“I Lost My Way” Mr. Groove (Pure Funk)
This track is beautiful. Beautiful vocal. Beautiful production. Polished, moving and very ripe for airplay
as well as for you dance floor. If you are a fan of Kaskade, Morgan Page, etc. this will be right up your alley. With the right support from radio Hot Mixers, this could make an easy way into rotation. Great stuff!
“Anywhere” Rita Ora (Atlantic)
Rita Ora delivers a cute single with mixes that cover a lot of ground. The Original version is in the Kygo vain. The Willy William Mix serves up that Boriqua Beat so popular for decades in Puerto Rico but newly discovered by the world since “Despacito”. The Charlie Lane mix is the one for commercial House heads!
“I Don’t Know” E.J. (RMG Music)
This super strong track recently peaked at #2 on our charts! It is still in the Top10. Maybe a little TLC will still take it to the top. The StoneBridge & Damian Hall Epic Mix is peak-of-the-evening hi-nrg goodness. The DJ Strobe mix serves us up a bit of Timmy Regisford-ish Disco on the Garage tip. Both fabulous mixes!
“Lay Me Down” by Luca Debonaire & SoulShaker ft. Killington
(Tazmania Records)
You could strip down this vocal and throw it over the Muscle Shoals Sounds and it would be 1968 all over again. In fact Killington sounds like Tina Turner if she were a man. They serve you with a number of mixes that all do their thing but, this track is all about that vocal. Good stuff from the New Jersey label that is giving you the world.

“Quantum” by JP Lantieri (Flemcy Music)
Flemcy Music gives us the “Distance E.P.” Of three tracks, the strongest is “Quantum” by JP Lantieri. It’s a mid-tempo Tech-House track that if you listen carefully reminds you of Gino Soccio! Gino’s influence is all under this track with a groove right out of his classic hit “Remember.” Funky and Tech-House savvy. A great effort!
“We Got Love” by Shanahan ft. Arielle (Enhanced Music)
Enhanced gives us a super solid vocal House track. There is something very “Beyonce” about Arielle’s vocal. The song structure also sounds like something out of the Destiny’s Child songbook. All of that over a beautifully produced House track and we got love for sure!
“Right Now” by Styline & Mojavee (The Power House)
Stop reading this right now and get up on the zipDJ site and grab this! What a smoking track! The Original Mix is a super funky piece of House goodness you cannot be without! Then the GM SexyBack remix takes it up a notch! These Power House people are NOT playing around. This is serious House hit material!
“Lullaby” by Sigala & Paloma Faith (Ultra Music)
Ultra seems to have hit their creative apex over the last few months with a number of tunes that perfectly straddle the line between pop & dance! “Lullaby” is their next release right in that lane. This tune is so good it sounds like a TV commercial. Positive, pristine and polished. Run this one with “The Middle” by Zedd and your dance floor will live!

“Adrenaline” Kynt (Kynt)
New Orleans performer Kynt returns with quite possibly his strongest single to date. “Adrenaline” is uptempo, funky and full of personality.
Check out the Global Tribal Circuit Club Mix and for something a bit thicker and funkier, try the Latino Soul Mix.
“Dancing By Morning” Pton ft. Natalie Ana (IBZ Music)
IBZ Records strikes again! We love Natalie Ana’s vocals served up in two very different mixes! The first Club Mix is super strong and uplifting and when the chorus hits, up go your hands!
The Jack Eye Jones mix includes a real saxophone!
“Walk In Silence” Emily Perry (Dauman Music)
3 mixes to choose from! California’s Dave Mathias gives us a 2-Step-House Hybrid, Mixin’ Marc Stout & Scott Svedja from Chicago have their finger on Commercial House and finally, Jesus Montanez is over the top with an Afro-Cuban, late 90’s style Circuit-Tribal Remix that would make Dirty Disco bite the pillow! Flawless!
“IDGAF” (Dirty Disco Mixes) Dua Lipa (Atlantic)
Speaking of Dirty Disco, they just delivered serious kick-ass mixes of one of our current favorites from Dua Lipa. They serve us with a clean version and our favorite the Dirty Disco Mainroom Remix which comes complete with language to fray that last nerve of yours. Dua Lipa is here to let you have it – and she does. Love it!

“Sublime” by Kendra Erika (Dauman)
Dauman Music has a potential hit on their hands with “Sublime” by Kendra Erika. They serve us three sets of mixes from Dave Aude, Marc Stout & Scott Svedjda and Sted-E & Hybrid Heights! If you are looking for a hot vocal track look no further.
“The Storm” by Luca Bertoni (Ego)
“The Storm” is a great follow-up to “With The Sun.” This is a House track but Luca’s vocals and the song structure remind us of all those Italo Disco records we loved back in the day from artist like Den Harrow & Gary Low. Listen for the vocal ad lib which you will swear is Sting! Great stuff!
“It’s Your Time To Party” by Dwayne W. Tyree (Karmic Power)
If you like your House chug-a-lugging like a percolator, this one is for you! This is chunky, funky ass-shaking House music y’all! The vocals are purposely rough and molasses sweet. The 90’s Italo synth stabs are simply the bees knees! We dare your floor not to dance!
“Got To Have Loving” by Don Ray (Polydor – Dance Classics)
Barry Harris has remixed one of our most beloved Disco Classics. If you are familiar with the original you will love his “Got To Have Loving” by Don Ray. It is everything you loved about the original, but pumped up with a bigger bottom so you can seamlessly mix it in with today’s tracks! But wait there is more… check out ALL our Dance Classics in the advanced label search!

“Mas Que Nada” by Styline & Raul Mendes (The Power House)
Styline & Raul Medes take a shot at the Sergio Mendes classic “Mas Que Nada” and knock it out the ball park. The two mixes here – Original and Kid Massive mix – are similar but the Kid Massive mix hits a little harder. You really can’t go wrong with source material like this release but they certainly elevated it for 2018!
“Long Way Home” by Two Lanes (PRMD)
In its Original form, this is a cool, moody chill track. However, they also provide us with a number of worthwhile mixes. The Elenna Extended Remix is a straight forward House track that moves well. The Jetique Fixed Extended mix is similar with a bit of a retro vibe. Cool stuff we recommend you check out.
“Pray For Me” by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar (Interscope)
This is the lead-off single from the blockbuster “The Black Panther.” Let us save you a lot of time and direct you straight to the Barry Harris mixes! Barry Harris takes the best of this track and transforms it into a dance floor filler. This is commercial house music at its best! Something totally familiar to keep the dancers happy!
“I Know You” by Craig David ft. Bastille (RCA)
The man who brought us 2-Step teams up with Bastille to deliver a pop tune with the right amount of polish and a super strong hook. Sultan & Shepard provide a strong House mix, a little soulful with a slant to the tech side. Like the single from The Weeknd, here we have a template for how to turn a downtempo pop tune into a floor packing club track. Great work!
