http://nikolaiparis.multiply.com/ A lunar eclipse is a time of beginnings, endings, exposure and major changes. It always has something to do with "relationships". The changes are tied to how we relate and will have a lasting impression. Emotions run high, causing upsets and feelings of disorientation. Actions taken often do not have the expected results, but they do bring awareness and enlightenment. The energy of an eclipse is at its strongest during the two days before and three days after its occurrence. At lunar eclipses we: merge, unite, announce, contact, present ourselves, bring something out into the open, make decisions, engage, rise to the challenge, make an effort, change, get a new perspective, join with others, take on greater challenges, travel at a faster pace, feel restless, feel pressured by deadlines and a buildup of emotions, and experience excitement and crisis... <center><i>Welcome to my life's eclipse.</i></center> <center><b><u>MOON SONG OF THE MOMENT:</u></b> <object height="80" width="300"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/m/aq5iy4yCxb"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed allowscriptaccess="never" src="http://media.imeem.com/m/aq5iy4yCxb" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="110" width="300"><a href="http://www.imeem.com/djrdubl/music/DTtJzFV_/john_legend_ft_andre_3000_green_light_dirty/"></a></object></center> Thu, 3 Jul 2008 23:58:07 -0000 Thu, 3 Jul 2008 20:04:17 -0000 http://images.nikolaiparis.multiply.com/logo http://nikolaiparis.multiply.com 100 100 It appears that I'm really not done with her yet. Here's another remix I just found for her new single, and this one is made for a totally different dance floor. It's the dancehall remix from Sly & Robbie (who made a fantastic reggae version of Britney's "Piece Of Me"), and I think they took the track to a whole new direction.

Crafted by DJ Lenny B (that's Bertoldo for you), also known for his remixes like Rihanna's "We Ride" and Alicia Keys' "No One", I think this one's gonna be a hit.

Kaskade released his fifth solo album last May called "Strobelight Seduction", and in this record, he collaborated with Canadian house/electronic DJ/artist Deadmau5 (pronounced as "dead mouse") for a couple of tracks.

This is the one. We now have the teleserye that will remind audiences in Metro Manila that only ABS-CBN can make the best in Philippine TV. After the miscalculation that was "Lobo", the Kapamilya network is going back to the formula of a good, old-fashioned melodrama to win audiences back from the pathetic excuse they call "fantaseryes" popularized by the other network. Seriously, it's time to move on from that crap. Inspired by a 1992 Jose Javier Reyes film starring Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta, the TV version features the always luminous Claudine Barretto, Diether Ocampo, Angelica Panganiban and the comebacking Gabby Concepcion. Other members of the topnotch ensemble cast include Susan Roces, Laurice Guillen, Cherry Pie Picache, Joel Torre, Bembol Roco and young stars Matt Evans & Melissa Ricks. Enough said. I am hoping that this one lives up to its hype. If it does, it won't be long until the "masa" switches back to the real force of Pinoy http://nikolaiparis.multiply.com/video/item/12/Iisa_Pa_Lamang_Full_Trailer Wed, 2 Jul 2008 14:08:06 -0000 Now here's something of a surpise. Take a very familiar karaoke hit, spin it with a house music vibe, and you'll surely get everyone dancing. UK dance production team EyeWitness tapped singer Charlene Oliver to re-record the vocals of her one-time hit for a pop dance version which was released early this year. But this new mix I have for you is much better, the feel is more house music than pop, which makes it absolutely perfect as a dance anthem for the fabulous ones.

And what better way to come back than with a one-two punch of remixes for Madonna's latest single. First up, is the dance floor creation of Fedde Le Grand. I have a feeling that Fedde is going to play a huge part in Madonna's next album, having remixed tracks for the new tour and this one. But anyway, I think this one's pretty cool, another one for the dance floor fanatics. Click on the link below and give it to me once again. Enjoy!

This one's for all the rock fans out there, it's the new single of alternative metal band Staind, from their upcoming album "The Illusion Of Progress". It's an emotional rock ballad in the same vein as their breakout hit, "It's Been A While". The loud guitar riffs and banging drums never sounded this good. You gotta love the lyrics too.

You might know Rupee from his worldwide club hit "Tempted To Touch", from a few years ago. Now here's his brand new track (brimming with that irresistible calypso sound...ooh wee...) which will surely make you get up on your feet and just sway your hips, the way you do when you're in a tropical paradise, sipping on a cool drink and just enjoying the sun.

