Email subscription update

It appears that the email subscription issue is resolved. Turns out the problem wasn't on FeedBurner's end but on some of the individual email services (like Gmail).

If you were a subscriber, thanks for sticking through that mess. I know some subscribers got double emails a day while others got none. Hopefully, though, the whole thing should now be in the rear view mirror.

And if you haven't subscribed yet, what are ya waiting for?!? An invitation? Actually, the invitation is sitting on the upper-right part of this blog...so now you have no excuses :-)

Front 242 - Work 242 (N.Off Is N.Off)

This is track 3 on Nonstop New Wave Mix #17.

Oddly, this N.Off Is N.Off version is actually shorter (5:10) than the regular version (6:39), both of which are from their album Never Stop. I guess the group had n.off. (I know, I know...roll your eyes)

1. Haddaway - What Is Love (Lunaris Mix)
2. Rachel Stevens - Some Girls (Europa XL Vocal Mix)
3. Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day (Abbott & Chambers Remix)
4. September - Cry For You (Spencer & Hill Remix)

Duderstadt feat Kirsty Hawkshaw - Beatitude (Store 'N Forward Remix)

This is track 5 on Nonstop Energy Mix #51.

Duderstadt is actually the force behind Fragma. They are also brothers, Dirk and Marco Duderstadt.

Kirsty Hawkshaw was the vocalist for Fragma's 2006 single Radio Waves when Fragma's signature vocalist Damae left. Hawkshaw has been lending her vocals for many other singles by various dance, trance, house, and eurodance artists since the 90s.

On this single, Hawkshaw teams with the brothers again.

Fragma - Deeper (Extended Mix)

This is track 4 on Nonstop Energy Mix #51.

Like Lara McAllen, who briefly left Angel City and then later returned, Damae had left Fragma but returned. This song, released late last year, features Damae behind the mic for Fragma once again.

Andy Hunter - Amazing (Original Mix)

This is track 8 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mix #17.

Andy Hunter has toured with some of the top names in trance, including legendary DJ Tiesto.

Many of his tracks lack vocals; this is one that does have vocals, which I personally prefer to instrumental trance.

Nonstop 80s Mix #7

Happy Friday! Here's a new 80s DJ mix, 30 happy minutes long.

2. Rick Astley - Together Forever (Lover's Leap Extended Mix)
3. Shannon - Let The Music Play (Hot Tracks Mix)

Sonic Praise - You Are Worthy Of My Praise

This is track 7 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mix #17.

In general, Sonic Praise is not quite the quality of Nitro Praise, but then again, recent stuff from Nitro Praise isn't quite the quality of early Nitro Praise either. This track, though, is a high-tempo dance track that is easily better than anything Nitro Praise 8 has.

Email subscriptions update

While FeedBurner is still fixing their broken email subscription delivery toy, I noticed that FeedBlitz is back up so I'm going to use FeedBlitz to deliver email updates to existing subscribers in the meantime.

If you'd like to subscribe and have not yet, FeedBurner still works in terms of signing you up properly. So go ahead and use the FeedBurner email subscription form on the right side of the blog; FeedBurner will record your subscription and I'll then add you to FeedBlitz.

Of course, when FeedBurner's email subscription delivery service is nursed back to health, I'll stop using FeedBlitz and resume using FeedBurner. This way, you'll always be in the loop with updates...but never from two sources at the same time.

Ah, technology...gotta love it...

Email subscriptions not working

FeedBurner is having problems with email delivery for those of you who have subscribed to updates via email. They are investigating the problem.

I was hoping to use FeedBlitz as a temporary email delivery system while FeedBurner is down, but it looks like FeedBlitz is also having some technical problems. So I'll just wait for FeedBurner to fix the problem.

I'll post again when FeedBurner has rectified the problem. In the meantime, I guess you'll have to get your updates on this blog the old-fashioned way: manually visiting here every business day! : )

P.S. I also noticed the RSS feed address was old. I just fixed that. So if you subscribed via RSS and weren't getting any updates, that's probably the reason. Just delete that feed and re-subscribe.

LP-T - Waiting (Michael Farrington's Sunrise Mix)

This is track 6 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mix #17.

LP-T's remixes have earned a place on trance legend Paul van Dyk's playlists. This trance remix is available on his album The Move, along with Michael Farrington's Original Mix, another good remix.

Plumb - In My Arms (Bimbo Jones Extended Mix)

This is track 4 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mix #17.

World-class remixer Bimbo Jones does an excellent job with his remix of this tune. As good as it is, though, I still like the Bronleewe & Bose remix of In My Arms better. That will have to wait for another DJ mix, though...

Not a Jennifer Lopez fan but Moto Blanco has the remix touch to make this version of this track a groovy tune.

Paris Hilton - Nothing In This World (Dave Aude Vocal Mix)

Erika Jayne - Stars (Moto Blanco Remix)

This is track 4 on Nonstop Energy Mix #50.

I really dig this track, but only this Moto Blanco remix. The other remixes of the song are bad, in my opinion...and not bad as in good. This also hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Celine Dion - Taking Chances (Ralphi Rosario & Craig J's Vocal Mix)

This song is only available as a single, as far as I know. I'm using the Puchetta & Philly Remix from this CD in Nonstop Energy Mix #53, which I'll post tomorrow for Happy Friday.

Kate Ryan - Voyage Voyage (Crew 7 Extended Mix)

This is track 7 on Nonstop Energy Mix #49 and track 1 on Nonstop Energy Mix #50.

It's a cover of the 80s song by Desireless and will be released on Kate's upcoming 2008 album. Another cover of this song by Papillon was part of New Wave vs Energy Mix #17, one of my older DJ mixes.

Groovestylerz - We Are Family (Steve N King So Hard Mix)

I think I'll start doing two posts a day for now (with the exception of Triple Feature Monday). I might do more or less in the future, depending on what side of the bed I get up on.

In any event, this is track 6 on Nonstop Energy Mix #49.

This is a dance cover of the 1979 Sister Sledge hit.

This is track 2 in Nonstop Energy Mix #49.

This is a cover of Rockwell's 1984 song. TobyMac also did a cover of this song, which was used in Nonstop Christian Dance Mix #6, to suggest that God is the "somebody" who's watching. This Beatfreakz version is a higher-energy dance cover.

Nonstop Energy Mix #52

It's Happy Friday with a new DJ mix... a 30-minute set of energy tracks.

This mix picks up where Nonstop Energy Mix #51 left off. It's a high-tempo dance mix where all tunes are 135 bpm or higher. Yep, that includes the Celine Dion track...who knew?

You'll also notice a Chinese dance track. I really dig it, even though I don't understand any of the Mandarin she's singing :) Gives the DJ mix a truly international flavor...lol

Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (Special K Mix)

This is track 7 on Nonstop New Wave Mix #16.

This remix of the song is fairly rare.

Kon Kan also released some new remixes last year. The best of the new ones is the "Dark Mix", but that's kinda like being the tallest midget because all the new mixes suck. I'd stick with the classic remixes, like this one.
