Episode 162: Global Dance - UP! February 2023 Pride Anthems 11 World Pride Sydney

February is here and it brings with it World Pride in Sydney as well as the Sydney Mardi Gras. These 2 events take UP! pretty much all of February and lead into March and I believe that this is the first time a World Pride event has been held in the Southern Hemisphere. I decided to split the usual Pride Anthems episodes into two parts - one in February for World Pride and the other one I will release in June this year which is traditionally Pride month around the world. As always with the Pride releases, I try to select music with a strong, positive message as it is a celebration of the LGBTQI community after all. This set kicks off with 2 very recent remixes of 2 classic tracks. "Joy" by Staxx and "Stronger" by Britney Spears. Division 4 features 3 back to back remixes here for Missy Elliott, Soulsearcher and Heather Small respectively. Tony Moran's classic remix of Madonna's "Crazy For You" is also here, along with Therese's "Put 'Em High" expertly remixed by Jet Boot Jack. Mary J. Blige's "Just Fine" is such an uplifting dance floor anthem as is Mel B's "For Once In My Life" mixed by JRMX. Moving towards the back end of the set are classic tracks from Beyonce`, Bex, Kylie Minogue, Whitney Houston and Inaya Day. Toy Armada delivers an updated mix of Kim English's massive hit "Everyday" and Dirty Disco close this edition of Pride Anthems with an outstanding mix of the original Sister Sledge hit "We Are Family". For all the visitors to Sydney for the festivals and to everyone around the world, get ur freak on and celebrate with Pride.
