Here at The Hot Six, we love the international beats, sounds, rhythms, and flavors. This track has an uncategorizable hook to it, but it has shades of Middle Eastern and something exotic. In the immortal words of Borat, “I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike!” You liiiiiiiike? R3hab is part of the Dirty Dutch crew and is another Dutch DJ [...]

The Grammys were here on Sunday night. Adele swept, Campbell crooned, and The Beach Boys reunited. The telecast was mostly filled with performances; there few stops in the action to present awards and accept trophies. The Grammys could have done themselves a favor if they kept Adele on stage, handed her six trophies, and gave [...]

I was very saddened to hear of the death of Whitney Houston this past Saturday. She had an amazing voice, and made a lot of incredible music with it. For this week’s throwback track, I am featuring one of her songs remixed by Thunderpuss. Thunderpuss consists of music producers Chris Cox and Barry Harris. They [...]

You may recall our Hot Six #20 dedicated to love, passion, and romance, but here are four special tracks for any mood you have on [...]

DJ Carlos Serrano used his creative ear to mix The XX’s Intro with badboy rapper Kanye West’s Touch the Sky. Serrano takes Kanye’s song away from its original glamorous, even a bit cocky tone, to a [...]
A lot of us have addictions that we try to pull ourselves away from….smoking, gambling, facebook, chocolate, sex, and even a naughty lover. Medina (whose full name is Medina Danielle Oona Valbak ) is a Danish pop star, who is slowly making a name in the United States. I’ve loved her music for quite some time for [...]
I love Schiller. The Deutsche band named after German philospher, poet, historian, and playwright Friedrich Schiller, is led by Christopher von Deylen. When I went to the Middle East in 2005, I was obsessed with this track. Unfortunately since then, I haven’t heard a Schiller track that I’ve loved. Until now. Von Deylen’s back with [...]

Fall of 1995 was my first semester of college. It was my first real exposure to dance music. Prior to that, my only real exposure to anything electronic was the popular European band 2 Unlimited, and an album a friend gave me called Rave Till Dawn. “Missing” by Everything But The Girl was a song [...]
