Editorial Reviews

New York City's Bad Boy Joe is a remixer and DJ acclaimed for his booty-moving sets of house and freestyle. Johnny Budz is another high-profile DJ known for titillating mixes of house, trance, and the like. Both artists have released their own mix discs, and both are featured on ULTRA DANCE 07, an assembly of remixed songs by contemporary pop stars. Destiny's Child, Faith Evans, the Killers, and Depeche Mode are just a few of the artists given deep, beat-centric treatments here, so the mix should prove entertaining to fans of the original artists and club music aficionados alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars No real new discoveries, but it is loaded with big dance tracks, January 27, 2006

Disc 1 is a mainstream smorgasbord, perfect for a "pop" party. Not crazy about the use of the Jacques LuCont mix of the Killers, because it sucks the energy out the original. Jason Nevins remixes Kelly Clarkson pretty much exactly the way he remixed Since U Been Gone, breakdowns and all...but it is a treat to get 5 minutes of this mix here. Destiny's Child gives us a peak hour slammer thanks to a Peter Rauhofer mix-too bad it's only 5 minutes of it. Faith Evans gets Freemasons usual vibrant, disco-flavored treatment. Duran Duran is dragged down by that irritating "you've got to believe" deep-voiced sample we've been hearing in dance songs for 2 decades, along with a boring mix and very few vocals. But the party comes back strong with the electro-house pounder that loops lines from "Say Say Say" by Jackson and McCartney-and it's basically the full length club mix. Love Generation is a mellow house song with rasta-like vocals and an ANNOYING whistle riff-another one to drag the party down. The Kupper mix of Sun is another lite track-wish one of the other remixes of this song would appear on a mix CD for a change. The Rauhofer mix of Toxic-OLD news-should have used the remix of "Do Somethin" instead. Benassi bros-well, their hard electro always sounds the same, like their hit "satisfaction", but the female vocals and the trancy synth are outstanding. "House is Not a Home"-typical peak hour perfection from Deborah Cox, and a good 7 minutes of the massive tony moran mix. And what can I say about Cascada? An annoyingly catchy commercial trance vocal track.

Disc 2 is much more club oriented, with a dark house vibe. It begins strong with thumpin beats, strong attitude-and gospel influenced male vocals! Tocadisco goes electro, with bleeps, blips and a hint of female vocals. The trend continues with the dark male vocal track "Your Body". We get the moody trance mix of Red Carpet that became the most sought after version-but it's so gloomy. Number 1 is what you'd expect from Goldfrapp, an electro house thumper with chilly female vocal. My Washing Machine has an dub feel-and by this time, if you don't like electro house, you're going to hate this second disc. Depeche Mode, well...the only really good mix of Precious is the original album version, so Sasha's mix bores me. Feel the Vibe is funky house-an odd and sudden switch, but the female vocals are hot. Dare is another quirky track from Gorillaz-not very interesting. Ferry Corsten-a fairly boring lite trance vocal track. Judy Torres does a pleasant cover of the Journey ballad, a simple commercial house mix. It's a perfect lead in to the final track, the Darude-esque trance track Raindrops, a female vocal track that is a good way to end this disc on a high note.

A lot of big songs, but neither disc is consistent in dance style as they try to appease all types of listeners. There are some hard-to-find mixes though, which is good for serious collectors, although not all of them are long versions. Track times:

2.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly Dissappointed, January 27, 2006

Wow! I've bought every ultra series album. Everything from Ultra Trance to Ultra Chilled. Like many others i've been anxiously awating the release of the next album of the series Ultra Dance 7. Counting the days down finally January 24th arrived and i was off to Best Buy to get it. Ah yes i finally have my hands on it!.. im walking around best buy.. proud to hold this cd in my hand. i finally begin to look at the tracks. wait a minute! The Killers... Mr. Brightside???.. meh.. ok MAYBE it might be an awesome remix. no problem. My eyes scroll down the track list.. Destinys CHild Faith Evans? Britney Spears? what the hell?? Okk... they better be some good remix's. i finally get to the car pop the cd in and i was shocked.. when i got ultra dance 6 the first track jumped out at me and was really damn good!.. this one.. Slow and mellow. thats wat i can say about every track on this cd. Slow and Mellow and nothing that like grabs my attention. i finally get to listen to everything at home and before you know it the first disc is done and nothing grabbed your attention. wow.. this was teh same for the second disc as well. Suprisingly i think the best disc was teh third bonus disc. It was all real dance music no crappy remix of another song. And thats why i buy these ultra dance cd's. because i want the newest, latest dance music out there! Not a crappy fabrication of a hiphop, r&b, Pop, Rock songs. sad to say but i am REALLY disappointed with this cd. but i will still have it in my collection. I think its pretty safe to say that Ultra Dance 6 will be getting more airtime in my car than Ultra dance 7.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing Entry, January 30, 2006

I've been a huge fan of the ULTRA series, but this one really disappointed me. I'm no self-proclaimed DJ expert, but these mixes strike me as very generic. With the actual
dance" songs there's a lot of energy, but no decent melodies or hooks. And the club remixes of the pop songs they chose? HORRIBLE. Not to mention dated! These collections are usually fairly commercial, but at least "up to date." So why, oh why, is there a remix of Britney Spears' "Toxic" - a big hit of 2003/2004??

The second disc is slightly better, even though it does contain "Washing Machine" - one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard.

Ultra 06 was a great installment, packed with several big, then-current tracks that had some deep, catchy hooks. This is two hours of BLAH. Skip it.
