Cazwell “Ice Cream Truck” (DJ Zax vs. Inner Party System Remix)
Cazwell’s latest music video is capturing the attention of gays everywhere with its suggestive lyrics, naughty dance moves and smokin’ hot boys. Download my new mix of the song and if you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check out the video. Warning: You might need a cold shower afterwards.

Lady Gaga “Monster” (DJ Zax Monster Love Mix)
Just in time for the weekend, I’ve given one of my favorite Gaga songs the summertime dance mix treatment. I borrowed the music for this mashup from Victor Ark’s fantastic remix of the Spanish house track I Love Fata.

Mary J. Blige “I Am” (DJ Zax vs. Nick* Old School Dance Mix)
It’s uncanny how well Mary J. Blige’s new single, “I Am,” matches the instrumentation of Rihanna’s “Disturbia.” That said, the Rihanna hit is a bit played out, so I layered Mary’s vocal on top of Nick*s fantastic “Disturbia (Old School Instrumental Remix).” The beat is reminiscent of “Show Me Love” by Robin S, and a throwback to the classic 90s house sound.
You can find out more about Nick* and download his remixes here.

Lily Allen “Not Fair” (Matt-N-Zax Mix)
Back in June, my friend, DJ Matt Bailer and I collaborated on this mashup of Lily Allen’s song “Not Fair” and a dub by Swiss DJ Dario D’Attis, while incorporating bits and pieces of the original track provided in stems by Lily’s record label. It took awhile for us to come to an agreement on the final version, but here it is and I think it was worth the wait and effort.

BOC Friday Night DJ Set – 5/29/09
In case you missed it or want to re-live the night, here is a two hour podcast from my set at BOC last night, recorded from 11 PM – 1 AM. It’s a mix of Electro, House and Hip-Pop beats.
Stream the audio here, download to your computer, or load it up on your iPod to take to take my beats out and about with you.
Alanis Morissette – You Oughta Know 2009 (DJ ZAX vs. Wideboys Club Mix)
Jagged Little Pill got me through my angstful teenage years, and I remain a devoted Alanis Morissette fan to this day. It is rare for an Alanis acapella to see the light of day, so imagine my surprise when the vocals from “You Oughta Know” surfaced nearly 15 years after the song was released. This is my tribute to a song and an artist whose music is so important to me.

Keri Hilson – Turnin’ Me On (DJ ZAX vs. Mark Pichiotti Club Mix)
I have long wanted a dance mix of Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ Me On,” so when I received the acapella I decided to make this mashup using a Mark Pichiotti instrumental. The resulting mix reminds me of Maurice Joshua’s signature style.

Rihanna – Breakin’ Dishes (DJ ZAX vs. Spencer & Hill Electro Club Mix)
I am glad Rihanna’s label has finally decided to promote this single. It is only too bad that it was because Chris Brown beat her up. I am also happy she sings, “I’m kickin’ asses” in the acapella that was released (unlike on the censored album version). Is “ass” really that bad of a word?
I restructured Spencer & Hill’s dub of “Flat” and added Rihanna’s vocal with a healthy dose of reverb and other effects. The result is a peak hour electro club banger. I’m also including a clean radio edit, in which she doesn’t say she’s “kickin’ asses.”

“When Doves Cry” Electro Remix
Prince vs. Otto Von Schirach
Otto Von Schirach did a dirty electro cover of Prince’s “When Doves Cry” called “Sliced Doves On Codeine.” Otto’s mix is cool but his vocals on the track are a little too scary for me, so I mashed up Otto’s beat and Prince’s original version into this.
