With musical roots in both Brazil's Bahia and New Jersey's house culture, NYC's Junior Sanchez was exposed to a wide range of influences early on in his career, helping him to develop into one of the most respected producers of his generation. Following last year's 'Where You Are' collaboration with Harry Romero & Alexander Technique, 'I Believe In' is Junior's first solo outing. Snapped up by Steve Angello's Size imprint and brought to you by Neon Records, the record has all the makings of a modern-day classic; a strong vocal hook courtesy of Karmen, powerful drums and one monster of a breakdown.

Things then get handed over to Third Party and Swanky Tunes for the remix treatment, with both going seriously big! Third Party bring us some of the most euphoric sounds ever squeezed out of a synthesizer, while Swanky Tunes go a little harder and more twisted, chopping and warping the synth line almost beyond recognition before dropping Karmen's huge vocal on the unsuspecting masses.

Stand back...it's gonna go off big time!!

Having spent the last few months hidden deep in Denzal Park's CD Wallet of battle weapons, 'Militia' finally sees the light of day and with the record already picking up spins from Steve Angello and a string of other top jocks, you better believe the hype!

'Militia' is Denzal Park at their super-sized best - a killer synth paired with one of the biggest drops you're gonna hear this year! And stoking the fire are Size kings Third Party whose mega reinterpretation is possibly their finest moment to date.

In a little over 2 years, Denzal Park - comprised of Australian house music stalwart Kam Denny and Paul Zala - have quickly become one of the leading lights of the Australian club scene and a prolific musical machine having notched up and APRA Award, three ARIA Club Chart #1s, a Beatport #1 and belting out remixes for the likes of Dirty South, Kylie, INXS, Full Intention and TV ROCK amongst numerous others. The boys are also currently enjoying success throughout Europe withtheir collaboration with rappers Wizard Sleeve.

'I'm A Drum-Machine (Step Up)' is currently at #4 in the Official UK Club Chart.

SKRILLEX BRINGS US MORE MONSTERS - EXCLUSIVELY ON BEATPORT

BUY ON BEATPORT: http://bit.ly/kjUK0F

After exploding into the ears and hearts of electronic music fans everywhere last year with his free My Name Is Skrillex EP, followed by a near-complete takeover of the Beatport Top 10 with his first commercial release, Skrillex, also known as Sonny Moore, has created a genuine and ever-increasing buzz, not to mention a throng of fiercely loyal fans who make each show an exhilarating test of endurance.

So to feed the growing addiction, we present to you More Monsters and Sprites. This eight-track EP features four brand new remixes of the first dubstep track ever to reach #1 on Beatport - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - including all new drum & bass, ambient and dubstep, remixes from The Juggernaut, Phonat, and Dirtyphonics, plus a progressive house peak-timer from Kaskade.

Just that would be enough to cause a stir, but this prolific producer indulges us with two new original tracks called First of theYear and Ruffneck, the latter of which comes with two different versions; a laidback groover (Flex) and an aggressive floorfiller (FULL Flex) to keep the crowds on their toes (or backs, depending on how they handle the inevitable stage-dive). The deluxe release will be complimented by two official videos. The first, for Scary Monsters, will be a 3-D graphic onslaught from Roboto, the same brilliant designer responsible for Skrillexs album artwork, video teasers, live show visuals and his logo.

The second video, for Rock N Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain) follows Sonny through the backstage, on-stage, and day-to-day mayhem of the last five months thanks to the sleek, stylish, all-access video footage provided by the team behind the ElectroWars documentaries. Brace yourselves; More Monsters and Sprites have arrived.

RELEASE DATE 18/03/2011

From the label behind some of the last 12 month's biggest dance records including Wynter Gordon 'Dirty Talk', Zoe Badwi 'Freefallin', Adrian Lux 'Teenage Crime' and Sidney Samson 'Riverside' comes 2011's next future anthem...

After having been a household name in Belgium for over 15 years where he is considered the countries most important commercial DJ, Laurent Wery is poised for his international breakthrough with the super-infections dance/pop gem 'Hey Hey Hey'.

