Santa Maria (Deluxe Collection)
Artist: Tatjana
Release Date: 1/13/13
Price: $5.99

This was released worldwide a bit earlier this year and features various remixes of the hit songs from over the years. The most interesting one is probably the Delaction remix, though it’s disappointing that it’s only the radio edit.

Interesting news posted on J-Mi & Midi-D’s Facebook page. It looks like the mystery UK label that picked up their latest single is none other than UKNRecords, a new label by Chris Sargent, better known to Dancemania fans as half of Sy & Unknown. Apparently the single will be out soon, and will feature a remix by Chris Unknown.

Saifam Speed – January 2013
Artist: Various Artists

Another batch of Speed covers. Kind of surprised to see the new “We Will Rock You” remix being labeled as “Alternative Sound Planet remix.” My first thought was that it might be related to the Planet remixes from Dancemania Speed, but that seems unlikely given how long it’s been since the last Planet mix. I do wonder who did the remix, though. The other new track is a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Uptight (Everything’s Alright).”

SPE209 – [4:09] Uptight (Everything’s Alright) (Factory Speedo remix) / Speedmaster
SPE210 – [4:29] We Will Rock You (Alternative Sound Planet remix) / Mazerati

Best Mix Loves… House Nation
Release Date: 3/20/13
Price: 2190 yen

It’s been a while since the last House Nation release back in July of 2012, but the series will be back this March, though it’ll be as a collaboration with the Best Mix series. The Best Mix series generally features all genres, so I’m not sure why they felt the need to attach the House Nation brand. No tracks revealed yet, although the final list is expected to have 30 songs.

Pre-order at CDJapan.
