“G.L.A.D.” Caesar Garcia (Deep Hype Records)

G.L.A.D. = Good Looking At A Distance. Deep Hype Records is out of Chicago and if you know anything about Chicago people, it is that they are not shy! Hence, the vocal on this single comes from a sassy woman who knows what she is talking about! She is just so sure and she is ready to spill it! The track itself is cute and makes a nice musical bed underneath “Miss Thing’s” reading. Cute track that is a lot of fun for sure.

 

“Boom” Tiesto & Sven  (Casablanca)

This funky track utilizes those Kungsy horns in a very cool way. They almost sound ominous but this whole track is very dark for sure. The drum track is super strong and there is a funky element to this as well. The vocal is also deep and acts like a bassline in parts. The breakdown is a dance floor killer the first time it drops but after that, it will tear up your floor! This is an interesting and fun track from Tiesto & Sven.

 

“So Far Away” Martin Garrix & David Guetta f. Jamie Scott & Romy Dya (RCA)
“So Far Away” is a downtempo pop track. They give us a mix with a DJ Intro which is cool cause this original will work for any floor that plays radio friendly tracks. However, for the more sophisticated lounges and nightclubs where adults rule the floor, go straight to the BLR Remix and the Cliq Remix. Both of these mixes are great versions of the Original tune in a House setting. The Cliq Remix is a bit funkier & the BLR a bit sparse, but they both work!

 

“Playin’” Mario Joy (JHaps)

“Playin’” incorporates elements of pop, hip hop & reggae – all in under 3 minutes! Very funky with a confident vocal and a strong hook, this track has everything it needs to pack a dance floor. It could use a DJ friendly mix, but creative jocks with experience will be able to work this in no problem. Radio stations do not have that time concern and so this would work very well on pop radio today. This is 2 in a row for red hot JHaps!
