Posted by Middy on July 9, 2012
Eric Prydz’s Pryda Friends is back at again this time with a two sided release from Andre Sobota. Voyager / Found gives us that smooth progressive sound you expect from Pryda Friends with Andre Sobota’s melodic twist on each of the tracks. The Brazilian DJ / Producer brings together exquisite melodies of long chords, dextrous key play and fine tuned rhythms that will make you lose yourself in his music. Also be sure to check out his remix of Colplay & Rihanna “Princess of China”.
Electro-House, Progressive House | Rihanna – Where Have You Been (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 18, 2012
Live City gives us an aggressive take on Rihanna’s hit “Where Have You Been”. Giving the song a live makeover with heavy dutch influences, Live City takes song and flips the instrumental into their standard electro madness we have come to expect from them. With subtle piano leads, dutch infused electro breaks and an impressive interlude of progressive synths and chopped, distorted vocals, these guys impress me more and more with every release.
Also after the jump are two more remixes of “Where Have You Been” from Averez & Kevin Miller. Kevin Miller provides a more progressive take on the track with uplifting synths in the break and Averez gets into the track with hard hitting bass and a grimy electro drop.
Pop | Rihanna – Birthday Cake (Remix) ft. Chris Brown
Posted by Grubeats on February 21, 2012
It was inevitable. After circulating rumors that CB and RiRi were back drooling over each other after last week’s Grammy’s, we knew a remix was coming. Yesterday, Rihanna’s birthday, likely shocked fans worldwide when she released the official remix of “Birthday Cake” ft. two verses from her assaulter himself, Chris Brown. In addition, Breezy released a remix to “Turn Up The Music” featuring the world’s most desirable woman, Rihanna. Whether or not these two are sitting in the tree together for a second run is still uncertain and only time will tell.

If you’ve been reading the tabloids the past few days you may have seen the rumors floating around that Chris Brown and Rihanna have/will reunite. RiRi celebrated her 24th birthday with a celeb packed private party at her Hollywood mansion over the weekend and after some complications getting legal permission to enter, Breezy made his way in to share a slice of Rihanna’s cake. In addition, Missing Info has confirmed Chris Brown has recorded both a rap verse and a singing verse for the official remix to Rihanna’s single “Birthday Cake” off Talk That Talk. The song is only 1:18 minutes long right now and almost seems like Rihanna has had this planned for longer than we think. Monday, Rihanna’s birthday, has potential to ignite a storm of criticism towards Rihanna from the same people who despise CB after he beat Rihanna back in ’09. At the end of the day, all personal BS aside, if this remix really does happen, it’s going to be a crazy song.
Had to share that, now for the video. I knew this track was going to be a major hit right when it dropped. I can’t say Breezy’s Grammy performance gave this track justice (vocally), but his acrobatic footwork was in full effect. This video has a similar plot to “Yeah x3” where CB blocked off the street and ensued an electric dance festival.

Below is another track I’ve had in my library for several weeks now. I overlooked it because I only had a radio rip, but I grabbed the CDQ yesterday, found the video, and had to share it. Eric Turner, a pop singer/songwriter native to Boston linked up with Lupe and UK spitter Tinie Tempah for a catchy new radio jam.

Just the other day Rihanna dropped her sixth studio album titled Talk That Talk. For those of you who dropped the extra dime on the deluxe edition ended up with this gem. Produced by one of dubsteps legendary duos, Chase and Status delivered Rihanna one of the sexiest, melodic bass-lines I have ever heard. Rihanna topped off the track by adding some amazing mellow vocals, matching the beat almost flawlessly. All in all, an incredible track. If you want the whole album, it is available on iTunes.

Hi Rihanna…
RiRi returns with visuals off her first single off Talk The Talk, which quickly rose to the top of the charts thanks to great prodution from Calvin Harris and phenomenal delivery from Rihanna herself. The video is just as great as the song as it shows Rihanna venturing into the “hopeless places” in hopes of finding love. Dark at times, Rihanna stimulates viewers by maintaining her sexy composure, showing how love is like a drug. It’s definitely one of the deepest videos I’ve ever watched from Rihanna and I don’t think the song could have been represented any better.

Ri Ri you gon’ dun it again. The newest radio hit from Rihanna just premiered on the London waves and quickly made it’s way to FNT. This electro/pop banger is supposedly the first off Rihanna’s newest album, the first since LOUD back in’10, which is set to drop in November. Shout out to producer Calvin Harris for cooking up a synth smashing beat. As always, expect every 16 year old girl and their mother to be fist pumping to this one.
P.S. Chances she wrote this one for J. Cole?
