Lil Dicky - Save Dat Money (Love Of Money Mix)

download Lil Dicky - Save Dat Money (Love of Money Mix)

Released in June 2015, Save Dat Money grabbed alot of attention with it's comedic content (very similar to Thrift Shop by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis). The debut single by Lil Dicky peaked at #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and # 23 on the US Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs.

Fast Forward to March 2016, Save Dat Money (Love For Money Mix) is released at djdiamonddog.com. The remix still features Fetty Wap, but replaces Rich Homie Quan with Busta Rhymes and completely overhauls the original sound. The Love for Money Mix features an elegant sample of... that's right... For The Love Of Money by The O'Jays. The new sound is still dance-floor friendly with alot of energy.

You can download this remix single here, which features everything you'd want in a single... clean & dirty versions, clean and dirty untagged extended versions for my DJ family, an instrumental, and both a clean and dirty acapella. You can also watch the video for this remix here. This remix has everything you'll want for your party or for the club.

Check this one out! I think everyone will enjoy it. It's a nice alternative sound to the original. And the DJ's will certainly enjoy the untagged extended versions which also feature 8 bar intros and outros.

Jackson 5 - I Want You Back (ft Black Rob & Walter Orange)

download I Want You Back
(the Jackson 5 feat. Black Rob & Walter "Clyde" Orange)

One of Motown's finest groups, the Jackson 5, unites with funk legend Walter “Clyde” Orange as well as Bad Boy's Black Rob for a remake of the classic I Want You Back. There is also an alternate, more pop-friendly remix featuring the Jackson 5 with Black Rob and the new millennium pop phenomenon Taylor Swift.

The remix featuring Walter Orange, originally the drummer from the Commodores, who was also the lead singer on the hit Brick House, has a hip hop/funk sound with strong percussion. The Taylor Swift version is more pop-oriented and features a more acoustic intro along with a much lighter beat.

You can sample I Want You Back (featuring Walter Orange) and I Want You Back (featuring Taylor Swift) at djdiamonddog.com. You can also download the remix bundle featuring high quality versions of both remixes as well as an extended version for the DJ's.

Stay tuned for more great remixes coming soon!!

Cha Cha Funk (Mr C vs Mark Ronson)

download Cha Cha Funk (Mr. C vs. Mark Ronson)

 

In the early 2000's, Mr C released a song that has remained popular at venues all over the world for over 10 years. The Cha Cha Slide, which is a line dance, is simply a series of instruction by the artist that the dancers follow. Simple concept. Huge following. Then came 2014 and the release of Uptown Funk, an enormous hit by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. Although it is not a line dance, Uptown Funk has found it's way into mp3 players around the world and looks to be a mainstay at venues of all occasions.

Cha Cha Funk takes those dance instructions and combines them with the popular beat of Uptown Funk. Although the actual dance moves remain the same, they are in a different order. This mashup of these 2 iconic hits is guaranteed to fill your floor, whether at the club/bar or at your house party. Be sure to take a minute to sample Cha Cha Funk and download it for your next big (or small) occasion.

Stay tuned!! 2016 has much more to bring!! And don't forget to check out Creative Sounds DJ's, my mobile DJ business based out of Watertown, NY.

Harry Belafonte - Day-O (rabid re-drum)

download Harry Belafonte - DayO (the Banana Boat Song) (rabid re-drum)

Day-O (the Banana Boat Song) originated in Jamaica in 1952 and was later popularized by Harry Bellafonte in 1956 on his album entitled Calypso. The calypso (also referred to as mento, or Jamaican folk music) song was later re-popularized in the late 80's when it was featured in the classic movie Beetlejuice.

Marking 60 years since Harry Belafonte made the song mainstream, 2016 also marks an upbeat remix/re-drum version of this classic, geared towards dancing in the modern club. Day-O (the rabid re-drum) features a house beat over the original calypso tune. With the 4 on the floor beat, this re-drum will liven up any occasion.

The re-drum is available for download and it features both a regular remixed version and an extended version for the DJ's. There is also a video available to watch right here and at djdiamonddog.com. 

Thanks for the support and enjoy the music!!