I missed my hip-hop class terribly since they started "clustering" the classes, so I jumped on the chance to bust a move again. I had a sweaty, good time all throughout the dancing marathon. The Body Jam part came first, which was surprisingly fun, followed by some hardcore hip-hop. I never felt so beat and exhausted. But one thing made my day: I won a prize! Haha. I'm not sure for what reason, but I'm glad I did. Here are some photos from the session, and I just want to holler at Gina for including me in some of the shots, and instructor Albert for uploading the pictures. Thanks! http://nikolaiparis.multiply.com/photos/album/11/Just_Dance. Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:30:45 -0000 Now here's the much awaited music video debut of Miss Jennifer Hudson, with my current song of the moment, "Spotlight". Directed by Chris Robinson (who also directed Alicia Keys' "Teenage Love Affair"), it's a simple montage of glamour shots (she looks rockin' with that hair) and attitude, intertwined with scenes that depict the message of the song. I particularly like the scene in the white room, very artsy for an urban video. It will be a year of firsts for Jennifer with her first original single, this first music video and of course, the first album which drops this September. Judging from the response of audiences in the US, it appears that she's on the right track. Now it's time for the Pinoys to feel that Hudson fever.

This is the teaser trailer of the only American remake (so far) of a Filipino film. Directed by our very own Yam Laranas (I can't help but feel so proud of this director), the movie is called "The Echo", and it stars Jesse Bradford (known for movies like "Bring It On" & "Clockstoppers") and Amelia Warner (who I last saw in "The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising"). Also, the lovely Iza Calzado reprises her role from the original film. It seems like this version is going for a more psychological angle compared to the original, but I'm liking it. I hope this gets a major release in US http://nikolaiparis.multiply.com/video/item/10/The_Echo_Movie_Trailer Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:41:37 -0000 Let me just slow things down for one second. This one's a nice R&B slow jam from a new artist who goes by the name Francisco, who has already made a name for himself by remixing music from Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Flo-Rida, etc. I'm sure some of you guys have heard his work on local radio, most notably his rework of "The Way I Are". He is currently working on his debut EP, and this track could be part of that record. It talks about the eternal theme of assuring someone that she deserves better and that you'll always be there to love her. I love the Spanish monologue part towards the end.

The first set of club mixes for Miss Hudson's debut single has just leaked and it's freakin' fantastic!

Here's another club mix of their newest hit, and this one comes from one of my favorite remixers, Dave Audé.

I didn't realize that I am a major fan of her music, until now. I have all her albums since her resurrection as a dance diva in "Light Years", and she's still makes me groove. I just can't get her out of my head. This remix is for her first US single this year "All I See", created by Mark Picchiotti. It starts off with a house vibe, but is then followed by a mixture of instruments from whistles to guitars, infusing the track with a hypnotic Latin flavor. Click on the link and let's salsa. Enjoy.

I switched the TV on to somehow distract myself, surfed through every channel until I came across this Pinoy movie from the 90's. A few minutes into watching the flick, I was suddenly caught off guard by how extremely romantic this certain exchange of dialogue was:<br><br>Sebastian: "Masaya ka ba?"<br><br>Gigi: "Masaya naman. Pero sa kalagayan natin, hindi tayo mabubuhay ng puro pag-ibig lang."<br><br>Sebastian: "Hayaan mo, dahil binubuhay mo ako ng pag-ibig mo, bubuhayin din kita..."<br><br>I would've considered it to be one of the greatest romantic scenes in Philippine cinema right then and there, if not for the fact that Gigi is played by starlet Dindi Gallardo (remember her?) and Sebastian is played by Jay Manalo, also known in the movie as:<br><br><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.nikolaiparis.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SFvd6goKCrgAAH9DGas1/vvtmola.jpg?et=ExR1bYzr5hnhSgJ6ypqDug&#x26;nmid=0" border="0">After that moment was over, I turned the TV off, put my headphones on and immediately went to sleep.<br> http://nikolaiparis.multiply.com/journal/item/30/Chorva.

But hey, it's good to know there are still fans out there who can't get enough of her. So here's another one for you guys, it's a rework of the Danja-produced (he's so hot right now) "Get Naked (I Got A Plan)", which is actually a mash-up with R&B singer Lloyd's song "How We Do (Around My Way)".

I still believe (someday you and me) that this track is a wrong choice for the next single (coming off the disastrous "Bye Bye" & that hoopla wedding), but there are reports that the music video has already been shot in Hawaii by no other than Chris Robinson, the man who helmed Madonna's "Frozen" and Rihanna's "Umbrella".
