Big Once (aka DJ Once A Month, Lab-O Records) was our special guest this month at Uberjam for our first annual RIP ODB celebration. We had hoped to record his set live that evening but dim lighting, beer, and technical difficulties prevailed. But Once is a professional and this afternoon during a live, 20 minute one take session he recorded his entire set for us! Not tracked out or manipulated in any way, this is essentially an exact duplicate of what went down @ Uberjam. Enjoy!

DJ TREW is back at it with another Uber remix. The minimalism of Soul II Soul’s “Back to Life” acapella matched with the 808s of Jim Jones & Ron Browz “Pop Champagne.” I’ve played this few times in the clurb, and it pops off everytime! DJ-friendly intro/outro too. Serato-ready 320kbps MP3, all tagged up and ready to roll. Enjoy!!

DJ Pickel is back at it with another Uber remix. Late last year Intel remixed the classic 90s R&B track ‘Return of the Mack’ by Mark Morrison. This week Pickel flips that same track and ups the tempo for a seriously heavy, dancefloor-friendly remix using elements from another classic 90s track, Daft Punk’s ‘Da Funk.’ Double the bang for your e-buck. Serato-ready 320kbps MP3, all tagged up and ready to roll. Enjoy!!

DJ TREW is back at it with another Uber remix. Remember Club Noveau? Well, Samuelle was a member, the only one to branch out into a solo career. “So You Like What You See” was his only hit, produced by none other than the New Jack godfather, Teddy Riley! Beyonce likely needs no introduction. Her latest single, despite being a #1 hit club banger, is a track that grabs you by the ears and pummels you with it’s sound. This remix tones it down, smoothed out on the R&B tip. Serato-ready 320kbps MP3, all tagged up and ready to roll. Enjoy!!

Serato-ready 320kbps MP3, all tagged up and ready to roll. Enjoy!!

A brand spanking new remix by DJ Pickel. If you’ve never heard Pickel spin, this remix embodies his style perfectly.
