Some of the best club music comes from Europe.  I am glad to be going there this weekend.  Instinct ran this Music for a Eurodance party and this was the countdown I meant to put up the other day instead of the Dance like a robot countdown.  This is still some of the best all-time club mixes.   One thing missing from this list is (Take Me Away) Into The Night by 4 Strings who by the way is bad ass live.  4 Strings is on the EuroDance compilation sold on Amazon.com.

You can also buy lots of these mixes on Masterbeat.com which by far the best gay dance site online where you can buy Britney to the latest from diva Kristine W.

1. Snap! - Rhythm is A Dancer
2. Captain Hollywood Project - More and More
3. Real McCoy - Another Night
4. Livin’ Joy - (I’m a) Dreamer
5. D:Ream - U R The Best Thing
6. Corona - (This is the) The Rhythm of The Night
7. Culture Beat - (Calling) Mr. Vain
8. 2 Unlimited - No Limit
9. Alex Party - Don’t Give Me Your Life
10. The Tamperer Featuring Maya - Feel It
11. Amber - This Is Your Night [Diva Alert!!]
12. Nicki French - Total Eclipse of the Heart
13. Ace of Base - Beautiful Life
14. Gina G. - Ooh Ahh… Just A Little Bit
15. Urban Cookie Collective - The Key, The Secret
16. Electronic - Disappointed
17. La Bouche - Sweet Dreams
18. Everything But The Girl - Missing (Todd Terry Remix)
19. Pet Shop Boys - Absolutely Fabulous
20. Real McCoy - Run Away

Actually, I am not sure what is so Euro about this list.  it sounds like my list of the all time favorite club anthems from the early 2000’s (some of them) and late 90’s.  Awesome list from Instinct.  Now lets go Masterbeat!

I could sit and watch videos for hours and not be turned on as much as this video did it for me.  Michelle Williams has delivered one of the hottest videos of the year with some HOT dancing.  Parts of the video remind me of the Madonna Hung Up performance when they pick her up and do lots of group moves.

Sadly, I do not think I have heard this song in the club (or maybe I was intoxicated at that point lol).  I have heard it on XM BPM and Sirius The Beat.  I noticed the video on LOGO The Click List where they play the top 10 videos it was at number 5.  The Perry Twins had a good video on LOGO also ranked at number 7.  LOGO is more of a Lesbian channel but you get the Gay stuff on there now and then =)

Anyway, here is the new video from Michelle Williams "We Break The Dawn".  I just love the choreography… its so good I can hear that lady from So You Think You Can Dance screaming up and down in the background!

If you are craving some robotic beats instinct magazine (instinctmagazine.com) recently listed some interesting picks under a top 20 list.  They entitled it "music for robots"

1. Visage - Fade to Grey
2. Felix Da Housecat & Miss Kittin - Madame Hollywood
3. Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
4. Hoku - Another Dumb Blonde
5. Kylie Minogue - Speakerphone
6. Woldorf - You’re my Disco
7. Robyn - Robotboy
8. Midnight Star - Freak-a-zoid
9. Kraftwork - Computer Love
10. Pet Shop Boys - Music for Boys
11. Johan Agebjorn - Spacer Women from Mars
12. Annie - Chewing Gum
13. Opus III - Fine Day (one of the best tunes ever)
14. Britney Spears - Pieces of Me
15. Cascada - many of their songs!
16. Daft Punk - Digital Love
17. Chris Brown - Forever
18. Aqua - Barbie Girl
19. Herbie Hancock - Rock It:Talk about MTV back in the early days… I thought this was Axel F that did this mix. Wait why is Axel F not on this list? You know the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack theme I think it was called Harold Faltermeyer.
20. Ladytron - Seventeen

If we are looking at songs that have that electro feel then there are many Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, and Erasure songs that could be on the list.

Here are some of the best mixes I have heard so far that I bet will be big this summer on XM’s BPM, Sirius The Beat, Circuit parties, and nightclubs.

Some new remixes out of note are Tracy Young and Ceevox - Whats Done is Done that seems to be creeping up the Billboard chart.
If you want a few good online radio stations to listen to try out GayInternetRadioLive.com, BoysTownLive.com and PNNRadio.com just to name a few.

This boy is just too hot. Jesse McCartney who freshly turned 21 and is now legal to drink is bringing sexy back with a new video Leavin’. I have not been fortunate enough (hint hint) to hear this in a club yet but I am sure it will be huge especially in the video bars.

Here is a remix to the new single and a video that is too hot for this blog. This is the Solar city remix.
(the video ‘remix’ version was taken down)

It has been some time since we had so many good hits out at once. People have complained for the last year that the clubs have went too much on the hardcore hip-hop side or too much on the jungle/trance side (not enough in between). Nothing gets the club crowd underneath the mirrorball faster than some good diva music. This is maybe why the music we have been begging for is finally coming out.

