    Louie Vega does a great cover of the disco classic Thousand Finger Man by Candido. Love this very Latin inspired track as was the original by Candido. This track comes right off the Elements Of Life “Extensions’ CD which I highly recommend for a bunch of other awesome tracks by Louie Vega all remixed. Sexy Latin inspired house music. This Thousand Fingered Man and along with the Mon Amour (DJ Gregory Remix)are the winners on the release. Pretty darn cool.

  4. Rock Your Body by Shawn Lee & The Ping Pong Orchestra


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Justin Timberlake’s Rock Your Body is a fun disco inspired pop track and was a huge hit for him. But when Shawn Lee & The Ping Pong Orchestra remade it they changed the sound and made it mostly instrumental. It still sounds like Rock Your Body but now they’ve added a loungy, jazzy touch to it with a Latin inspired big band groove. You can still hear that the 70s sound is still there.

    What Shawn Lee & The Ping Pong Orchestra has done with all the tracks on Hits The Hits is taken all popular tracks by pop artists and made it all something you can play in the background without and of the lyrics getting in the way too much. It’s the perfect background music if you want the hits but you don’t want the lyrics.

    It’s a great collection and it’s similar to other collections like the popular Nouvelle Vague series of 80s new wave tracks remade jazzy and loungy. Shawn Lee & The Ping Pong Orchestra’s Hits The Hits is a fun, hip lively collection of pop tracks and Rock Your Body is one of the better cuts on the disc.

    Check it out and let me know what you think of this version compared to Timberlake’s version.

  5. Sweet Dreams by Señor Coconut


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Well the big hit Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This by Eurythmics will always go down in pop music history. It’s been remixed and covered countless number of times but I like this version because it just does not sound so much electronic or synth poppy as the original. It’s very loungy with the added Latin flavor that I’ve come to love from Señor Coconut. I think it’s great and it makes a great track to chill to. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the original and I love it alot but this completely different version is a nice change to the classic piece of music.

    It’s def worth a listen. Check it out and let me know what you think.
