“Mas Que Nada” by Styline & Raul Mendes (The Power House)
Styline & Raul Medes take a shot at the Sergio Mendes classic “Mas Que Nada” and knock it out the ball park. The two mixes here – Original and Kid Massive mix – are similar but the Kid Massive mix hits a little harder. You really can’t go wrong with source material like this release but they certainly elevated it for 2018!
“Long Way Home” by Two Lanes (PRMD)
In its Original form, this is a cool, moody chill track. However, they also provide us with a number of worthwhile mixes. The Elenna Extended Remix is a straight forward House track that moves well. The Jetique Fixed Extended mix is similar with a bit of a retro vibe. Cool stuff we recommend you check out.
“Pray For Me” by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar (Interscope)
This is the lead-off single from the blockbuster “The Black Panther.” Let us save you a lot of time and direct you straight to the Barry Harris mixes! Barry Harris takes the best of this track and transforms it into a dance floor filler. This is commercial house music at its best! Something totally familiar to keep the dancers happy!
“I Know You” by Craig David ft. Bastille (RCA)
The man who brought us 2-Step teams up with Bastille to deliver a pop tune with the right amount of polish and a super strong hook. Sultan & Shepard provide a strong House mix, a little soulful with a slant to the tech side. Like the single from The Weeknd, here we have a template for how to turn a downtempo pop tune into a floor packing club track. Great work!
“Give The DJ A Break!” are made up of 3-song sets that you can drop into your mix if you need to run to the bathroom, get a drink or have a moment with your honey in the booth!

“Touching Cotton 2019” GenderFix (BugEyed)
Unique, unusual and perfect! Over a tough-as-nails House drum track GenderFix piles on Techno bass lines, synth stabs and sound effects! However “Touching Cotton 2019” is so much more! In what has to be the WTF moment of the week, out of nowhere comes a funky Breaks breakdown! If this doesn’t shake up your crowd, nothing will.
“U Sexy Mutha U” Barry Huffine & Stevie F. ft. Zhana Roiya
(Swishcraft Music)
Swishcraft Music delivers a track sure to work up a sweat! Barry Huffine, Dirty Disco & Division 4 and Matt Consola ALL deliver serious peak evening mixes with energy to take the roof off any club! Check out the absolutely amazing vocal delivery of Zhana Roiya. She throws down and stands out in each mix!
“Horizon” Andrew Rayel ft. Lola Blanc (InHarmony Music)
Hands up! This club is under arrest! At least it will be when you drop this piece of uptempo Hi-Energy Hands-Up Techno Madness on your crowd. Powerful synth stabs over a German marching band rhythm track plays well against the breakdowns featuring the gorgeous clear vocals of Lola Blanc. If you are looking for Hands Up, here you go!
“Silver Night” The Rasmus (Playground Music Scandanavia)
This is a favorite that we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out on. This is Alterna-Dance at it’s finest! “Silver Night” features a great House mix with Giorgio Moroder-like synths, an emotional vocal and a great song. For sure this has potential to be so much bigger than our dance floors but DJs have the first crack at it. Play it. Your floor will thank you!

“Aura” SG Lewis ft. J. Warner (Casablanca)
“Don’t Give Up On Love” Jay Roecker ft. Jedidiah Breeze (Dirty Disco Music)
“East & Atlas” by Close Encounters (Universal/A&M)“East & Atlas” is a very mice Instrumental Trance track, too powerful & Tech-y to be a Dream production, but that piano line is very Dream-y. Close Encounters incorporates a mesh of styles that work very well together to give us a modern take on Trance with more than a wink & nod to the past.
This was a great big hit. Groovy in its original form – even if a little downtempo. This 3rd Party White Label remix picks up the tempo and gives us a Commercial House mix with the full vocal intact. This mix gives us more mixing possibilities for jocks who spin House.
“The Beat” by Michael M. (Gonna Be Records)
Michael M. releases new mixes of his classic “The Beat.” The original performance of this at the Twist club during the Winter Music Conference 2007 had people living for the Michael Jackson sample. Check out hese new previously unreleased mixes. Also do check out the new mixes of his hilarious “Dear Diary” also posted on zipDJ.
“Sputnik” by dbKilla (DanceFragile)
“Don’t Make Me Wait” by Sting & Shaggy (Universal/A&M)
Teaming Sting up with Shaggy was a great idea. They debuted this release on TV at this years Grammy broadcast as a hilarious skit on a NYC subway. There is always room for Sting!
“Young Forever” by High Valley (Warner Music Canada)
Not the typical dance track we usually write about, however there is no reason why this shouldn’t be blasting out of every college bar in the world! Young Forever is a little bit country and a whole lot college boy manna from the Gods! Young Forever indeed! Great track for sports bars too.
