The October '23 edition of UP! wastes no time in getting right into it with some crunchy house tunes and some vocal anthems. Leading the way is a thumping new house track from Dave Matthias "Got To Have" which is followed UP! by Australian Producer Nick Jay's collaboration with Matthew Clanton "Do It Anyway". I've always admired UK producer/DJ Apollo's work and here he delivers his own track "Baby Don't Go". Dave Aude`  remixes two tracks here for LUX and LeAnn Rimes respectively. Mark from Dirty Disco mustn't be getting much sleep these days as he is turning out stellar remix after stellar remix. I feature five of his latest on here from artists such as Kylie Minogue, Troye Sivan, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora. Rozalla's new track "Lovefool" gets the house treatment from Jet Bet Jack and Russ Rich & Andy Allder turn out another beautiful and UPlifting remix on Taylor Swift's "Timeless". A string of dance floor anthems await you on this October edition of UP! Enjoy

Here finally (just like Spring) comes the September '23 edition of UP! This edition is filled with floor fillers ranging from commercial house tracks right through to big room bangin' anthems. The set kicks off with Beverley Knight's new song "Last One On My Mind" and rolls into Tom Grennan's "Remind Me". This guy has an amazing voice if you're not familiar with him. Russ Rich & Andy Allder's original track "Be Your Strength" is an uplifting anthem and demonstrates their ability to hit a home run for the dance floor. Dirty Disco features four remixes here for Selena Gomez, LP, Jake Shears and Rita Ora. The man can do no wrong in my opinion. Chimira covers Carly Simon's classic "You're So Vain" mixed by 7th Heaven who also feature a remix for Fidget Spinners. Toy Armada & Jace M deliver two killer mixes for Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift respectively and a funky house mix of Kylie's new song "Tension" comes from Bearly Disco. I was sad to hear of the passing of Sinead O'Connor last month so I put her classic "Nothing Compares 2 U" on here, beautifully mixed by Dario Xavier. My good friend Deb celebrated her birthday on the 15th of this month and sticking with tradition, the September edition of UP! is dedicated to her. You're old now :) Enjoy

August 31st - such a pivotal day in the year. It's the last day of summer in the northern hemisphere and the last day of winter in the southern hemisphere. It's also the day I decided to make the third edition in the Recovery series. I was going to release it at the end of World Pride 2023 in Sydney and then changed my mind to the end of Mardi Gras 2023. When that didn't happen I thought I'd get to it for the end of Pride month (June) and finally I thought, fuck it, I'll release for the end of summer. Both sides of the equator could do with a recovery. As with previous editions, this set sits at a lower BPM and isn't meant to be as high energy as the monthly editions of UP! It's designed to pop on either before you head out or more specifically when you get home and want to have a social get together where you can still dance without having a heart attack or just chill with friends. The set has a mixture of current charting artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Sam Smith mixed in with classic artists such as Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul, Cathy Dennis, Sabrina Johnston and The Human League. There is a nice spread of remixers used here but I have to give a shout out to Division 4 and Dirty Disco for their continued generosity in providing me with their outstanding mixes. Whether you're gearing UP! before going out or gearing down when you get home, Recovery 3 should provide you with all of your musical nourishment. Enjoy

Here we are in August - last month of summer in the northern hemisphere and thankfully the last month of winter here in Australia. This month's edition of UP! contains some funky house tracks as well as some big room bangers. The set kicks off with a great track "Movin' On" by Hot M3ss and moves into another great house track "Love Shine" by Silverland. A big thank you to Matt Consola at Swishcraft Music for all of the great promo material he has been releasing. Dannii Minogue has a great new song "We Could Be The One" and David Guetta teams up with Anne-Marie to put their spin on Haddaway's "What is Love". Swedish artist Loreen won the Eurovision Song Contest again this year (after winning in 2012) with her song "Tattoo" remixed here by DJ Mark. The always awesome Dirty Disco has two remixes featured here for Troye Sivan and Taylor Swift respectively. JetFire does a great job covering Rihanna's "Disturbia" and Toy Armada turns in a great remix of the classic Shawn Christopher song "Another Sleepless Night". Guy Scheiman delivers a stand out mix of "Lovin' You More" by Steve Mac. The set closes out with the Roland Belmares mix of Lewis Capaldi's "Wish you The Best". Get into the end of summer or winter, wherever you happen to be in the world with the August '23 edition of UP!. Enjoy

