ALBUM - Club Massive Summer 2010



And no, this is not an official album. It's just a little something I made during my spare time. In case you don't know, I started creating several albums this past year in this so called 'Club Massive' series under my sleeve. 'Club Massive' is an eclectic fusion of mashing club music into radio-friendly pop remixes. Basically, my general love for dance music all crumpled into one album. Thus, if this is what you are into, I assure you to go get the album! Feedback is definitely appreciated.

Disc One - This disc starts off with the latest upfront mega pop hits, including Katy Perry's 'fine, fresh, fierce' anthem, "California Gurls," one of Inna's future coming hit singles, "Moon Girl", a REMIX of Gaga's, "Alejandro" as well as other upcoming mainstream tunes. The disc also adds some jam packed, electro remixes, including a Kris Menace remix of Bennasi's "Spaceship" as well as a Guetta collab with dutch producer, Afrojack. Ending off with the disc contains pure summer, feel-good vibes from the ever so chanting "I'm In Love", to Robyn's brilliant "Dancing On My Own" track.

Other top tracks such as "Break Me Down (Bellatrax Remix)" and "Fallin' In Love With Brazil" surface the ultimate night life experience, whether its you and your pals cruising at night, or just straight up hitting at the clubs.

SONG REVIEW - Chicane "Middle Distance Runner" Featuring Adam Young


Now this is how a proper dance summer tunes should sound like. This song basically fills in every single aspect I would want in a total summer dance track. It's monotoned beats, faced within Owl City's embracive, warm, vocals embody greatness. I also love the meaning to his whole video. Of course a dance song would include skanks prancing around, but in this video that's not the point. Watch and see for yourself.

ALBUM REVIEW - Clubland 17



Ahh, it is that time again for summer. Just when you thought you had no other dance CD throughout the summer to go out and have a marvelous time, or while you're at your bedroom facing boredom but suddenly feeling a bit shaky while circumcising a total eargasm. Clubland 17 arrives in a nick of time with a list of huge summer anthems, whilst there are others that are floor filler killers as if it sets you off in some odd mood. Insert the disc, press play, and see what lies in front of you as the record values great beats, and rather indulgent ones.

Disc One starts with a bang. The definite summer anthem kicks in with Yolanda Be Cool & D-Cup's "We No Speak Americano," a somewhat 30's sampled repetition, filled in with quirk and addiction through the voice of a Spanish singer. I'll tell you that this song may not please everyone, as the repetitiveness sample of this lyrical tune may be an irritation to the bossum, or maybe if you're one of those lads who'll dig in to anything that has that total club behavior that makes a crowd go bonkers. Other standout tracks include the bomb-shell Romanian Inna, with her year old flirty, distinguished track, "Hot", Edward Maya's sultry, radio-friendly "Stereo Love," and surprisingly a grower, cheese sing-a-long to Danzel's "Under Arrest". One track particularly that blew me away was a lustrous tasty remix of the Aggro Santos' track, "Candy" . From the genius autotune catch phrase bridge, "girl you look familiar where do I know you from' part, to the provocative chorus lyrics, "ooh come and get ya some candy," this track in no doubt is probably the catchiest and most ridiculous song I have ever had to encounter ever on a Clubland compliation. After ten or eleven so tracks, the first CD moods downhill, as tracks such as "Pon De Floor", "Are You Gonna Bang Doe" a ten minute track of BEP's "Imma Be" remix, and a non remix of GaGa's "Alejandro" makes you think.. W.T.F are these songs laying 'round here in Clubland? First of all, say we'd compare "Pon De Floor" as a real life situation. You would compare it as someone who is in the middle of having tourettes, for crap sake. That's how painfully it felt to listen to 2 or so minutes of such nonsense. A tropical-y, I don't know how to describe it but somehow lays a weirdly, children's party beat around there, aroused lyrics, "Are You Gonna Bang Doe" sets a different mood to the entire album as well. It's despicably form of genius lyrics "oy you are you gonna bang" makes you wonder.. "Oh, I know most dance music brings a lot of heat in everyone, but if you wanna be that obvious, why don't you think of some excuse to make such clever lyrics?" Oy you, this song needs some lyrical lessons from the Blackout Crew. Thus, the last few remaining leaves a whole cluster of eurodance trash. A sudden, class tune of Agnes' "On and On" is left seemingly lonely next to a horrendous cover of "Nothin' On You" made by yours truly, fruity loops, and a hi-energy, "Partyline" of chav's made for the wrong reasons.

Lasting Appeal: Overall, the first disc leaves a half impression of mid-tempo energetic tracks, however, leads to some shameless beats that are better left unattended to the series.

Juku Picks:
  • "We No Speak Americano"
  • "Stereo Love"
  • "Hot"
  • "Candy (Tweakz Remix)"
  • "Under Arrest"

