Dj Tanner Remix 1.9

Here is something classic from the vaults for you guys today. This is a mash-up Tanner did a couple of years ago of the electro banger "Banger" by A.C. Slater and "Pop Lock and Drop It" by Huey. Although both jams are a little dated now no one knows either of them like this.

Dj Tanner Remix 1.8

Brand new Dj Tanner remix of the Drake tune "Forever" available now for your listening pleasure. This one is an up-tempo version of the song that makes it a little more dancefloor friendly. Also Tanner cut out the Kanye verse cause its just not doing it for him (and us) like the other verses. Big up to Eminem for the craziest flow ever!!

Janet - Rock Wit U (Arems Bmore Remix)

When Janet's last album Discipline came out I thought it wasn't bad but this track really stood out to me. I thought it would be a big tune for sure. I think if it would have come out in these days and times it would have been huge and probably remixed to death. Recently the homie Big Jacks mentioned Rock Wit U on Twitter as being a dope song and the responses to that comment were many. Everyone agreed. Anyways, back when it came out i threw some Bmore drums on it to make it hit a little harder. There's no big break downs or anything, it's pretty simple. After about the 2:30 mark i pretty much left it alone...no more change ups. If you're like me you'll have mixed out by then anyways.

Trey Songz Need a Rasklatt Remix

This track was kinda slept on as are most Trey Songz tracks but I think it got pretty big in parts of the states. Super dope end of the night jam that definitely deserved the Rasklatt treatment. Two versions, one on the Unmetered Taxi Riddim and one on the Johnny Too Bad Riddim. The accapella is a DIY so the vocals aren't as rich as they should be but they still sound prime. The Too Bad version has a little static on it from the original recording off the record but it kinda adds to it. Hope you enjoy em and as always, feel free to pass em around.

Rasklatt Remix - Jada Kiss & Anthony B - Warr's Layin Em Down

Posting up this one by special request. It came out on the last podcast we did - Faction Sound Crew Radio Episode 6. It's not really a club jam but definitely a banger. Anthony B suits the track to a T and Jada always murders it. Bump this one in your riz.

Baby By Mi Ting - Fiddy and Neo Rasklatt Arems Remix

So it's been a while since Dj Arems released one of these but this one is fresh out the Fiyah. We are not a big fan of the new Fiddy song "Baby Bi Me" but it's a lot more playable on the new Ting A Ling Riddim plus Neo always sounds good. There are two versions of this here. The first one is the entire Baby Bi Me track remixed and the other has way less Fiddy on it and more New Kingston Band. Grab Em! (Spelling wrong to duck internet Babylon.)

4Eva Edit ft Kardy, Drayk, Etc - Re-Post

So I posted this a while back but it got taken down quick by internet babylon. Just incase you didn't get it the first time...this is an edit did with the original Kardy song that came out over a year ago on the same beat. His verse goes first then everybody else on the more recent version. These guys have beef, blah blah blah...it's a dope song. Grab it! (Bad spelling to fool babylon.)
