Here is my latest 80 Minute Mix concentrating on Club Electro Remixes of many of the songs that made up the "Soundtrack of 2008".  I can & do spin rap & hip hop, but this mix is all "club-style" & consists of tracks I've been playing in my House sets all year. As you read the playlist, you'll see it's one Hit after another!   Hopefully when you listen to it years from now, it'll create some good music memories. Feel free to pass the link on to anyone who may love a "2008 Keepsake"!:

I was asked to do an Advanced Remixing seminar this year at the upcoming International DJ Expo in Atlantic City, NJ. In previous years, it was a basic / introduction seminar to remixing but we've decided to take it up a notch and make it more advanced. Below is the seminar's description on the website:

Remixing 201: The Next Level
1:30-3:00
Diamond Room D
Join hitmaking club & mobile DJ Russ Harris (EsNtion Silver Records) as he takes his remixing seminar up a notch and demonstrates how to create a remix & a track with software synthesizers & sequencers. He'll also show you how to change the tempo of a song, work with a cappellas and more. Russ will pull out production tricks and effects that have helped him score remix projects & a full-album deal.

To see the actual website for the DJ Expo, click here:
http://www.djtimes.com/djexpo/2008/
Click on "Seminars, Panels & Workshops" on the left panel & then on "MONDAY, AUGUST 11 << click here" for the full listing of the day.

Also, the night before, I will be spinning at theDJ Expo Welcome/Opening party at "GAME ON" located in Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City (Aug. 10). Party starts at 10pm & will also feature DJ's Sticky Boots, Paul Dailey, CB Shaw, DJ Toad, DJ Philthy, DJ Rabbit & possibly DJ Terry Moran if we can convince him to not "host" for an hour (LOL).

The Reviews for the new single "Standing In The Rain" are in!  Also, all the tracks
are now available on my Snocap store on my page (both Radio Edits & Extended Versions).  The video is almost complete & will be posted soon!  Let me know what you think!



*DIXIE DANCE KINGS*
Great work once again from Russ and a great pairing with Adam Barta. The
talents are made for each other.

*LETS DANCE IRS RECORD POOL*
Glad to hear from the very talented Adam Barta. This one worked well the
first time I spun it. My personal favorite mix is the "Klubjumpers Klub
Mix", the DJ's have also been giving the "Main Mix" & "Project X Remix" a very
favorable review.

*MASSPOOL*
DJ Russ Harris f/ Adam Barta "Standing in the Rain" He's back with a
creative little track , check it out, it won't fail you and will grab
the floor!

*MAD PROMOTIONS *
He is such a nice boy!
The record is good.
2 Mixes are Original and Tony Arzadon.

*OUR MID ATLANTIC POOL (OMAP)*
Once again DJ Russ Harris comes through with a solid set of mixes. The
vocals remind us a bit of Duran Duran and this looks like it could be a
pretty big summer hit for us here at OMAP. Best initial response to Mr.
Mig, Tony Arzadon & Monster Taxi mixes. The male vocals are a nice
change for Russ as he usually uses females.

*PHILLY SPINNERS ASSOC*
FAVORITE Mix : FRANK MILANO REMIX ; GREAT Manipulation Of The VOCALS +
FANTASTIC NRG !!
TRACK IS REMINISCENT OF GIORGIO MORODER COLLABORATIONS WITH DONNA SUMMER
From The Mid- To Late 70's !!
DEFINITE PICK HIT . . . We EXPECT This To Go TOP 10 !!

*CENTRAL OHIO RECORD POOL*
Lots and lots of great mixes of this song give us all kinds of options.
Typical from this artist, the song has a catchy hook, good melody, and
the vocal work is solid. Although there are many good mixes, I (now)
prefer the Klubjumpers version. Other DJs in the Pool have other
preferences depending on their style and venues. Initial feedback is
strongly favorable. This will do very well in our market.

*HAWAII DJ ASSOCIATION*
Club friendly track...it's a song with a nice chorus. I like the Monster
Taxi and original mixes. Should chart with no problem.

*PITTSBURGH DISC JOCKEY ASSOCIATION*
Favorite mix is track 9. Song is very energetic.& should do well for the
pool.

*NORTHWEST DANCE MUSIC ASSOCIATION*
NEEDS MORE MIXES! Kidding of course...that Klubjumper's mix is the one!
Can't wait to see what my members pick as their favs. Top 15.

*RICKETTS RECORD POOL*
his stuff always does well with me

*SOUNDWORKS*
This is a strong track - please pull the strongest tracks that give
variety.
Main Mix - this is the best mix - consistent and workable
Monster Taxi - good solid house
Arzadon Club - I personally like the stripped down dark treatment - less
usable but - good for very late night play

I posted today my new mix of "Standing In The Rain" featuring MTV Logo singer Adam Barta!  I also posted the Top 40 version remixed by Steve "Mr. Mig" Migliore!  The song will be available for remixes & downloading within the next few weeks.  Featured remixes have been produced by myself (the new Main Mix), Frank Milano (Italy), Jason "Monster Taxi" Klein (Miami, FL), Tony Arzadon (Chicago, IL), & Klubjumpers (Dallas, TX).  Stay tuned for the video being shot in Puerto Rico.  The video is expected to be done in June.