The record is Laurent's first collaboration with upcoming Canadian rap-artist Swift KID who has been rapidly gaining respect and street cred throughout Urban music circles after a string of successful mixtapes and bootlegs including his rap version of Ke$ha's 2010 chart topping hit 'Tik Tok'.

Swift KID's vocal mash-up of Laurent's instrumental record (then known as 'My Sound') first surfaced as a bootleg on the Internet where it gathered momentum at lightning speed hitting over 500,000 views on YouTube in a matter of weeks. The bootleg found its way to the powers that be at Laurent's record label, who quickly snapped it up and arranged for the two artists to lay down the final version you hear today. And the rest, as they say...is history.

Already signed to a string of major labels around the globe, there is a definite 'calm before the storm' feeling in the air as 'Hey Hey Hey' gets ready to drop at full force on unsuspecting dancefloors and at commercial radio worldwide.

DANCE AID+ FOR THE QLD FLOOD VICTIMS.

Australia’s DJs are capturing the true Aussie spirit with the upcoming Dance AID charity events.

The explosive electro events will raise vital funds for Queensland flood victims and everyone involved be having a damn good time for a unbelievably important cause.

Soon after the floods wreaked havoc on Queensland earlier this week, Novanation presenter and DJ Grant Smillie rounded up his troops and announced Dance AID – a Melbourne-based charity event featuring some of the biggest names electro Down Under.

With artists like Smillie, Zoe Badwi, The Potbellez, Kaz James, Nervo Twins and Ruby Rose on the bill, demand to support this event grew so quickly that it’s now been expanded into a national tour.

Smillie said all of the DJs involved viewed this as the perfect way to help Aussies in need.

“In Australia we all know someone who knows somebody. It’s on our doorstep. It’s been awful to watch… and I certainly didn’t believe it when I first saw it,” he said.

“It started out being just a Melbourne thing. I rang up Ruby straight away and then the Stafford Brothers because they’re Queensland boys. The Nervo girls emailed me saying can they do something, and then it just snowballed,” he said.

“To get The Potbelleeez and Hook N Sling – and with everyone flying themselves to Melbourne – I was like ‘Wow, this is pretty amazing, us rallying together.’ So we thought ‘let’s make this national’ because if everyone commits to one event, we can really make some serious noise and have an impact.”

Smillie said within no time, lighting and stage staff from across the country were putting their hands up to help, and equipment and liquor companies were also pitching in products.

“It’s been amazing. It’s just become all-consuming but equally something that’s just got a really good organic feel about it. No-one’s trying to cash in on it. Everyone’s asking to do stuff for free.”

In addition to the upcoming club events, Dance AID will also be putting out a CD featuring tracks from the artists involved as well as major internationals like David Guetta and Axwell. The compilation CD will feature special edits by most of the artists and an acoustic track from Badwi.

“We started out saying if we could raise $10,000 that would be awesome. Then $40,000 would be great. But given that we’re doing a national roll out, my aim is to be well above $50,000. $50,000 to $100,000 after we get CD sales,” he said.

“Even though I guess it is a somber occasion we’re trying to make these events some of the best parties they’ll ever remember. I don’t think you’ll ever see a time when you have me, Ruby, Kaz James, and Zoe at the same time, all on the decks. You won’t ever see that again.”

Dates:

Wednesday, January 19 - Prince Bandroom, Melbourne

Thursday, January 20 – La La Land, Byron Bay

Thursday, January 20 – The Platinum, Gold Coast

Friday, January 21 – Red Square, Adelaide

Sunday, January 23 – Discovery, Darwin

EBTG vs. Fedde Le Grand - Missing

Neon closes off a massive year with Everything But The Girl’s 1995 hit ‘Missing’ magically re-worked by DJ superstar / Producer Fedde Le Grand.

“It's one of the most beautiful dance records ever made, and for me it's an all time classic...” says Fedde, who saw it as a natural remix for him to give his magical Dutch touch and begin a underground storm as it became an undisputed highlight in his sets across worldwide dance floors.

For a true classic that has blissfully infected radio and clubs for the past decade the emotion lives on as Fedde elevates Tracey Thorn’s icy vocal into another of those crowd-pleasing Fedde Le Grand moments we've come to expect. Throbbing house beats and powerful uplifting stabs shed neither the originals sense of impact nor its moody weight.

