Leah LaBelle - Lolita (Remixes)

This is the latest single from the rising R&B singer. The song is sensual and funky in its original version. Leah's vocals are intoxicating.

There are some remixes by Chris Cox, Sick Individuals, and Sidney Samson. The Chris Cox mixes have that dark anthemic quality that was characteristic of his work with Barry Harris when they produced together as Thunderpuss. The Sick Individuals and Sidney Samson mixes are produced in an aggressive Electro/House style and are on the noisy side. The Cox mixes are the best of the bunch.

Mayra Veronica - Ay Mama Mia (Remixes)

This is the latest single from the sexy Latin diva. Armed with an arsenal of remixes by Chocolate Puma, Dave Aude, Razor N Guido, Robbie Rivera, and Sick Individuals, it's a extremely fun Summery song to warm us up during these cold Winter months. It has a convivial carnival type of feel. Every mix is great, but the standouts are the Dave Aude and Razor N Guido mixes. Dave's keeps the Latin feel but adds some big stacky riffs to it. Razor N Guido's follows that style too but they inject some of their signature NY edge to it. This should be filling dancefloors all the way through the Summer.
