drop dead (ULTI-reMIX) - Olivia Rodrigo 130
The latest melancholy track from Rodrigo previews her upcoming “you seem so sad for a girl in love” full-length set. Brian infused energy for a more anthemic feel, and highlighted the lush string arrangement nicely.
Mr. Know It All (ULTI-reMIX) - Teddy Swims 126
Rich stepped out of his usual bass/breaks comfort zone to create a more Nu Disco/Tech Hse. vibe. Immediate add to open format sets. Looks to repeat success of earlier “Lose Control” (UM 321) and “The Door” (UM 327).
Bring Your Love (ULTI-reMIX) - Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter 128
After a promo tease “I Feel So Free”, Madonna drops the first official release from “Confessions II”. Beat Thrillerz took his production in a decidedly French Hse. direction. The result is a commercial, “Music Sounds Better With You-esque” vibe.
Free To Love - Duran Duran f. Nile Rodgers 118
The Double Ds bring honorary member, Nile Rodgers, on board for production duties and a co-write. Doc Roc kept the energy flowing strong. He did an overall beef-up for a nice add to any mainstream mixshow. Glad to have Doc Roc on the Ultimix side of the decks for once!
neck - Mau P 129
First introduced during Mau P’s Coachella performance, “neck” has become an evolving story among festival DJs. The track has recently hit a sweet spot among worldwide, dance tastemakers.
Human Nature (ULTI-reMIX) - Michael Jackson 120
As “Michael” continues to enjoy worldwide box office success, DeToto felt it was time for a full production take on this beloved track from “Thriller”. He added a new breakbeat production surrounded by modern basslines, plucks, guitars and synths. A nice variation for those wanting to switch gears from MJ’s other overplayed signatures.
Baby (ULTI-reMIX) - Justin Bieber 130
Biebs is also enjoying a resurgence of sorts, thanks to his recent much-ballyhooed Coachella set earlier this year. Many tracks from his earlier catalog, are now among top streams. Huda decided to deliver a “Baby” mix closer to the original production.
Insomnia (ULTI-reMIX) - Faithless 128
Bebe’s recent hit, “New Religion”, brought OG “Insomnia” back to the forefront of festivals. Volume stayed for the afterparty and breathed new life into the Faithless gem. He opted for a house/breaks hybrid production. He stayed with the old school synths but evoked a new emotion with updated drums and basslines.
Passion (ULTI-reMIX) - K5 128
The original KJ production appeared 30 years ago as an indie 12”. After much regional noise and play, it was wisely picked up for the U.S. market by Robbins Entertainment. To commemorate the anniversary of the release, a huge, 15 track remix package is expected next month. But, in the meantime, we’re treated to the first exclusive mix of the bunch. A DJ Volume breaks masterpiece!
25 Issues of Country - Various 75-136
All of the great country fare from the previous 25 Ultimix issues has been curated and meticulously arranged in our latest medley. Resident “medley master”, Mark Roberts, did his usual bang up job! From Blake to Postie...Dasha to Wallen…We’ve got your 20:00+ bathroom break all cued up!
