Beat Box
\nSummer\u2019s Hottest Dance Beats <\/strong><\/p>\n

By Jimmy Newsum<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who remembers Will Smith, when he was one half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, singing about summer, summer, summertime? If you\u2019re among the boys shaking up dance floors today, you probably do not. The point is, even nineties kids knew the importance of summer grooves, when we\u2019re all needing \u201cjust a little somethin’ to break the monotony, of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be<\/em>\u201d. This isn\u2019t the time for hard beats to get libidos pumping. Summer’s a natural aphrodisiac. Here are the top records that are a little bit lighter but still tearing up clubs right now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSassy Summer Sounds\u201d
\nTeam Heartbreak
\n<\/strong>Dance punk duo Caleb and Brian Raux, better known as Team HeartBreak, present six filthy tracks that will make fans wanna shake their asses. The album\u2019s first single, “Do it Like Miley”, pays homage to the wrecking ball songstress. Other album highlights are “U dope”, a song with notes so high it sounds like dolphins mating; “So good”, a track that started from a bunch of chopped up a cappella sounds that the boys whipped up into a song in the studio; and “Boys Just Wanna Have Fun”. A seriously fun record with booming beats, clever lyrics and catchy melodies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI Surrender\u201d
\nAlicia Madison and <\/strong>Denny Berland<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>After the success of their 2013 collaboration “Start It Over”, Alicia Madison and producer Denny Berland reunite on the smash of the summer. Where \u201cStart It Over\u201d was a fun pop record to jam to,\u00a0\u201cI Surrender\u201d is about an abusive relationship. A heavy topic for summer, but Madison\u2019s tender, ethereal approach to the record is lifting partiers high above the glorious clouds, right where they want to be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou Are My Family\u201d
\nJoe Gauthreaux featuring Inaya Day<\/strong>
\nJoe Gauthreaux latest production celebrates the tightest of friendships and features effusive vocals by the incomparable diva of dance, Inaya Day. It’s a dance record, for sure, but it also has elements of pop, EDM, and gospel house. Musical genres literally change throughout the track with a really good breakdown payoff in the end. Joe threw out all of his conventional ways of producing dance music on \u201cYou Are My Family\u201d and the fruit he yields is ripe and delicious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Remixes, The Revisit, and The Unreleased\u201d<\/strong>
\nBilly Winn<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Billy Winn releases his first collection of dance anthems! The album is rollicking fun, a perfect mix of electro, dance and urban pop, with never before released mixes of \u201cFuture X Boyfriend\u201d and \u201cCruel Intentions\u201d, as well as a brand new party track for summer, \u201cGlow In The Dark\u201d. The song – about a hopping night out at the club \u2013 stands out as the epitome of Winn\u2019s sound and could be the song of the summer, because after all, what better way to spend a hot summer night than on a dance floor?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStar\u201d
\nRicky Rebel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rebel first burst on the music scene in the late nineties as the lead vocalist of the boy-band No Authority. The group toured with 98 Degrees, Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears, scored a hit with \u201cCan I Get Your Number\u201d, then abruptly split up. At long last, Ricky is back, now as a colorful glam rocker, with his first dance single, \u201cStar\u201d. The record proves Ricky is still one. The song pulses, throbs and thumps in all the right places. Hector Fonseca\u2019s remix is particularly hard pounding and sexy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAll Around The World\u201d
\nGuy Scheiman
\n<\/strong>Twenty five years after it became Lisa Stanfield\u2019s biggest hit, uber stud producer Guy Scheiman is releasing his interpretations of \u201cAll Around The World\u201d for today\u2019s dance floor. Scheiman re-styles the R&B classic with a sexy progressive house vibe, featuring the vocal mastery of dance newcomer Michal S. He hits it home with all three of his new versions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cExtra Good\u201d
\nBig Dipper
\n<\/strong>The gay bear rapper\u2019s sound is as big as his look in his wildly fun EP featuring five super dope songs. \u201cRidiklus\u201d is a club banger aimed at getting partiers hyped for a night of ass clapping and grinding. \u201cGood At Sex\u201d is an empowerment track that promotes body confidence. \u201cWish You Would\u201d is a hard-hitting groove about feeling smitten over someone new. \u201cCute2Me\u201d is a raunchy yet campy crowd-pleaser. Then there\u2019s \u201cVibin’\u201d, the album\u2019s first single, with its beach-y party vibe that makes it the absolute perfect summer song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
