Photo There are a lot of these tunes out there. You know, a house version of a rock or pop tune with a little bit of vocal in it and it's always about 8 or 9 minutes long. Well, often I hate them but sometimes I really love them. This time I'm in love! Albin Myers song "Times Like These" with vocals from Foo Fighters! Albin Myers - Times Like These (Club Mix)

Photo "Alexander Technique feat. Van Scott "Nightlovers" will be out on February 24, 2009 on DANR with remixes by Acid Jacks, Nick Catchdubs and Chewy Chocolate Cookies .

Photo Hot Pockets remix of Line's cover of "Love Lockdown" has been on my mp3-player all day and it's grown to love me. It takes up the paste in the end and I'm sure it will be getting a lot of airtime in the studio also. If you like it, buy the whole thing . Line - Love Lockdown (Hot Pockets)

This is a new teaser of Tiga's upcoming album CIAO! TIGA. The tune "Overtime" doesn't reveal that much of what's coming but it's enough to get our hopes up. I love it and I'm sure we will be dancing soon to more of Tiga and of course all the remixes that's coming. Tiga - Overtime (Teaser)
