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!).
