Angie Stone “Bottles & Cans” (Guido Osorio Club Mix)  ~  Don’t let the song title fool you; this isn’t a jingle for your local recycling center nor is it an ebonics anthem for your favorite malt liquor.  It’s actually an incredibly beautiful love song and, undoubtedly,  will be one of the top songs of 2003!  Angie took the club scene by storm in 2002 with “Wish I Didn’t Miss You”, which was considered by many to be the #1 dance song of the year.

    Whitney Houston “Try It On My Own” (Thunderpuss Mixes)  ~  Whitney returns to the uplifting inspirational sound that captured our hearts so many years ago with songs like “The Greatest Love Of All”.  In classic form, Thunderpuss provides an energetic club anthem sound that perfectly compliments Whitney’s delicate vocals.

    Celine Dion “I Drove All Night” (Hex Hector & Dezrock Mix)  ~  “Oh my… No she didn’t… Is that the Cyndi Lauper song???” is most people’s reaction when they first see this and the answer is – yes!  Unfortunately it’s been getting mixed reviews, so if you’re a big fan of the original you might not like this version.  It took a while for it to grow on me and now I can’t get the darn thing out of my head.  Hex Hector and Dezrock do a great job as usual on the music.

    Dawn Tallman is back once again to deliver her newest Affirmation Anthem entitled “Let It Go”.  I love this woman!  Every year she returns with yet another great dance song that not only moves our feet but lifts our spirits as well. This time is no exception with fantastic mixes by Lee Cabrera and Jeff Poirier & John LePage.

    Pepper Mashay “I Can’t Stop” (Giuseppe D Mix)  ~  The pool diving diva is back with a new club hit that’s sure to get your body movin’.  This is 100% pure diva dance music at it’s best!

    Solange “Feelin You” (Calderone & Mac Quayle Club Mix)  ~  Victor Calderone and Mac Quayle tear it up with deep hard sexy synths & thick big room drums.  You’ll be feelin’ the energy on the dance floor from this song for sure!

    MPress  “Time Out” (Sandeep C. & Wild Bill Circuit Club Mix)  ~  This talented new remixing duo gives this song a high energy anthem makeover that’s worthy of seasoned producers.

    Another up & coming remixing team that’s been turning it out lately is Vibelicious (www.vibelicious.com).  Recent remixes include Taylor Dayne “How Many” (Vibelicious Mix), Kelly Rowland “Can't Nobody” (Jones & Batten 80's Flash Back Mix), Craig David – “What's Your Flava” (Jones & Garcia Club Mix) and my personal favorite, the gospelicious Ramiyah “Turn It Out” (Jones & Batten Club Mix). 

    Robbins Entertainment scores a major hit with their new release - Katrina Ruiz "You're Gonna Miss Me" (Jonathan Peters / Rob Girellini / Al B. Rich)  ~  All 3 mixes are Outstanding!!!  JP drops the noise and returns to his glory days of Epic Anthems.  Rob Girellini turns it out with his hard hitting club sound that made me fall in love with him originally with his mix of Whitney Houston’s "Fine".  I've always loved Al B Rich mixes but this has to be their best one yet! I kid you not that all 3 of these mixes are great and this song is going to be HUGE!!

    La Bouche “In Your Life” (Dezrock / Shane 54)  ~  In loving memory of Melanie Thornton who died in a plane crash a little over a year ago at the height of her singing career, Logic Records is releasing this song with brand new remixes.   Dezrock dishes up his usual fierce club sound while Shane 54 kicks in with a high energy trance remix.

    Madonna vs Vengaboys “Kiss Of Light”  (Dam Mad Tunes DMC Remix)  ~  This hot new remixing team from the UK breathes new life into two club classics, Madonna’s “Ray Of Light” and Airscape’s mix of Vengaboy’s “Kiss”!  Check out www.mozmorris.com  for upcoming remixes. 

    Thunderpuss & Barnes “Head” (Chris Cox / Barry Harris / Widelife / Thick Dick / Allison:Dresden / Paul Grace mixes)  ~  Unfortunately for all you horny boys, “Head” isn’t a verb in this song.  For the rest of us (no comments from peanut gallery, thank you!) this is yet another hot release from dance music’s elite, Thunderpuss.  While all of the mixes are great, my two favorites are Chris Cox’s & Paul Grace’s.  Both mixes possess a funky retro-electro progressive house sound.  Chris Cox’s mix is a high energy hands in the air fusion of Dead or Alive, Nine Inch Nails and Pink Floyd.  Paul Grace’s Welcome To The 80’s mix takes a lower key (but not lower energy) approach sounding like a modern day mixture of Yaz and Kraftwerk.

    t.A.T.u. “Not Gonna Get Us” (Dave Aude / Richard Morel)  ~  Following their US Debut “All The Things She Said”, T.A.T.U. is back with another smash hit!  Dave Aude’s mix is synth soaring trance heaven while Richard Morel’s Pink Noise mix digs into the deep trance groove.
