Crookers and will.i.am Collab


I won’t lie to you and say this is my thing, cos it ain’t. However, it’s pretty poppy and I think a lot of people will enjoy this. Definitely one for the dance/pop/mainstream fans, and don’t be surprised to hear this blow up really soon.

R&B Fridays: Episode 38


I had 40 potential tracks this week. 40. That’s a big number. I barely have the time for a regular episode, let alone a 40-deep one, and it’s actually really hard to pick a set out of them. I’ve picked what seemed to be the strongest/potentially most popular 20, and I’ll try to post the rest up in a few days.

Click on for 5 helpings of new Usher, a couple of features from The-Dream and many more huge names.

EDIT:  I uploaded the wrong artwork for the tracks, and they have pictures of The-Dream as the album art. My bad, but I’m not re-uploading everything again. It could be worse :)

Estelle and Kardinal Offishall-Freak Video

Visuals are released for Estelle’s David Guetta-produced club track/latest single from her upcoming album. Audio can be swiped from here if you didn’t grab it first time out last week.

Estelle and Kardinal Offishall Collab


Bit of a change in direction for Estelle. Pretty dancey track, with some dub elements in the production too. Produced by David Guetta, so there’s no secret that this one is aimed at the clubs.

It might grow on me eventually, but I was a fan of her more soulful stuff so I’m not completely sold on this yet. However, I completely expect this to be a pretty massive track as it’s exactly the sound the mainstream is looking for right now, so it’s one worth grabbing if you’re that way inclined.

Who Is Zuper Blahq? Er, It's will.i.am.


I’ve got time for this. It’s a side project of will.i.am’s, but with a spin: he’s constantly denying it’s him. It is him of course, just with a mask and stuff on: a very Daft Punk-esque move and further enhances my belief that anonymity creates buzz. To some this info isn’t new, but to me it is so deal with it.

Anywho, onto the music. It’s pretty much house/dance music, and it’s quite good as it doesn’t sound as overly-complex/sh*t as a majority of the current stuff. Two tracks below: the first is a feature, but ‘Zuper’ does all the work on it. Pretty good too, got some real potential to be an absolute club banger. The second is pretty bad quality (sorry), but is a good track. It’s very throwback, and has a very retro-style dance beat that I really like. Check it out, and keep your eyes peeled for a better version soon.

Shouts to Sash for this nice find. I’d link you to some form of social networking site for him, but he’s backwards like that.

Snoop Dogg and Kid Cudi Collaboration-That Tree


Two of the world’s best-loved smokers hook up for a track from Snoop’s upcoming More Malice. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the title of the track probably isn’t a reference to an oak tree they have mutual love for, or even a willow tree.

The more surprising part is that it’s actually produced by Diplo, so it’s a pretty dance-influenced beat and it works rather well. Cudi drops a really addictive hook, and takes on this beat quite well with a verse of his own. One worth checking out for sure.

Rihanna-Rude Boy Boyz Remix by Diplo


Pretty interesting remix of the Rihanna single, blending it with M.I.A.’s Boyz. One worth checking out though, as it works quite well.

David Guetta and Kid Cudi-Memories Video

And it don’t stop. Another contender for best party jam of ‘09, and definitely Guetta’s best track. Way, way better than Sexy B*tch.

So yeah, I love this track. The video is a bit plain, but that’s alright as it’s difficult to really break the mould for these sort of tracks. Does a job though, and as with the below video makes me want to spin the track again.

Swack the audio here.

Daft Punk-The Crash


Finally, a reason to get some Daft Punk up!

This is a new track, and believed to be from the upcoming Tron Legacy film. It’s 12 minutes long (!), but I’d be happy to listen to this for 20 minutes. It starts off pretty slowly, and almost hauntingly, but progresses into a pretty nice dance track, and then cools back off again for the ending. Really nice work on this, and I’ll definitely be letting this spin in my rotation for a while.

R&B Fridays: Episode 33


Similar to last week’s episode, this one contains a nice blend of big names, up-and-comers and some that we (I) haven’t heard from in a while.

We’ve dropped some R&B-related goodies throughout the week too, be sure to scroll down a couple of posts and check out the video for Usher’s lead single from Raymond vs. Raymond. When you’ve done that, scroll back up and enter the R&B room.

Benzi x Mick Boogie x D Star-Motivation 3, Hosted by Mike Posner


This is a definite must-have for fans of electro, dance, uptempo and even dubstep music. This is a 53-track (!) mixtape made up of short tracks (only 2/3 are over 2mins long) which are mainly comprised of electro remixes of hip-hop tracks. There is a lot of variety though, with artists ranging from Wiley, Trey Songz and Crookers to Drake, La Roux, Rusko and many more.

Definitely something worth throwing on in a party rotation. If you’re using it for that purpose, you can actually download the whole thing as one long track, which is probably the best way to listen to it. For those of you who want it seperated, that version is below too.

DJ Earworm- Top 25 Tracks of 09 Mash Up

Fairly ronseal post really. Seemingly decent mash up from The Earworm, my only disappointment being that for whatever reason The Black Eyed Peas made it into the charts this year, due to some idiotic purchasing from the general public. Top 3 worst “bands” of all time. Terrible, just terrible people.

Worth a listen/ watch though.

Forgot to add you can get the track from his website here.

My bad, things got a bit out of schedule yesterday and I didn’t get time to put this up. Ah well, it’s here now. Usher and R. Kelly headline this episode, and with Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys, Jason Derulo and more following up, you know this a good episode. Big names and big tracks after the click.

Florence + The Machine Cover “You Got The Love”

Florence--The-Machine-Lungs-475011
A relatively new band to me; Florence + The Machine, have included in their new album Lungs a cover of You Got The Love orignally by The Source and Candi Staton.

Its a pretty decent cover actually, not as powerful as the original or the more recent “club” efforts that most of you will have heard, but its still a very likeable track. Shame the singer is a ginger. They have also recorded a video for this, which you can view here. I only got about a minute in before closing it though… make your own judgements.

I expect a lot of you have heard this before, but just as many will have missed this (seeing as it’s fairly mainstream stuff) so check out the selection of tracks below.

Cooler Than Me Remix

Mike+Posner++The+Brain+Trust
Hey Champ put an electro spin on Mike Posner’s Cooler Than Me, from his debut mixtape A Matter of Time. Pretty decent remix and worth grabbing.

Right Hand Hi Video

One of my favourite uptempo tracks of recent times gets visuals, which can only be a good move to get this song some more (deserved) buzz. Good work from one of the pioneers of the electro-hip hop sound.

Grab the original here, and an electro remix here.

David Guetta/Estelle Video

One of the few David Guetta tracks I actually like gets video treatment. Grab the audio from here for those of you who missed it first time around.

Even More Collabos!

three-6-mafia-tt01
The last few days have been very collaboration orientated, and here we’ve got two more intriguing tracks from some big names. I’ll let you all make your own judgements on these, as I’m not a fan of one or two of these artists so might end up being a little harsh on the tracks…

Right Hand Hi Remix

right-hand-hi-(kill-the-noise-remix)
Click below to grab the Kill The Noise remix of Kid Sister’s Right Hand Hi. This remix is (somehow) even more electro than the superb original, which you can grab here. I personally prefer the original, but those of a dance/techno etc. persuasion will probably lean towards this version.
