Song of the Day: Calvin Harris feat. Kelis “Bounce”

June 16, 2011 in Music, Song of the Day by SceneKC

I’m not going to to lie, I am a HUGE Calvin Harris fan! His second album “Ready for the Weekend” (2009) is one of my favorite albums of all time. Like any good fan I am eagerly awaiting his next album that is due to be released either later this year, or early next year (uggh). While we are waiting, Mr. Harris has been kind enough to release a couple of singles in advance of the new album. The first single “Awooga” is a straight instrumental dancefloor banger with an 8-bit vibe that gives it a very funky appeal (Check it out HERE). Now for the second single “Bounce” Calvin has teamed up with Kelis (who is way too underrated IMHO) on vocals. Her voice blends perfectly over Calvin’s trademark driving bassline and bleepy, blippy synth leads. “Bounce” picks up where “Ready for the Weekend” left off which is very nice. It’s like going back on vacation to that one special place after being away for a long time.

Obviously I could blather on all day so check out the video for “Bounce” and please leave a comment! If you like the song add it to your collection by clicking the iTunes or Amazon links below.

OK St. Louis just in case there is anyone out there that doesn’t know that yes there are women in the DJ game let me hip you to a thing or two! There are indeed many top female DJs out there but if there was a “Queen of the Decks” that title would have to be bestowed to UK artist DJ Rap. DJ Rap (AKA Charissa Saverio) has been in the DJ game for over a decade and has brought an aggressive female vibe to Jungle/Drum and Bass style electronic dance music. Her breakthrough CD “Learning Curve”, was released in 1999 to widespread critical acclaim and she has continued to release six more solo albums building on “Learning Curve”s success. This is one busy lady because in addition to her solo music and performance schedule she is a member of the DnB influenced band Metasyn. Metasyn’s latest single was released last month and I have to tell you I think it’s really hit on something new. Check it out here…

In case that Metasyn track was a little to rocking for you here is DJ Rap’s latest single “Give It All Away”. Check out the EP for “Give It Away” because it has several great remixes worth checking out! My favorite is The Starkillers remix…

Remix Kings Adam K & Soha

Adam K and Soha are one of the premiere remix artist teams out there. The list of hits they have disassembled and recreated is long. Some of my favorites include the oh so classic remixes of Kaskade’s “4AM”, and Benny Benassi’s “Come Fly Away”. These two seem to infuse a jazzy mellow vibe into the songs that is melodic but with enough punch to still groove to on the dance floor. Their latest and greatest remix is of the already classic “Loneliness” by Tomcraft. Check it out…
