"F for You" (MAJR club edit) - DISCLOSURE ft. MARY J. BLIGE

Earlier this week, Disclosure decided to drop a version of their track 'F for You' with the venerable, drama-less Mary J. Blige... and the world rejoiced.  Think about it: Disclosure + Mary J. Blige... that really does just about cover everyone, doesn't it?  In any case, I took it and beefed the track up a bit.  I mixed a fun, semi-complex layered intro, added a more interesting (though hardly noticeable) outro (both to make it more mixable for DJs), sped it up to 130 (from 124), fixed the pitch, deleted a few lull-points that would kill the dance floor and basically made it a splash more fabulous through multiple other forms of witchcraft.  Enjoy: 

If you like what you hear, give my page some love.

unreleased BRITNEY | MAJR club edits

Get it.  Get it.  

Here are some simple, DJ-friendly club edits for y'all out there who want to bang out the new BRITNEY before it gets released Tuesday in the USA.  Enjoy!

SIREN guest dj DELLA VOLLA serves up some Spears-ness

To say that Wesley Della Volla is a friend to good music is an understatement.  He's more a liaison to all things sonorous.  He's also a brilliant DJ I've seen develop over the years and I'm really happy to be associated with him, as a whole.  Definitely check out his KickKickSnare - an amazing music blog/page that has helped expose some of the best of modern pop.  

Also, his overweight cats are fabulous. 

DELLA VOLLA took the time to give us his top 10 BRITNEY tracks:

1. Toxic

2. Overprotected

3. Stronger

4. Kill The Lights

5. Born To Make You Happy

6. I Wanna Go

7. Boys

8. Radar

9. Piece Of Me

10. Work Bitch

[What are yours?]:

"Ooh La La" (MAJR remix) - Britney Spears

So, Britney returns with a song that isn't absolutely horrible, but it felt disjointed and I was bored and wanted a project... so ta dah!

This song sounds extremely similar to SEAL IT WITH A KISS, to me at least.  What do you think?

"Young & Beautiful" (Myndset v. MAJR edit) - Lana Del Rey

The newest in a long line of danceable cutter songs.  Hooray LANA DEL REY!

Madonna MAJRmix - 37 songs | 57 mins

One of the most tedious mixes I've made.  So difficult to piece together some of Madonna these tracks- especially with production qualities varying from 1983-2006.  It was worth it, and then some.  I CANNOT WAIT for Friday's Madonna party: http://www.facebook.com/events/490789950983345/

Kylie, as many know, is my #2.  She is second only by inches to the great ROBYN, and I will adore Kylie and her influence for years to come (into my world).  She is simply the Empress of Electro, Queen of Club, Down Under Doyenne of Dance, International Sovereign of Synthpop, Prima Donna of Provocative, and our very own Aphrodite.  Here are 41 minutes of 31 songs in a non-stop homage mix to the one and only KYLIE MINOGUE!

My Summer Vacation | MAJR's Top 10 Beyoncé Songs

 

I won't explain how much I adore Beyoncé any more than I have through the invite copy, promoting, and general tomfoolery I've committed throughout the process.. What I can say is that tonight is going to be a glorious shitshow.

Well, that and this:

Beyoncé is one of the biggest stars on the planet, but she has street cred.  She can back up her talk with an elegant walk and one hell of a raucous performance that is anything but the synthetic, derived output of her contemporaries.  The bitch has my respect, and (like a proper trollop) she relentlessly puts out.

TONIGHT @ SIREN, we celebrate.

My TOP-10 (definitely in order...)

10. Lose My Breath

09. Love on Top

08. Jumpin' Jumpin'

07. End of Time

06. Why Don't You Love Me

05. Bootylicious

04. Ring the Alarm

03. Freakum Dress

02. If I Were a Boy

01. Crazy in Love

fresh: "BEYONCÉ MAJRmix" - DJ MAJR

As the quarterly insanity that is my SIREN dance party (this quarter it's THE BEYONCÉ BALL) approaches, I have taken the time to develop, mix, edit, release, and honor the diva who is BEYONCÉ Knowles...

...or as my friend and I used to call her, BAYWUNZ KANOHLAYZ!

