Tune of the week: Tinie Tempah Vs. Bomfunk MC’s – Pass Out Vs. Freestyler

Jukka — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 13:43:49 +0000

Sometimes 1 +1 > 2. Any bootlegger would like to reach this result, but typically the score can actually be <1. In this particular case I think the DJ’s from Mars team have done an excellent job in mashing up two big tracks into something at least worth >1. It’s been ten years since Freestyler hit the international charts, so while we are waiting for JS16 to create an official anniversary version (why not? Everybody’s doing it), I’ll keep on banging this bootleg.

Tune of the week: Jessy Matador – Allez! Ola! Olé!

The annual Eurovision song contest, a.k.a. ESC 2010, is right around the corner. After a mighty disappointing set of contestants from Finland this year, it’s time to start looking elsewhere for a new country to support. While this track from France may not have all that it takes to win in the ESC, I’m pretty sure it can grow to become a winner in the summer anthem 2010 category out there in the real world. Or even World Cup 2010.

(After a continuing disappointment with YouTube’s support for RSS feeds, I also decided to take a look at alternative service providers and went with Vimeo.)

Tune of the week: Rico Bernasconi – Hit The Dust

Jukka — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:02:57 +0000

Nothing but a groovy bassline in this track, nothing but a whole lotta booty shakin’ in the video. Still the end result is a real party starter. Hit it!

Tune of the week: Shaun Baker – Give!

Corny lyrics about saving the world are usually not a big turn-on for me, but here’s the rare exception to the rule. Just sit back, relax and give the world a reason to turn.

Tune of the week: Edward Maya – Stereo Love

Jukka — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:20:57 +0000

A summer chillout track in the middle of one of the coldest winters in years doesn’t sound like the most likely Euro hit, but it’s hard to deny the chart positions that Stereo Love has been gaining.

Tune of the week: Sidney Samson – Riverside

Jukka — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:34:23 +0000

While Data Records is promoting the UK mixes that contain lyrics by Wizard Sleeve, I don’t think any of them come close to the beauty of the pure original of Sidney Samson‘s track. After all, it’s already got all the lyrics you need.

Tune of the week: Danzel & Regi – What Is Life

Jukka — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:24:47 +0000

Danzel is better known for his party oriented cover tracks, but this collaboration with Regi brings out a whole new dimension. Not exactly a fresh track, but ever since discovering this on Danzel’s Unlocked album through Spotify, it’s been a powerplay track for me. Furthermore, the chorus has a strong resemblance to Move On Baby by Cappella, which in this case only brings back good memories from the 90′s.

Tune of the week: Way Out West – Only Love

Jukka — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:46:34 +0000

This is not so much a killer track but rather a celebration of the fact that Way Out West is back. Anyway, here’s the lo-fi video for Only Love:

Also worth viewing is the cool “synth porn” clip by Jody.

Don’t just settle for the video, check out the full album We Love Music from the player below, then buy it dirt cheap on the WOW site.

Tune of the week: GRYBOP – Self Esteem

Jukka — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 08:30:16 +0000

Unlike the previous videos I have posted, this one is a non-commercial effort by an independent Greek artist who’s just happened to come up with a very hypnotic track and the perfect acappella to go alongside it. Enjoy GRYBOP.

Tune of the week: Eva Simons – Silly Boy

Jukka — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 08:20:49 +0000

This one has been out for ages, but only as a “leaked” version that was promoted to be the next release for Rihanna & Gaga. Now the official release is out and the artist turns out to be some former Popstars winner from the Netherlands. Nevertheless, the track still sounds fresh, even if there was absolutely no connection whatsoever with the Chris Brown episode after all.
