Episode 119: Global Dance - UP! December 2020

So here we are at the end of 2020. A year I'm sure that everyone around the world wants to put behind them, I certainly do. The December 2020 edition of UP! takes us out of this year with a bang and a collection of awesome house and club mixes. The set kicks off with the Charlie Lane mix of "Everybody's Lost" by Ananya then slides into Ariana Grande's new track "34 + 35" which adds up to 69 - just sayin'. The Cube Guys have hit back with a stellar cover of Whitney Houston's "Love Will Save The Day". I put a throwback track from Danny Howells ft. Erire in the set because the Hoxton Whores remix of "Dusk 'Til Dawn" is so good. The set shifts to a happy main room sound with Jason Derulo's huge hit "Savage Love", Miley Cyrus' hit "Midnight Sky" and an amazing Toy Armada remix of Kylie's "Magic". Nick Stracener takes Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It" to another level and Kelly Clarkson delivers a standout vocal on her track "I Dare You". Steps are back with their pop hit "What The Future Holds" and Cyndi Lauper's new song "Hope" is beautifully mixed by Tracy young to close out the set. I'd like to take a moment to thank some people, both friends and in the music world for helping to keep me on track this year, personally and in the music production scene. Rob Ladic (aka Division 4) has been so supportive and I love our lunch get togethers in Sydney. Both Rob and Wayne G (whom I've known for years) have been extremely generous providing me with their private remixes for which I am very grateful. To Matt Consola at Swishcraft Music and the boys from Dirty Disco I say a big, heartfelt thank you & the same to Nick Stracener in Dallas. Personally, my friends Aaron, Mark, Deb, Jason, Daryl, Matt & Anthony, David & Derek, Ben, Mark & Michael, Mat, Tim & Anna and my brothers Cameron & Nick, you have all helped me through a difficult year and I thank you for it. And finally to all the music fans who have followed, supported and liked my podcasts. Your support means a lot to me. So here's to a brighter 2021.
