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
