DJ Mag Top 100 2007

It seems that DJMag top 100 DJ list has been a tradition from 1997. Before that time only people in music industry and the ones related to it were able to contribute towards building this annual candidate shortlist.
In case you have extra spare time it would be nice if you could go and cast your vote for your 5 favorite DJs, (preferably house music DJs haha)
It is already well known that past few years trance music DJ's are dominating on the top100 dance music charts. Nothing left us to do but to hope that house music will also broaden its popularity sometime in future ;)

August House Videos Update

Edun - Put 'em Up

Shame I didn't put this video on sooner. It's such a good vocal house/dance track. Lyrics can be found on this page.

Fireball vs Bob Sinclar - What I Want

I've put this video just because beautiful sights and maybe because of its mild connection with the house sound. No one can say that the latest Bob Sinclar's work is bad or lacks of quality, I just think this man slowly drifted into more commercial dance music waters away from quality house tracks he used to produce. Still, this is a catchy tune and also I can't believe how big, husky guy can have such a gentle voice :). Enjoy!

DJ Jean - Sexy Lady

Some power electro house from DJ Jean. This guy is very well known on Dutch hard trance scene, so it is interesting to hear some house works from him. Pretty good tune, thumbs up!

Kanye West and Daft Punk - Stronger

There is a one word that can describe Daft Punk and it is "Legends". This new video feautrues blend of electronic and hiphop music alongside with new lyrics from Kanye West. Really interesting.

New Releases Begining of August

This last two weeks have been loaded with new releases from well established house artists like Roger Sanchez, Chris Lake, Michael Gray, Antoine Clamaran, Sharam and The Shapeshifters. It has really been crazy week so I just had to mention some of the new releases so you wouldn't miss them. It is really weird to have all these famous names summed upon together with new releases within past few weeks.

After their latest single "Pusher" the Shapeshifters did it once again. New track is called "New Day" and thera are currently two versions of the tune available, nocturnal and extended version. Surely this number is going to increase and some of the new mixes will be delivered from Eric E and Mark Picchiotti. After few tech-house and trancy house "experiments" they are going back to the roots again with their recognizable disco house sound. Dreamy violin strings are mainly dominating on this track followed by stunning female vocals. You can hear and read more about the track on Shapeshifters myspace page!

Roger Sanchez recently teamed up with Tom Stephan under his S-Man guise for a hot new electro house record called ‘Hold On Me’ You can read about it more here and also preview or buy the track.

Michael Gray released also a new track under his alias Robotman which was featured in Mixmag as a track of the month. It is a electro style tech-house track with banging vocals. Preview

Man who refurbished Eddie Murphys track "Party all the time" and gained big recognition as a solo artist and not just part of a famous duo Sharam Tayebi, nailed another one and this time it is a rework of one of the songs from celebrated pop artist Daniel Bedingfield, his track called "If your not the one". I must say it is excellent piece of work.

Chris Lake, talented producer behind huge hit "Changes" and a follow up "Carry me away" made a tech-house electro tune named "To the point". Hear the preview on his myspace page.
