Description
Are you ready for summer? The heat has already arrived, and I'm not just talking about the weather. Episode 16 of the podcast is ready to get your summer off to a rollicking start with some scorching tracks. Representing the circuit tribal and diva grooves, the progressive scene, a little retro fabulous, and good old reliable house music, you'll find a little bit of everything (just how I like it) in this mix. In addition, there's an exclusive remix of a hot new track, "I Remember" by Kaskade, done just for me (and your enjoyment) by the ever-fabulous DiscoPup!
What's really amazing about this set is that almost 50% of the tracks are either reworks/remixes or samples of songs that were big hits in their own right. You're going to recognize these right off the bat, and I hope they'll bring back some good memories for you, as well as create some new ones. A couple of these are going to be huge summer anthems, like the new mix of "Dive in the Pool" and "Cafe Del Mar." These two blockbusters have been given a very deft re-treatment; the new mixes just blew me away the first time I heard them and I knew I had to use them in a podcast. It's funny too, in a way, especially for "Dive in the Pool," which when it first came out, not only filled the floors no matter where it was played, but got the hands up in the air and the crowd chanting along. But like any big song like that, it crested fast ad then crashed hard, landing in "cheese factor" territory. This new mix, however, breathes some new life into the track, reviving it and Pepper Mashay's "Let's get soakin' wet!'
Then there are the two new stormers, one from the "Queen of Disco" herself, Donna Summer, and one from the newest sensation on the block, Rihanna. You're going to hear these tracks a lot over the next few months, and I'm predicting Rihanna's "Take a Bow" will have the longevity of "Please Don't Stop the Music."
So, no sitting this time; get up on your feet and shake your thang, 'cause this groove ain't gonna let you sit down.
And it's all coming up, "Next," just for you.
