Music Monday 8/31/15 | What Do You Mean by Justin Bieber
As we move out of the Summer season and head into Fall, it’s only fitting that we get What Do You Mean by Justin Bieber dropped in our laps. I heard this track for the first time on the radio while driving in Las Vegas yesterday afternoon and all I can say, is wow, what a comeback track for Justin! The fact that he’s been working with the Jack U duo means we should be getting an album full of dance floor fillers. Talk about a catchy hook! This track has it for sure. I’ve never been a huge “Belieber” fan but my wife has. She’s already been begging me to get her the promo tracks ASAP (perks of being married to a DJ, I guess). This will be in heavy rotation for my events and mark my words – this will stay a while at #1 on the charts. What do you think? You like it? C’mon, no shame in your game for agreeing with me on this. This is my Music Monday pick for August 31st.
Music Monday 8/3/15 | Hotline Bling by Drake
Well, Drake has done it again. My Music Monday pick for 8/31/15 is Hotline Bling by Drake. I’m usually not a down-tempo hip hop fan. I like stuff in the 100 to 115 BPM range (yes, I’m a HUGE 90s hip hop fan when everything fell into that range). This one is around 70 Beats per Minute (BPM) but the good news is I can fit it in my high energy sets by doubling the beat. Did I lose you on that? Drake once again gives us a fantastic hook and the instrumentation is so simplistic that his rapping really stands out. This guy has been putting out some club bangers recently and while recently he has been on a more “hard” hip hop flow – (i.e. Energy, Back to Back, etc.), this one completely flips the script with a more melodic chorus (similar to some of his older singles “Hold On We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had”). Anyway, I think this track will around a bit. Get ready to here this one A LOT!
