Funkerman - Speed Up Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 16:26:00 +0000

Try to keep up with me
'Cause I can give you some
All the loving you need
I give you such a rush
Baby step up your game
Keep up with my pace
Girl I know that you want it
Don't hesitate

I want you behind my bedroom doors
Ready or not, we're about to speed up
I'm lovin' you girl

I can give you 100 percent of me
If you'd come I'm sure that you will see

DJ Mag Top 100 2007

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:38:00 +0000

It seems that DJMag top 100 DJ list has been a tradition from 1997. Before that time only people in music industry and the ones related to it were able to contribute towards building this annual candidate shortlist.
In case you have extra spare time it would be nice if you could go and cast your vote for your 5 favorite DJs, (preferably house music DJs haha)
It is already well known that past few years trance music DJ's are dominating on the top100 dance music charts. Nothing left us to do but to hope that house music will also broaden its popularity sometime in future ;)

August House Videos Update

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 10:56:00 +0000

Edun - Put 'em Up

Shame I didn't put this video on sooner. It's such a good vocal house/dance track. Lyrics can be found on this page.

Fireball vs Bob Sinclar - What I Want

I've put this video just because beautiful sights and maybe because of its mild connection with the house sound. No one can say that the latest Bob Sinclar's work is bad or lacks of quality, I just think this man slowly drifted into more commercial dance music waters away from quality house tracks he used to produce. Still, this is a catchy tune and also I can't believe how big, husky guy can have such a gentle voice :). Enjoy!

DJ Jean - Sexy Lady

Some power electro house from DJ Jean. This guy is very well known on Dutch hard trance scene, so it is interesting to hear some house works from him. Pretty good tune, thumbs up!

Kanye West and Daft Punk - Stronger

There is a one word that can describe Daft Punk and it is "Legends". This new video feautrues blend of electronic and hiphop music alongside with new lyrics from Kanye West. Really interesting.

New Releases Begining of August

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 20:03:00 +0000

This last two weeks have been loaded with new releases from well established house artists like Roger Sanchez, Chris Lake, Michael Gray, Antoine Clamaran, Sharam and The Shapeshifters. It has really been crazy week so I just had to mention some of the new releases so you wouldn't miss them. It is really weird to have all these famous names summed upon together with new releases within past few weeks.

After their latest single "Pusher" the Shapeshifters did it once again. New track is called "New Day" and thera are currently two versions of the tune available, nocturnal and extended version. Surely this number is going to increase and some of the new mixes will be delivered from Eric E and Mark Picchiotti. After few tech-house and trancy house "experiments" they are going back to the roots again with their recognizable disco house sound. Dreamy violin strings are mainly dominating on this track followed by stunning female vocals. You can hear and read more about the track on Shapeshifters myspace page!

Roger Sanchez recently teamed up with Tom Stephan under his S-Man guise for a hot new electro house record called ‘Hold On Me’ You can read about it more here and also preview or buy the track.

Michael Gray released also a new track under his alias Robotman which was featured in Mixmag as a track of the month. It is a electro style tech-house track with banging vocals. Preview

Man who refurbished Eddie Murphys track "Party all the time" and gained big recognition as a solo artist and not just part of a famous duo Sharam Tayebi, nailed another one and this time it is a rework of one of the songs from celebrated pop artist Daniel Bedingfield, his track called "If your not the one". I must say it is excellent piece of work.

Chris Lake, talented producer behind huge hit "Changes" and a follow up "Carry me away" made a tech-house electro tune named "To the point". Hear the preview on his myspace page.

Kaskade brings new mixed cd

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:47:00 +0000

Kaskade has made a new mixed cd called "Bring the Night", a solid mellow vocal house groove with the standard, high level of house music quality expected from Kaskade. It contains some of his new remixes of Nelly Furtado and Floetry and also a Dirty South remix of his track "Sorry". For more info on this mixed cd visit this page where you can also check out his tour dates.

