This month's edition of UP! has loads of drive and energy. I've included mostly new tracks mixed in with a few classics from the past 15 years. The set kicks off with some great house tracks from Jamie Liddell and TK. Amuka is back with her new song "Bourgie Bourgie" and Division 4 has a brand new track "Shake That". Dirty Disco turns in three stellar remixes for Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Beyonce` & Miley Cyrus respectively. Book ending these three are a house classic from Dancin' DJ's and 22 Lockdown respectively. The back end of the set elevates with thumping remixes from Thiago Antony, Roberto Ferrari and Henriq Moraes. The May '24 edition of UP! is the perfect primer for next months Pride Anthems. 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

Just squeaking in before the end of the month comes the first edition of UP! for 2024. This set has a strong house feel to it kicking off with the excellent collaboration between Nick Jay, Jet Boot Jack & Zoe Badwi "Listen To Love". Mark Knight & James Hurr pay tribute to Kathy Brown's classic "Turn Me Out" and Robbie Williams & Sophie Ellis-Bextor share vocals on "Immortal".
I love pretty much everything that Trouser Enthusiasts do and their mix of Dannii Minogue's "We Could Be The One" is no exception. The jewel in this set for me is Russ Rich & Andy Allder's remix of "Say Don't Go" by Taylor Swift. So beautiful and melodic, thank you for sending me this one Russ. Division 4 features two remixes here and his take on Mariah's "Touch My Body" is fantastic. Joe Stone & Brad Pearce sample Mariah's "Fantasy" in "Everynight". Dirty Disco turns in a killer mix of Kylie Minogue's "Vegas High" before the set heads into Big Room territory with two remixes to close out the set from Henriq Moraes. Welcome to the New Year. Enjoy

Here we are at the end of the year and this December '23 edition of UP! just manages to slide in before the New Year. I'd like to say that it was my intention but in all honesty, I was distracted by Xmas, multiple friends December birthdays and the looming presence of the approaching new year. This set wastes no time in getting into it with some thumping house tracks kicking off with the excellent David Guetta/Kim Petras collaboration "When We Were Young" mixed by Apollo. I pulled a classic Division 4 track from a few years back which I forgot I had. "Clap Your Hands" has some great samples from Whitney's "My Love Is Your Love". Ray Isaac Turns in a killer mix of Paloma Faith's "How To Leave A Man" as do Stephen Jusko & DJ Blacklow on Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club". Mark from Dirty Disco delivers three more outstanding remixes here for Tate McRae, Cactushead and Barry Huffine ft. Zhana Roiya respectively. Toy Armada & Jace M work their magic on Ed Sheerans' "Eyes Closed" and Brazilian DJ/Producer Henriq Moraes has three featured remixes here for Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris ft. Sam Smith. I'm really liking his style and there are several great remixes he has produced for classic divas which will definitely be appearing on my Mardi Gras anthems in March next year. The set closes out with Luin's punchy remix of Kylie Minogue's "Vegas High". I hope everyone had a great Xmas and here's wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year. Enjoy

This edition of Essential Taylor Swift took months to put together and is the culmination of her musical career up until the time of publishing. Unlike the previous 2 editions which were loosely chronological in track listing, this edition covers the whole span of her career but in no particular order. Admittedly there are fewer songs from her early years but there a very few remixes of her earlier music that I could find. Her Era's World Tour is in full swing and is on track to become the highest grossing tour by any artist in the world. I didn't even try to get tickets for her Australian tour dates. I thought I'd save myself that disappointment and be satisfied seeing the movie :) She has released some high quality music since my last edition in 2021 so naturally, I was keen to get the club remixes which I knew would be awesome overall. This Era's edition features remixes from Ray Isaac, Ryan Skyy, Optical Disco, Barry Harris, CLX, Dark Intensity, Joe Gauthreaux, Brett Oosterhaus, Jasmin, Dario Xavier and Toy Armada & Jace M. I would like to give special thanks to Russ Rich & Andy Allder, Division 4 and Mark De Lang of Dirty Disco. I badgered them all for new remixes that they might have been hiding and being the extremely generous people they are, they provided me with some advance and private remixes. I can't thank them enough as their contributions helped make this edition the massive compilation that it is. There are 37 tracks here covering a decade of Taylor's music in 3.5hrs. This is my love letter to Taylor Swift and also my Xmas gift to all of the Swifties around the world. Enjoy

The November '23 edition of UP! has a mixture of new and classic songs interspersed through it. I recently got hold of the hard to get 7th Heaven club mix of P!nk's "All I know So Far" and as I love all things P!nk, it had to go on. Division 4 kindly provided me with his mix of Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" and as I also love all things Tay Tay, it had to go on as well. Dave Aude` has updated Kimberley Locke's cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me" and Dave Matthias' new track "Let The Night" is killer. Dirty Disco features three remixes here. Mark seems to have a thing for Troye Sivan (which I totally support and am here for) and his remix of "One Of Your Girls" is excellent. Sia's new song "Gimme Love" gets a super remix from Armin van Buuren and the Jusko/Blacklow mix of Chappelle Roan's song is all energy. The back end of the set has some excellent remixes of Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa's recent hit singles and then I threw in some classic Selena Gomez and Sagi Kariv. The set closes out with Dirty disco's remarkably blended mix of Sam Smith's cover of "Beautiful" with Christina Aguilera. Enjoy

The Best Of series continues with a mega anthology of three DJ/producers who's work I have loved for the better part of a decade now. I'm talking about the incredible Toy Armada, DJ GRIND and more recently, Jace M. Toy Armada hails from the Philippines and started his DJ career at the age of 23. He held residencies at major clubs in Manila and as far as I know, he still resides there. Starting his producing career in 2010, it really took off when he met his long time collaborator DJ GRIND in 2012.  They became immensely popular on the world circuit party scene and began playing at venues around the world at some of the biggest circuit and Pride parties. I had the pleasure of meeting them both in Sydney in 2018 when they were playing at a party called DayWash. I only decided to go last minute so wasn't aware of the DJ lineup. Whilst on the dance floor, I said to my friend that the DJ likes playing a lot of Toy Armada & DJ GRIND remixes. He looked at me and said 'that's because they are playing you idiot'. Naturally I made a beeline for the DJ booth and introduced myself. They were both very pleasant and very humble while I fan girled over them. I haven't been able to find a lot of info on DJ GRIND as there hasn't been a lot of activity on his podomatic or Facebook page since 2020. Toy Armada has also collaborated with Tommy Love and Mauro Mozart. Jace M is originally from Washington DC and began DJ'ing in 2002. Moving to Detroit, he started up a number of events which are still running today. His collaborations with Toy Armada continue the theme of massive, thunderous big room circuit anthems. Between the three of them they have remixed and produced for some of the world's biggest recording artists including Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Ella Henderson, Loren Allred, Adele, Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, P!nk and of course, Kylie Minogue just to name a few. Featured here are 30 of their greatest remixes spanning three hours and a decade - my love letter to Toy Armada & DJ GRIND & Jace M. Enjoy
