Everyone in the Gaga world has been in nothing short of a frenzy over the last 24 hours as Lady Gaga previewed a new track from her new album Born This Way (out May 2010), titled Scheiße (German for shit - LOL - love you Gaga).
The remix features minimal vocals yet still has caused commotion like never seen before (ok, maybe seen when Kylie Minogue debuted with Locomotion in 1987 - same, same). Love the sound of the beats, but really, it doesn't give you much!

Medina. the Danish hottie that treated us all to You And I in 2010 (a massive club hit with remixes produced by Deadmau5, Kaskade, and Spencer & Hill just to name a few) has returned with another hot track, Addiction.
Taken from her first international release, Welcome to Medina, Addiction picks up where You And I left off - great beats, hot vocals, and a begging to be remixed by some of the great house DJs. The track went to #1 in her native Denmark, and has playing around various charts across Europe. Will it achieve the same club success as it's predecessor...? Maybe not, but it's certainly getting some spins at my place.

Well, new-ish. 2Gether was originally released by Roger Sanchez almost a year ago. Of course the version then was an instrumental (sort of, dub mix maybe). Today, riding on the back of the success of their #1 US hit, Fly Like a G6, we add Far East Movement.
The track brings together the sexy house number we know from 2010, with the vocals of the Far East boys, to give us a new sound for the Summer airwaves. I've already heard it 'round the club scene, and I expect that to continue further. Additionally, with the vocals added it gives the track a better opportunity of being picked up by commercial radio... so let's see if that happens.
In case you haven't picked it (if you haven't you clearly need to climb out from what ever rock you've been hiding under for the last twenty years), the sample "we can get together" is taken from The B52's #1 hit, Love Shack!

Yep, Britney's done it again. According to Billboard.comBritney Spears...
"...becomes just the second artist in the Billboard Hot 100's 52-year history to debut multiple songs at No. 1, as Hold It Against Me blasts in at the summit."
Britney now has four of her singles to debut at #1 - Baby One More Time (1999), Womanizer (2008), 3 (2009) and of course, Hold It Against Me. The only other artist to achieve this feat is Mariah Carey with her hits Fantasy (1995), One Sweet Day (1995) and Honey (1997).
Well done Brit!
Locally, Hold It Against Medebuted at #10 on the ARIA Singles Chart, with an expected jump into the top five this weekend. Will Brit achieve a #1 hit against in Australia...? - not at this stage, but let's see what happens when the video and a further EP is released.

God there are some good tunes out at the moment! Taken from Deadmau5's third studio album, 4x4=12, is the third single, Sofi Needs a Ladder. The track features Sofia Tofua (aka SOFI) on vocals.
It's a typical Deadmaus5 track, but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't impress. After Animal Rights, which features Wolfgang Gartner, it's my choice as one of the strongest numbers off the album.
I think with the addition of SOFI it finishes the piece. In fact, it actually reminds me a little of last years smash - I Like It by Richard Vission feat. Static Revenger and Luciana. Big similarities in the girls vocals for sure.
No clip at this stage, nor am I expecting one - however listen to the track and share your thoughts? You like?

If you're a regular reader of my blog you'll know how much I adore Nadia Ali. The ex-iiO singer went solo a number of years back, releasing her debut album Embers in 2009. Embers is by far, one of my favourite albums of all time. Nadia's beautiful vocals weave in and out of electronic beats that make you yearn for love and want to groove all at the same time. Throw in the fact that she is a Middle-Eastern Goddess and BANG!
Ok, lost focus. Where was I?
Back to music. In 2010 Nadia set out to release three remix albums under the common title, Nadia Ali: Queens of Clubs, each with a different gemstone representing each version (first: Ruby, second: Onyx and third: Diamond). On the second album Nadia revisited a favourite number of mine, Rapture, originally performed as part of iiO in 2001 (my God - ten years ago!).
Rapture has been remixed by Avicii and is aptly titled Avicii's New Generation Mix. I love the fact it has "New Generation" in the title as it's totally true. We have a new generation of young party goers that get to embrace the warmth of Nadia's vocals on what is clearly one of the best and biggest club tracks of all time. Generation X clubbers finding dark corners at 5am with Nadia whispering "mi amore don't you know, my love I want you so..." Ahhh, to be young again.
NOT.
Rapture (Avicii's New Generation Mix) is starting to get club play in Australia, and I expect globally very, very soon. Listen out for this one - it's gonna be big!