As Neon's jam-packed year of anthems comes to an end, if there is one thing missing, make sure it definitely isn’t this.

Taylor Square - Island Life (Original Mix) **Available on Beatport from 14th January, 2011**

Be lifted above the chaos and the mundane with Australian duo Taylor Square's debut release on Neon Underground - the engrossing and sweetly addictive 'Island Life'.

Totally exotic yet sounding vaguely familiar at the same time, 'Island Life' sets the sun-drenched house tone perfectly as it breezes out of the speakers like a cool summer wind, casting a net that both embraces and seduces as it builds into a pure eargasm.

Taylor Square is the brainchild of Alex Taylor & Rob Taylor who share not only the same last name but a love of great house music. A dance music partnership made in heaven, Alex is one of Australia's most established DJs having forged a name for himself that sees him playing regularly across the country and around the World from London to L.A. including an annual stint in Ibiza each summer where he is one of the We Love residents at the world-renowned super-club Space. While Alex has been rocking the decks, Rob has been rocking the studios building a career in audio production that has spanned more than 20 years and includes 4 ARIA nominations for Best Producer and Engineer.

The two met in the early hours of the morning 7 years ago in a studio outside of Sydney and have since gone on to remix the likes of Sneaky Sound System, Inaya Day, Blank & Jones feat. Bernard Sumner, Crazy Penis, Zoe Badwi and Jocelyn Brown.

Pendulum - The Island (Steve Angello/AN21/Max Vangeli)

As if the Tiësto remix wasn't big enough, Australia's own Pendulum call on three of the world’s biggest names to work their magic on The Island, the latest single to be lifted of their stunning album Immersion.

Needing no introduction, Steve Angello joins two of the hottest breakthrough electronic artists of 2010; Steve’s skilled sibling AN21 and relative new kid on the block Max Vangeli to redefine 'anthem status' delivering what will no doubt be remembered as one of the year's best remixes and an instant future classic.

The Island is a perfect example of the heavy progressive sound that has emerged from Pendulum's desire to innovate their musical palette. The original creates an uplifting yet sinister atmosphere amongst a vicious attack of grinding beats and synths and the three remix heavyweights strip back the bands original combining huge sonic distortion and thundering drum loops with their infectious and unmistakable dance floor production, allowing the record's massive hook to embed itself right under your skin.

As they say… "what are you waiting for?"

NEON. ALL KILLERS. NO FILLERS.

Denzal Park drop the bomb. Twice.

Fresh off the back of 3 Australian Club Chart #1's, an outing on Axtone’s current release ‘Sign Your Name’ and a string of top notch remixes for artists spanning Kelis, Dirty South, Wynter Gordon, Paul Oakenfold, Benny Benassi & Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Denzal Park boys get a chance to show their darker side as Neon welcomes them to the Underground for their latest release '2 Drops'.

With super-tight production and a dark, driving melody, '2 Drops' builds into a brooding monster of a record that is designed to be played loud on progressive dance floors and will prove to be nothing short of massive when unleashed on unsuspecting crowds.

New House Mix of Switchfoot!

Following on from the unmissable AN21 and Max Vangeli mix of 'Always Yours', also on Neon for Aus/Nz, Switchfoot are fast becoming a very recognizable talent in the industry.

The break is one of the best breaks of any track this year with beautiful melodies, cool rhythm, and of course unreal vocals.

Sven Kirchhof is a super talented producer out of Germany, with some fairly big releases on labels such as We Play, Mixmash and Spinnin’. “Your Love Is a Song” surely tops them all, which was featured on Switchfoot's newest album, “Hello Hurricane”.

Fresh off the back of 3 ARIA Club Chart #1's this year, a hectic national touring schedule and more production work than James Cameron, The Denzal Park boys, Kam Denny and Paul Zala have given Wynter Gordon their magic touch. The original Dirty Talk, produced by genuine Pop maestro David Guetta himself is a no-holds-barred club thumper from minute one. Explosive sine bass and dutch style synth blips make this mix a must-have for any DJ who takes his profession seriously.

