Beyonce “Single Ladies (Alan Astor Remix)”

November 25th, 2008

To make more effective an ex-boyfriend’s envy towards you dancing with another man (and further pummel in his brain the point that you’re super-irate that your finger is still ring-less), you must REALLY pull out some heavy sweat-inducing stripper moves. To help that along, Alas Astor has laced the already bop-periffic “Single Ladies” with an even more energetic bounce.

Bobbing 8-bit video game-y synths and an addictive whip-crack beat shuffle frame this likable dance redux; just try not to sprain your wrist trying to quickly swivel your bling-free hand (in a nod to “Ladies” signature dance move) to it’s rapid-paced beat.

T.I. “Whatever You Like (Alan Astor Remix)”

November 16th, 2008

From the moment T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” first laid on ears, it was clear that it was going to be one of those records to get an overwhelming amount of mainstream radio spins (and thus become highly annoying in rapid time). Taking the widescreen sonic palette of previous Tip singles and pushing it to bubblegum pop-rap heights, the sing-song ditty landed as a sort of sister-like entry to Weezy’s “Lollipop” (especially with both being helmed by producer Jim Jonsin).

Re-tooling it’s cool, molasses pace for easier club floor accessibility, dance beatsmith Alan Astor underlines it with a quicker thrust while bedazzling it with even more synth layers and a celebratory mood, perfectly prepositioning the tune to become a no-brainer, strike-of-midnight New Years Day DJ staple.
