The August '24 edition of UP! hits hard from start to finish. Kicking off the set is the awesome Tony Moran remix of "Keep You Waiting" by Max Rae. Tony Moran features another excellent remix later in the set for KRU & Cha Cha Malone. We lost an iconic diva recently with the passing of Evelyn Thomas. She was huge in the club scene particularly in the 80's and 90's with hits like High Energy and Reflections. I've included her later hit "Stick To The Plan" with a brilliant Wayne G & Porl Young remix. The always amazing Dirty Disco features two killer mixes for Chappell Roan and Kesha respectively. Henriq Moraes is turning out some excellent circuit remixes and there are three of his featured here. Becky Hill's "Outside Of love" is one of my favourite songs this year. Toy Armada & Jace M deliver a stellar remix of "Shy Boy" by Carly Rae Jepsen and Kylie Minogue teams up with The Blessed Madonna on "Edge Of Saturday Night". Russ Rich and Andy Allder produce yet another beautiful remix for Taylor Swift's latest, "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" to close out this month's edition of UP! Enjoy

Welcome to Pride Anthems volume 13. It must be June - the traditional Pride month around the world. This years Pride celebrations have come under attack, particularly in the USA from predominantly Christian conservative groups. These people don't like the idea of a section of the community carving out a living space for themselves and seem to be jealous of our innate ability to have a fabulous time while supporting each other against their prejudice. Our community is very diverse and very accepting of pretty much everyone. So in that spirit, I present to you the 2024 edition of Pride Anthems. Was there ever a more appropriately titled song than ABBA's "Dancing Queen"? The Jackers Revenge remix of it is awesome and kicks off the set. I wanted the track selection on this set to reflect empowerment and freedom of choice in life and love. These 21 songs do that I believe. Some are classic dance floor anthems such as "Touch Me", "Hot Stuff", "Believe" and "Searchin". Others have been purposefully written and recorded for the community such as "Fight On" and "Chosen Family". Included are hit songs from Whitney, Mariah, Rihanna, Taylor, and of course, Kylie. Remixes come from across the spectrum with standouts from Division 4, Moto Blanco and 7th Heaven. The wonderful Mark from Dirty Disco once again came to my rescue and generously forwarded me some advance mixes as well as a private one. I always seem to be thanking him in my comments but I truly mean it Mark. There is drive and energy in this set which is indicative of the LGBTQ+ community. Happy Pride month everyone. Enjoy

Moving on with the 'Best Of' series, I present to you the Freemasons. This dynamic duo consists of producer/DJ's James Wiltshire and Russell Small. James has also produced under the pseudonym 'Jimmy Gomez' and Russell is one half of Phatts & Small. Both me hail from Great Britain and from what I can gather, hit notoriety with their remixes around 2005 or so. Their original song "Love On My Mind" was released at this time and had major chart success in the UK. That same year they had commercial success in the USA with their massive club mix of "Mesmerized" by Faith Evans. During the 2000's and 2010's they continued to release their own original tracks featuring artists such as Katherine Ellis, Amanda Wilson, Sylvia Mason-James, Siedah Garrett and Peyton as well as remix for international artists such as Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, George Michael and Beyonce` to name a few. Similar to 7th Heaven, the Freemasons have an understanding of how to take a song and spin it into a dance floor anthem. Signature house rhythm's and funky beats underscore the journey that is a Freemason remix. There are no 3 minute 'extended' mixes with these guys. Taking you on a journey on the dance floor is their specialty and I am here for it. I had to filter a serious number of awesome mixes to come up with this compilation which features 34 songs clocking in at just over 4 hours. Feast your ears on the brilliance that is Freemason. Enjoy

I didn't realize that it has been six weeks since I posted my last episode. A mistake I've remedied with the (slightly late) April 2024 edition of UP! This set starts off with a string of commercial vocal house hits and transitions into full on main room madness. Kicking off the set is Ryan Skyy's original song "Never Right" followed by Liza Jane's "Sacrifice". It's great to hear some new music from Chris Willis on his collaboration track "Eyes Wide Open". Until Dawn & Division 4 deliver some punchy remixes along with Tony Moran and Toy Armada. The amazing Dirty Disco turns out two stellar remixes for Dua Lipa and Beyonce` respectively and Roland Belmares delivers a floor stomping remix on Ariana Grande's "We Can't Be Friends". Continuing the main room sound are remixes from Henriq Moraes and Jace M. The set closes out with the killer duet track "Dance Alone" from Sia & Kylie Minogue. Grab a slice of this vocal house and club pie. There's plenty to go around. Enjoy

