In this interesting musical project, DJ JE enlisted the help of singers Michelle Martinez & Erin Paula to star in his music video for a mix he did called “Duplicity Matinee”, off his All It Takes collection.

The Remixed Electro-Pop Songs Youtube Round-Up – 3/7/12

We’re still catching up on the ever growing list of covers and remixes that we come our way everyday, but the common theme among this post’s videos is the fact that they are all dance/electronica/pop related in their original forms. We’ve got everything from the dubstep vibes of Skrillex to the dance influenced stylings of Kelly Clarkson’s more recent single.
