New Music Reviews - Home of DJ Willis

Lasgo has a new singer, and while she has a great voice, this track is missing the hard beat we are used to with Lasgo. Still diggin it and I’ll be checking out the upcoming remixes. 7/10
PS - Good god is the new chick hot!

Josh Harris Radio Mix - Never heard of Josh Harris but he has a unique funky style.  More of a deep remix, but still decent.  7/10

Gimo Mix - Very sick remix to a track that is increasing it’s spins every week. Bang this one in the clubs! 8/10

Moto Blanco Radio Edit - The Moto Blanco boys do a fantastic job on this remix. Excellent job speeding up the track and making it more of a club track. Excellent! 8/10
