Finding the Rhythm

My Top 25 Dance Chart was posted yesterday, covering through last Friday. While Danny Saucedo is stuck at #1 yet again this week, there are some other interesting things to talk about:

• The absolutely amazing track Everytime from Daisy is climbing up quickly. There’s just nothing not to like about this track, especially as remixed by Buzz Junkies, which is the version I play. It’s a good track in general, and Daisy’s vocal are terrific. But Buzz Junkies did such an outstanding, energetic treatment of the song, it’s hard not to jump to one’s feet the moment it comes-on… The mark of any good remix, I think.
• The Perry Twins have a great song out right now called Bad, Bad Boy. There are a zillion different mixes of the song (probably too many), but it does give a lot to choose from. Regardless, however, the song is strong, and the vocals of Niki Haris (misspelled on my chart, I just noticed) are terrific, soulful, and fun.
• Next Plateau have been move heavily promoting their dance releases lately, and they’ve been working some amazing tracks. Including Steelers feat. Naomi, with Time 2 Wait. I can’t quite put my finger on what I like about this one, except it’s just… Fun… Bouncy. The vocals work well, and I dig the production work. Unfortunately, the only mixes I have are a vocal radio edit and a mis-labeled extended dub from their promo CD, but they meshed nicely in Ableton to form the custom extended vocal mix I was looking for. 
• Casa have just released a single from Vincent Medugno, titled We Are Meant to Be. Rather confidently promoted as “Billboard bound,” I think they’re right. I favor the Georgie Porgie remix, but Vincent’s vocals are good, the songwriting is solid, and I agree this one’s destined for the Billboard charts in the coming weeks. Great track indeed.

We’ll see what pops-up next time. Have a great week.
