Meatballs, Massages and Kyaal

Ciara - Promise (Kyaal remix)
Beyonce - Irreplaceable (Kyaal remix)

Sweden comes correct again, trying to absolve for giving us shitty Ikea furniture. If you thought Ciara was doing her best impression on her version of "Promise," you're wrong. She does it here, over Kyaal's dance rock monster.

And I am a sucker for good reggae remixes. Especially of guilty-pleasure, catchy-ass Beyonce tracks. To the left, to the left...

On Trak

Little Brother - Step Off (A-Trak prod.)
Kid Sister - Damn Girl (A-Trak prod.)

Two very disparate tracks. One very Canadian DJ-producer. DJ A-Trak has come a long way from being the 13 year old DMC champ to an honorary member of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz to spinning records on tour for Kanye West on "SNL" to making mash-up remixes with the likes of the Rub.

However, in each case, he definitely joined up with the ranks of each interest after it had become a burgeoning popular movement. A-Trak has a knack for being *gasp* trendy. He's got skills, but also knows how to connect with the right people at the right time...

The Little Brother beat, if not noted that it was produced by A-Trak, most would not assume such a fact. The Kid Sister track, though, is more of a ... insider-DJ type track. The kind of stuff you'd hear in one of those trendy NYC clubs that try to stay one step ahead of the game.
