BPM Edition 2010 v1 | Take 2 - a podcast by Keith a.k.a. K j A M

Kicking off this set is Mariah’s third release from her “Memoires of an Imperfect Angel” album.  What’s notable here is Jump Smokers have gone back and re-worked the entire album for a near future release and what a job they did!  I admit, I wasn’t all that happy with the album, but I think pumping some fresh blood into it may be it’s saving grace.



With the exception of Agnes’ “On & On” the first half of this set delves deeply into some seriously smoking hip-hop via the electro route.  Folks, this is what I’ve been talking about.  The saving grace for hip-hop is going to be electro.  While all of these are stellar tracks that’ll get you jumpin’ Bassmonkeys and Soulshaker serve up a really funky number on “Bad 4 My Health.”  With two separate memorable taglines (Don’t blame me if I think with my hoo hoo) and (just call me and I’ll be there in a second) this song delivers the goods and then some.  The other is “Now You See It” by Honorebel with Pitbull, which has been blowing up all over dance floors.



The second half moves in a more mainstream direction starting with Keri Hilson’s latest “Slow Dance.”  Kaskade really works this number out with a throbbing immediate electro bassline.  Another personal favorite is the latest by Dragonette.  “Pick Up the Phone” may slow it down it bit, but it’s catchy as hell and is the type of song that relentlessly sticks in your brain.



Closing out this set we’ve got some reloaded classics.  ATB’s “9PM (Til I Come) is a sure fire floor filler and Everything But the Girl’s “Missing” is taken to new heights.  Picking up where Todd Terry left off, DJ DLG adds some thick bass stabs, while retaining the integrity of the original of this late 90s classic.  Perhaps the oddest number in the bunch is the closing track “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King.  This is the original 60s classic given an electro makeover by Rachel Ellektra that surprisingly works very well.



As a reminder, this set and its companion to be released on Thursday are part of a trial I’m running to help cover my costs associated with this site.  When you click on the “donate” button you will be taken to PayPal where you can make your contribution of $2.99.  Once completed, you will receive a separate email with download instructions.  It will also have an email address to contact me should something go wrong and I can then reset the link for you.



I hope everyone’s having a great week.  I’ll be posting Take 3 of this set on Thursday and have already started in on the "Winter Edition” which is coming up short on new material.  Hopefully, some new tunes will start showing up this week, otherwise, it will be my first single set in a long time.  I’ll be back in a couple of days.  Until then, enjoy!
