Tory Lanez - LUV (rabid remix)

download TORY LANEZ - LUV (rabid remix)

One of the smash hits from 2016 was LUV by Tory Lanez, a smooth R&B/dancehall track that had the energy to fill a dance floor. Although LUV peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 for Tory Lanez, it was actually a remake from Tanto Metro & Devonte's 1997 version which was entitled Everyone Falls In Love.

The rabid remix of this hit features vocals from the original version by Tanto Metro & Devonte as well as Jamaican dancehall artist, Samantha J. This is a great remix to combine 2 different eras nearly 20 years apart. Be sure to take a minute to sample LUV (rabid remix) by Tory Lanez and also download it for your personal music collection.

With Christmas right around the corner, I'm hoping to get a few more tracks out before the end of the year... to keep them parties poppin'. Thanks for the support and be sure to share the link djdiamonddog.com with all your friends.

Rock of Ages vs Yeah (Def Leppard vs Usher)

download Usher vs. Def Leppard (Yeah vs. Rock of Ages)

First of all, I want to apologize for not dropping anything over the past 2 months. I've had serious family matters that have been being addressed.

Now, on to the music!! Two iconic hits from 2 iconic eras smash paths in this high energy mashup. Whether you're a classic rock/hair band metal lover or a hip hop/R&B/crunk listener, this one has it all. It all starts with the well known intro from Def Leppard's Rock of Ages....Gunter gleiben glauchen globen... which means exactly what you thought it meant, nothing at all. Then, bring in some funky crunk bass from the smash hit in the 2000's, Yeah by Usher... and now you've got something to work with!! Yeah vs. Rock of Ages takes the best of both worlds and fuses them together flawlessly, giving you a classic 80's feel with that new age bass. This is a perfect mashup for any open format parties or venues.

So, please, check this one out by streaming it directly and be sure to download it for your music collection. The download comes via zip file, so please contact me, either by email or through facebook, if you have any problems downloading this latest mashup. The download also contains the regular clean radio version as well as a clean extended version for the DJ's.

 

I'm getting back at it. I'm gonna be working hard to get some more great mixes out before the end of the year. Thanks so much for the patience and the support!! And don't forget, you can always get more great mixes at djdiamonddog.com.

DJ Diamond Dog Live At Mick's Place (September 24, 2016)

Here's 45 minutes of DJ Diamond Dog spinning live at Mick's Place on September 24, 2016. It was a full house for all the great hip hop, reggae and R&B tracks.

Promotional Mix (September 2016)

download the Promotional Mix (September 2016)

This is a promotional mix I put together in September 2016. This mix is being shared to showcase my music selection and transition skills for playing at most clubs or bars in the Northern NY area. The mix runs approximately 1hr 50mins. The track selection begins at a more mellow, low energy pace and gradually increases the energy to (what would/could be) the peak time at a bar or club venue. The music genres vary between old school hip hop, R&B, EDM, house, reggae and top 40.

The full mix is available for free promotional download. The download will allow the playing of the mix through an mp3 player for testing purposes.  Once downloaded, the mix can be played at any venue to test crowd reaction. The mix is also tag-free, so there will be no annoying DJ drops while testing. The tracks included in this promotional mix are completely clean radio edits, so it can be tested anywhere. I also have more mixes available at djdiamonddog.com. For booking or questions, I can be reached at any of the above links... or simply click the corresponding link below or email me at hitmeup@djdiamonddog.com.

Desiigner - Panda (ft TI and Rick Ross)

download Panda (rabid bootleg)

 The year 2016 marked a huge year for newcomer Desiigner. He blasted onto the scene with the smash hit Panda, which dominated the charts throughout the summer. Heavy percussion and a unique voice gave the Brooklyn rapper an upper edge with his debut single, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With the success of the original, I offer you a remix alternative featuring T.I. & Rick Ross. You can stream Panda (the rabid bootleg) here and you can also download it for your music collection. There is also a video for this remix that you can watch here. This remix keeps all of the original energy while adding verses from T.I. & Rick Ross, 2 of hip hop's icons.

There will be much more coming soon, so stay tuned to djdiamonddog.com for some of the hottest releases this fall!!

Pushin' Tha Limitz II (video mixtape)

With the new age of music, video has been an integral part of most promotions. Virtually every artist you hear, both mainstream and underground, has videos to accompany their releases. About 6 years ago, I began dabbling in video and released Pushin Tha Limitz which was a full video mixtape... completely mixed throughout. It was rather ahead of it's time at that time and got many positive reviews.

Well, after 6 years of working with sound and video (mostly remixes and mashups), I took the time to put together a part 2 to that original video mixtape. Pushin' Tha Limitz II runs an identical pattern to the original and features both new and old school tracks. You can stream Pushin' Tha Limitz II right here for free. I expect to offer a download link in the future, but for now I am keeping it as a streaming only project.

If you enjoy this video mixtape, please let me know on my facebook page or at my Twitter account. With some positive feedback, I'll set up a download link for anyone that would like to watch this one lcally on their pc, tablet or phone. Thanks for the support everyone.

TLC - No Scrubs (Party Up Bootleg)

download No Scrubs (Party Up Bootleg)

watch No Scrubs (Party Up Bootleg) video 

In 1999, TLC released one of the most infectious anthems for the ladies ever heard. No Scrubs described independent women and the fact that they needed NO man... well, at least no scrub. The song shot into the top 10 in many countries worldwide as well as peaking at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. This release is timeless and still gets the women moving and singing when it comes on.

The year is 2016 and DJ Diamond Dog has bootlegged not 1 but 2 versions of this classic. Earlier this year, there was the more mellow version featuring the beat from Same Old Love by Selena Gomez (you can listen to this version at djdiamonddog.com). Now, there is the much more upbeat and higher energy version of this song laid out over the beat from Party Up by DMX as well as a featured performance by Fat Man Scoop. This high energy version is guaranteed to get a great response from the ladies at any get together or bar/club venue.

You can sample No Scrubs (Party Up Bootleg) and you can also download it for your music collection. There is also a remix video that you can watch here.
