Tune of the week: R.I.O. – Hot Girl

Jukka — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:39:57 +0000

I don’t know what it is about me, but lately I’ve just been a complete sucker for David Guetta / Akon wannabe tracks (check out these productions from Rico Bernasconi for reference material). There’s quite a few out there right now, but this one is definitely the most polished of the pack. R.I.O. has released some great summer dance choons for the past couple of years and they again manage to deliver a track that will hopefully keep you warm after the hot summer months are nothing but a sweet memory.

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: Tinchy Stryder – In My System

Jukka — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:22:45 +0000

Tinchy was massive with his second album in 2009 and it looks like he’ll be challenging for a Number 1 again this year with the offerings from Third Strike, to be released in August. Here’s the first single.

Tune of the week: Chelley – Took The Night (Grum Remix)

Jukka — Fri, 07 May 2010 20:59:11 +0000

No matter which way you look at it, this has been my Nr. 1 track for the past couple of months now. There’s no shortage of remixes for this catchy vocal track by Chelley, but everything in the Grum version is simply spot on. Pure 80′s disco bliss in a perfect package for 2010. Lovin’ it.

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!

Jukka — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:49:22 +0000

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: Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart

Jukka — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:33:58 +0000

This is not the exact remix that’s been spinning around my head for the last 4 weeks, but since there’s no video mash-up for the Darren Styles Club Mix (available on Clubland 16), we’ll need to settle for the Vito Benito Remix Edit instead.

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.