Check out her latest #1 Billboard Club Smash Dirty Talk, with the epic Denzal Park mixes - currently #5 on the ARIA Club Chart.

Janelle Monáe is an experience. She’s a charismatic singer, songwriter, producer, and performer. Her ground-breaking style crosses musical genres in a captivating postmodern merging of soul, funk, and rock ‘n’ roll.

Janelle’s 2007 debut EP, Metropolis Suits 1 of IV: The Chase was critically acclaimed when her second single Many Moons came in at #47 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008. The video aired on You Tube on September 27, 2008, and received over 13,000 views in 48 hours. Many Moons was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.

Monáe’s first single Tightrope from the stunning 2nd album ‘The Archandroid’ sees her team up with Big Boi (Outkast). The lush orchestration mixes with elements of musical theater, funk and the dirty south to create a truly unique sound. At one moment, Monáe's voice takes on the metallic trill of Shirley Bassey, the next she's an ethereal siren, followed by a bluesy soothsayer.

The album is a conceptual album that tells the story of a female android named Cindy Mayweather. It’s filled with pop action, orchestral suspense and soul drama.

Remixes come courtesy of Paul Harris, Organized Noize & Australia's own Hook N Sling & Goodwill.

“Ms. Monáe has one of the most enchanting voices of our generation”Andre 3000.

“Janelle is fire! Whoever got this girl… she is going to blow up!” Missy Elliott.

Neon is proud to announce the coming of our long awaited sub-label Neon Underground.

For those looking for the kookier, deeper and darker offerings this is certainly the place for you.

Launching the Underground is Melbourne-based producer Rob Pix with his release Head Drop featuring Christian Luke on remix duties.

Already getting props in his hometown for this release, if you like your house jackin, bleepin and catchy-as-f@#k then this record is guaranteed to be front of your crate.

Neon Underground - Future House Weaponry.

Neon are very proud to drop Beside U - the first collaboration between the Melbourne-based duo producer Fabian Gray & vocalist Emanuele Mamo.

Over the past few years Fabian has been making a mark for himself due to his perfectionist approach, cutting-edge creativity and versatility to continuously produce an array of crowd captivating sounds that has seen him obliterate dancefloors with his live performances and work in the studio alongside artists like Ron Carroll, Camille Jones, Inaya Day, Tom Novy & Mobin Master.

Emanuele has the advantage of coming from a cultured musical background with experience extending from vocals, song writing and creative aptitude for various instruments (including piano & guitar) that has paved his way for a swift transition and almost immediate success as one half of this dynamic duo.

On Beside U, Fabian and Emanuele have created what is best described as ‘big mainroom house’ at its finest. Full of euro-influenced synths, uplifting chord progressions, epic builds & drops and a highly enchanting vocal, the record has been known to induce goose bumps when played at full volume. Featuring a massive remix from Denzal Park and more on the way, Beside U is generating quite the buzz internationally testing well with the heavyweights in Ibiza & being signed by top labels worldwide.

Get ready for a floorfiller of epic proportions!

From one of Sweden's hottest up and coming acts, Neon is proud to present Adrian Lux's 'Teenage Crime'. The mega package includes not one but two mixes from Swedish House Mafia member and super producer Axwell, one of which is a remode alongside fellow swede Henrik B. The original mix is a somewhat genre blending aural delight with a laidback guitar riff and vocals all transforming into a synth laid party slammer - certainly with all the makings of a major crossover hit.

Adrian Lux is a new name to many though one who has found fans via the blogosphere with his unmistakably Swedish tracks such as ‘Strawberry’ & ‘Can’t Sleep’ but with ‘Teenage Crime’ Adrian is poised to win legions of new fans both in clubs and on the radio.

The full package includes an extended version of Adrian’s Original, a Radio Edit, an Instrumental, the Axwell Remix and the Axwell & Henrik B Remode .

Zoë Badwi - Freefallin

Zoë Badwi's debut single 'Release Me' is now somewhat of a club classic after it reigned over the #1 spot on the ARIA Club Chart for 7 weeks and was nominated for both ARIA & APRA Awards last year. The record was a huge international hit being picked up by labels throughout Europe, USA, Canada, Brazil and South Africa and a year on, is still being spun by some of the biggest names in the business, which is testament to the huge international appeal of Melbourne-based Zoë. The Freemasons, who over the years have worked with the likes of Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, Kelly Rowland, Shakira & Eurythmics were recently quoted as saying "We still play 'Release Me' every week, it was our fav track of last year...we love Zoë!"

