New father Jay-Z just posted this new Neptunes-produced song, “Glory”, dedicated to his infant daughter Ivy Blue Carter. Our favorite couplet: You’re my child with the child from Destiny Child / That’s a hell of a recipe. But it’s not all cheery. Jay goes on to talk about miscarriages and false alarms. Toward the end of the song, however, you can hear what we’re assuming is an authentic recording of little Ivy crying. Her first record at 3 days old. Aww, sweet. Congratulations, folks.

 sneev’s SPOTHEADS.001 Spotify Playlist (14 tracks)

KMOC:

PRYDALISM
• Digitalism – Circles (Eric Prydz Remix) [192 kbps]

INDIE DANCE
• Walter Sobcek – Miami (Pharao Black Magic Remix)

PROGRESSIVE/ELECTRO HOUSE
• Ferry Corsten – Check It Out (Bassjackers Remix) [192 kbps]

PARTY HOUSE
• Beyonce & Jack Beats – Countdown (Top Billin Party edit)

FATBOY
• Fatboy Slim – Ya Mama (Push The Tempo) (Moguai Remix) [192 kbps]

Toks:

DEEP HOUSE
• Sinc, Daniel Sanchez – New Day (Original Mix)  [192 kbps]  [Beatport]

Deep house has really got a hold on me lately and “New Day” is part of the reason for that. It fits just about any mood, day or night, and it never lets me down.

PROGRESSIVE HOUSE
• Cirez D, Miike Snow, Carl Louis & Martin Danielle – Glow + Animal (Carl Louis & Martin Danielle Bootleg)

Carl Louis & Martin Danielle have certainly been making a name for themselves with big progressive house that has caught the attention of many, including SIZE Records. This bootleg brings new life to the old Miike Snow song, “Animal,” with it’s vocals layered over an uplifting rendition of Cirez D’s “Glow”.

LIQUID DRUM ‘N’ BASS
• Indivision & Livewire – Won’t You Stay (ft. Tasha Baxter)  [192 kbps]

Indivision & Livewire produced a track that has been my favorite liquid drum ‘n’ bass tune as of late. I love the vocals matched with perfect drums and textures.

MELLOW MOOMBAHTON/DANCEHALL
• Rankin – You An Me

Be on the look out for a GDD™ exclusive with none other than the up and coming Rankin. In the mean time, this is a laid back remix of Vybz Kartel should do the trick.

SUMMER DISCO
• Poolside – Do You Believe (Goldroom Remix)

I’ve been a huge fan of the original of this tune ever since I saw Poolside at this year’s Pacific Festival. Goldroom recently released his Otoño Mix 2011 mix that featured his excellent remix. The spliced piano breakdown later in the track has me coming back for more every time.

PURPLE
• Salva – Obsession ft. B. Bravo

Quality headphones or speakers with a subwoofer are essential for this genre defying tune with deep low end tones. It’s always nice finding a great track in the late night hours, and this one was my latest discovery last night.

If there’s one thing Beyonce won’t stop doing, it’s churning out hits. Her latest single, the Kanye-produced, ‘80s inspired, reggae-inflected slow-jam “Party,” is the sixth one released from her latest album 4, an album that appears at this point to have absolutely no filler. Beyonce also won’t stop churning out colorful videos to match those hits – the “Party” video has Bey and a host of friends including Destiny’s Child chum Kelly Rowland and guest J. Cole (inexplicably replacing Andre freaking 3000) bringing their love of partying everywhere as they have a series of grand old summertime bashes at trailer parks, seedy motels, backyards, etc.

Here’s one special club version for you. The remix of Beyonce’s ‘Countdown’ by Jack Beats is a major one but it needed a little Top Billin touch with some island horns, drums and whatnot. Here then is the party version from Finland’s TOP BILLIN.
