1. Pitbull - International Love - Jump Smokers Remix
One of our favorite remixes! Lots of funk, spots to scratch, and people can sing it!

2. Nicki Romero - Toulouse
Club Banger!!! Late Night Smash!


1. Chuckie - Who Is Ready To Jump - Dillon Francis Remix
The original is a big club record anywhere in the country - if you're looking for that surprise "sprinkle" of dubstep, this is the one to hit them with.

2. J. Casablanca & Dave Fogg - Till Now
I fell in love with this "feel good" house record at first listen. Whether its the peak hour in a big room in Vegas, or last call at the local bar, can't help but enjoy this soulful hit.

3. Chris Brown - Turn Up The Music - MikiWAR Toulouse Bootleg
Shameless plug I guess. Ha! The melodies are identical on both songs, coincidence? Probably not. Both songs are great alone, yet together it's a different monster.

1. Tommy Trash - Monkey See Monkey Do
The build up of this track is like no other. It's a sound people will know right away. Tommy has created a unique sound/build up that I appreciate. When the track hits all hell breaks loose.

2. Young Jeezy - I Do
This is a feel good track. It's a celebration. Any time 3 Stacks is on a track you can't help but listen. The beat is so fitting for him. Reminds me of "The Art Of Story Telling Part 2."

3. Ludacris - Do Sumthin' Strange
I couldn't help but laugh as soon as I heard the intro. Ludacris is one of the best at painting a ghetto mental picture. This track is only suitable for strip clubs, your car, and your room. Use accordingly.

1. Bart B More & Tai - Nobody Canna Cross It (Di Bus Can Swim)
Bart's been dropping huge tracks for the past few years. This one caught me by surprise though - just listen to that drop!

2. Roscoe Dash - Sidity
The drop and siren before the first verse make the beat kick even harder - I'm not sure how they made this track super hood and super R&B but it works!

3. Kaskade - Room For Happiness - Mysto & Pizzi Remix
The vocal build is great and the drop is harsh, in a good way - it has a Tommy Trash feel for the harder electro crowds.

1. Redlight - Get Out Of My Head
Redlight's been killing it within the UK bass scene over the past couple years so it's great to see this banger reach the top 20 in the UK charts. Gotta love the old school piano stabs.

2. D'Banj - Oliver Twist
If you want proof that Afrobeat has taken the clubs by storm, then look no further. This has smashed up every dance I've played at over the past month.

3. Rick Ross - Stay Schemin'
Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of Drake, this joint goes hard, son!

1. French Montana - Shot Caller Remix
This is the definition of a hip hop track. I spin this song after "It's All About The Benjamins" party break because both songs are clearly sampled music.

2. Meek Mill - House Party
I play this song AT LEAST once at every club. Meek Mill is very popular among Japanese nowadays. People still go crazy to "I'm A Boss" here.

3. Nicky Romero - Camorra
I like the way the beats build up towards the climax. Also, the silence after the climax is beautiful. Crowds have reacted well every time I've played it. Personally, I love it.
