that I do love this song! It's everything you've come to expect from Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. It makes you sing along and you just can't help but move to it as well.

Now, here's my issue. Madonna, now in her 50's, looks great for her age. She really does. Her body is toned like the body of a 25 year old. However, her face is WAY too stoic. I feel like she's lost her ability to have facial expressions. She HAD to have had some kind of work done because she almost doesn't look like herself anymore.

There are some good moments here and there. A glance at the camera, a little bit of fancy footwork, but over all I feel that having her in that video, with that kind of song, next to Justin Timberlake, just makes her look older. Not only that but I feel like Justin didn't dance half as much as he normally does as to not upstage Madonna who's dances were "cute" but over all kinda boring.

Granted, she can still jump on cars and run around with him and not look tired--and bravo for her--but there are some moments when it looks like they're trying to have some sexual tension and for me thats just a no-go. So here's to you Mrs Robinson! I hope that she can age a little bit more gracefully than this...

Second - Mariah's "E=MC2" CD.

It's here! It leaked! THANK GOD!!! THIS. CD. IS. FLAWLESS!!!!! I just can't get enough!!! If you can find it, get it! If you can't buy it! Even if you've gotten the leak--Buy it anyway!! Mariah has really outdone herself this time and I dare to say that I enjoy this CD as much, if not more, than "Emancipation".

Fave Tracks: "Migrate", "Touch My Body", "Side Effects" (INCREDIBLE!!), "I Stay In Love", "That Chick", "Love Story", "Bye Bye", "Thankx 4 Nothin"... But they're ALL amazing!!

How can you argue with lyrics like "See I'm on my way home/Cause my jeans, yeah they fit/But it might benefit/Me to throw something on/To feature my hips/Accentuate my tits/And steal the show." in "Migrate"??

I love her. Always have always will. This will be another platinum record for sure!!

...And now for the edits!!

Tamia - Me (Soul Seekerz Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I've always loved her! Even before she hit the mainstream with "Stranger In My House" and she had her R&B hit "So In Love" and then when JP mixed her song "Can't Go For That" I knew the dancefloor wasn't done with her. She's had a good string of remixes and this one is just one more for the catalog. The Rosabel mix seemed to be the one of choice for most people and while that one is a nice big room, I definitely prefer this mix. Soul Seekerz = Gold.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddi5mxnjxmj

Tamia - Me (Rosabel Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
http://www.mediafire.com/?jcvdttkfz5m

Aubrey - Stand Still (JM's Dezrok Radio Edit)
**This is THE Aubrey song! Out of everything she's ever released, by far this is the best. This ruled the dancefloor for so long and it's easy to see why! The opening is amazing and the song has some great abstract lyrics like "I stepped outside myself today and took a walk around/ I wandered from path to path/Without making a sound...". Dezrok killed this one! Sick production!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?xgenjyjxu3j

Cher - Different Kind Of Love Song (JM's Johnny Rocks Radio Edit)
**There never is and never will be anyone quite like this woman. While the "Believe" album dominated the charts, I always favored her follow-up "Living Proof". Still sticking with the dance/pop feel this album had more emotion in it than "Believe" did and we got a great remix package for this song which included Johnny Rocks, Rosabel and Craig C among others. Rosabel's was great and Craig C's was cute as well but Johnny Rocks kept with most of the original formula of the song which I always preferred.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?gvjisngzwxv

Cher - The Music's No Good Without You (JM's Walter Taieb Radio Edit)
**This is quite possibly one of the strangest mixes I've ever heard but I find it to be so intriguing I had to include it. It's not a full vocal but it's got a great beat and some really interesting elements you don't hear very often. It's funky and abstract so check it out and tell me what you think!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?jvd4gcjir2v

Donna Summer - Power Of Love (JM's Offer Nissim Radio Edit)
**This is some great Offer production here!! Donna took on the classic Luther Vandross song and of course, anything she sings is awaits the dancefloor transformation and it couldn't have been covered better than this. A gorgeous intro and a thumping beat here, Donna sounds as current now as she did in the 70's. Long Live Summer!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?tjwz0nd0jxc

