DJ BLACKLOW | HOUSE IS A FEELING

It’s been a couple of months since my last podcast. I took this year off from doing a June pride edition to recover from a car break-in, during which my laptop and bunch of my music were stolen. It sucks that we live in a world where people feel the need to steal, but I justify it by telling myself that they must’ve needed my belongings more than I did. Hey, there’s a silver lining to everything, right?
However, I didn’t take June off from making new music. This high-energy mid-summer podcast contains my take on Carly Rae Jepsen’s summer 2017 jam – “Cut To The Feeling” – done in conjunction with my tireless production partner, George Figares.
You’ll also hear another new remix that’s very special to me — my take on an anthem called “Faces” by an incredibly talented NYC-based singer named Mila Jam. Her soaring vocals send a message about staying true to your authentic self. Look for the release soon on iTunes and other digital retailers. And a huge thank you to DJ Grind, DJ Wayne G, and DJ Maryalice for their support on “Faces”!
I’m honored to be part of the remix package for Dirty Pop’s new single — “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” — a remake from the soundtrack to the movie “Mannequin” 30 years ago, which is currently climbing the Billboard dance charts! The update by DrewG and Brian Cua features new vocals by Taylor Olson & Jackie Orlando. However, rather than using my own remix on this podcast, I’ve included the remix by Israeli DJ Guy Scheiman. You can hear a snippet of my remix over on my Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/djblacklow/dirty-pop-ft-taylor-olson-jackie-orlando-nothings-gonna-stop-us-now-dj-blacklow-preview
The podcast ends with my latest Lorde mashup — I tackled “Green Light” in my last podcast and this time around, it’s “Perfect Places.” I’m obsessed with the New Zealander's latest album. And of course, you’ll hear plenty of other amazing new tracks throughout — along with my trademark presentation of new remixes of older tracks you know and love. Also, look out for a new deep house podcast in the next couple of weeks.