Following up from The Best Of Hex Hector Part 1 comes The Best Of Hex Hector Part 2. This second part covers his remixes that move into the higher energy, higher BPM range. The set kicks off at 132 BPM and progresses up to the high 130's by the end. There are some absolute classic tracks here from artists such as Shannon, Faith Hill, Gloria Estefan, Whitney Houston, Angie Stone, Celine Dion and Britney Spears. I couldn't decide which Jennifer Lopez track to use so I put two on - ""Love Don't Cost A Thing" and her monster hit "Waiting For Tonight". I've placed a few male vocals on here as well including Ricky Martin, Kevin Aviance and Marcus. This set highlights the partnership that Hex Hector had with Dezrok as they worked together on many of these mixes. There are also a number of HQ2 mixes with Mac Quayle. This set is high NRG from start to finish and encapsulates the style I came to love from the one and only Hex Hector. Take a trip down memory lane and Enjoy

Pride month may be over but July carries on with world wide parties and celebrations. I would like to add July's edition of UP! to the festivities. This set is jam packed with uplifting house and club anthems to keep the party going. Kicking it off is the Sonny Federa & Ella Henderson collaboration "Like I Used To" followed by Australia's own Ricki-Lee with her new single "On My Own". Producer Jolyon Petch remixes this song as well as his own track "Make A Move". Australian producer Nick Jay delivers a killer remix of Australian diva Tina Arena's 90's hit "I Need Your Body" which I meant to put on last month's Pride Anthems but completely forgot. (I'm very vague sometimes). Division 4 delivers a funky remix of Lizzo's "Phone" which I really like. Dirty Disco (Mark de Lange) has been very busy turning out some outstanding remixes recently and I feature six of them in this set. Artists include Kylie Minogue's "Padam Padam" (her massive summer smash hit), Dua Lipa, Kristine W, Sam Smith & Madonna, Ariana Castelli and Adam Lambert - a veritable smorgasbord of Dirty Disco. We lost a legend of the music industry in late May of this year. Tina Turner was an incredible artist turning out hits from the 60's through to the 2010's. I've included the Joe Gauthreaux remix of one of her biggest hits "The Best" (RIP Tina). Debby Holiday delivers a powerful vocal on her Pride hit "Love Lift Me Up" collaborating with Stephen Jusko & DJ Blacklow. Toy Armada also features two remixes here for Mary Kiani on her cover of "Giving Up, Giving In" as well as Kim Petras & Nicki Minaj's massive hit "Alone". Idina Menzel has a pumping new song out, "Move" remixed by Guy Scheiman. The set closes out with Sigala & Adam Lambert's cover of the Sylvester classic "Mighty Real". July's edition of UP! still has an underlying Pride theme, so keep partying. Enjoy

I was a little bit slow off the mark getting my annual Pride Anthems edition out for June this month. None the less, here is the June 2023 edition. This is 27 remixed club anthems starting off with some smooth house remixes and moving towards main club and big room club anthems from the middle through to the end. The set kicks off with Dirty Disco's classic house remix of Candi Staton's "Young Hearts Run Free" and moves into Division 4's funky mix of Angie Stone's "Wish I Didn't Miss You". Jacked features two mixes here for Divine Inspiration and Chic respectively and DJ KaktuZ turns in a great house mix of "Believe" by Cher. Division 4 features two more mixes for Kylie Minogue and Madonna respectively and the Beachbums do a nice re-edit of one of my favourite songs from last year "Fearless" by Tom Grennan. Jet Boot Jack has been turning out some fantastic house mixes recently and two of his feature here. Shauna Jensen released an uplifting anthem for World Pride in Sydney this year with fantastic vocals. I had to put the Dirty Disco and Debby Holiday collaboration "Find A Way" in this set as it has fast become one of my all time favourite club tracks - period. The messaging is powerful and Debby's vocals have never been more amazing. With it's official release recently, Mark (de Lang) did a remix of his original remix and it is stunning. Toy Armada has been busy with Jace M turning out mixes for Janet Jackson and Kelly Clarkson as well as his original take on the 90's classic Sunchyme. Keala Settle's "This Is Me" is a powerful anthem and Joe Gauthreaux's remix lifts it up even more. I snuck a couple of male vocals in this edition as I didn't do a Mardi Gras Men this year so I had to put Tony Moran's awesome version of "Pride" In The Name Of Love on here as well. The last few tracks are pure pop joy from Demi Lovato and Boyz With Toyz. Vanessa Amorosi's powerhouse "Absolutely Everybody" closes out this massive edition of Pride Anthems for June 2023. Party hard and stay safe. Enjoy

