If anyone fancies hearing me live in the mix then I’ll be filling in for my main man DJ Dyslexic on Sunday 21st June 2006 at 7 pm PST (which is 3 am BST on Monday 22nd June 2006). Dyslexic is away on holiday so I’ll be doing a 2 hour mix for his “Cure for the common Sunday” show on XTC Radio and hopefully doing him proud. Tune in via the website to hear the show live or subscribe to Dyslexic’s podcast feed. Enjoy!

Well it’s not quite the Coolcuts or DMC Buzz chart number 1 but it’s a start. My mix of “Man Eater” has made it to number one in the Vibe FM Dancefloor Five chart. Awesome!

You chose the following tunes as last weeks DANCEFLOOR FIVE…

5. Oakenfold - Faster Kill Pussycat
4. Christina Milian - Say I (Maurice Club Mix)
3. Armand van Helden - My My My (Stonebridge Mix)
2. Infernal - From Paris To Berlin (Hoxton Whores Mix)
1. Nelly Furtado - Maneater (DJ Cruze Mix)

Let’s see if my mix can make it to number one for two weeks in a row! Big thanks to Manhattan from the Rootz Records forums for his promotional skills.

A big thanks to everyone that has been downloading my remix of Nelly Furtado’s “Man Eater”. It seems that lots of people are loving the mix. I’ve had over 5000 downloads of the remix so I’m obviously doing something right. It has even been played on a radio station here in the UK. It appears that someone has sent a copy to the Cambridge radio station Vibe FM and they have put it on their Mix Monkey show! It doesn’t say “DJ Cruze Funkfinders Mix” but I have it on good authority that it’s the version that they’re playing. So thanks to them for that! If anyone else out there is playing the tune or has heard it played on a radio station then let me know about it. If you’re a DJ and you’re playing the tune in a club then get in touch and tell me the reaction.

If anyone hasn’t downloaded it yet then you’ll find it here.

Hot track alert!

You know I love funky house but sometimes there’s a tune that comes out that rocks your world and just stays in your head all day. This is that track. I’ve just put it on my previous podcast and I can’t stop listening to it over and over again.

The track, “Golden Sun”, is absolutely amazing and it’s by a hot Danish producer called Asle Bjorn. He has been producing for many years now, releasing tunes on his own Blowout Records label and also Positiva, Oven Ready, Tommyboy, Whoop, Yoshitoshi and Big Star. His releases tend to be of the pumping variety with a few tribal and tech-house sounds thrown in for good measure. On his original mix of “Golden Sun” we find it starting with a deep and dark bassline before breaking down to the gorgeous female vocals. Then the latin piano riff starts and it’s like watching a golden sun rise from the horizon. But the awesome remix by Seamus Haji and Paul Emanuel, which is the version I prefer, adds tougher drums and funky 80s styled bassline along with some warm pads to help the tune along. Thankfully it still has that nagging piano riff which I can’t get it out of my head! I can’t wait to hear this tune while walking along a lovely sandy beach at sunset, preferably with a cold beer in my hand.

You can pick a 12″ up here or an digital download here. Go and buy it now!

I’ve had so much good feedback about this tune that I’m going to just have to let it loose to the public. It’s finally finished and mastered and, even though I do say so myself, it is sounding awesome! I played this mix out at the Loft Club in Germany at the weekend and it went down really well. People keep asking for it so you can download a nice 192 kbps by clicking on the link above.

Just right click on the link and do “save target as” or “save link as” to save it to your PC. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think using the contact form. Share it with your friends too and spread the DJ Cruze funky house vibe!

I’d like to give big love to Bluethumb and all of the guys and girls on the Nelly Furtado official forums. He found my remix in my podcast and posted a link up to the site. They love the remix so that’s made me happy! If the Nelly Furtado fans like it then I must be doing something right. Thanks for all of their support and I hope I’ve done her justice.
