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.

LONG LIVE MUSIC!!

Two iconic songs fused together into one track. That's what you get when you press play on "Tricky Sharona." First, you take an all time power-pop, college favorite classic in
"My Sharona" by the Knack. Then, you blend it with an 80's hit that actually sampled
"My Sharona" with Run DMC's "It's Tricky," which still packs dance floors around the world to this day, 30 years later. The result is an uncontrollable, quick-hitting mashup that will get everybody moving, whether they want to or not. This is high-powered stuff right here.

Tricky Sharona can be streamed right here or at djdiamonddog.com, and you can also download the high-quality (320) mp3 here as well. There is also a mashup video available to watch. This mashup is tag-free for the DJ's and it also contains an 8 bar intro and outro.

Thanks for listening and I hope everyone enjoys this latest mashup along with all the other mixes at djdiamonddog.com.

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!!

The Final Round (Tupac vs Biggie)

download Tupac vs. Biggie - The Final Round

The debate has been going on for 20 years now. Who was the better hip hop artist? Tupac? Biggie? Well, even though that debate will carry on through future decades as well, The Final Round will take a different approach at defining these 2 hip hop icons. This mixtape is not geared towards placing one above the other, but to give us all a peek at how hip hop could've sounded had these 2 worked together as opposed to against one another. The Final Round takes some of the greatest hip hop tracks from both Tupac and Biggie and makes them duets. With tracks such as California Love and I Get around featuring Biggie, these tracks take on a whole different feel. The same thing goes for tracks such as Hypnotize and Big Poppa. By featuring Tupac as a friend instead of a nemesis, these tracks are clearly very different.

This will probably be my final mixtape of the 2015 year, so be sure to grab it up. You can sample it here or at djdiamonddog.com and you can also download the mixtape. With 18 tracks on board, you will be sure to get a different perspective of these 2 classic 90's emcees. Without the hate, there's no telling how many boundaries these icons would've destroyed. Thanks for the support!! And I hope everyone enjoys this latest addition to the mixtape library!!
