Back in July, I posted my Top 10 Song Remixes of Summer, and so now I’m following it up with my Top 10 of the rest of the year.
As a fan of the genre, I’m always impressed with the ability to take a regular pop song, and turn it into something completely different – something that you can hear out in the clubs or work out to at the gym – it’s an art form in and of itself.
The list, plus my favorite dance music producers of 2008… inside.

It’s hard to avoid Beyonce this month – In the last two weeks alone I’ve watched her on “Saturday Night Live,” the American Music Awards, at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, on the red carpet for her premiere of her new movie “Cadillac Records,” on “Ellen,” on the finale of “TRL” and on the “Today” show.
And she’s got a lot more to go in promoting her third studio album, “I Am… Sasha Fierce,” which came out last Tuesday, November 18. This morning we all learned that her album debuted #1 on the Billboard album charts.
So, how does the rest of her album measure up?

But now, in a new interview with Seventeen magazine, who named her Style Star of the Year, Beyonce opened up a little more about their relationship, explaining why it took her so long – eight years — to walk down the aisle with her man.

As the resident mainstream pop music fanatic for “On The Download” at Access, there aren’t many albums that I’m more excited for than Beyonce’s third solo effort, the double-disc, “I Am… Sasha Fierce,” which comes out on November 18.
While both of Beyonce’s new tracks are odes to feminism, the first track, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” is a sassy dancefloor step anthem.
The second track, “If I Were A Boy,” from the ballad half of the new album, is a gender-war song for the ages.
If these first two singles (which is all that most of the world has heard so far) are any indication, this album looks to be a vast improvement over “B’Day” and more in line with her 2003 solo debut, “Crazy In Love.”
