We were just listening to the leak of Fefe Dobson’s Joy and were enjoying it when alert came that Pusha T jumped on one of the tracks. The song to get the remix treatment is the J.R. Rotem-produced and Claude Kelly-penned “Stuttering.”
A lot of Joy is a departure from Dobson’s signature sound. The fact that her sound may be lightened for commercial reasons doesn’t change the fact that the entire album sounds, proper. And with the addition of Pusha T, the song can pull in a few new listeners. Whoever contacted Pusha, well done.

It’s been awhile since we got some goods from DJ Ampero but no more complaints because the DJ with the eclectic taste recently released a crazy mix. The mix is meant for the Bambu crowd and although we’ve never stepped foot in the club the mix sounds like somethin’ to keep the adrenaline rushing.
From La Roux to KiD CuDi to Bob Marley and most things in between you can have a night party all by yourself, if you wanted. There are very few imperfections in the mix that knocks the flow but it’s really nothing serious to distract from the entire experience. Listen to both parts of the mix below.
So a great deal of you have probably been bumping the official remix of Chris Brown’s “Deuces” which features Drake, T.I., Kanye West, Fabolous, Rick Ross & Andre 3000. The #1 R&B song in the US receives major support with this All Star Hip-Hop line-up.
Honestly, we fully understand and support this because let’s face it, the remix is pure heat and some sponsoring by a crop of today’s top-of-the-pack rappers is great for Brown’s popularity. However it’s the original song that won over a mass of people and this remix drowns out Breezy. It’s like “Deuces” by Various Artists instead of Chris Brown featuring… Point is, the remix is deadly on its own song but the simplicity of the original is where it’s at, DEUCES! Listen to Ciara’s cover after…

Hey, come closer, we’re going to let you in on a little secret. We didn’t really like “Power” as much as we thought but after this morning that has changed, completely. The official remix to the West’s lead single from Dark Twisted Fantasy, out November 16, burned the hell out of everyone’s speakers.
The remix which features Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz and John Legend takes “Power ” about 10 levels higher than it was before. There is a bit of variation to the original production with Jay-Z ripping the song a nice one and John Legend lending his vocals to the background. The highlight of the song has to be when Swizz samples the 90′s classic “I’ve Got the Power” by Snap creating a foundation for West to build a house of rhymes on. LISTEN.TO.THIS.METEOR!

This past Tuesday a new M.I.A. track from /\/\ /\ Y /\ was released. “Teqkilla” was full of the warped electro sounds that we’re familiar with and was easily a signature Maya “banga”. Days later and a regularly used Nicki Minaj jumps on for a quick verse to…
Nicki Minaj’s cliche style of rapping does not do anything for the song. You have to press rewind a few times just to make sure that was Minaj and not just some background vocals. After a few spins of this remixed track, it helps us to understand what Minaj was going for with “Massive Attack”; left-field ambush on radio but came off the wrong way. Either way, this remix was unnecessary.

Dj Ampero is at it again, this time working his magic on duo Dromomania’s “Theme” and “Day U Die.” Here’s how Ampero describes the track:
This is the latest and it’s another, featuring local artists, Dromomania to be exact .
The beat is a mesh of “We Are The People” – Empire of The Sun and “City of Gods” – Pitbull. The vocals are compiled from “Theme from Dromomania” and “Day U Die” by Dromomania and snippets of Diana Ross’ cover of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”
This mash-up i so subtle and smooth with each track complementing each other’s tempo and flow so perfectly.

For those of you who may like the original “Ride” but thought the tempo was lacking, then this new official remix of the single should be your cup of tea. Ciara puts a twist on the single for a 90′s booty bass vibe.
This remix is the sound that made Ciara who she is; an uptempo jam you can have fun and freestyle dance to. To be honest this would be a better contender for a first single than the original, it just would wake the listener up and keep them listening, perfect for summer.
Don’t worry though, Ciara spoke about the next single and said it would be something that will make you get up and move. Thumbs up to this nice lil remix. Spotted at Toya‘s.

We like Shanell’s Shut Up N Listen mixtape n y’know R.A.P.P. Quelle’s Abstract Art Quelle’s World Vol 1 been receivin’ the constant plays. So what happens when both are blended? You get a killer remix to Shanell’s “Hear Me Calling.”
Quelle just flows with the melody oh so complementary, guy really rides this beat. The song already has that anthem feel to it and that feeling only magnifies with a little bit of hard edge from Quelle.
