I guess I should stop making promises for a certain date, as things inevitably come up.  At least I'm only a day late with plenty of time before Halloween and Pride (for the ATL) this weekend.  Anywho, let's get down to it.
This particular mix is decidedly more circuit oriented with lots of big room beats to spread around.  One of my big favorites of the moment is the Simone Denny and Barry Harris collaboration "Drama Queen."  Ooh, did I just write Barry Harris?  You bet!  The former half of Thunderpuss has now returned from exile with his guns blazing!  One of the things I didn't get around to mentioning in the recent Chrome Edition 2003, was that 2003 was the year Thunderpuss split, despite the fact that the TP franchise was still very much in demand by artists and club-goers around the globe.  Both Barry and Chris gave separate interviews to About.com in 2004 which cover their early years and how Thunderpuss came about down to their amicable split in 2003. 
Fast forward to 2009, and Barry's back with "Drama Queen" a ripping track where circuit meets 80's electronica.  This is a hot original production from Barry that attempts to break up the monotony of many of today's circuit tracks.  While the actual song doesn't cover any new territory, it's familiar theme rings well with the gay crowd; but it's the actual production that people will be shaking too.  I'm hoping this isn't a one-off and that we'll be getting even more from Barry in the near future.  For now, all I want to say is "welcome back Barry, we missed you!"
I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to my new favorite producer Matt Moss from New York.  A graphic designer by day (he's gotta pay the bills) and producer/DJ/remixer the rest of the time, like many of us, Matt has been hit by the recession.