I've been looking forward to doing a Hex Hector anthology for a long time but he has such a massive catalogue of remixes, I wasn't sure as to how I would approach it. I decided to split it into two parts. The first part being remixes with BPM's from 126 to 132 and the second part with remixes from 132 and up. That being said, it took me three weeks to select a body of mixes for part one and narrow that down to the final 32 tracks featured on this first edition. From what I've been able to find out, Hex Hector (Hector Ortiz) started producing music back in 1992 in New York. His sound was synonymous throughout the 90's and 2000's where he became famous for remixing songs for artists such as Deborah Cox, Whitney Houston, Gloria Estefan, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Ricky Martin and the list goes on. For anyone who was going out to clubs in that era, you would be well aware of his mixes of songs such as "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" by Deborah Cox and "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston. Hex's mixes took us on a journey and generally clocked in at 8 minutes plus. Not like the 'extended mixes' of today which barely make it to 3 minutes. He mastered the drop and build in infectious house/club mixes and playing one of his mixes (of which I played many) would guarantee the dance floor being full. Hex worked with a few regular producers such as Dezrok, Soul Solution and Jonathan Peters and he even formed a production duo with Mac Quayle called HQ2. The man is a true legend of the club world and this first edition of the best of Hex Hector features 32 all time classic house and club remixes over 4 hours which are guaranteed to keep you moving with your hands in the air.

This month's edition of UP! glides through a number of commercial songs with radio friendly remixes before heading off into a bigger club sound. The set kicks off with Rita Ora's "You Only Love Me" followed by The Oliver Heldens & Kylie Minogue collaboration "10 Out Of 10" which is a slice of pop heaven. Calum Scott lends his beautiful vocals to "Whistle" which is beautifully mixed by Apollo. Dance diva Inaya Day has a new song out with Matonii and The Weeknd & Ariana Grande team UP! for another hit "Die For You". P!nk does an awesome cover of Sinead O'Connor's original "Nothing Compares 2 U" and of course Dirty Disco take the honours on another stellar remix. Lewis Capaldi is everywhere all at once these days and his hit "Forget Me" gets the club treatment from AudioKraft. Division 4 delivers a great remix on Elisa Rose's "B.O.T.A." as does Matt Pop on Rozalla's "Magnificent". I will have to do a Best Of set for Matt Pop. He really does deliver some great, uplifting mixes. JetFire puts their spin on David Guetta & Bebe Rexha's "I'm Good" and Enrry Senna reinvents the classic "Seek Bromance" with a thumping big room remix. Loren Allred of "Never Enough" fame covers "You Say"  with another excellent big room mix to round out the May '23 edition of UP! Enjoy

Welcome to the April 2023 edition of UP! The front end of this set is funky, commercial house from big name artists and producers. As it progresses, it moves into the big room club sound with excellent remixes throughout. The set kicks of with the Alok & James Arthur collaboration "Work With My Love" and moves into another house collaboration between popular producers Purple Disco Machine & Kungs on their original track "Substitution". There are quite a few male vocalists on this set, six to be exact. I didn't do a Men edition for  Mardi Gras so I thought I would place a few more men on this set. Tom Grennan, Lewis Capaldi and Ed Sheeran all make an appearance here as do Years & Years. Continuing the producer/vocalist collaborations are Ofenbach & Ella Henderson, Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding, Claptone & Alison Goldfrapp and Sigala & Kylie Minogue to name a few. Hernan Maldonado delivers an outstanding mix of Tina Cousins' "Pray" covered here by Vanessa Klein and Dirty Disco's remix of "River" by Miley Cyrus is stellar as usual. Roberto Ferrari delivers to bangin' remixes for P!nk and Gryffin respectively. The back end of the set has Rihanna's smash hit "Lift Me Up" and Beyonce's "Cuff It" before closing out with another beautiful remix by Russ Rich & Andy Allder, this time on Taylor Swift's "Midnight Rain". Something for everyone on this chunky edition of UP! for April '23. Enjoy