26 SONGS | 52 MINS | NON-STOP FIERCE

PAT YOUR WEAVE (download)

Here's some info about the upcoming (destined to be epic) party, taken from the Facebook invite

SIREN RETURNS for its quarterly dance party shitshow, and this time we put on our freakum dress, get you bodied, and put your bootylicious love on top 'til you lose your breath...and also get your ass drunk.

Hooray!

We plan to honor our favorite humanitarian fierce-ass diva queen almost acceptable actress extraordinaire, BEYONCÉ Giselle Knowles-Carter. We are going to destroy the green lantern with everything from her amazing hits, to Destiny's Child classics, to the artists she has inspired...

This bitch has more weaves than a basket factory, more sass than the tranny hookers on 4th street, and more raw talent than her precious little Texas mind can grasp. 

And, she lets Jay-Z give her the business... which we can imagine takes some dexterity.

FRI SEPT 14 @ GREEN LANTERN

MAJReview: SpringPop '12

The bar has been raised so the bar can be razed.

 The inspiration for this mix, as always manifested itself out of the music.  I was moved by the power of pop in the past few months; especially the beautiful pop music that could be transferred to the dance floor (e.g. Florence, Studio Killers, Niki & the Dove).  The last year has been a tough one for pop music- especially with the standard set so high in the latter half of 2010 with Robyn and Kylie, and the ho-hum Lady Gaga sophomore attempt (we expected the world, didn't we?) in 2011.  The powerful returns of Marina & the Diamonds, Florence + the Machine, Scissor Sisters, and Nicki Minaj have helped 2012 Spring rise above.


Favorite tracks: Tomorrow (Kat Krazy remix) - Niki & the Dove, Eros & Apollo (MAJR remix) - Studio Killers, I Love It - Icona Pop, and Cocaine (No Big Deal remix) - Eric Clapton... at least for now.

songs for PRIDE!

So, I'm closing PRIDE @ the Howard Theatre tomorrow.... Some songs you'll definitely hear:

remix monday: ruff draft: "Primadonna (MAJR club edit)" - Marina & the Diamonds

If my instincts are correct, Marina Diamondis is about to kick the 'sophomore slump' right in the brown eye. After multiple quality leaks of new tracks, Marina & the Diamonds is about to drop what could be one of the best follow-up pop albums in years. Due out APRIL 30th, Electra Heart could be special. Here is the track listing:

1. Bubblegum Bitch

2. Primadonna

3. Lies

4. Homewrecker

5. Starring Role

6. The State of Dreaming

7. Power & Control

8. Living Dead

9. Teen Idle

10. Valley of the Dolls

11. Hypocrates

12. Fear & Loathing

The only omissions that worry me are Radioactive and the superbly stellar Scab & Plaster. But, if her direction in those tracks is any indication, this record is going to be dance-pop meets indie meets jizz your cerebral dance-pants.

Here's the first single, Primadonna:

And here's my FIRST remix of it (I may work on this more). I debuted this on Friday at Cobalt in DC, and it went over well. It went over even better in Tucson on Saturday at IBT's:

GET THE REMIX

Ready or Not...

This fantastic vidja was produced by Alex Deatherage in association with DJ MAJR. If you aren't excited yet for SIREN on Friday, you have no fun in your soul. Hooray! If you want the background track, it's I'm a Machine by David Guetta ft. Crystal Nicole. And.... here is the dance mix of it:

GET THE SONG

And also this:

MAJReview: WinterPop 2012! (listen & download)

45 mins. 30 songs. 3 months in the making!

So, after editing and mixing and editing and bitching and editing and dancing my feelings away...

... it. is. DONE!

Enjoy a voyage to a land where you always dance, you never grow old, beasts try to love you, men with long hair try to kill you, and little latin boys in dresses can't jump.

Let us now mourn the end of winter, as is the tradition of our people... It is time for some hot hot love to turn notorious on your ass.

This mix will make you jump like a bloody domino, shake your shady machine like a wild one, compel you to hallucinate that video game starships have landed in your house and are forcing you to dance in circles like it's midnight in the 212, while unzipping the fuck out of your dreams. Drums and light will make you stronger, show you where you have been, where you want to go, and why you want to see it again. So, there's no need to go anywhere else to buy you some 100% luvin' because who could love u more than I?

How will you know? Gurl, you'll be fucking radioactive.
