Bounce (DJ MAJR club edit) - Calvin Harris ft. Kelis

As we go along in this series of club edits I like to make, some are passé to the point where they only work (see also: enjoyable) in the context of a night out dancing or in combination with other songs. In other words, these songs are played-the-fuck-out and aren't worth a post by themselves. So, here are two of the biggest songs of this past summer, together, and me not wasting your time! Hooray! Enjoy...

What A Feeling (DJ MAJR club edit) - Alex Gaudino ft. Kelis

"Bittersweet (DJ MAJR club edit)" - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

As I lead up to SIREN on December 9th, I am going to start on a series of edits and remix tracks that everyone should have... and that I'm really excited to play for them. Here is a club edit I made of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Bittersweet, which makes me queen out like you wouldn't believe. The Freemasons did a hell of a job on this, it just needed the MAJR touch (basically I want it more danceable and dancefloor-friendly). Remember, filler only makes you a fat bitch. So, get yer dancin' shoes on!

"I Need You So (DJ MAJR club edit)" - Sneaky Sound System

As far as the new Sneaky Sound System album, my favorite dance track (my favorite track of all is downtempo) is EASILY I Need You So. This track is big as hell, and the bass rocks the hell out of my car speakers... try for yourself...

As far as this club edit, I wanted to shorten the song, up it to a house beat (128bpm) and drop the parts that would possibly kill a dance floor. The song itself is an aphrodisiac to the ears, but to a dance crowd it needs editing. Check it:

Sidenote: doesn't Miss Connie look delightfully eurosexytrash with that do?

fresh: "One That Got Away (Sick Puppy vs. DJ MAJR edit)" - Katy Perry

POLL: SHOULD I PLAY THIS LIVE @ SIREN?

Apparently Sick Puppy made this Katy Perry mix a year ago, when the album first dropped. I really like when a remixer hears what's good before everyone else, and now they look like a genius. It also helps that this remix blows the ass off every other one I've heard (even Mixin Marc's, whose stuff is usually solid but who dropped the ball on this one). Anywho, I did my thing on this club mix and made it playable for me... I'm ready to rock this one out, even if it is boobmeister mcgee singing.

The One That Got Away (Sick Puppy vs. DJ MAJR edit) - Katy Perry by MAJRmusic

On a side note, does she not look like Demi Moore in that photo? Crazy. Makes me want to kill her husband so she can make me a new pot for my plant. Additionally, this may be my favorite song ever (see also: polished turd) by Katy Perry.

essential: Calvin Harris - extended mixes

The man who made us Bounce with Kelis and has set the pop world afire with Rihanna, does not often get his due. He's young, innovative, and creative enough to have his own staple of a sound. Perhaps the greatest testament to how much I love his sound is that he has made me dance to (his remixes of) Shakira, Primal Scream, and Mika... not easy to do. So, if you aren't already, GET INTO IT!

Here are 3 awesome 1-click-downloads:

Feel So Close (Extended mix)

We Found love (Extended mix)

Bounce (Extended mix)

I just saw this video (how did I not see it before?!) and it made me so happy. Very well done, Mr. Harris (::channels Lost In Translation::). So, for your visual enjoyment:

Also, check out these awesome remixes of Feel So Close that I posted a while back.

"Give Me All Your Love (Alessio Silvestro vs. DJ MAJR edit)" - Madonna

NOTE:

The link below will still download, despite Madonna's management being big annoying bitches and disallowing the playing of the track.

Give Me All Your Love (Alessio Silvestro vs. DJ MAJR edit) - Madonna by MAJRmusic

I had a lot of fun editing this remix (all goddamned morning). Alessio Silvestro, for the 2nd track in a row (the first was Rihanna's We Found Love) has done a pretty awesome job at remixing a brand new song. I thought it needed some help in the momentum department, for my tastes, so I did my best to make it into something I would love to play live. So, I edited it down, sped it up, and deleted the fluff in order to create more of a pop, if you will. So, here ya go! Your weekenditty! Madonna is soooo back.

Gaga... finally a song I liked released off the album...

Here's the glorious Lady Gaga performing on X-Factor. I wasn't floored by this, but I was impressed that she stayed mostly in-key. The song really is a showcase of her vocal talent, and I'm glad she pulled it off. The performance was quite good, and I'm glad she took a dramatic angle with its delivery.

remix monday: my fav U2 remix

I recently rediscovered this old remix by Crookers of U2 that is fantastic. I used to play this track back in 2009, and I still enjoy it. It is so good (if you don't hate U2) and worth having if you enjoy throwing in an unexpected track in your sets -- which is what I did in my Capital Pride set (at the Hirshhorn in '09). So, enjoy this electro-goodness:
