No complaints this week, I've found some SERIOUSLY hot tracks for you.  Mean it.  You're gonna get some deep house, pop dance, tripped out jump smokers, fist pumping, french robots, funk influenced dance... Do what I say and....

DOWNLOAD ALL TRACKS HERE

Quentin_Mosimann_-_I_Drum_U_Original_Mix  This one is HARD HOUSE, wanted to set the stage... PopMuse is not playing with this collection kids.

Justin "Suit & Tie" (Jump Smokers Club Mix Dirty) Irresistible.  I'll never love these lyrics, it's not gonna happen, but I LOVE this mix.  Good for Jump Smokers to try something different during the verses.

Taylor Swift "22" (Happy HotDog Radio Edit) Acquired taste for sure, but I know a few of you will jam to this all summer - so here you go.

DJ Pauly D (feat Jay Sean) Back to Love (Jump Smokers Extended Mix)  Oh my, Paulie D?!?  Listen without prejudice, okay?  It's kinda flawless, and the male vocal (not his) I love!

Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines" (Justin Sane Bootleg)  The little Michael Jackson scream KILLS ME!!!  Seriously... listen without prejudice here too, this is MAJOR FUNK HOUSE!

Pitbull (feat Christina Aguilera) Feel This Moment (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)  I WILL NOT GIVE UP PITBULL OR CHRISTINA!!!!  It's like the Jello Shots at the pool party, you know you don't want one, but the host worked so hard on them, so you eat one, even though you know you're too cool and too grown... but the effect is useful, takes you out of your too cool and too grown head...  what, just me?

Daft Punk "Get Lucky" (ESQUIRE Extended Mix)  DP Should win an award for best marketing and promotion of all time!!! I don't remember this band having this kinda love on their last one??? I get it, it's hot, Nile Rodgers deserves all of your love.  This mix is predictable, but good!

Demi Lovato "Heart Attack" (The Alias Radio Edit) A little too dark, but I like this song so why not share, gets better as it goes.

Misha B. "Here's To Everything" (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit) I don't know anything about this artist, but I love this track. oh la la la.  If you've been missing Bimbo Jones this is gonna be your jam!

Taylor Swift "I Knew You Were Trouble" (Cosmic Dawn Club Mix)  This is like the grocery store 7 layer dip at the pool party you say no to unless you need something to soak up the alcohol. WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT????????????????????????  Slash, I absolutely love this (when in the right frame of mind).

Jason Dottley "It's Our Night" (7th Heaven Club Mix)  Fine, fabulous, whatever, the kind of track a publicist would beg me to post on PopMuse, but in this case I will, its cute enough. 

Sam Smith "Lay Me Down" (TE Dub Mix) The guy from that hot DISCLOSURE track.  So soulful for a white boy.  This is deep R&B house - love x 1000.  Prance track.

Rihanna "Stay" (James Rendon Remix) Woah.  Cinematic dance remix.  Next level.

Sophi "This Is Our Love" (Cahill Radio Edit)  I love Cahill mixes. 

Alison Moyet "When I Was Your Girl" (Manhattan Clique Radio Edit)  No one else on earth sings like Alison Moyet.  A true treasure.  Manhattan Clique did a nice job remixing it too, anthemic end of night track.

Ready to dance? Drive? Run? Gym? Tweak? Twerk?

I was a lil UNinspired to do a boom boom blog post recently, and as you longtime readers know, i need to FEEEEEL the tracks before I post them.... and with only a handful of new tracks I was loving, instead of going on the long pilgrimage to find other new ones (and delaying this post even LONGER) I looked deep into the boom boom archives and found some gems that deserved dusting off. And viola, here we are.

So this is a fierce mix of NEW and OLD.  Don't give me 'tude about it, download them like daddy says and you'll see, I don't steer you wrong.  YOU'RE WELCOME.

DOWNLOAD THE TRACKS

Ola - All Over The World (Cahill Radio Edit)  Male vocal, done.  Do I need to know who Ola is?  No really you tell me - I'm just tripping on this epic pre-chorus.  There is a early 80s rock feel in there isn't there?

Tomcraft Loneliness 2009 (Starmix Remix) MFinCLASSIC!!!!  '09 - pre-dubstep hard was so much FUN!

One Direction - Live While Young (Jump Smokers) Ya know its boy band nonsense, oy these lyrics are crap, BUUUUUUUUUT, heard it on a dancefloor in Texas with big lights, big dry ice, really big tequila shots and it was like EVERYTHING to me.

Avicii Vs Nicky Romero I_Could_Be_The_One_(Original_Mix) This is in those Vevo commercials right?  Who cares, it is an absolute masterpiece.  A dance song that absolutely levels all others, I dont care if you've heard it, hear it again with fresh ears, concentrate on it, GO THERE!

Freemasons Bring It Back  You know you can rely on the Freemasons.  Have they won grammys?  Someone give them a trophy.

Bieber Beauty And A Beat (Bisbetic Radio Edit) YES I"M STILL ON THIS TRACK!  Perfect pop - remixed to assault everthing you think you know, shatter your expectations, it gets mean like a german after hours club, and why shouldnt it?!?

Manuel De La Mare, Luca Monticelli "B2B" I dont know this came to me but I love it!  If you ever want to get me on the dancefloor play this part at 2:00 in and I'll dance, I'm not strong enough to resist a groove like that.

Alexis Jordan Acid Rain (Corey Craig Edit) I'm not going to say a thing.  Just experience it.

Bob Sinclar I Feel For You (Ben Delay Club Mix)  This is the one that made me decide to do this post.  Chorus soufulness.

The Good Natured 5-HT (Kat Krazy Extended Mix)  My new obsession Kat Krazy killing me everytime I hear it.  Finally someone is doing that hippy chick female vocal reeeeeemixed.

Alexis Jordan Happiness (Wideboys Club Mix)  There are times when I think this could be my favorite dance song ever.  Mainly when I'm in an airplane bathroom.  What? Yup.

Rihanna "Rockstar 101" (Dave Audé Club Mix) Its probably not the one you go back to when you listen to Rihanna remixes, but you will now.  This Aude doing something really HIM and really special.

Mariah "I Stay In Love" (Jody den Broeder)  As loud as music can be played on whatever system you are on you should play this THAT LOUD.  Jody - the genius!

Hieee guys!  Here the thing, I never want to post music to this site that doesn't move me and I've been frustrated with boom boom recently.  I'm tiring the Jump Smokers Dubstep influenced remixes everyone is doing,

I'm longing for some SOUL to return to dance music.  CAN I GET AN AMEN? 

Anyway, it's time to put my negativity aside and share some tunes I've found THAT I DO LOVE so you kids can DANCE!

DOWNLOAD ALL OR SELECT TRACKS HERE

Mat_Zo_&_Porter_Robinson_-_Easy_[Extended_Mix]  This one starts to STRONG, love the sample.  It's hard, big room, confetti canon EDM stuff.

Pitbull & Christina - Feel This Moment (Jump Smokers Extended Mix) I actually LOVE the Christina chorus.

Chaka Khan - It's Not Over (Papercha$er Radio Edit)  OMG!!!!!  CHAKA KHAN like you havent heard her in years!!!  Love this chorus soooooo much!

Kylie Minogue - Breathe (Mirror Ball Remix) 2013  Classsic tune redone by brillz Mirror Ball.  This is a minimalist remix.  Cool grooves.

JT Suit & Tie_(SD Master) - By Jesse Ware's producer - right?  So super chic!  This is exactly the 90s house flavor I'm craving.  I'm still struggling to take these lyrics seriously, but I love the remixers take - more organ in dance music!!!!

Rihanna Diamonds (JRMX Radio Edit) Add to the collection.

Nicole Scherzinger - Boomerang (Cahill Edit) Sure why not. Put the pride aside and do another Pussycat Dolls CD - it worked better.

Pink Try (Peter Rauhofer Anthem Mix) Why cant anyone get this remix right?  The vocal seems so easy to mix up, maybe I'm missing something. But worth a listen, it's Rauhofer.

Rihanna Stay (Shahaf Moran Remix) Love the original soooo much.  Its a little surprising this mix is so upbeat, lyrics are so dark, but its an intereting way to listen to it.

