Seona Dancing - More To Lose - Ricky Gervais

If you are a Ricky Gervais fan and likes New Wave music and was a teenager from the Philippines in the 80's, then this is a cool trivia for you here.

Right..Ricky Gervais a well known comedian, one of the best, one of my favorites was once in a band.

Recommended Tracks (Ultimix/Funkymix series)

From now on I will be posting a list of tracks from the Ultimix and Funkymix series that I personally like and recommend. 

Ultimix/Funkimix is one of my favorite remix service and I have an almost updated collection of the series. Thanks to my fellow DJ enthusiast friend, who's supplying me the tracks.

In case you don't know, a remix service is a service that provides...
(obviously) remix music, for deejays, with intro, outro, breaks. 

What I usually do, I listen to each tracks in a series or volume 
(ex. Ultimix 200).
Then I picked the tracks that I personally dig or liked. Tracks that I believe are essential, good tracks and great remixes. Then I delete those that didn't made the cut. My own way to be organized with my music files and to save file space too.   

These picks, are based only on my own music tastes and opinion. You may have your own picks, as for me I just want to share it here.

OK so I will start off with

My picks:

1. Two Wrongs
    Wyclef Jean

2. Trade It All
    Fabolous

3. When The Last Time
    Clipse

4. Put Me Down
    Donell Jones

5. Oh Yeah!
    Big Tymers

6. In da Wind
    Trick Daddy

7. Stick Out Ya Wrist
    Nelly

8. By Myself
    Ying Yang Twins

Funkymix 63 consists of 9 tracks, so only 1 track is not included w/c is track no.9. This series is actually worth it 8/9.
