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.

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.”