Madonna and Mariah Carey recently broke Elvis Presley in the record book this week with their new singles. Mariah’s new song “Touch My Body” made her 18th chart-topper on Billboard. “Touch My Body” is a very hot club hit. A song we have been hearing in clubs like wildfire is Madonna’s new song with Justin Timberlake which also beat out the records of Elvis with a jump of 68 to number three. This would be Madonna’s 37th top 10 with “4 minutes (to save the world).”

Janet Jackson the dancing diva is also getting lots of club play which peaked at number two on the hot dance club play charts. It also peaked at number one on the billboard 200 album chart. Kylie Minogue is also back this month with “X”.

What about the other Divas who frequently support the Gay community such as Deborah Cox and Kristine W? Kristine W. is doing great with “The Boss” where she scored a number one and Deborah Cox recently topped XM Music 2007 BPM annual dance chart with “Everybody Dance”.

You can hear most of this good music on the Beat (ch. 36) on Sirius radio. I have also heard some good beats lately from Chris Cox (Boys Night Out - Thursdays) and DJ Johnny Budz on XM Radio.

Madonna’s new cd “Hard Candy” comes out April 29. If you are a big Madonna fan you will not want to miss the biggest Madonna-Rama of the year with DJ Ed Bailey at Southbeach in Houston April 26th. It is an event that is big in multi-media proportions and the party will probably be the biggest ever. Let’s hope the local radio stations do not hear of this event… I tried to get the Madonna event in Dallas but never heard back from anyone (I suppose they do not want to book it in other cities or just have a contract with Houston?)…

Speaking of Divas we noticed today that Taylor Dayne has topped the Hot Dance Club Play this week on Billboard magazine. You can catch Taylor Dayne who was recently announced as the headliner of One Mighty Party at Disney’s MGM Studios (event is 18+) held on Saturday, June 7, 2008.

The year of 2007 went by way too fast. I am not sure why Madonna thinks time goes by so slowly because it seems like I was writing a dance chart for 2006 was just yesterday. There have been many songs at the clubs this year that made my adrenaline get pumped up on the dancefloor.  I think one of the greatest highs came from a top 40 song released from that most gorgeous girl Rihanna “Umbrella”.  “Umbrella” came out at a time when I was out of town and had a friend try to commit and it really helped me release things dancing to this song and though about him.  I think it’s a great song that has so much meaning about friendship or love.  I think any song with amazing lyrics or a beat that helps you release stress or dance away frustrations is what I like to hear most in a club or in the car.

Not only did I hear lots of good dance music in the club this year but on Sirius Radio’s The Beat channel which played lots of great music including good Madonna mixes.  I bought a new car this year that had XM Radio and it sadly did not have this Beat channel but had a dance station called BPM which is comparable but not good enough – it is more non-vocal and less gay divas.  I miss my divas such as Kristine W (kristinew.com).  The BPM does have some good mixes of the new Cascade song “When It Hurts,” and the new Paul Van Dyk song.

The American Idol contestants took over the awards shows and over the mainstream billboard charts but they did not take over the dance floor this year.  No American Idol has surpassed the club play of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You Been Gone,” which I think is one of the best energetic club songs of all time… everyone dances to that song!  Although, Jordin Sparks Tattoo remix and Change by Kimberley Locke were great club plays.

Some of the coolest new sounds were from Ida Corr “Let Me Think About It (Fedde Le Grand Remix)” and Round & Round (Electro Edit) from Mischa Daniels.  I also liked Peter Rauhofer’s version of Say It Right.

1. Gimme More (Paul Oakenfold remix) - Britney Spears
2. Umbrella (Rafael Lelis Club Remix 2007) – Rihanna
3. Walk Away (Tony Moran Mix) - Kristine W
4. U + Ur Hand (Bimbo Jones mix) - Pink
5. Jump (Jacques Lu Cont Mix) - Madonna
6. White Lies - Paul Van Dyk Featuring Jessica Sutta
7. Everybody Dance (Tony Moran) - Deborah Cox
8. Do It (HCCR Remix) - Nelly Furtado
9. LoveStoned (Tiesto remix) - Justin Timberlake
10. Rehab - Amy Winehouse tied In My Arms (Bimbo Jones) - Plumb

Hot Picks for 2008-

• Cascada – What Hurts The Most
• Britney Spears – Toy Soldier
• Inez - Stronger (Jody den Broeder Remix)
• Madonna releases a new album (Spring 2008)

If you have not done so already you may want to buy a cd from Masterbeat.com since they are closing them all out to build their “future” site of downloads only.  I noticed the cd’s are only $10 bucks each featuring lots of good stuff you cannot find on the radio or on your local myspace player.

Please Don’t Stop The Music =)

Can’t make it out to the club? You can now post a code into your MySpace or your website that plays dance hits. I stumbled across this cool device on the Undercurrent MySpace page (a bar in Galveston,TX) and love it.
