So we were over at Arjanwrites since we had not been in almost 6 months; checking out what was new in the dance and electro world. It was not long before we stumbled upon a remix of a song we’ve been listening to for a year: Vistoso Bosses’ “Delirious.” So we went ahead and downloaded the song but kept our fingers crossed that this remix would not be a waste. The remixer/producer, Dr. Rosen Rosen, had this to say about the remix:

“The original version of Vistoso Bosses ‘Delirious’ is a cute pop tune that could easily be heard at 3:00pm on Disney TV– I decided to flip the track 180 degrees and turn it into a song that could be heard late-night on Cinemax. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a verse from Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em. [SOURCE]“

It is so true that in the pop world, production is 80%; there’s just no denying that fact. With that, we were too relieved when we pressed play and heard the song. He revived an already great catchy pop tune by carefully crafting a more grown-up and edgier production to go along with the lyrics. We give this remix 2 thumbs up, no questions about it.

We’ll be honest, to this very second we cannot get into the original of Gorillaz new single, “Stylo.” We just have had enough of this dark theme running through a lot of our favorite music; it works for some and not really others. Our whole opinion has changed now with this Labrinth SNES remix featuring Tinie Tempah.

The song is a bit more upbeat now and it’s not so dark anymore plus who doesn’t love vintage video game sounds. From the tidbits that have been leaked from Plastic Beach we probably will like the album and it will be critically accalimed but it most likely won’t be a personal favorite.

UK electronic artist, Dan Black, is about to embark on his US journey and to set things off right he has rereleased his single “Symphonies” except this time it features emcee KiD CuDi.

We already loved this song when we first heard it last year with it’s “Umbrella’s” drum and hi-hat combo. Then there are those strings which we can’t get enough of and to top it all off is the incredible vibe KiD CuDi gives the song: it’s pure euphoria.

Here is a bumpin’ remix for you all tonight. Snoop Dogg is set to release the deluxe edition of Malice N Wonderland on March 9, 2010. First up of the re-release is the “G-Mix” of “I Wanna Rock” featuring Jay-Z.

Both gents GO IN on this one. Snoop Dogg keeps his effervescent swag alive and Jay-Z throws in his signature bravado for something to make your speakers go BOOM. If you did not check out the album this will surely spark some interest.

Norah Jones’ “Chasing Pirates” has received the remix treatment by Santigold and Snotty.

The light and upbeat original is transformed into a song soaked in goth with a haunting drum beat and very dark synths. The song is a lot harder now as Jones’ vocals have been lowered in the pitch department. If a video was ever made for this song; ALL BLACK EVERYTHING!

Diplo went in on Dirty Money’s “Angels” and turned it into a dark club banger from a mellow hip-hop ringer. The song is fully electronic now with lots of bass. Check it out!

CuDi’s holiday gift to his fans, “Cudderisback,” has already been reworked. Booka B switched up the beat with more prominent drums and removed Vampire Weekend’s vocals. The original as well as this new edit are both on point.

The G.O.O.D. Music team has come together for a remix of Consequence’s “Whatever U Want.” The original which leaked back in June now features Common, KiD CuDi and Big Sean in addition to Kanye West and John Legend. There still is no definite release date for ConsTV.

Sooo this is a certified BANGER then! The original already had us bouncin’ and boppin’ all around the place and now the song is packed full of our favorites. Then there’s that production, *Bump Buh Bump Bump Buh Bump Bump*; BOUNCY! G.O.O.D. isn’t just an acronym it’s a literal adjective.

So the Beyoncé/Lady GaGa collaboration has commenced, starting with the leak of the extended version of “Video Phone,” the single. The song is the eighth single from I Am… Sasha Fierce and the video, directed by Hype Williams, will premiere on November 23, 2009.

No great deal of difference here. The song now has an added intro consisting of flutes and music that would be played during a western showdown. The song then progresses into the original with GaGa’s verse appearing half-way through the song. Her voice suits the song and gives the song a bit more appeal. The song ends with an instrumental break which makes it obvious that the song was edited for a video that will consist of a whole lot of choreography.

The next phase of Beyoncé/Lady GaGa oversaturation will be for GaGa’s “Telephone” which will serve as the second single from The Fame Monster. That means another music video with the duo. It’s too coincidental that both of their songs have to do with phones or is it all a plan. Lord knows that this unlikely pairing is to boost sales and everything else money related.

UPDATE: Just a short while ago “Telephone”, produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, leaked. The song was originally for Britney Spears before GaGa got a hold of it for The Fame Monster.

An electropop song this is. It’s exactly what we thought this would sound like but at the same time it’s sort of different than we imagined. GaGa is the standout in the track just as she added the appeal in “Video Phone.” Beyoncé’s vocal style in this song isn’t exactly what we’d call complementary. The song is not amazing but it will surely have the GaGa stans going crazy and will grant both more fans.
