BPM Edition 2009 Volume 4 (Take 1)

I am officially declaring summer!  I'm sorry, but I can't wait and the music contained in this four-volume set and the subsequent T-Dance series that will be coming out next week will be a testament to that fact.  So it is written, then it must be true.  After pouring through hundreds of promos, I somehow managed to cut it down to four volumes each containing fourteen of my picks for some of the hottest tunes coming to a dance floor or radio sometime soon.  Granted, this is all subjective and sometimes I am wrong; but I can assure you my overall track record is generally pretty darn good. That being said, here are my picks to click:  First we get not one but two brand new tracks featuring the very talented Simone Denny.  We start off with the blazing electro of "Luv Sick" a collaboration with Jean Maxwell and later what is sure to be the anthem of the summer "Your Love" with Max Vangeli and Digital Lab.  Keeping up with the harder electro squeeze, we get "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" by Sweet Mercy featuring Veba.  This is a big room electro track with powerful vocals that will have you grooving from the first note. Out of all the promos I went through, there was no shortage of 80s remakes and this one by the S.O.S. band in 1980 is a surefire winner that didn't try to copy the original.  I have to say that the overall majority were just plain donkey doo.  Among that list were "She Drives Me Crazy"," "Billie Jean" and the most atrocious of them all "Eye in the Sky" originally performed by the Alan Parsons Project.  As Moon Zappa once said, "Gag me with a spoon." Next on the list is "Love Sex Magic" by Ciara and Justin Timberlake which is already blowing up everywhere.  Take special note that I went with the unreleased Alexander and Mark VDH mix which is just awesome.  Though not their typical mixing style, it further proves their flexibility and someone you need to watch in 2009.  Other favorites include the 2009 update of the classic "Summerfish" by Leonid Rudenko and Daniella, Studio Apartment's "I Want U 2 Move", Lenny B and NJ's "Turn Up the Radio" and "Wud If I Cud" by Anthony Wright. One other thing of note: I've decided to remove the rating system from each song.  If I talk about the song, you can guess this is a 4 or 5-star mix and if I don't it's at least 3-1/2 which is still very good and certainly noteworthy.  I've also got a lot planned for the remainder of May, so stay tuned.  I'll be back tomorrow with volume two.  Until then, sit back, relax because summer has arrived.  Enjoy!