So we know this isn't a new Martin Solveig track, in fact, Hello was released way back in September 2010 - but somehow, someway and for some reason, Australia has only started realising that this massive club smash is brilliant!
Featuring the vocals of Canadian singer Martina Sorbara (one half of Dragonette), Hello has been riding pretty at #1 on the ARIA Club Charts for a few weeks now. As of this week Singles Chart, it also appears just outside of the top 20. Over in the UK Hello reached the top 20; and in many countries across Europe and New Zealand, top 5.
The clip is great too - it features Martin and fellow Frenchie Bob Sinclar battle a tennis match out at Rolland Garros (the famous ground of the French Open).
For me, this track reminds me a lot (of the absolutely tiny bit) of Summer we had late December / early January... everywhere I went I seemed to hear this track blazing from some speaker box. Love, love, love it.
So, how about you? Love the track as much as I do? Share your thoughts!

Swedish cutie September returns with her next hit, Resuscitate Me. The track was released late 2010 in Europe, however no release date has yet been confirmed for Australia. Resuscitate Me will be taken off her forth studio album, Love CPR, to be released this year.
Last time September graced our airwaves was with her 2008 hit, Cry For You, which earned September her first top 20 hit in Australia. Cry For You was also a success across the UK, Europe and the US.
Resuscitate Me is a typical September song - easily lovable, with that distinct beat that echoes under her unique vocals. This number also features a nice piano backing... sounding oddly like When Love Takes Over (David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland). Hmmm.
True September lovers won't be disappointed, I'm not! Now - will someone hurry up and release it in Oz please!

Ok... so I might be a little late. Four weeks late in fact. Yes, the amazingly talented and beautiful Brooke Fraser premiered the video for the second release off her recent album Flags, on her website four weeks ago. So yes, a little late. Sue me.
Betty, the track in question, was co-written by Fraser and Switchfoot front man, Jon Foreman. It's another up-beat, catchy tune that radio stations *should* love. It easily gets stuck in your head, and is definitely one of the stronger tracks off her latest release.
The video clip features Brooke waltz through a field of flowers, surrounded by what can only be described as butterflies (or tiny birds, ummm, I'm not sure) made out of origami. It's very cute. Simple, I like it.
Something in the Water was a great choice for a first single and charted in the top 30 in Australia - let's see if Betty can do better.
PS: I'm going to see Brooke perform at the City Recital Hall in Sydney on Sunday 30th January - stay tuned for my update on how brilliant she was!

OMG
Really, I don't know why I'm surprised - it was only a matter of time before one of my favourite tracks OF ALL TIME was remixed by one of the current great DJs around the world.
Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, aka Everything But The Girl, from Hull, England; formed in 1982. They produced a number of singles and albums across the 80s and 90s; however it wasn't until Missing (taken from the 1994 Amplified Heart album), was remixed by New York's Todd Terry, did they start to make some noise globally.
Missing was a club smash EVERYWHERE. It peaked at #3 in the UK, #2 in Australia and the US... and out of their 31 single releases, is their most successful single to date.
Fast forward 15 years later (God - already? I am so old), enter Fedde Le Grand and wham! You have yourself a club hit all over again. The video below provides a sneak preview of the outcome - Tracey's beautiful vocals warming you up for a classic house number that you know you can't wait to groove to. All you have to do is watch the clubbers in the clip to know that when you hear this remix next time you're out, you're going to party like it's 1999. Well, maybe like it's 2011 instead.
