This is the final installment in the Whitney Houston series. It brings us up to her final single releases prior to her untimely passing. The Freemasons remix of "Million Dollar Bill" is an instant classic. Thunderpuss (Chris Cox & Barry Harris) exploded onto the remix scene with their mix of "It's Not Right But It's Ok" & went on to remix more of her classic tracks. Enjoy

The next artist I thought I'd tackle in the Essential's series is Whitney Houston. Her song book is huge as are her songs. There are countless remixes of her tracks to choose from.

I've been thinking about doing a series of podcasts featuring one artist & the big hits of their careers for a while now. This is where the Essentials series has developed from. At this stage I'm going to focus on some of my favourite female singers & to kick it all off, I thought Britney Spears would be a good start. Like her or hate her (I admire her spirit & tenacity), Britney has had a huge impact on pop culture & recorded some of the biggest selling tracks in female vocal history. She has such a vast book of songs, I'm only going to focus on the ones I like personally & that have worthy remixes. This edition revisits some of her earlier hits. The next edition will bring it up to more current. Enjoy

7/ "IF YOU SEEK AMY" (Edson Pride Remix)
8/ "GIMME MORE" (Junior Vasquez & Johnny Vicious Club Mix)
9/ "CIRCUS" (Junior Vasquez Ringleader Club Mix)
10/ "DON'T LET ME BE THE LAST TO KNOW" (Hex Hector Club Mix)

The 6th edition of Global Dance - Men, has anthems scattered all the way through it. From Matt Zarley's "Somebody 4 Everybody" to Carlos Gallardo's "Let It Go" & Audio Playground's "Hands Up In The Air". I've even included 2 rare & hard to find remixes. One of Brian Kennedy's "Life, Love & Happiness" as well as the Matt Darey Mix of "Let's Get Down" by Mark Morrison. If you like your male vocalists, this edition of Men should have something 4 everybody. Enjoy

This edition of Global Dance is all about energy. I've combed through my back catalogue & selected some older tracks with hi nrg remixes. There are some classics such as the Hex Hector mix of "Breathe" by Faith Hill and Agnelli & Nelson do an excellent bootleg of Madonna's "Music". Mike Koglin does a beautiful mix of "Stay" by Marcella Detroit & the 7th Heaven remix of Tina Arena's "Reset All" is yet another reason why these guys are my all time favourite remixers. Enjoy

The February/March edition is all about Sydney's Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. The events straddle Feb & March culminating in the parade & party, this year on March 1st. I decided to combine the 2 months into 1 podcast reflecting the amazing party atmosphere that envelops Sydney at this time of the year. The front part of this mix leans towards a solid club sound with commercial tracks by Zendaya, Shakira ft. Rihanna & Katy Perry. The Gold House club mix of "Dark Horse" is particularly good. The back half of the mix is pure hands in the air party anthems. Robbie Rivera's new track "What To Do Now" has brilliant builds & drops. The 7th Heaven mix of Enrique Iglesias' "I'm A Freak" has energy to spare as does JRMX's rework of The Saturday's "Not Giving Up". My favourite track however is Tina Arena's "Don't Hide". The 7th Heaven remix is truly beautiful & I'm wondering if Tina will sing it when she performs at the main Mardi Gras party as their featured artist. Happy Mardi Gras & Enjoy

Men: 5 is the latest in the series featuring male artists and groups. I've used several 7th Heaven mixes here because they always do amazing things with virtually every thing they touch. Union J's "Beautiful Life" is a perfect example. As is Ricky Martin's "Come With Me". I must admit, I quite like One Direction so I've included the excellent but short Steve Smart & Westfunk mix of "Best Song Ever". "We Own The Night" by The Wanted rounds out this edition. Men: 5 is full of commercial pop energy.

This is part 2 of 2 celebrating the spirit of the Sydney G.A.Y parties from the late 90's/early 2000's. Almighty tend to do some of the gayest diva remixes on the planet, hence the reason a few of them feature on this mix. Wayne G's Heaven anthem mix of Whitney Houston's "So Emotional" is a rare gem.
