SHAUNA SOLOMON
"Whatcha Gonna Do"
DMA Magazine - January 2000

Whatcha gonna do? Put out some incredible final remixes, that's what!  I'm not saying that the first two sets of remixes were not good, but I am saying that Ex-Funky Green Dogs vocalist Shauna Solomon's new remixes of "Whatcha Gonna Do" are off the hook.  The Michael T Diamond remix gives you hard driving tribal beats with chants of "Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone boy," building up and then dropping out to just a baseline.  After the vocals roll for a minute those pumpin tribal beats drop in again.  Layer after layer of vocals, beats and synths will keep your crown in an uproar.  For those of you on the progressive tip, check out the Drumatic Mix.  You are driven by a 1312 BPM four on the floor beat layered with trancy synths.  Lots of builds and dropouts make for a definite late night crowd pleaser.  Harlequin left no rock unturned with these remixes.  Not only were the tribal and progressive covered, but they give you mixes by C&M Productions, Tina Tuna and DJ Soulman, which covers the commercial, filtered, and after-hours grooves.  No matter what your style is, you will truly be rewarded.

"Whatcha Gonna Do"
DJ TIMES - JUNE 2000

The former featured vocalist for Funky Green Dogs' "Reach For Me" heads out on her own with this impressive female-empowerment cut, a great sing-along number that'll stick in clubbers' heads well after the dancefloor.  My fave is the "Tina Tuna Out The Door Mix."  There is a Michael T Diamond mix for a deeper New York feel.  A great song for a great vocalist.