Alex Gaudino (feat Jordin Sparks) Is This Love (Radio Edit) Just sweet.  Nothing deep, just circuit boy fun.

Depeche Mode HEAVEN (Freemason Remix)  Well hello there!  I always love when Depeche give in to their gay side, it suits them best, always has.

Janet THROB PETER RAUHOFER 2013 REMIX - this reads a lot more excititng than it is.  There isnt actually much THROB on it, but it's a must have for Janet fans.

Olly Murs Trouble Maker (Cutmore Remix) I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

Rihanna & Belanger MIDNIGHT DIAMOND (RADIO EDIT) -- MY FAVORITE MIX OF DIAMONDS!!!  M83 vs Rihanna - perfection.

J. Lo Goin' In (Gustavo Scorpio Club Mix) I sing this chorus subconsiously all the time.  I love it. I feel like before I do anything I want to sing, "I'm goin innnnnnnnnn, I'm goin innnnnnn."

Boom Boom Time LADIES!!!  Same thing as last time, all the links go to one page where you can d'load all the tracks.  Some of these you might not have heard - trust me they are hot hot hot, give a spin, you might be happy you did!

The Good Natured 5-HT (Kat Krazy Extended Mix)  Gains steam as it goes on, hardcore banger.  Start of a theme throughout this collection it's Kat Krazy!!!

Porno "Music Power" Taking you back to mid 00s here. Live for this vocal. Who sang on this one again? -she had pipes!

Tegan & Sara Closer (Morgan Page Remix)  EDM-ish remix, too little vocal, but worth a listen - gym track if there ever was one. So love my Tegan and Sara.

Tara Berwin Cuz I'm In Love (Buzz Junkies Extended Mix) Super fun pop remix - silly dance, cute cute cute.

Rihanna Diamonds (Peter Rauhofer Beautiful Anthem)   Woah, big room at it's best. Circuit parties must explode when the DJ drops this one. Epic.

Laid Back Fly Away (Poolside Edit) Chill Afternnon House FTW. So melloooo - loveliness.  Is that Roxy Music or David Byrne in there? Heaven.

Lawson Learn To Love Again (Cutmore Radio Edit)  Male emo vocal - you know how I get.

Coldplay & Rihanna Princess of China (Kat Krazy Remix)  I'm Kat Krazy crazy.  Cray x10. My fav mix of this track by far.

Rasmus Faber & Syke'n'Sugarstarr - We Go Oh (John_Dahlback_Remix)  I dunno, heard it on Gaydio and loved, it's not the usual PopMuse fair.  EDM techno stylee.

Daley Remember Me (MJ Cole Vocal Remix)  Lounge. Not a floorfilla, but I love this, MJ Cole and Daley together - delicious!  And of course the "remember me" sample is perfection.

Rich B feat. Marcella Puppini - Revolution (Dig It Club Mix)  What is this Ibiza Gay Pride?  Don't even need the vocal, it's all about the instrumental.

will.i.am and Britney Scream & Shout (Chris Cox Remix) Where has Chris Cox been???  Welcome back kid.

Niki + The Dove Tomorrow (Kat Krazy Extended Remix)  I'm less into this kind of rock vocal on a dance track as I once was, but it has fun moments.

Olly Murs Trouble Maker (Cutmore Remix)  Jazzy vocal on Cutmore signature sound, with a power chorus - love!

Little Mix Wings (The Alias Radio Edit)  LIVING for these squirrels! Fun euro find. The extended mix is on the d'load page too, love them both.

Anjulie You And I (Solidisco Remix)  Unreal way to end this, it's freestyle house power disco. Makes me want to bounce off walls in a good way.

Miguel "Do You..." I do.

 

I hope you've been listening to Miguel.  At first glance I thought he was ANOTHER Bruno Mars copycat with that look and his surprisingly confident sex vibe.  Then I heard this track which begins with the lyric "Do you like drugs? Well I do."  It's a cheap trick but it caught my attention. So it turns out he is more Maxwell meets Prince, than Bruno.

Then the closing lyirc of this track is probably the sexiest lyric from 2012 "I'ma do YOU like drugs tonight!"  Too hot to live.