Let's talk about men for a while - specifically male vocal artists - and by men, I mean Mardi Gras men. It's time for the annual celebration of male vocalists in the 18th edition of Men, the Mardi Gras edition. I had planned to publish this on the actual weekend of Mardi Gras but I got caught UP! flip flopping on the track selection so instead, I'm publishing it on my actual birthday (March 5th). There are so many different artists and styles on this edition with new and classic remixes of their songs but the intensity and euphoria are constant. The start of the set has a heavy 80's and 90's feel with classic tracks from Simple Minds, Duran Duran, Rick Astley (I saw him in concert in Sydney in the early 90's - brilliant) and Haddaway. Moving through the set come monster tracks from The Weekend, Troye Sivan, Jason Derulo and boy bands Boyzone & One Direction. Adam Lambert is the featured performer at this years Mardi Gras so I had to put one of his amazing songs on this set. As the set moves into more big room territory hits appear from Coldplay, Alex Newell, Michael Jackson, Ed Sheeran and Jason Walker. Rounding out the set are two awesome tracks from Joey McIntyre and Wham!. Now Lets talk about the remixes. There are so many killer remixes ranging from Division 4, Jet Boot Jack, StoneBridge, JRMX, Cahill, Russ Rich, Wayne G. and Carlos Gallardo. 7th Heaven feature several awesome remixes here and as always, a huge thank you to Mark from Dirty Disco for his pre-release remixes for which I am eternally grateful. I hope you enjoy them all. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Luke Davies and Jesse Baird - a beautiful young couple from Sydney who's lives were taken in a senseless act of violence leading up to the Mardi Gras party weekend. Rest in peace boys xx

Crack open the champagne. Mardi Gras Anthems is celebrating it's 21st edition in March 2024 with 21 featured artists. The annual Sydney Mardi Gras party falls on the first weekend of March this year so in readiness for that, I'm releasing this milestone edition in advance. This set epitomizes the term "Anthems" with tracks from legendary divas such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Deborah Cox, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Madonna and the list goes on. There is even an appearance from legendary 80's dance floor divas Evelyn Thomas and Miquel Brown. There are mixes from remixers' across the club spectrum including Mike Rizzo, Block & Crown, Country Club Martini Crew and the always fantastic Wayne G, 7th Heaven and Russ Rich. Each year I badger two of my favourite remix artists - Division 4 and Dirty Disco for copies of their early release and private remixes and every year they very generously provide me with them. I know I sound a bit like a broken record when I say this, but their generosity in doing this for me is so greatly appreciated and changes the landscape of how I approach and assemble these Mardi Gras Anthems sets. I'll let the music speak (sing) for itself while you hit the dance floor for this year's Mardi Gras Anthems deep dive. Enjoy

The February 2024 edition of UP! is pure pop heaven. I say this because the set is populated with tracks from Dannii Minogue, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Sia & Kylie Minogue. A veritable divadom of pop diva's. Kicking off the set is the Matt Pop mix of Taylor Swift's beautiful "The Archer". Tay Tay just hit Australia this weekend kicking off the Australian leg of her Eras Tour with sold out concerts of 90,000 fans in Melbourne before heading to Sydney, so I wanted to include this mix to acknowledge the enormous cultural impact her world tour has had. Until Dawn remix two tracks for Sarah Christine and Deniece Pearson respectively. Division 4 delivers a crunchy, funky remix of "Looking For A New Love" which is my favourite cover in recent years. Dannii Minogue is back with a new track "Thinking 'Bout You" and it is nice to hear another Soul Seekerz remix. The always on point Dirty Disco features three remixes here for JLo, Ariana and Sia & Kylie. I included the awesome Tommer Mizrahi remix of Madonna's "I Rise" which I forgot I had. The set closes out with the thumping HenriqMoraes remix of Kygo & Ava Max's hit "Whatever". This month's edition of UP! is short, sharp and punchy clearing a path for the annual Mardi Gras Anthems coming in March. Enjoy
