Lil Jon - Get Low (Dessert Remix)

download Lil Jon - Get Low (Dessert Remix)

This one is pretty self explanatory. Get Low by Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz, from the album Kings of Crunk (2002), is a timeless track for any spot that is spinning dance/ booty shaking music period. Everyone knows this track and can recite the lyrics "To the window, to the wall...!" Dawin's Dessert experienced mild success in 2015 with another set of memorable lyrics "what'cha gonna, what'cha gonna do with that dessert?" 

These 2 combined just give Get Low a whole new flavor. You can stream this one to your pc (in either clean or dirty versions) at djdiamonddog.com so you can get a nice taste for the sound. I have also put together a video for the remix that you can view above. If you like this track & want to add it to your library, you can access the free, instant download here. Also, for all my fellow DJ's out there, this download comes complete with clean & dirty versions with 8 bar intros & outros that are completely untagged. 

Thanks to everyone for your support. I will have more uploads soon! 

Can You Stand The Rain (Urban Dance Mix)

download Can You Stand The Rain (urban dance mix)

The year was 1987. New Edition's future was in question. Bobby Brown had departed. Rumors had surfaced that lead singer Ralph Tresvant was planning on pursuing a solo career. The group's remaining three members, Mike, Ronnie & Ricky, had voted singer Johnny Gill into the group to pad the potential departure of Ralph. The result of these moves will remain in our memories (and ears) forever. New Edition released Heart Break in 1988 and arguably one of the biggest hits from the album was Can You Stand The Rain. The original ballad took the hearts of every New Edition fan as well as everyone else.

Fast forward to 2017... 29 years later... the urban dance mix of this classic is remixed by yours truly. This is one of my all time favorite New Edition songs and I really wanted to put it back in people's heads. I kept the original song 99% intact (with minor alterations) but added a more uptempo beat to it. Can You Stand The Rain (urban dance mix) can be downloaded right here or at djdiamonddog.com free of charge. You can also stream both the audio and video here, as well. I urge everyone to take a listen to this one, especially if you're a New Edition fan. DJ's... the download contains an untagged 8 bar extended mix for your sets. Thank you for your support.

Heathens (Locked Up Mix)

download Heathens (Locked Up Mix)

Heathens was a worldwide smash hit, topping the Billboard charts in over 25 countries! Heathens is an alternative rock song with a very mellow vocal approach to it. Pushed by the hit movie Suicide Squad, Heathens found itself peaking at #2 on the US charts along side the group's other hit, Stressed Out, from their 4th studio album Blurryface.

How do you enhance a song with this much power? You cross it over. Since the video takes place inside a prison, what background beat would work better than Akon's Locked Up? Take this fundamental sound and include a verse from a 90's hip hop icon ( Tupac Shakur) and you have a hit that touches on the hip hop genre as well as pop/rock. The download is free and you can access it by clicking here. The download link includes 8 versions (clean & dirty, extended clean & dirty acappella clean & dirty, instrumental & an alternate version using the beat from I Got 5 On It by Luniz).

Can't wait to download it? Then stream it right here or at djdiamonddog.com. Are you more of a visual person? Then I got you covered. You can also check out the Heathens (Locked Up Mix) video.

Country Megamix II

download Country Megamix II

Country music has long been an American tradition, from Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash to Brantley Gilbert & the Zac Brown Band. Country music, in the new millenium, remains popular in the mainstream with artists such as Sam Hunt and Florida Georgia Line hitting the number one spot in the Hot 100. The new age country has adapted and taken sounds from different popular genres such as rock and even hip hop in order to give it a new edge sound. It's definitely not the sad songs that were being released 50 years ago. The new country is much more upbeat.

It's been 8 long years since I dropped my last country megamix, which was used at a fireworks display, so I have decided it was time to put another one together. This one consists of both country, country rock and southern rock. You can check out the Country Mix II by streaming it here. If you want to listen to it locally, you can download it for free here.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (rabid remix)

download Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (rabid remix)

In 1984, when times were still much more conservative, one of the most overly sexualized songs was released. Originating from England, Frankie Goes to Hollywood dropped the sex-heavy hit Relax (Don't Do It) and it took over. At one point, the song was even banned by the BBC due to it's controversial lyrics, which the band stated were not sexual in nature. Nonetheless, the lyrics were received as sexual by everyone else. Relax peaked at #1 in the UK and at #10 in the US. Even now, 33 years later, the song remains widely recognized by audiences of all ages.

With the remix of Morning After Dark about a week ago and featuring a sample of this smash hit, it was clear to me that I wanted to remix the original song. The remix features a verse from Petey Pablo and upgraded percussion. It is a nice alternative to the original, especially with the increased bass. You can stream Relax (rabid remix) right here  and (as always) you can download it here for free as well.

Be sure to check back for more great summer remixes and mashups. Coming soon will be a long overdue country megamix!!

Timbaland - Morning After Dark (Relax Mix)

download Timbaland - Morning After Dark (relax mix)

Timbaland's Morning After Dark was a mediocre hit in 2010. It featured the original Timbaland type sound combined with 2 of the featured artists on this remix... SoShy & Nelly Furtado. The song had a dark (but sexy) vampire theme... as described by Timbaland. It was also the debut for his new artist (at the time), SoShy.

The Relax Mix features a sample from a timeless classic that originated in the mid 80's... Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, which was an overly sexual song for it's time. The melody is one of the most reognizable melodies of the decade and really sexualizes the song. Along some solid percussion and effects, this remix really adds a good floor appeal. You can stream the Relax Mix of Morning After Dark right here or at djdiamonddog.com. If you enjoy it, be sure to download it. The download also features an instrumental as an added bonus.

Stay tuned to djdiamonddog.com for more upcoming remixes to set your summer off right!!

Foundations (the evolution of hip hop/r&b)

download FOUNDATIONS (the evolution of hip hop/r&b)

The genres of hip hop and R&B are complex genres that were influenced by a number of different sounds. These genres, through time, evolved into what you hear today. Many people don't realize just how much influence is still involved in today's hip hop/r&b music. Samples of funk, disco and even rock & roll are often heard throughout the hip hop genre. And R&B has evolved from bands into mostly vocal groups through the use of digital production. But, if you listen close, you can still hear those influences from yesteryear in both genres. 

Foundations takes you on a journey through the foundations that initiated today's music. You will hear the music that pioneered the hip hop genre as well as the highly influential genres that gradually evolved into today's r&b genre. You will hear icons such as James Brown and the Fatback Band in the same set with more recent artists such as Mariah Carey and Usher. 

With a 2 hour time span, Foundations is great to throw in your ride or even turn up at your next BBQ. The playlist is phenomenal and you can stream Foundations right here or at djdiamonddog.com as well as download it for data-free play on your local device. 

Foundations (the evolution of hip hop/r&b) is a great mixtape for the old heads and young gunners as well. For the older folks, this will take you back. For the young folks, this will give you a new perspective. If you don't believe me, then check out the playlist....
