Besides being a part of the band Id Life Crisis, Ru puts together some amazing mixtapes of the must-have songs of the moment. Due the success of his disco mix I'm happy to say that Ru is going to share his mixes with the readers of A Blog About Things! To start things off with a bang I have THREE Ru-mixes to share with you. Check 'em out with explanations from the mixer himself!
 Ru-Mix: Chiggy Wiggy This is my favorite of the three coming out this week and it’s pure pop perfection. The quartet of Sugababes’ “About a Girl” through Kylie’s “Chiggy Wiggy” are certainly a highlight. I think “Años Luz” is possibly the best Shakira song ever! And, if you don’t already own the La Roux, Little Boots, Calvin Harris and Frankmusik albums you’ll get another taste here – absolutely a must have for any pop music fans!! Download it here |
 Ru-Mix: Whateva You know I love a good house mix. The mix starts out a little more mellow, including a great Sugababes remix (using the Keisha recording) as well as some disco-riffic Beyoncé. The energy is pumped up a notch with Sam Sparro and Britney Spears and it’s all brought to an amazing end with Nelly Furtado and finally, the song that’s on everyone’s lips, “Whateva, whateva whateva you say, whateva whateva whateva!” Download it here |
 Ru-Mix: Bad Boys Clearly I use the term “hip-hop” loosely. However this an American radio friendly mix including some really great tracks that certainly will have mass appeal. JD is back with a kick ass Mariah Carey remix, Alexandra Burke (who?) reels in Flo-Rida to help push her newest single but it’s really the end of the mix from Beyonce’s brilliant (but sadly unreleased) “Control” through the Wynter Gordon remix of Madonna’s “Celebration” that is my favorite string of songs on this mix! Listen to this back to back with “Chiggy Wiggy” and you’ll have a party in your pocket! Download it here |
Happy jamming, everyone!