Loleatta Holloway - Love Sensation 2006 (JM's Hi-Tack Radio Edit)
**What can I say about this really? Loleatta's trademark wailing never gets old for me and while this song has been sampled umpteen times it still works with every treatment it gets. This by far is the best one out there. Hi-Tack/Beatfreakz have the knack (although formulaic) to make throw your hands in the air anthems like no one else does these days. This mix is a STOMPER from start to finish!! "YOU GET DOWN!!!!"**
http://www.mediafire.com/?emlwxdyyg49

Paula Abdul - Dance Like There's No Tomorrow (JM's Soul Seekerz Radio Edit)
**We all remember I was burnt and posted the full mix a few posts back, well here's the edit! Haha! Sorry!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?nhgcvsf1uki

ReAct - Let's Go All The Way (JM's Johnny Vicious Club Dub Radio Edit)
**When this song hit the NYC club scene it exploded! It was used in advertisements for clubs all over the area and even made it's way to 103.5 KTU. When KTU aired it they had an edit that used both Johnny Vicious' Vocal Mix as well as the Dub which was just as big if not bigger than the vocal. So in that spirit I tried to recreate that edit here.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?gwzn43kzwd4

Superchumbo - Irresistable (JM's Junior Vasquez Earth Radio Edit)
**One of my top 10 favorite Junior mixes EVER!! This one tore through the dancefloor at Exit everytime he played it and even now it gives me chills. I promise you won't be dissappointed!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?nyect0mejch

The Cliks - Cry Me A River (JM's Tracy Young Radio Edit)
**I got sent this randomly and apparently this Toronto based band (who all look like they could be Zac Efrons body doubles) are known for their reworking of this Justin Timberlake song. And now Tracy Young has reworked their...uh...rework! Interesting but JT's still got the franchise on this. However, Tracy's mix with JT's vocals would be gold.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?stjx24nyv29

Veronica - Someone To Hold (JM's Johnny Vicious Extended Radio Mix)
**I've tackled this song so many times and each time I do I get a little bit better with it lol! This is a monster anthem and it's hard to chop out things in it, but here's my latest effort. Hope you enjoy it!**

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.**

House Is A Feeling

I got to thinking today about some of the songs that really started it all. I feel like there was a time when I was just getting into house music when I was stunned at some of the production that was being done in these songs. While there have been some tracks along the way that are outstanding, sometimes you just can't beat the classics.

There's a few requests in here (I will get to all them along the way!) as well as some of my favorites from back in the day...all different days actually!

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone (JM's Jam X & DuMonde Radio Edit)
**Before Alice Deejay came to be I had always figured trance music to be nothing but really high-pitched nasal female singers with hard hard beats and lots of blips and beeps all over. Alice Deejay opened up that door for me for exploring. DJ's Jam X & DuMonde took this song to the next level with some of the most gorgeous synths and awesome vocal tricks ever. And well, you can't deny that beat and that bass line.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?xjtczd2ltxz

Delerium feat Jael - After All (JM's Satoshi Tomiie Radio Edit)
**Delerium has made some really fabulous electronic music. You can feel their passion pouring through every single note. They gave us the classic Sarah McLachlan "Silence" track that became the anthem of the year when Airscape got their hands on it and this one is easily just as good. Satoshi Tomiie really ran the gambit on this one. Between live acoustic guitars, dreamy synths and a beat to beat the band, this mix is SLAMMING from beginning to end.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?3dwphvoyztn

Deborah Cox - It's Over Now (JM's Hex Hector Radio Mix)
**This one was more of a challenge than I thought! I forgot just how busy this mix is! Hex did a good job on this one for a mainstream mix. The previously posted Retro-Future mix he did Im not a fan of and like I've said--Junior's mix (which I'll edit soon too) is where it's at!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?3bggoxm3dsp

Cher - One By One (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Mix)
**All these years later and this one still gives me goosebumps. There really are no words. Both Cher and Junior at their finest. This song is it's own pride parade.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?xmyujzizplo

