Kylie Minogue - Into The Blue (Country Club Martini Crew Mix)

The new single is off to a great start all over the world in its original version. The first remix package with mixes by Patrick Hagenaar, Roger Sanchez, and Vanilla Ace has been released. Patrick's mixes are in a similar vein as the original, whereas Roger Sanchez switches things up with a Deep House mix, however, he opts to pitch shift the majority of the vocals making Kylie sound strange. Vanilla Ace's dubby treatment has a 90s Rave sound to it.

Country Club Martini Crew has produced the definitive remix of the song keeping the main vibe of the song intact, but at a higher tempo. This works in every way.

Robbie Williams - Last Days Of Disco

This is the latest U.S. single from his Reality Killed The Video Star album from last year. The original version is a bassline-driven dance/pop track. The song is more 80's synthpop sounding than disco, but it's fine. Robbie's vocals are restrained and smooth. There are remixes of this by Roger Sanchez, Black Van, Still Going, and Mighty Mouse. Roger's mixes are very energetic. The synths are really nice. The Black Van mix is in a similar direction as the original. The filtering and buildups are quite good. The Still Going mix has that familiar Giorgio Moroder "I Feel Love" type of sound. This one beautifully captures the vibe of the original while combining it with something else. The Mighty Mouse mix has a slight disco style. Overall, all the mixes are good, but the Still Going and Mighty Mouse ones are the best of the bunch.

Tino Coury - Diary

"Diary" is the debut single from singer-songwriter Tino Coury. He sings about looking through his girlfriend's diary. It's not as sleazy and tacky as it sounds. It's somewhat cute. It's a bit cliché lyrically, but it's fine. Tino's vocals are pretty good though. This is a decent choice for introducing him to the music-buying public. It's an uptempo pop track with an electro undercurrent. There are remixes by Roger Sanchez and Groove Police. Roger's mixes have that electro/house sound he has been doing for the last couple of years now. The song doesn't really fit his production. Groove Police's mixes are more in line with the original and work better.

The digital single will be released on May 4.

The Transatlatins featuring India - I Can't Live Without Music

This song has been around for a few months but now it's finally getting a release. The Transatlatins is a production alias for the legendary Roger Sanchez and Oliver Azor. The 'Princess Of Salsa' India provides the vocals. She recently released a re-recorded version of her club classic "I Can't Get No Sleep." "I Can't Live Without Music" could prove to become a club classic in the way many of her other singles have. India's vocal performance is top notch and she just lets loose. It's a great track from start to finish.
