I’m not going to to lie, I am a HUGE Calvin Harris fan! His second album “Ready for the Weekend” (2009) is one of my favorite albums of all time. Like any good fan I am eagerly awaiting his next album that is due to be released either later this year, or early next year (uggh). While we are waiting, Mr. Harris has been kind enough to release a couple of singles in advance of the new album. The first single “Awooga” is a straight instrumental dancefloor banger with an 8-bit vibe that gives it a very funky appeal (Check it out HERE). Now for the second single “Bounce” Calvin has teamed up with Kelis (who is way too underrated IMHO) on vocals. Her voice blends perfectly over Calvin’s trademark driving bassline and bleepy, blippy synth leads. “Bounce” picks up where “Ready for the Weekend” left off which is very nice. It’s like going back on vacation to that one special place after being away for a long time.

Obviously I could blather on all day so check out the video for “Bounce” and please leave a comment! If you like the song add it to your collection by clicking the iTunes or Amazon links below.

Afrojack, aka Nick van de Wall is a Dutch DJ from Spijkenisse who burst on to the dance music scene in 2007. Afrojack soon became considered as a genius producer and embarked on a series of collaborations with international artists such as David Guetta, Diplo, Kid Cudi, Laidback Luke and Steve Angelo to name but a few. He scored his first hit in 2008 with the track Drop down (do my dance) together with The Partysquad. With his latest smash release “Take Over Control” Afrojack has teamed up with hot Dutch vocal talent Eva Simons. Check out the song and if you like it please add a comment below. Enjoy!

After a much prolonged absence the Song of the Day has returned! Moving forward this blog will be dedicated to new music releases and some of my personal favorites (that might be a little older). With that being said, today’s song is a great blast from 2007/08 from Tunisian/Italian Producer Ben DJ. This instant classic features soulful vocals from Italian singer Sushy. The orginal version of this track is long since forgotten because the Wolfgang Gartner remix has become the canonical version of this track. Check out the video and if you like it, buy it! Thanks for checking out the blog.

There are more than a few artists that fly low under the radar. They might be known for remixing other peoples tracks or they’re just not a household name. In the case of Italian artist EDX both scenarios are true. EDX has been around for about a decade and has remixed a diverse group of artists including Deadmau5, Kool & The Gang, Lauryn Hill and Armin van Buuren. Now with this late ’09 release of “Shy, Shy”, EDX is stepping out of the shadows. It’s one of my favorites (I especially like the Paul Harris remix) and I think you might like it as well.

Yesterday’s song of the day was a massive new hit. Today I am feeling a bit more nostalgic, so it’s time for a Roger Sanchez classic. DJ and Producer Roger Sanchez is a veteran of the dance music scene. In 2003, Sanchez won his first Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording for his remix of No Doubt’s “Hella Good” (a personal favorite). Today’s song is one near and dear to many house music fans around the world, and the video isn’t too shabby either. Check it out and if you are a member I’d love your comments.

Folks I can’t tell you enough that this is going to be one hell of a show. Get your butts on over to SOL this Saturday! Click here for a link to tickets and more information.

For a sneak peek check out this video.

There is no doubt if you have been out in the last few months you have heard and danced to this track. However I think it’s a safe bet that the majority of people in the clubs have no idea who certain artists are or even the name of the track, this post is dedicated to those folks.

Steve Aoki is probably best known for his remix work with artists like The Killers, Robin Thicke, Lenny Kravitz, and Duran Duran but he is also the man behind Dim Mak Records which launched acts like MSTRKRFT. If that wasn’t enough he is also involved in fashion and has created several clothing lines, check out dimmakcollection.com to buy some of his gear.

If on the off chance you haven’t heard this track before it is featuring vocal by Zuper Blahq (aka Will.I.Am). Take a listen…

Luke is a Dutch DJ and producer. He is definitely becoming quite a rising star and has risen to #27 in DJ Mag’s top 100 DJ List. He has worked with many other big names in the industry including David Guetta, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Junior Sanchez and collaborates often with the Swedish House Mafia. Look for more from Laidback Luke who is definitely a rising star with notable sets at this year’s WMC.

His latest track, a collaboration with Jonathan Mendelsohn could easily have been a top banger at WMC. Take a listen to see if you agree…

Chicago’s DJ/Producer Steve Smooth is musical force to be reckoned with. Voted as one of “America’s Favorite DJs” according to BPM Magazine, Steve took his skills as a DJ to countless venues in UK, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, Canada, North America and South America. If you are ever in Chicago you can hear him spin at his semi weekly residency at Spy Bar. His latest release is a collaboration with fellow Chicagoan Luvli whose vocals definitely add some soulful house cred. Take a listen…

The wait will soon be over! Today Kaskade has released the first single, the title track, it’s a gritty production, smoothed out by the vocals of Haley, known to KASKADE fans the world over as the ethereal singer of “I Remember” and “Move For Me.” Available digitally April 27 with a physical release May 11 via Ultra Records, “Dynasty” is the follow-up release to the massively successful “Strobelite Seduction”. To support the album, KASKADE is planning an extensive worldwide tour to last through the end of 2010. As of this blog post there is no date in St. Louis but (hopefully) that may change over the next few months.

Check out the new single and I would love to hear what you think?
