Party People!!!!! Tag Team back again and so are a few all-time floorfillers in this February set, side-by-side with hot new releases kicking to the same beat.
Hi Energy (covered here by
Lite Frequency) killed disco for good and helped give rise to the Chicago Hi NRG sound that characterize House as we know it.
Physical (heavy sample from the
Bingo Players' track,
Body Talk) is the 80's longest-running single at the top spot of Billboard (yup, a dance track did it!), along with the magazine's ranking as The Sexiest Song of All Time.
Whoomp! (There It Is) is easily the most prominent 90's dance song (possible the best feel-good song of all-time) currently charting to the top spot of Beatport with a
Doodge & Viper rehash. And as Eurodance dominated the past decade, no other song speaks Eurodance like
Everytime We Touch, whether its the
Cascada original or the real summer
-y rehash from
Crew and
Men of Honor appearing on this set. This decade seems posed to be the decade when rap music really crosses over to high energy club, whether as is, with Grime (
Wiley,
Dizzie Rascal) and Crunk (
Li'l Wayne and
Timbaland, appearing on this set with
Carry Out), or as dance reproductions or collaboration among gangsta rap acts (Pitbull, Kid Cudi) and club artists (
David Guetta's
One Love album is rife with these sounds, and then there's
Boris reproducing
Pitbull. Who would have thunk, but
Boris and
Pitbull in
Take You There kicks club ass!).

What is Grime? Also weezy and timberland aren't crunk. So i'm just curious to know if you are aware what categorizes hip hop, if you are going to include them on your House reviews. I understand House music is your main primacy, but you may mislead your readers. Kid Cudi is the furthest thing from gangsta rap, and pitbull, sad to say is glorifying in a genre he dubbed himself with.

Dear Defamation Nation:
Maybe musical style versus musical form, and music category versus genre or sub-genre, will someday be part of the discussions the next time your mama holds a tupperware party.
But I'll tell you this. I am a contributor to World Music WikiProject and an avid Google user. And although I am also a real fierce dancer, of course I don't know what the heck I'm talking about! But it looks like you don't know either! :-p
Maybe we'll have a better discussion if the music sub-genre we were talking about is punk. Anyway, thanks for your comment.
This devotion gives me cuthie tickles lashkanana!
