STEP UP REVOLUTION - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2012)

If there’s one movie franchise we can always count on to drum up our parties, it’s the Step Up series. So if you happen to throw, say, an average of two parties every week, you’d probably want to look into your party playlist. Naturally, the soundtrack album from the latest Step Up movie is something you’d want to keep handy.

The album contains remixes of some of the year’s most popular tracks, and those familiar with the dance genre will be delighted to see names like Travis Barker, Far East Movement, Timbaland, M.I.A. and Fergie. These musicians perform tracks featuring equally big names like Busta Rhymes, Ne-Yo, Pitbull, Missy Elliot and, gasp, Justin Bieber.

Shake your hips to tunes like “Let’s Go (Ricky Luna Remix)”, “Life My Life (Party Rock Remix)”, “Hands in the Air” and “Bad Girls (Nick Thayer Remix)”. Granted the music does sound homogenous after a while, there’s nothing like a few gulps of alcohol to boogie things up.

Running at an average of four minutes per track, this album is enough to liven up things at your party for a good hour. Play it alongside other Step Up soundtracks and you can be sure your guests will be impressed with how your party features some of the best music in town. 

 ALBUM RATING:

Recommended Track: (1) Let's Go (Ricky Luna Remix)
