BURN LIST DEC 08

BURN LIST DEC 08 KICKS ASS!

Crossfade 5 seconds from the next track and you will be shaking your ass too as the big beats build after each amazing breakdown - and there are P-L-E-N-T-Y in this set!

Starting out with vocals from the current # 1 dance radio track "Behind", a big, solid thumping groove changes from progressive house to techno in Camille Jones' new release, "I Am (What You Want Me to Be)" quickly followed by HOT London DJ Chris Lake's "Only One" which could very well become a future club classic.

"Infinity 2008 (Klaas Vocal Edit)" from Guru Josh Project dissolves electro beats into a breakdown straight from Marlboro Country only to get hard, heavy and electro once more in Lasgo's "Out of My Mind (Sebastian Dali Remix)". Britney Spears versus French DJ Martin Solveig in "I Want Circus" somewhat result to a tribal (surprise!) groove. The mash-up is perfect segue for the last tracks of the set from Darude (in a Flock of Seagulls remake with AI beatboxer Blake Lewis in vocals), The Killers and The Prodigy. The BPA, which is Fatboy Slim's new project featuring collaborations with numerous other acts, slows things down in the end with "Seattle".

It felt sadistically wrong to group together DJs with NYC-tribal, London-progressive house, Aussie-electro, or Dutch-trance influences into a 10-song length set, NEVERMIND having tracks from Darude, The Prodigy and Fatboy Slim with their own distinct sounds. I think posting a blog with the 4 to 15 mixes of the same song just don't make good bandwidth sense and thought of blogging "all the hottest electronic music" in playlists. As I've explained in older posts, a well put-together BURN LIST provides for a fuller listening experience. Yes. Even if it is sadistically wrong! Now crack that comment button with a whip if you agree.

CIRCUS REMIXED

This, I didn't leak. I just threw in the remix.

A day coming into the release of Britney Spears' latest studio effort, Circus, I already am a big fan of the album! I really dig the 80's pop vibe of a lot of the tracks (Lace and Leather, Unusual You), combined with Britney at her usual form in Kill the Lights and If You Seek Amy (get it?). I threw in some REALLY AWESOME bonus tracks in this set as well, starting with the Lady Gaga-written Rock Me In, to the clever Phonography, capped with my favorite track out of the whole bunch, Amnesia. Tearing up hot remixes of Womanizer, Circus and Radar are, in that order, Angel Manuel, hot Aussie DJ Matt Green and a must-watch electro DJ from Boston, Hot Pink Delorean. Enjoy!

Circus, the latest album from Britney Spears is available in stores tomorrow, 2 December 2008.

Backburners

Since there are hot, hot, hot BURN LISTS going back to June 2008 and I intend to keep you tuned in week after week to the coolest, most exclusive blog in the history of dance music, I will post all the earlier BURN LISTS as BACK BURNERS. They will not be in chronological order to keep you excited what could be coming next. After all, some of the tracks from burn list jun 08 are now just becoming mainstream!

A Stud Named Disco

So I finally decided to put up a blogsite. I have been posting BURN LISTS on imeem, myspace and facebook since early summer of 2008, initially to share the excitement of finding a hot, new dance track or electronic artist. I thought it will make me less of a criminal that I downloaded music for free if I was able to promote it anyway. It then became a motivation for me to keep up with finding all the latest kick-ass track since radio plays (even satellite radio programming) get tiring. In my grandest illusions, I also wanted to shape the dance music attitude in Beantown since most DJs who come to play here seems to tone down their sets. Of course, I needed to have listeners.

I think some of you were listening and that's all I needed to carry on the task of finding the newest electronic music to have leaked on blogosphere which I felt to be a hot track in the making. I kept at it on at least a monthly basis. I also kept to the method of posting playlists instead of individual tracks (using the jargon BURN LIST since 'burn' seem to be a close translation of my last name) with the forethought that when I eventually post tracks for download in my own blog site, it will be as a set. This is not to keep the anti-piracy trackers at bay, but instead as an attempt to come up with a coherent collection of up-and-coming, kicking tracks for a fuller listening and partying experience. All these continue on to become the coolest, most exclusive, influential electronic music blogsite in the history of dance music! Finally, A Stud Named Disco is here!

And as before... I promise, I did not leak it.
