The party song you’ve been waiting for!

ITS FINALLY HERE! The crew at 2AM Club has finallynybf released their first single of their much anticipated new album. Tell me you can’t imagine this being the song of the summer this year? It will definitely be the song you hear on the radio and in the clubs in the coming months. Check it out here first and spread the word!

Also, add it to your Spotify playlist or pick it up on iTunes!

Good luck not hearing this in a Spanish speaking city :)

While “Danza Kuduro” came out in 2010 you would be hard pressed to not hear this track at some point while out and about in Spain to this day. This dance floor staple by Puerto Rican Don Omar was a #1 hit across pretty much all Latin charts and contains both Spanish and Portuguese elements only helping to make this song a massive international hit. Personally, I whistled this song for about a week straight while in Spain, so now I hope its gets stuck (or restuck) in your head.

Pop music from Denmark I promise you will like!

Its a bold promise, but the funny thing about this song is even without knowing what she is singing in Danish, you can still enjoy the song and get whats going on here. The song is by Medina who won Best Danish Artist honors at both the 2009 and 2011 MTV European Music Awards.  I was put on to this track while in Copenhagen this summer where she is pretty much their version of Britney Spears. This track is called “Kl. 10″ and I dare you not to enjoy it :)

Add this to your St. Pattys party mix…

St. Pattys Day falling on a Saturday seems to be many peoples dream come true :)

I know there are a lot of people starting the festivities tonight and restarting them again bright and early in the morning, so I figured folks may need some uptempo music to keep the energy levels high!

This is a great track from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris off his forthcoming album and the song is called “Feel So Close.” Already a staple in many club DJ’s set lists, this is a great pop-dance track that is a feel good song and will give you your second wind if needed. Enjoy!

“Get-going-in-the-morning” Music…

Ever have trouble getting out of bed in the morning? If you’re a night owl like me then thats every day. My remedy is typically to flip my stereo on and throw on some music that gets my blood flowing. My recommendation to you today for such music is “Heartbeat” by Childish Gambino.

You may or may not know him already as Donald Glover, the 29 yr old actor, comedian and writer. In the last 3 years though you can add DJ and musician to his list of talents under the moniker “Childish Gambino” which was a name that he came up with by popping his real name into the Wu Tang Clan Name Generator. Seriously.

Dont Stop!

If there is a band that defined the year of my life when I moved back to NYC from LA in 2005 it has to be Brazilian Girls. I used to see these guys (actually 3 guys and 1 girl lead singer, none from Brazil) almost weekly at one of my favorite speakeasy clubs in the East Village, Nublu, whose entrance was marked by a blue light which was the only distinction between it and an old alleyway.

Their music will bring you somewhere, where that is is up to you. For me, it was this small dark venue where they performed without a stage, so you literally would walk almost through them to get from the bar to the dance floor.  The crowd was either European, South American or the NYC music/arts crowd. The unifying factor in the crowd was a desire to disconnect, dance and appreciate the art of music and dance. On countless occasions I saw people join in with their instruments to play along, or conversely you may see their lead singer Sabina join the patrons on the dancefloor. No matter what, you were transported to a place where music and dance ruled and nothing else mattered.

I had the good fortune of spending New Years Eve 2005/2006 with this crew and it proved to be a night of epic proportions.  Enjoy the song and check out the others from their self titled debut album.