Elton John - Original Sin (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Edit)
**The good thing that happened when Junior moved to the Earth party at Exit was that his sound evolved. He went a little bit darker and we got some very eclectic music from him. This was one of them. With low BPM's and what almost seems like half a beat with just a little bit of bass, it seemed like a strange mix to me at first. I love when he mixes Elton and if you listen, the production, though subtle, is beautiful.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?qhz42bxf1md

Fanatic feat Deborah Cox - Stupid Like U (JM's KO & Popstar Radio Edit)
**I found this one randomly a few years back and when I heard it, every Deborah Cox remix I heard seemed like a distant memory. This is it for me. For any who don't know, here's the background story:
Deborah had decided to be part of a rock-pop project in Germany called Fanatic and she was only doing background vocals throughout the song. After recording the whole song, the producer went under and the project was scrapped. However, the producer removed all the vocals but Deborah's and leaked out the accapella on a white label vinyl across the UK. It made it's way here and much to Deb's misfortune, mixes started surfacing. This coincided with the then upcoming release of "Something Happened On The Way To Heaven". I got the chance to ask her about it backstage at Beatstock and this is the story she told me. The vocals then got shopped around by her management to Junior Vasquez, Eddie Baez, Guido Osorio & Jason Nevins for a possible release. The release was never seen. While the other mixes are good, this is by far and above the best.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?dzdhzsgyjtn

Gigi D'Agostino - I'll Fly With You (L'Amour Tourjours) (JM's Johnny Vicious Radio Mix)
**I loved it then and I love it now. I was amazed to learn that both male and female voices here are done by the same guy. And btw, where is THIS Johnny Vicious!!?? Classic.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?xg1vzyadiw2

Jody Watley - If I'm Not In Love (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Edit)
**I found this on a white label years ago and fell in love with it instantly. The original is a beautiful ballad (which has also been done by Faith Hill as well) and Junior really transformed it into a great house track. I wish Jody and Junior would do a full album together. She's still got it and is so underrated.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?gydznuilpav

Solange feat Beyonce - Naive (JM's Junior Vasquez Radio Edit)
**This was on the Japanese Edition (as a R&B song) and the US Re-release of Solange's cd "Solo Star" this time as the Maurice Joshua mix. I feel like I might be the ONLY person alive who likes this song let alone this mix lol. I don't know why because I thought Junior did a great job at making what was originally and OK song into something with a melody and a discernable hook. Oh well. You decide.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?ij0zqogax3s

Soulsearcher vs Junior Vasquez - I Just Can't Get Enough X (JM's DJ Paulo Radio Mix)
**What do you get if you take a classic vocal with a classic tribal? Well this is the answer. DJ Paulo, genious that he is, decided to take the vocals from Soulsearcher's "Can't Get Enough" and combined it with Junior's classic track "X". The results are astounding. This is a vocal XTRAVAGANZAAAAAAA!!!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?3adgttvcvmq

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (JM's Hani Radio Edit)
**This proves that ANYthing can be remixed! Classic Beatles and Hani worked this one out with care and precision. Flawless.**

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!**
http://www.mediafire.com/?bcn4bwbw34w

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.**
http://www.mediafire.com/?qmsjcqbjmfn

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!!**

Paula Abdul - Dance Like There's No Tomorrow (Paul Oakenfold Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Oakenfold is always a hit or miss for me. This one isn't a miss, but not much of a hit for me either. This is a big gray area. Thank goodness for the Soul Seekerz one!**

Jesse McCartney - Leavin (Solar City Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**Another take on this song from Brett Henrichsen (the mind behind Solar City). A lil cheesy but a good effort.**

Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful Of Sunshine (Johnny Vicious Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**I really want to like this. I do. But I don't lol. Johnny should be turning out awesome mixes for Natasha but I've yet to be amazed by any of them. This was immediately my favorite song of the American edition of her new CD "Pocketful Of Sunshine" (which is an altered version of her European release "N.B.") but this just didn't do much for me, much like his mix of "Love Like This"**

Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful Of Sunshine (Stone Bridge Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
**While Im still waiting for an amazing mix of this, this one is definitely much better than Johnny's version. A funkier approach of course but much more melodic than Johnny's. As of right now, this is the winner.**

Jennifer Lopez - Waiting For Tonight (Hex Hector Momentous Radio Edit) **Official Edit**
