Uncle and nephew dance music duo LMFAO stormed the club scene and airplay charts in 2008 with the track "I'm in Miami Bitch," an old-school-style electro/rap song detailing debauchery at the Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida. PARTY ROCK (also the name of Red Foo and Sky Blu's vintage-inspired clothing line) keeps the non-stop celebration rolling with more tracks about drinking, dancing, and girls, and more of all three. From the stomping beat and reverse psychology pickup lines of "I Am Not a Whore" to hilarious the classic hip-hop bravado and `90s synth string patches of "Yes," PARTY ROCK comes exactly as advertised.

2012 four CD collection. Line dancing can be traced back several centuries to folk traditions developed in Europe and brought to the United States by immigrants. It took off in Europe when Country Music Television arrived in the '90s and halls from Epsom to Emmerdale were packed with participants. This collection of Country classics designed for dancing will allow you to scoot your boots in the privacy of your own front room or throw a party to dress up and show off your skills. Simply.

Personnel: Adrian Revell (flute); Martin Shaw (trumpet).In 2006, dubstep took center stage in the U.K. and firmly knocked grime off as the underground music of the moment. At the forefront of the movement was Skream with dubstep's signature single, "Midnight Request Line." The straight-ahead combination of subterranean bass, reverbed drums and spooky ambiance on "Midnight Request Line" brought dubstep out of the London suburb of Croydon and onto the international scene. Skream's first full-length follows "Midnight Request Lines" pattern and delivers stripped down dub music with just enough nods to the genre's roots in Jamaica. Minor chords and an Upsetters' sample from Blackboard Jungle Dub are a nice touch that helps to balance out the tinges of R&B and some weak MC'ing that seem unnecessary. At the album's weakest point, Skream throws in some grime beats that show just how limited that genre was, and how painful the U.K.'s taste for dance beats can be. When Skream sticks to bass heavy ambient dub, there's h Minimize

Lyricist: Ellen Allien.Personnel: Ellen Allien (vocals).Little surprise that the BPitch Control boss would make sure that the remix collection based on her 2010 album would have some well-selected names of the moment, but Ellen Allien's Dust Remixes is almost a murderer's row when it comes to top-of-the-line partners. Obviously, it can't be everything and everyone in such a broad field as 21st century electronic dance music, but kicking off with a great Ripperton remix of "My Tree," a rolling drum pattern and plenty of tense, near post-punk rock anthem atmosphere leading the way, and concluding (at least on the digital version) with an equally stellar We Love take on "Sun the Rain," the latter again showing you never quite know what you'll get with the duo until you hear it (in this case a frenetic Moroder tribute), Dust Remixes is an involving listen from start to finish. "Sun the Rain" also provides the basis for another noteworthy rework -- coming out the same month as his entrancing Ravedeath, 1972 album, Minimize

The much-anticipated album from Jonsson/Alter, the new project from Henrik Jonsson (Porn Sword Tobacco/Gunnar Jonsson) & Joel Alter (Joel Alter/Jor-el), has finally arrived. If the very well received preceding EPs, Olidan (km019) and En Livfull Skildring (km020), are future classics, the album Mod, sets a new standard of what a dance music album could be. With personality and grace Jonsson/Alter blend soul, atmosphere and space with heavenly monotone funk. Or as the artists put it: This album just landed in our laps like the sand falls inside an hourglass, every note is a breath of air and each kick pumps like a woken heart. Tension is the key word to this album. The raw funk of bass lines and drum programming always grinds against the smooth and beautiful, almost sacral and poetic parts of the music. You can feel the work of two producers, two styles, two ideas, meeting and blending to create something new - a sound of their own. This can clearly be heard on Acapellan. A sharp acid bass line meets smooth church-bell pads and Pet Sound choirs move freely in and out of the piece. Djup House plays around the same theme. Dreamy monotone organ pads and deep human sighs meet the striving funk of daily life. Dvärg is probably the most danceable track on the album. Minimalistic but irresistibly funky drum programming jams together with a wild and constantly tweaked one-tone bass line. Very few sounds play efficiently in this amazingly dirty club track. Kyrka 2.0 brings us back to the deeper domains of the Jonsson/Alter sound. Floating organ chords are carefully filtered back and forth. The music sounds almost religious. Even if the key is in minor this is music filled with hope. Hela Berget aims for the dance floor and brings some serious American inspired techno sounds. Again the trademark of dusty soft organ cords enters and tries to drain the funk. But in favor of the dance, the sacral atmosphere is forced away by raw bass line and dance floor drums. The album ends with Tre Ackord, a cinematic and dusty house classic. This is pure riding-bike- in-the-Swedish-country-side-summer-music. Good times are what we are made for and this album will hopefully help you in pursuing that task. Minimize

Personnel: King Curtis (tenor saxophone); John Berry, Henry Ollie (vocals); Mickey Baker, Billy Butler, Carl Lynch (guitar); Warren Luckey (tenor saxophone); Heywood Henry (baritone saxophone); Ernie Hayes, Paul Griffin (piano); Joe Marshall (drums).Liner Note Author: Clive Richardson.This delightful 12-track set was originally released by RCA Records in 1961 to cash in on the twist dance phenomenon that was then sweeping the east coast, and while it was hardly an LP for all time, the music was spirited and frenzied, and it remains so all these decades later. At the time, King Curtis was predominately a top-tier tenor sax session man, and vocalist Don Covay, who sings on half of the album's tracks, was just starting out in his career, too, so this set has a certain historical significance, but it's the music itself that speaks loudest. Working with a big band that included guitarists Mickey Baker, Billy Butler, and Carl Lynch, fellow tenor sax player Warren Luckey, baritone saxist Heywood Henry, pianists Erni Minimize

"Boot Scootin' Boogie" zoomed Brooks & Dunn to the top of the country line-dance craze in 1992, and one could hardly blame them for riding the crest, even if it left them in a rut of shallow, preening dance ditties. They began showing greater depth in the late '90s, with albums like If You See Her and Steers and Stripes. While Hillbilly Deluxe is musically consistent, Tony Brown's production sharp and focused throughout, the themes here revert to the same old same old: empty, shallow stompers with lyrics that occasionally sound dated. "Play Something Country," another Ronnie Dunn collaboration with Terry McBride, duly name-drops current Nashville stars as well as P. Diddy and Patsy Cline. Things don't improve with the blustery "She Likes to Get Out of Town"; "Just Another Neon Night," with its painfully clichéd line "turn off that rap, boys, play me some Haggard"; or "Building Bridges," a "vocal event" with superfluous input from Vince Gill and Sheryl Crow. Only the moving story-song "Believe," brimming with heart and honesty, reminds of their potential when they think beyond the boot. --Rich Kienzle Minimize
