More than just a DJ, Young has proven to be a creative force in the studio over the years with her various remix and production projects. Her remixes of Madonna's "Music" and "Hung Up" have garnered worldwide acclaim while dance floors have been energized routinely by her treatments of songs by the likes of Shakira, Pink, Cyndi Lauper, Kristine W, Britney Spears, Stevie Nicks, and Christina Aguilera. Her original works, which have become more plentiful of late, includes the floor-filler "What's Done Is Done" featuring Ceevox. The track is on Young's most recent CD, Genesis pt. 1, a high energy continuous mix that's been produced by her own Ferosh record label and that ably represents her current groove when she's in the DJ booth.
Young's demonstrated success in both the DJ and studio booths has fueled an exciting career that seemingly gets stronger and that has led to fame, popularity, and legions of fans around the world and in Chicago. She'll next be serving up a meaty and satisfying Windy City set this coming weekend on Saturday, March 7th at Hydrate Nightclub. (Event Details)

If you're looking for a fun campy track to add to your MP3 playlist, then look no further than Cazwell's "I Seen Beyoncé at Burger King" featuring Jonny Makeup (Peace Bisquit). This hilariously catchy tune about Mrs. Jay-Z pigging out on fast food and also driving to JC Penny with a "forty" in her lap has been a mini-sensation on YouTube and came to me as a 14-track maxi-single. For dance purposes Matthias "Matty" Heilbronn delivers a soulful, groovy houser while Lost Daze turns out an energetic club mix that's pretty damn good.
I, like many of you, am a big fan of Kylie Minogue and thus am thrilled with the recent release of Boombox: The Remix Album 2000-2008 (Astralwerks). The fantabulous (it's a word because I say it so) CD includes remixes of her 21st century best by Chemical Brothers, Bini & Martini, Sebastien Leger, and Fischerspooner. It's well worth the effort to head over to Borderline Music to pick it up. Also worth efforting for are the Mark Picchiotti and Rich Morel Pink Noise remixes of "SuperLover," the single from Labelle's new album Back to Now (Verve).