Disc two offers quite of the same. It's a mixed bag of goodies, yet again stale and dry tunes of dreadful covers, appalling remixes, etc. The song starts off to, which, I refuse to have on my iTunes along with the other tracks. It haunts me to even talk about this song because I did not want it ever to exist in my head, or appear on this hectic, roller ride of an album. Yes folks, it is the brilliant 'MC's' (and 'diva') trio, Na-na-N-Dubz... Now let's move on shall we! The disc finally begins to a positive with a sort of an outdated, yet brilliant mix from Flip & Fill of Ultrabeat's newest single, "Bring It Back," which is indeed, a massive improvement over their suicide cover, "Use Somebody". There was something I felt that was missing in this track. It could be the wrong choice of thump added to the background synths and whatnot, but it is yet one of the better songs in this album. Inna is back, yet with another smash to her upcoming single in the UK, "Amazing," which really suits the title of the song itself. After the chorus kicks in with bass and 'Cascada' beats, the song turns into a brilliant taste of euphoria, leaving a feel to an enjoyable summer feeling. The album continues on with a questionable appearance, Mr. #1 dj in the world (as ranked on the internet) himself, Armin Van Buuren with his three or so year old worldwide hit, "In And Out Of Love". It's great to see him appear on Clubland, but it's best if one of his newer singles appeared. Possibly, "Broken Tonight" would have been a better choice. Although its quite a few months old, it could do since it has not ever appeared on a Ministry Of Sound album anyways. Forward on to another surprisingly filler to this CD, "Pina Colada Boy," which brings a 90's tropical, catchy, Vengaboys "We're Going To Ibiza" feel. Speaking of Vengaboys, they have seemed to reincarnate back into the world with yet their most painfully song to date, "Rocket To Uranus". The album afterwards just clusters to how this whole disc even started to, a great track next, then to a dreadful one.

Lasting Appeal: Like I said from beginning to end, this disc is served as one of the most loopiest, forgettable, most oddly tracklist I have ever listened to from Clubland. To sum up, its a pile of sloppy inconsistency.

Juku Picks:
  • "Bring It Back (Flip & Fill Remix)"
  • "Amazing (N-Force Remix)"
  • "Pina Colada Boy"
  • "Rude Boy (Wideboys Stadium Remix)"
  • "Electric Boogaloo (Find A Way)"

Overall appeal: The sorting of tracks in disc one have improved a lot over the past few compilations, excluding the sub-part to Styles' "Sound Without A Name" remix, which was kept somehow around the mid-tempo tracks . The track should best be left later in the first disc assorted with the "Loco" track and "Stuck On Replay". Though, the second disc sorting isn't any better (looks over Clubland 14). The album begins strongly, yet continues on to be progressively worse. Clubland just quite doesn't have its spark like it used to before. Although I've said it countless times before (since 11). It's not just Clubland overall that lost it, its basically the entire dance scene, where its left in the hands of mainstream artists nowadays, and DJ's who used to be respected as artists but is left as sell outs to impact a more broader, more versatile audience. (Guetta, as we speak, yet I think you know who it was all along.) As a whole, this whole album reflects the danger of dance music greatly, and it saddens to all us who have seen less and less of proper dance tunes left for us to hear this past year.

OVERALL : 5/10

its kinda funny.

how i saw my first ever post on this blog and it stated that -- i didnt know where my first blog went. to sum this up, before i pretty much had a thought about coming back here, i went to that site, and ive realized how much ive grown so much as a person. maybe not physically of course, but in a way of how i feel about certain things and myself in generalization. i just found it so neat that in two years of time, i would still be doing this. i honestly wouldnt expect myself writing about this now.

randomnesslifeofjukuguy.blogspot.com

a year without blogging

im a bit of a fool on how to start saying something after doing something (such as this) for a long time. so first off, i am going to say about how thrilled am i to remember that this blog ever existed and that i remembered the password to access to this site. i think throughout this summer this will be the time where i will spend my time just dishin' off some random thoughts in my head to pass the time. because lets face it, its pretty difficult to find a past time that can really freshen up your mentality. this blog perfectly heals everything i am within myself because i can fully express thoughts by typing and not holding everything in my head all the time.. i want to do this so that i can have some sense of relief inside me, essentially to embody a clear, strengthener mind. as i look through my hands i feel that each night my veins want to get out of my system. so since i need these hands throughout this summer to type, i pray that it doesnt come bursting out anytime soon..

Big Brother Thoughts...

Lies, manipulation, deceipt, conquer, avengence, betrayal, wise, loyalty, and courage all reflect the values determining in a Big Brother game. So far this season, many of these players were pursuited to do these movements to further themselves in the game. Some had succeded while others may not had the luck or destiny to woe themselves ahead of the competition because of karma or any other instant that dragged them across the line. This year, there were many circumstances regarding how each player should have held their cards right in order to lock themselves safety and move on to the latter weeks to come...

I feel as though Michelle is playing the best game amongst the other houseguests in the game thus far because she is a strong competitior who does incredibly well during competitions, which weekly remains her staying in the game. Although her stratagies may not be the brightest to convince others to join sides with her or reconcile whatever deal she has to offer, I feel as if her personality and allurance in this game is dragging her to the point where she can not control her own remorse emotions which I feel will drastically change her game if she does not keep her head straight and willling to win the game. I have confidence she will find her way to win this game, though it will be hard depending if the jurors will determine reasons why the five hundred grand deserves to her.

Kevin would be also be a great candidate to claim the prize because he has made some bold moves to determine his place in the game as of now. The people whom he has chose to be with particularly each week has benefited him to be rarely seen in the bottom two right until the point where all of his allies were sent home or to the jury. Now being stuck with the most inconsiderate player in the house, Natalie, Kevin is in a good postisition where his scenario will not be sent straight through to evicition; unless if Michelle or Jordan wins veto, Kevin might have a real good change of leaving the game forever.

For Jordan's sake, her only destiny throughout this game (now that one of Jessie's Angels are in charge this week) is to survive and fight for the veto. If she will not successfully win the veto, her chances staying in the game are slim to none. Although her loyalty shines through most players (unlikely Natalie despite of her self-centered behaviour) her charm may become one of the definite benefits to save herself in the game. As well, despite Michele being the stronger player, the other side of the house might want to evict her and save the weak one a pond to hold their final two status.

As for Natalie, let's pray she does not win regarding her insightful, demolishing behaviour who does not clealy deserve to win the 500 G prize.
