Last Goodbye?

One of the saddest news in music this summer was that Da Buzz announced on their homepage that they are taking a break.

For two years we haven't really heard anything from them and when we do it's this sad announcement. If they do come back sometime in the future it will probably not be for a long time, even though I truly hope they will have second thoughts and return soon.

I can't really understand why they never made it big big... And after September had her success with "Cry For You" one should think that Da Buzz would have quite a chance as they can be said to be somewhat similar in style and have at least a handful of tracks with the same potential.

Well from here comes a big "Thank You!" for five great albums and a "Greatest Hits" album. Hope to see you back sometime in the future!



What better way to accompany this post with their great "Last Goodbye".

Just do it, do it, do it

Speaking of Bob Sinclar he has just released a new summer tune! It just screams happy, happy, joy joy!



"Lala Song" featuring Sugarhill Gang (or actually Master Gee & Wonder Mike from Sugarhill Gang) was actually a bit of a disappointment to me when I first heard it, but it has growed tremendously on me and continues to do so. So much it is probably my favorite song at the moment!

Yes, Bob Sinclar have just like David Guetta found the formula that tickles me.

Then this takes over

Here's another new one and once again it somehow hints towards the fact that I do have my favorites.



David Guetta Featuring Kelly Rowland "When Love Takes Over" is one of David Guetta's best, only beaten by "Love Is Gone" and maybe one or two other from his album "Pop Life". And once again he shows how well he now masters the perfect blend of house and pop, just like fellow frenchman Bob Sinclar.

No blame on Sweden

Well, just taking a quick break away from my series of hidden and forgotten eurodance gems, here's a new track which once again proved that when it comes to music I should've been born in Sweden...

It's Gathania with her new single "Blame It On You":



Having heard the song and not knowing anything about her, just that I loved the song and it without doubt is the track I've been playing the most for the last month or so. I started to do some research and of course she and her producers are from Sweden! They just know what to hit us with!

If this one doesn't end up becomming a massive hit across Europe there is no justice anymore (or people have just lost their musical taste)...

You saved my soul in the dark of the night

One of the many eurodance acts which where quite big back in the days (the (mid) 90's) but have now more or less been forgotten by the general public is E-rotic. Yet again an act I'm sure I will be returning to as they did release some great tracks.

E-rotic being somewhat a forgotten gem themself I could give you one of the great songs that made me fall in love with them, like "Fred Come To Bed" or "Sex On The Phone". But besides the music still being great, the lyrics and corny moans really haven't aged that well, so instead I will give you one of my favorites of theirs:

"In The Dark Of The Night" was one of the new tracks taken from their best of album "Greatest Tits" from 1998. One of the few albums I've bought without really knowing most of the songs. But I knew enough and wasn't disappointed. "In The Dark Of The Night" was worth the entire album in it self, but there is a lot of other great stuff on it as well.

Heart of dance

I actually can't believe I haven't mentioned Maxx before! There's no doubt I will get back to them again as they are the ones behind such amazing songs as "No More (I Can't Stand It)" and "Get-A-Way"... Simply amazing!

But for now it's about the hidden gem that is "Heart Of Stone":



One of my favorites of theirs and a song I have had as my mobile ring tone for the past year and a half. And I still love it!

I can't believe it wasn't released as a single back in the days I'm sure it would have done better than some of their other singles.

I'm thinking of them

There's no underestimating the impact 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor had on the eurodance-scene in the 90's and their influence on my taste in music as well.

I've already covered their fantastic "Dreams (Will Come Alive)"
- one of my alltime favorites - and could mention a lot of their other songs which are also on my list of classics!

But for now it's about the more hidden gems and one of their tracks which have been somewhat forgotten and in my opinion is a bit underrated is "I'm Thinkin' Of U":



2 Brothers On The 4th Floor had the most succes with their singles from the first album "Dreams" and what came afterwards has mostly been hits in their homeland and a few other markets. In Denmark they have been mostly invisible since the first album which is probably why it's only within the last five years I've come to know "I'm Thinkin' Of U". But I love it that's for sure!
