Record Pool Picks, October 2008

This was a smaller shipment, only about two-thirds the size of most months, but there were several really good tracks in here that stood out for me:

Live Progressive Sets:
- Deadmau5, “Ghosts N Stuff” (Original Mix)
- Neon Stereo, “Rock This”
- Nigel Richards, “I Will Make Party” (Original)

Mainstream Club Sets:
- Deadmau5 & Mellefresh, “Attention Whore” (Original)
- Monolythe, “Don’t Break It” (Original Mix)
- Pussycat Dolls, “I Hate This Part” (Dave Aude Dub Mix)

Studio Mixes:
- Deadmau5, “I Remember” (Original)
- Deadmau5 & Mellefresh, “Attention Whore” (Phil Chanel Mix)
- Pussycat Dolls, “I Hate This Part” (Dave Aude Club Mix)
- Rezo & Emannuel, “1749 De Emotii” (Moshic Remix)

Warmup Tracks:
- Ad Brown, “I Just Do”
- Chris Drifter feat Ronyo, “Disconnected Illusions” (Original Mix)
- Lea D, “Urban Soul”
- Moti Brothers, “Exposure” (Original Mix)
- Retroid, “Chasing Rainbows” (Retroid Remix)
- Snake Sedrick, “First Lie” (Original Mix)

You can see several Deadmau5 tracks on the list. Deadmau5 (Toronto DJ Joel Zimmerman) recently caused a bit of a scandal in the DJ world when he gave this interview criticizing DJ's. But love him or hate him, his tracks are invariably well-produced, even though his sound from track to track is fairly consistent. Of course, some people would argue that's a good thing, and others would argue a lack of growth and creativity. Anyway, I'm not sure why "I Remember" is on this month's DVD, since I thought it was released back in February. Not that it matters - it's a great vocal track, which I love.
