Finding the Rhythm

Once again, my task list has exceeded the available clock cycles the past few weeks, and the chart updates are lagging. I just got them current this morning. Yay!

Not surprisingly, the amazing Carol Hahn is in the #1 position with her awesome new single, I Can Stop the Rain. I just love Carol’s work, and this new track is arguably her very best yet.

I’ve been spinning Sleeping Satellite, the latest from France’s Junior Caldera, for weeks. People love the track, and I’m surprised how many people remember Tanita Tikarim’s original. OceanLab (Above & Beyond) covered this as Satellite a few years ago to good effect, but I really love Caldera’s superb take on the song. Interestingly, Polydor Records have been promoting dance tracks very vigorously to DJs, and yet, the music isn’t for sale anywhere… Not Amazon, not iTunes, not any of the other “usual suspects” for digital music sales. I don’t get it.

Damien J. Carter and Damien Heck’s incredible Glacier in the Sun holds the #3 position. I just cannot get enough of this one (as I blogged last week, I believe). It’s an incredible track.

CAPP Records’ latest European import comes from Andrew Spencer (Zombie and To Be With You) and Lazard, and it’s a cover of 3 Doors Down’s track Here Without You. Lots of great mixes, and people really dig this track. It’s at #6.

Two more noteworthy tracks. At #9 is John Kano amazing I’m Done With the Pain, another track that like Glacier in the Sun has so much going for it, it’s gonna get played for a long time to come. And at #10, my buddy Mike Bordes (a great NYC DJ) with his new track Don’t Know What U Got with Angela Severiano, which plays well and has gotten a great reaction.

Enjoy…
