Welcome to the annual holiday non-stop dance series X-mas Dance for 2019! I spent the better part of Thanksgiving working on this set because dinner wasn’t served until 7pm. I had been busy scrounging my DJ service and various SoundCloud accounts to create this year’s offering of holiday dance music favorites and really think I hit this one out of the park.

I went back this morning to ensure the integrity of the set and made some minor changes that only I would notice. If I’m happy — then I know y’all will be.

I’ve got all your favorite tracks that have appeared on various iterations of X-mas Dance over the years and scooped several new entries. I also added a few that only appeared once over the years. I also want to give a HUGE shout-out to our good friends from Mark D and JD Arnold a.k.a. Dirty Disco for sending me an advance copy of this year’s entry into the holiday dance music landscape, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” by the fabulous Debby Holiday. I’ve been begging them to update the Weather Girls classic “Dear Santa (Bring Me A Man This Christmas,” but they completely forgot. Mark is all on board and promised to deliver their version next year.

In the interim, I came across this fantastic version by Raquela in my DJ service and ran with it. The vocals are spot on and her version delivers a circuit-friendly re-work that stays true to the original, even if it could use a bit more energy.

Overall, I think this year’s X-mas Dance is the best one I’ve put together to date. From the serious and the solemn to the camp (without being too over the top) — this delivers the cheer to brighten up your holidays.

I’ve got the rest of December all mapped out and may even try to squeeze in the final Ultimate 80’s Dance Mix this next week. Expect a head-spinning succession of new releases (including the highly anticipated Year In Dance and Blow Your Own Horn) by the end of the month.

I want to give a HUGE shout-out to our good friend Glenn A. from the UK for his kind donation. They are always welcome as I’m not exactly getting rich from the subscription service.

Until the next time…ENJOY!

For The People | Songs From The Underground

House Music, Tech HouseAnd the music keeps rolling with our final Underground House set of the year. Once again, this newly minted set pulls from a wide variety of genres to keep listeners, ravers and party-goers engaged. From Tech House, Bass House, Trance, Drum and Bass, and everything in between — “For the People” delivers the party and then some.

Things kick off slowly with the Danny Darko and Julien Kelland remake of the Rolling Stones classic “Paint It Black.” This is one of the darker tracks in the Stone’s catalog (next to “Gimme Shelter”) and Danny Darko takes it even darker. There was a remix contest for the original and frankly, all the remixes officially picked for this release were excellent.

“Paint It Black” is followed by NERVO & Skazi’s rework of the more recent “Faded” by Zhu — an equally dark track that put Zhu on the map. It’s rare that a recent hit song like this gets a remake but this version is better than the original.

From there, things pick up as we move into the warehouse rave party you came here for. There are plenty of twists and turns in this set with much of it mashed to keep things flowing until we get to the next hard break and switch gears.

I enjoy making the Underground House mixes because the music options are limitless and it gives me greater creative control over what to use and decide on the direction I want to take. Not complaining about the other sets I make, which are by far more popular but I enjoy being able to stretch things to their limit.

Here in the United States, everyone is gearing up for Thanksgiving and I hope y’all have an enjoyable holiday with friends and family. I plan on dropping something special for Black Friday to help everyone get in the mood for power shopping, putting up holiday decorations, or just zoning out. I’m fairly certain y’all can figure it out. Just know that I plan on making it extra special this year.

Until then…ENJOY!
