VOCAL DANCE EXPERIENCE

I CAN'T HOLD BACK! (dj Tim a's Club Mix)

dj Tim a — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:04:23 GMT

Ahhhhhhhh...yes. The 80's was replete with, what's the cliche, 'One Hit Wonders'. But there were many artists you might think were one hit wonders - and I oftentimes hear friends and co-workers referring to the Rocky anthem 'Eye of The Tiger' as falling into this category. That of course is not the case. The rock band SURVIVOR had a string of hits in the mid 80's, including "Burning Heart", "The Search Is Over", "High On You", and of course the track here, which I have given a signature update. Hope you enjoy! Love, peace and music...always! ...dj Tim a

ReVoLvEr (dj Tim a's Extended Club Rework Mix)

dj Tim a — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 21:04:37 GMT

ATTENTION LISTENERS AND SUBSCRIBERS - This mix was re-upped on October 3 after I did some additional audio edits. ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY LOVING THIS SONG!!! Makes "4 Minutes" seem almost shameful and once again reminds us how fun music from madge can be. I definitely smell another Top 10 or even just maybe a number 1 hit here. We shall see. In the meantime, I am unwilling to wait for any official remixes to spin, so I put something together a bit more up tempo and a bit more thumping. Hope you enjoy this as well... ...luv...peace...music...and maDonna, always... ...dj Tim a

I Won't Back Down (dj Tim a's Dirty 80's Mix)

dj Tim a — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:33:46 GMT

Personally I love acoustic music. Cheryl Crow, Fleetwood Mac, and many others. In 1989, Tom Petty released his first official solo record, 'Full Moon Fever'. I loved it! Though my favorite track was the modest rock hit "Running Down A Dream", I always loved the lead single and top 40 hit "I Won't Back Down". The biggest hit off that album, was the rock anthem "Free Fallin'". Prophetically, I heard this song while shopping at Border's the other day. Petty does still manage to get a lot of radio play in the US on Adult Contemporary formats. I thought it would be fun to play with so, here it is kicked up a notch. If you check out some Petty music, also try the album 'Wildflowers'. EXCELLENT acoustic work. luv, peace and music...always... ...dj Tim a

Let's Dance (dj Tim a Dirty 80's Mix)

dj Tim a — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:47:22 GMT

A David Bowie classic - I beleive his best selling single, which has already been remixed a thousand times or so. However, this was by request for a listener in France, who wanted it remixxed as true to the original as possible with as little electronica as possible. Enjoy! luv, peace and music...always! ...dj Tim a

Dj Tim A's Fall Mix 2009

dj Tim a — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 22:23:12 GMT

!!!!ATTENTION - THIS POSTING WAS EDITED 8/31/09!!!! SOMEHOW, a non-HQ version ended up being loaded. My apologies to those of you who already downloaded... Well.......summer lovers........WHAT SUMMER! Please do not get too upset even though I am already releasing my Fall set. We had summer here in Chicago for about 2 weeks or so. Usually we are sweatin' our *sses off through September but it feels more like March or October outside!! YUCK! So, I guess I'll try to stay ahead of the curve with the weather. I've got another set here with newbies and veterans. I know everyone is probably over Michael Jackson, but I found this mix of Billy Jean and I am really liking the way it was put together; simple but sharp. Also, I do not usually do a lot of rap, but this new Pitbull track is infectious after the second or so listen. And for those of you that have not checked it out yet, the new Cascada album is fantastic! I am optimistic we will be listening to several of the tracks from 'Evacuate The Dance Floor' over the next few seasons. The latest track released from this set, "Dangerous", is not one of my favorite tracks on the album, but it has some great remixes and I am LUVING it now (which is why I opened with it). There is a little bit more progressive and housey dance then I usually mix, but as always its fun and fresh. The new Sugababes and Ida Corr tracks are thumpin'! And David Guetta scores yet another triumph with Julie McKnight and "How Soon Is Now". It will raze the club! Stay tuned for more... peace, love, music and of course, dancing... ...dj Tim a

dj Tim A's MyPod Mix Vol. 7

dj Tim a — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:38:11 GMT

....DIVAS OF SUMMER 2009.... Pop charts a little bland this summer? That is exactly how I feel, and there is no end in sight to the drought. But dance radio has plenty of hooks with new artists and veterans keeping the clubs bouncing. I mixed a little bit of both in this set with plenty of hooks and plenty of divas. Just short enough to fit on a CD, long enough to finish a pitcher of Jim Weed Sweet Tea Lemonade, and at 131 BPM it will shake your floor. DARE I say the next seasonal mix, FALL '09 (shhhhh!) is around the corner. I am opening this mix up for requests, so if you hear any buzz or are looking for something new, my only pre-requisites are keep it fresh and keep it vocal! More 80's remixes will be coming soon, too. luv, peace and music...always... dj Tim a

FINALLY!!! The weather is breaking here in the mid-west. At least when it is not raining, we have got some rays and heat to enjoy. At least the rain keeps it green, though, right.

Excellent, mind throbbing dance music is just shooting out from everywhere this year, and there will be more to come. I am in love with the Enrique and Kat de Luna tracks.

I WANNA ROCK & ROLL ALL NIGHT (dj Tim a's Cascaded Mix)

dj Tim a — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:03:34 GMT

KNOCKING OUT ANOTHER REQUEST - This was promised to Dj Aga from Boston. The place to be in Boston is MAYHEM on Saturday Nights at Club Cafe. If you make it there, send Aga some love from Chicago!! Kiss, one of the biggest concert acts of the 80's and 90's still sells out arenas throughout North America. I personally did not follow much of their music, however, this song is one of the most iconic metal anthems of the early 80's. Enjoy! ...dj Tim a