Since 'Release Me', Zoë has clocked up some serious frequent flyers points playing gigs from as far as London to Beijing, Mykonos to Sao Paulo and all across Australia seducing audiences with her infectious energy, unforgettable performances & bubbly charm.

Jump to 2010 and Zoë is back with her biggest release yet. Freefallin' is a certified dancefloor-filling stomper with 100% crossover potential that clearly demonstrates she has the vocal pipes & charisma to be a major international star. Currently sitting at number 9 in the Australian Club Chart and steadily rising to the top 'Freefallin' has already been picked up by labels across the globe from Big Beat/Atlantic in the U.S to One More Tune/Atlantic in the UK, as well as Benelux and Gas across Europe.

Fusing classic club beats courtesy of Australia's own Denzal Park (who have topped the ARIA Club Chart twice already in 2010) with an incredibly powerful, heady vocal, 'Freefallin' is both bright and uplifting packing a punch from the very first listen.

As with 'Release Me', It's a given that the record will resonate throughout clubland with top-notch remixes courtesy of Moto Blanco (Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, George Michael, Jennifer Lopes) & TV ROCK but what lifts 'Freefallin' into a triumphant pop moment is Zoë's emotionally charged vocal performance and positive, life-affirming lyrics that will breeze their way into your heart.

Whilst Zoë sings of liberating yourself from heartbreak and leaving the past behind, the anthemic piano-laden backing pushes the track into a fantastic singalong chorus. This is celebratory dancefloor magic, tinged with the inspiration of stepping out into the unknown and loving every minute of it!

Following on from the overwhelming international success of their last record In The Air, which has topped charts worldwide, been spun by all of club music’s royalty and dubbed by many as “the club anthem of 2010”, the TV ROCK boys are back with Elevated, their massive new collaboration with London-based songstress Tara McDonald.

Tara is no stranger to success having already paired-up with legends like David Guetta on his record Delirious, Axwell on Feel The Vibe, Armand van Helden on My My My and Todd Terry on Get Down to name but a few and after recently signing a deal with prolific label Hed Kandi, is currently penning tracks with the likes of Joey Negro, Sidney Samson, Laidback Luke & Afrojack.

After hooking up whilst Tara was touring Australia over the New Years period, the trio hit the studio and the result is this out and out house anthem that was previewed at the Miami Winter Music Conference earlier this year to rave reviews including a #28 debut on the official DMC Miami WMC Buzz Chart.

German superstars Dabruck & Klein and French duo Klosman & Wild (fresh from remixing new ones for Bob Sinclar & Akon) provide the first of many stunning remixes with more to come in the following weeks.

Elevated marks the start of what will be another huge year for TV ROCK with a slate of singles set for later in the 2010 including collaborations & remixes for none other than Tiësto, Calvin Harris, Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Rudy.

All Killers. No Fillers

Following the huge success of their Aria Club Chart #1, the cross-over disco smash 'Filter Freak', the Denzal Park boys Kam Denny and Paul Zala deliver this epic piece of dance floor devastation, the first in a line of club weapons set to destroy floors across the globe.

Denzal Park have already had a Beatport number one with their massive re-rub / booty of CeCe Peniston's 'Finally' last year. The track was picked up by Lady Gaga and used to open her concerts on her recent Australian tour.

Their latest piece _Ascension_ is a no-holds barred bass driven romper, with epic house melodies and soaring synth lines that drop into the deepest of bass.

Grab a copy of Ascension and all the mixes on *Beatport*!

‘Run’ is the stunning debut release from Melbourne’s Jason Rooney (aka JRJ) and vocalist Rebecca Lockhart.

