Pause. Playback, Rewind.

Sup?

Happy New Year! (Very late I know.) 

It’s been a while. I always seem to be saying that these days. Lol. So I couldn’t do my regular post before the holidays with all the party music.  So I’m gonna make up for that with one huge post. :)

Arshad is covering most of the trance stuff so I’ll be focusing on the rest of it. I'm also including some Nigerian songs in that. So it’s quite the mixbag. Enjoy!

1.  I Need Air - Magnetic Man ft Angela Hunte

This one  is quite a chilled out track. Smooth vocals and nice beats. Magnetic Man is made up of three dubstep djs, Benga, Artwork and Skream. Be sure to check out the album. Pretty crazy sounds on it. Got everything on it. Not just dub.

2.  Tonight - Enrique ft Ludacris

Well this track is pretty popular. There’s an explicit version and a mild one. I duno why it is that girls love this track, the explicit version that is. If a guy said that to a girl, he’d prolly get slapped. I guess it’s cuz it’s Enrique. :S

3.  Mojo So Dope - KiD CuDi

This is off his new album MOTM II- The Legend of Mr. Rager. Love the chorus.

4.  Barbra Streisand - Duck Sauce

Nice dance track. Samples Boney M’s “Gotta Go Home”. Duck Sauce is Armand Van Helden and A-Trak.

5.  Mr. Right Now - Pitbull ft Akon

“I’m never gonna be your Mr. Right but Imma be your Mr. Right Now”. Pretty much what you’d expect.

6.  International Love - Chris Brown ft Pitbull

Again, what you’d expect.  Mid-fast club track.

7.  2gether - Far⋆East Movement & Roger Sanchez ft Kanobby

Mad club track. Sanchez provides some nice beats.

8.  Rocketeer - Far⋆East Movement ft Ryan Tedder

Nice song. Easy listening.

9.  M.I.2 - M.I

Ok so this is not a song. It’s the album. M.I is this mad rapper straight out of Jos, Nigeria. Got easy flow and some good lyrics. According to some, he’s the biggest rapper in Naija right now. Check it out. Couple of songs worth mentioning are -

Action Film

Number One ft Flava

10.  Jonzing World - D’Prince ft Wizkid & Jesse Jagz

This is a cool track.

11.  Kush - Dr Dre ft Snoop Dogg & Akon

Old school hip hop is not dead! Dope track! For the potheads. xP

12.  Right Through Me - Nicki Minaj

Slow track. Minaj is good as usual.

13.  I’m So Hot - Disco Superstars

The beats get me moving everytime.

14.  Yeah Yeah Yeah (Electro Mix) - Spencer & Hill

Crazy club track.

15. Tomorrow (Give Into The Night) - Dmitri Vegas, Dada Life, Like Mike & Tara McDonald

Fairly old. But nice club track.

16.  Bromance (The Love You Seek) - Tim Berg

Nice progression on the original mix. And Avicii’s Extended Vocal Mix has nice vocals.

17.  I Just Had S*x - The Lonely Island ft Akon

Ok so this is just a funny song. The Lonely Island are a parody hip hop troupe.

18.  Hold Your Hand - R2Bees ft Wande Coal

African Banger. Love this song. R2Bees are Ghanian and Wande Coal is Nigerian.

19.  Don’t Dull - Wizkid

Catchy track once you listen to it. I sing along with it now.

20.  Beautiful People - Chris Brown ft Benny Benassi

Not bad.

21.  Hypercaine - DJ Fresh ft Stamina MC & Koko

Sick club track. Nice beats.

All the ladies will love this for sure.

24.  Kick Us Out - Hyper Crush

Another one of those club tracks. Not bad.

25.  Touch Me - Tom & Jerry ft Abigail Bailey

Nice progressive track with nicer vocals.

26.  Do It Like A Dude - Jessie J

Nice beats. Very familiar sounding but can’t place it. I'm not so sure I like the song overall yet. But check it out anyway.

27.  Lonely Girl - Oceanlab

Very nice track.  This is actually quite old. The Gareth Emery remix is pretty sick too.

28.  All She Wrote - T.I. ft Eminem

Sick collab. Works. Well.

29.  Moment 4 Life - Nicki Minaj ft Drake

Very nice track. This collab works. Unsurprisingly.

30.  Got Your Back - T.I. ft Keri Hilson

Sweet track. Goes out to all the ladies. ;)

31.  Go - Nelly ft Talib Kewli & Ali

Very nice track. Got a nice acoustic sound to it.

32.  Half Light (Max Graham Remix) - tyDi ft Tania Zygar

Cool progression here. Tania's vocals are just right for the track. Check out the original too. Has some mad variations in it.

33.  Party All Night - Sean Kingston

It's alright. Check it out. Temme what you think.

34.  Alors On Danse (DJ’s from Mars Club Remix) - Stromae vs All

Best remix for sure! Love it.

35.  Drop Down - Akon ft Ludacris

Not bad. Samples a track off the Blade OST.

36.  Angel - Akon

Another track that goes out to all the beautiful ladies.

37.  Girls - N-Dubz

Smooth track. Not bad.

38.  That Good - Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa aka Cheech & Chong

Another one just for the stoners.

39.  Until We Bleed - Kleerup & Lykke Li

This is a really nice alternative track. Very old. But I just stumbled on it.

40.  Wonderman - Tinie Tempah ft Ellie Goulding

Another crazy track by Tinie.

41.  Gold Dust - DJ Fresh ft Ce’cile

Another pumping track. The vid is pretty mad too.

Very different from Take Over Control. Nice nonetheless.

43.  500w - DJ WaY

Mega electro house track. Full Power!

44.  Living Electro - DJ WaY & Dazsh

Another full power electro house track. DJ WaY is all about the house.

45.  Cool (Afrojack Remix) - Spencer & Hill

Old track. Pretty trippy still.

46.  Street Dancer - Avicii

Straight up retro feel on this track. Very cool.

47.  Playback - Collie Buddz

Pause, playback rewind. Smooth.

48.  What U Came Here To Do - Clinton Sparks ft Fatman Scoop & Ariez O

Mad beats.

49.  On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull

Brand new J-Lo. Great dance track. Pitbull's good as usual.

50.  Let Me Blow Ya Mind  (Me & My Monkey Dirty Remix) - Eve ft Gwen Stefani

Very nice mix of this oldie. Would definitely play it.

Ne-Yo doing his thing.

Chilled out track. Again

As Michelle mentioned, we're planning on going bigger and better and would really appreciate some feedback. So hit that shoutbox! And yes, we will try to avoid the mini hiatuses. :)

Look out for Arshad's next post and Michelle's sunburn experience. I'll be back soon too.

Till then..

Peace
