Ultimix Weekend Checklist 8-1-25:
1. DAISIES (ULTI-reMIX) - Justin Bieber (FM 318)
Multi-format hit. Bieber. Funkymix. Done.
2. What Did I Miss? (ULTI-reMIX) - Drake (FM 318)
The original slams into 2nd part and changes top line, harmony and tempo. BPMs were 62.5 then 63.5. DJ Volume made everything a more programmable 125. He smoothed the transition and produced an all new bassline that works with both.
3. Burning Blue (ULTI-reMIX) - Mariah The Scientist (FM 318)
Doc Roc transformed this moody R&B number into more of a commercial bass/dance vibe. Now it's primed for peak hour play.
4. EAST LA - will.i.am & Taboo (FM 318)
Half of BEP drop a late-summer heater that's a love letter to their hometown. will.i.am cleverly uses a "Maria Maria" sample loop. Mark made sure everything was tight and ready for mixshow!
5. Happen to Me (ULTI-reMIX) - Russell Dickerson (UM 340)
The latest country track to "pop" is slowly increasing its numbers at Top 40 and is lodged firmly in the top 10 at Country radio. Mark did a nice re-fresh to give it attention for open formats.
6. Havin Or Not (ULTI-reMIX) - LaRussell & Lil Jon (FM 318)
BeatThrillerz did a full production crunk style! He added new synths and harder hitting 808s.
7. Swimming Pools (ULTI-reMIX throwBK) - Kendrick Lamar
Volume transformed Kendrick's major-label debut from 2012. New groove, new vibe...Sounding too fresh for 2025!
8. Ginger (ULTI-reMIX) - Sean Paul (FM 318)
Huda and Akai Seven turn up the heat with the latest from dancehall superstar SP.
9. boffum - Saweetie (FM 318)
Stacy did some clever wordplay on ICY Girl's latest.
10. Big Poe - Tyler, the Creator f. Sk8brd (FM 318)
Stacy cleaned up Pharrell's beats that were off grid. He rebuilt the entire track to lock it in tight and craft a clean pass.
