Moving on to part 4 of the essential Madonna series, this collection focuses on her last 3 albums: Confessions On The Dancefloor, MDNA & Rebel Heart. It also brings us up to her current singles releases. "Hung Up" was Madonna's biggest selling single release world wide & is remixed here by Stuart Price. Peter Rauhofer does an excellent mix of "4 Minutes" ft. Justin Timberlake as does Edson Pride on "Jump". Dave Aude', Offer Nissim & Razor 'N Guido who have all remixed Madonna's earlier tracks, step up with excellent remixes of "Girl Gone Wild", "Turn Up The Radio" & Ghosttown" respectively. Part 4 closes with "Bitch! I'm Madonna" because let's face it people, there's only 1 Madonna & she's it. Enjoy

Victor Calderone, Mac Quayle, Hex Hector, Wayne G, Tracy Young, Thunderpuss & Peter Rauhofer were all producing standout remixes on tracks such as "Beautiful Stranger", "Music", "What It Feels Like For A Girl", "Hollywood", "Don't Tell Me" & my favourite - "Ray Of Light".

I couldn't do an essentials collection without tackling the legend that is Madonna. She is the biggest selling female recording artist of all time & has set the direction & standard for pop music for the last 4 decades. I remember the first Madonna single released in Australia which was "Holiday" way back in 1982. From that time on she has constantly appeared in the charts with a series of number 1 albums & singles. This first edition of her music contains hits from her early career including "Borderline", "Papa Don't Preach", "Into The Groove" & "Crazy For You". It's difficult to find modern releases for these early tracks, so I've included a mixture of modern & original mixes. Enjoy

This edition of Global Dance is a gentler mix aimed at before or after a night out. The set has a nice blend of down tempo house tracks but still retains the vocal energy to keep you moving. Kicking off with a great Lenny B mix of "World" by Gia & followed by a classic mix of Lisa Stansfield's "All Around The World". Peyton delivers a smooth version of "High" & Chris Willes samples Cher's "Believe" in Crazibiza's "Lonely One". Moving into some great new tracks by Shelter & the First Ladies Of Disco as well as Calvin Harris' "Pray To God" ft. Haim, & finishing up with the Wayne G. mix of "Problem" by Ariana Grande. You should be well & truly recovered. Enjoy

Euphoria 2 picks up where the original Euphoria left off. This set is packed with classic high NRG anthems from the past such as "Everyday" by Kim English, "Anything For Love" by Reina & the timeless Hex Hector club mix of "Give Me Tonight" by Shannon. I came across a rare gem in the Matt Darey mix of "Heaven" by Kim Wilde. Barry Harris's awesome new mix of Bonnie Tyler's classic 80's hit "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" redefines the song as does Chris Cox's new mix of Amy Grant's "That's What Love Is For".

The latest edition of Men featuring all male vocalists, has a mixture of new & (not too) old on it. The set kicks of with the uplifting Don Diablo mix of "Make Me Feel Better" by Alex Adair, then moves into 7th Heaven's killer mix of "Black Out The Sun" by Darren Hayes.British band Lawson have released some great tracks & here, Wideboys turn in a great mix of their track "Taking Over Me". I first heard of Adam Turner when he provided the vocals on a club anthem called "Amazing". He has since moved into remix & production & I'm really liking his work - especially on the Mot & Krid track "It Still Feels Like Summer". Some commercial chart toppers such as "Take Me To Church" by Hozier; Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars; & "Adios" by Ricky Martin also feature. John Legend's beautiful "All Of Me" mixed by Cosmic Dawn & Nick Jonas' "Jealous" mixed by Bent Collective round out the 8th edition of Men. Enjoy

Sydney's international Mardi Gras event was held at the start of March so I thought I'd honour the event with 2 editions of some of the biggest tracks featured at the main party over the years I have been attending. For me many of these songs have special significance or meaning associated with the memories they have created. Part 1 kicks off with the timeless classic "Shoot Me With Your Love" by D:Ream. This English duo were huge in the mid 90's. Any FGTH track is a classic so I've included the updated Lockout remix of their cultural anthem "Relax". No Mardi Gras party would be complete without a swag of diva anthems, so included here are songs from Mariah Carey, Deborah Cox & Jennifer Lopez. The set closes with Shauna Jensen's beautiful cover of "Hopelessly Devoted To You". Part 2 to follow shortly but in the meantime, relive some dance party classics with Part 1. Enjoy. Anthony