Axwell - I Found You (Video, Lyrics)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:50:00 +0000

Everybody wanna know
Why I'm walking 'round with a big smile on my face
Hey I'm happy and it shows
Hey I'm back and I'm proud of the human race
'Cause you know I've been down so long
Never thought I'd ever feel this way again
And everything was going wrong
'Till you found me and you made me believe again

I found you, I found you, I found you
And I'm happy that I found you

I don't know what you did,
But what you did to me keep on doing it up
I'm so happy I wanna fly,
'Cause your love keeps on taking me high
'Cause you know I've been down so long
Never thought I'd ever feel this way again
And everything was going wrong
'Till you found me and you made me believe again

I found you, I found you, I found you
And I'm happy that I found you

David Guetta Feat. Chris Willis - Love is Gone Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:33:00 +0000

Joachim Garraud & Fred Rister Remix

What are we supposed to do
After all that we've been through
When everything that felt so right is wrong
Now that the love is gone

There is nothing left to prove
Now you still deny the simple truth
Can't find the reason to keep holding on
Now that the love is gone

July House Videos Update 3

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:02:00 +0000

The Shapeshifters - Pusher

A bit different trancy electro house style from The Shapeshifter, but not poorer with quality or house music experience. Vocals are just great as usuall. Youtube description says this video was filmed in Margaret Thatcher's nuclear bunker! Is this confirmed info? :) Enjoy it!

Sunfreakz Feat. Andrea Britton - Counting Down The Days

I simply love this track. It just radiates that pure house summer feeling with especially excellent lyrics and vocals from Andrea Britton. Sunfreakz is a project from Belgian producer Tim Janssens, who first made trance music and just few years afterwards shifted to house.

Paris Avenue - Feel It

Pumping groove sound from Paris Avenue, a follow-up to top 20 hits "I Want You" and "In My Mind". Personally my favorite is "In My Mind", nothing beats that powerful synth melody

Alexandra Prince - Queen Of House

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 13:08:00 +0000

Alexandra Prince has a new single gone out called "Rising High". She's a true rising star amongst house music vocalists as she worked with top-notch house artist and music producers. You all probably remember her from massive summer hit "So Many Times" produced by Gadjo in 2005 which really launched her carrier and got her plenty of recognition. She is a Germany, Hamburg based female vocalist with a Brazilian and German heritage. Her latest single "Rising High" was produced by non other than Syke 'n' Sugarstarr and released on Kontor Records.

David Guetta - Love Is Gone

There is no need describing this man. Enjoy this video of his latest single "Love is gone". Personally I think he has much better tracks than this one, atleast the video is a little funny.

Josh Wink - Higher State Of Consciousness

This is 2007 Remix by Dirty South and TV Rock of once groundbreaking acid house club anthem from Josh Wink.

July House Videos Update

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 23:47:00 +0000

Yves Larock - Rise Up

This video features some freestyle jumping rope moves. I really couldn't see this one coming as an inspiration for Yves Larock's Rise Up video, but I can honestly say it goes really well with this unofficially proclaimed 2007 summer anthem.

Alibi vs. Rockefeller - Sexual Healing

If you can say "never enough" to the beautiful girls who shake their booties in house music videos then you should definitely check this one out. Alibi and Rockefeller (Beatfreakz) made a good up to date remix of an old Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" song.

Music loudness in clubs can cause serious hearing damage

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 11:08:00 +0000

Youth which often goes clubbing is exposed to high levels of risk for partial or complete deafness caused by high music noise level, new British RNID institute research study showed.
By study results, which involved 1.380 young people, 90% of them said that they had hearing problems after a night spent in the club, stating that they had either a ringing in their ears or "ear numbness".
On concerts or in clubs, young people are often exposed to a 125 dB noise level which is more over 110 dB for example how much average asphalt power drill is making.
"Young people are poorly informed about noise level safety" stated RNID deputy director John Lou adding that they could suffer complete deafness if they are regularly exposed to loud music.
DJs and other people who are working in clubs should be wearing special ear plugs which are lowering down the noise level but not the quality of the sound.

Chris Lake feat. Emma Hewitt - Carry Me Away Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 17:38:00 +0000

Down, the water holds me down, it’s like I have no weight
And now, I'm floating with the tide, the sun is on my face
And I hear you talking. I hear you speak, someone's talking saying something
But I'm on my own, there nothing left to say, it carries me away

And you call out, I can’t hear you, I can’t feel you, no I can’t feel nothing
And you call out. I can’t hear you, no I can’t hear nothing
And you all look the same, now
You all look the same, now

Now, there's nothing that I want, to take me from this place
I'm drifting further with the tide, that carries me away
And you call out, I can’t hear you, I can’t feel you, no I can’t feel nothing
And you all look the same, now
You all look the same, now

I know you're trying hard to reach me
You'll always feel the cold without me
I know you're trying hard to reach me
You'll always feel the cold without me
I know you're trying hard
