July Picks!

Flip! Just where have the last seven months gone.
At least I got a couple more posts of Joe’s work into our blog this month.
I tease him all the time about how he’s turning into me – this months is no different.
His five are all tracks I’d be happy to include in my picks for the month.
So here we go again …

Joe
1. Frankmusik ~ Confusion Girl (Riff & Rays Club Mix)
Entering the charts at number 29, the single version is a fairly good pop record, but I prefer the Riff & Rays remix!
2. Mr Hudson feat. Kanye West ~ Supernova
After helping to produce Kanye West’s most recent album, Mr Hudson is repaid with vocals for his fantastic new single. There is a Calvin Harris remix available however, it just doesn’t appeal to me – how strange?!?!
3. Dizzee Rascal ~ Holiday
The new single from Dizzee Rascal is likely to be a big as Bonkers and Dance Wiv Me. I did like the old Dizzee Rascal hip hop but I love the new electronic dance produced by Calvin Harris.
4. Calvin Harris – Ready For The Weekend (High Contrast Remix)
On the subject of Calvin Harris, this is his new single, due for release on the 10th of August. I haven’t heard much of the single version yet, but the High Contrast remix is brilliant!
5. Akon – We Don’t Care
One of the less successful single releases from the album ‘Freedom’, I personally really like this track. It gets me nodding!

Paul
1. Boogaloo ft Wiggy ~ Limbo Limbo
Finally managed to pick this up, I had to check back to see if I’d included it before. It’s a rework of Hear The Drummer Get Wicked with added dance steps by Wiggy who used to feature on Hitman & Her.
2. Lily Allen ~ 22
The latest offering from the It’s Not Me, It’s You album by the lovely Lily.
The chorus is fabulous. I thought it was called Day & Age because I was too lazy to check.
3. Recall 22 ~ Subimos Juntos
Uplifting instrumental for young people to go bonkers to on a beach somewhere.
4. Madonna Vs Dizzee ~ Holiday
I know Joe already put Dizzee’s Holiday in but I wanted it and this is a bit different. I’ve only heard it a couple of times but it’s a mash-up of Madonna’s 1983 classic with Mr Rascal.
5. John Barrowman ~ I Made It Through The Rain
If you don’t know why, I’m not going to tell you.
Let’s just say, just because I hope Chris gets to go to the pyjama party!