Really wanted to get you kids one last Boom Boom Blog Compilation before the end of the year.  I hope these songs soundtrack your wild New Years Eves plans. We have some dance classics (IMO) in the mix down below too, what is a NYE without a look back, riiiiiiiight?!? 

****Yousendit changed their site, so now when you click a link you will see ALL 15 TRACKS on one page.  You can still pick and chose what you want, and dont want, just means you have to scan the page to pick your tracks.  I know how much you all hate change, but don't email me complaints, SORRY, not my doing, it's their crappy redesign.

Mariah Carey: Someday (Walton Remix)  via HARDCANDY MUSIC... a complex reswizzle of this classic accapella.

Alicia Keys Girl On Fire (Peter Rauhofer Is On Fire Remix) When Peter does a big room remix - you listen and love.

Carly Rae This Kiss (Jason Nevins Remix) Ahhh dont download this - its such pop trash that isn't even really remixed for clubs - but I cant stop listening to it! Argh!

Will and Britney "Scream & Shout" (Happy HotDog Radio Edit) Of course, the song of the moment. Britney's brit accent - too much - love.

Cherry Cherry Boom Boom One and Only (7th Heaven Club Mix) Hmmm, silly smiley top 40, regret including this already, but know some of you will love.

PINK Try (Cosmic Dawn Radio Edit) This seems to be the only remix, which is strange, becasue it's not great, but we should take what we can get with this fabulous vocal.  I want a Junior mix personally.

The Ready Set - Give Me Your Hand (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)  STOOPID FLUFF!  But has some epic moments.  And feels very NYE to me.

Beiber - Beauty And A Beat (Wideboys Radio Edit) Heard this out somewhere and lost it.  It's so everything 2012 remixes were, you kinda need it.

Kelly Clarkson "Catch My Breath" (Lenny B Club Mix)  Please know that I love Lenny B, I grew up on him and will forever have soft spot.  This is flawless Lenny B work.  Kelly Clarkson on the other hand, oy, gurl, same same same.

Madonna vs. Xtina: Let There Be Girl Gone Wild (Brian Cua Mashup)  I'll never understand how Let There Be Love was never a single, it is a historic record company / mgmt screw up.  Profound in it's inexplicability.  So this is as close to remixes as we get?  Great move team.  UGH!

Jonas Rathsman Since I Don't Have You - classic deep house heaven vocal.  Go back to go forward hunty.

Sizequeen: I Am Ready - Peter Rauhofer Remix  Talk about Rauhofer being a girl on fire - there was nothing hotter than his Sizequeen mixes back in the day. "I am out the door!"

Danity Kane Damaged (Global Factory Mix)  I met miss Aubrey O'Day at the work Xmas party, and it reminded me to go hunt down this disco classic mix.  One of their best - I miss the Danity Kane  and I think she does too.

Dajae Brighter Days (Joyfull Family Remix) Vocal vocal vocal... classic house.  Feels like the way you should walk into a new year.

Dawn Tallman "Save A Place On The Dance Floor" This is how I like to close sets when they end at like 10am, not that that is even close to my life anymore, but I like to imagine it is for you readers and that makes me so so so happy. 

Happy New Year!

xoxo PopMuse

BEST SERIES OF 2012: The OUTS

 

I'm not gonna call it a Web Series, becasue it is so much more. 

It's better than anything I've seen on TV all year and I watch pretty much everything (not kidding). 

Better than any film I've seen, though that wasn't too hard, was there a good movie released this year? 

I was so moved by this series I wrote the writer/director a fan letter on facebook - A F*CKING FAN LETTER!

I was so touched by the story, the actors, the writing, the music that I donated money to their Kickstarter - I gave a good amount but seriously I dont think I gave enough for what I got in return.

I laughed, I creid, I got nostagic for my 20s, for first loves, for New York, for art, for following your dreams, and for LOTS OF OTHER THINGS.

The story structure, the way it all unfolds, the uncensored rawness is so unique, and so ONLY something that could happen online.

The culture that built around it, the fan made GIFs on Tumblr, the soundtrack, the merch - so 2012 in all the right ways.
