Love it with you

Another one of my favorite tracks at the moment is also from a returning 90's eurodance star, Captain Hollywood. Best known for the hit "More And More".

His latest "It Hurts With You" is a perfect mix of pop and electro hitting it right where it hurts good.

Actually most of the 90's dance names returning these years with new material are doing a h*** of a lot better than the ones just updating their old hits if you ask me!

Touch of an element

I've previously written about Basic Element and how much I was looking forward to a new album. Well now it's here, at least in Poland where it have been released. I'm hoping it soon will hit other countries so it will be a bit easier to get the hold of.

It includes the current hit-single "Touch You Right Now":



One of my absolutely favorite tracks at the moment and a big radio hit in Basic Element's homeland Sweden.

The new album "The Truth" seems to follow the excellent style found on the comeback album "The Empire Strikes Back" and also includes the single "Feelings".

If you believe in fudge...

If you are a regular reader you know I've started to produce music myself together with a friend under the alias Copenhagen Bass. Very soon we will release our second single including lots of remixes and a music video.

While waiting for the remixes and video to be finished we ourself have remixed a track by another artist. The debut single by danish house artist F.U.D.G.E.



The track "If You Believe In Love (Copenhagen Bass Electro Mix)" is out through Oryx Music and will be available together with the original and other remixes on Beatport, Juno Download and DJDownload in february 2009.

There I'll be

All through the winter I've been enjoying the fabulous DJ Project track "Wherever U Go" so i decided to share it with you:



Hope you like it as much as me. If you do then chek out other song by DJ Project like "Before I Sleep" or "Tell Me Why".

Eurodance and house podcast

Just a little self promotion...

I'm doing a weekly radioshow on a local radio in Copenhagen, Denmark. The show is packed with music, lots of eurodance, Hi-NRG and mainstream house and trance. Both new and old. And just a little bit of talk in between the music.

You can listen to "Dance 98,9" (as the show is called) as podcast. Send a mail to anders(a)ch-radio.dk with the subject "Subscribe" and every second week or so you'll recieve link to download of two new shows as mp3. Each 1½ hour long and around 80Mb of size. Send "Unsubscribe" to the same mail to stop recieving downloads.

You can also go to the radios homepage www.ch-radio.dk/dance to read more and catch a list of my monthly Top 5 charts. The page is in danish but should be quite easy to navigate without any knowledge of danish and the links and charts info doesn't really need translation :-)

Musical gold

Last but not least in my little Belgium series is the duo Sylver who had a major breakthrough in 2000 with the fabulous "Turn The Tide":



It was followed by another big hit single for them "Forgiven", one of my favorites of theirs. And also the recommendable album "Chances".



Sylver have been and still is active, releasing lots of great tracks. Another one of my favorites is "Why Worry":

Inspirational

Staying in Belgium and the mainstream trance/eurotrance scene, worth a mention is also Ian Van Dahl.

With a major break through tune "Castles In The Sky" it was impossible not to notice Ian Van Dahl when they first appeared in 2000.

And when the follow ups "Will I?" and "Reason" was just as good, I had to get the album "Ace" which didn't disappoint.

Some years later they where warming up to the second album with a bit more housy sound on the excellent "Inspiration" which became one of my favorites of 2005.

And even though the album "Lost & Found" wasn't as good as the first it did spawn another great single "I Can't Let You Go".

Unfortunately "Lost & Found" was the last we heard of Ian Van Dahl except for the two amazing tracks "Movin' On" and "Just A Girl".

But fortunately the members are still active in other projects as well as new ones.