Meeting by chance at Melbourne’s long running club night OneLove, Jason & Rebecca instantly hit if off and within no time were in the studio together working on an array of what have been described as edgy & infectious commercial and more niche records that they guarantee will “make you wanna shake”

Both Jason & Rebecca come from strong musical backgrounds; Jason started out playing classical guitar from age 8, which he now uses as my primary basis when writing dance music and in recent years moved into live audio engineering and production managing working at Melbourne’s renowned Prince Bandroom. His gig at the Bandroom has seen him to rubbing shoulders with the likes of Scissor Sisters, Lupe Fiasco, The Pretenders, Feist, Erick Morillo, Deadmau5 & Axwell to name a few.

Rebecca started singing almost before she could talk wowing judges at Eisteddfods & Talent Quests since the age 11 and playing leads in musicals like Grease, Fame, Annie, Chicago & West Side Story. After graduating high school, Rebecca scored the role of Frida in an ABBA tribute show which saw her travelling all over the world performing in the intense 2 hour stage show.

"Run" was initially created as a guitar loop by Jason and grew from there with the basic melody and arrangement coming together one Saturday afternoon. Getting Rebecca to lay down a vocal for "Run" was never initially planed but once Jason had her singing there was now way he could consider another voice he would rather have on the record. The result is a beautiful marriage between Rebecca’s haunting and melodic vocal style and Jason’s deep and driving production laden with lush classical guitar.

Grab a copy of 'Run' on *Beatport*!

The man behind this slice of unashamed old school house music whoopee is veteran producer Dino Lenny and he’s not joking with the name he’s festooned upon this topical Jacko-homaging follow-up to 2007’s “Minimal DJs Have Small Decks”.

Dino takes us back to 88 with classic Todd Terry influences as a voice intones ‘Michael Jackson… Michael Jackson’, some late 80s rave-chords up the ante, topped with Six Million Dollar Man-derived ‘We can rebuild him, we have the technology’ declaration. Gallops along with old school drum programming, all set to stand out from the pack and undoubtedly stoke some mayhem.

Local heroes Mind Electric, Chardy and The Hump Day Project keep the quirky old school groove alive whilst making this more accessible to dancefloors across the country.

Grab a copy of 'Still Hope For Jackson' on *Beatport*!

TechNero is the love child of Australian rock legend Jason Singh and Onelove favourite Todd Watson. The pair, after last year's 'The World As You Know It' have again joined forces for this life-affirming anthem that has dancefloors singing along from the first play.

The track has recently been smashing clubs worldwide and has just been picked up by Atlantic Records in the US.

TV ROCK & Luke Chable turn in an epic synth laden remix that will blow the roof off and up-and-comers Bobby Vena, Oxford Hustlers and JRJ all deliver equally exceptional mainroom progressive monsters.

Grab a copy of 'One World' on *Beatport*!

Some tracks just get better with time. First surfacing in 2007 as ‘Feels Like Home’ which went on to become an international club monster, Meck was subsequently contacted by Madonna no less to help her use 'Feels Like Home' in a mashup with her classic ‘Like A Prayer’ in the summer 2008.

Which featured heavily on her 'Sticky & Sweet' tour.

Following unprecedented demand Meck and Dino now bring you the track that caused such a stir with a host of top notch remixes from man of the moment Michael Woods, Dutch master Rene Amesz & acclaimed tech / trance producer Bart Claessen.

With his interpretation already receiving massive support from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, Michael Woods means business with his remix, building subtle tension with short drops and big FX rises before slamming back in with the beats & driving bass line, taking you to the break down then unleashing an unashamedly euphoric riff pattern that will make you reminisce back to the good old days of House music.

The mix is very high in intensity and will blow the roof off any party the world over! Rene Amesz returns to Toolroom with his trademark Dutch sound, piercing synth stabs layered over crisp chugging beats making very good use of the vocal line ‘Feel’s Like Home’, before that recognizable riff bursts out of the speakers and takes hold of your senses. The track progresses with a big and bold bass line and variating percussion hits in the mix, this mix will stretch across many different playlists! Bart Claessen debuts on Toolroom with a booming tech-trance take of the original. His up-tempo rhythms are well crafted releasing awesomely uplifting waves of sound that will raise the hairs on the back of every neck in the club. As with the previous mixes he drops the euphoric riff pattern in the break but only teases us with it until the beats drop back in and he let’s go with that killer riff.

An energetic mix that will receive support from all the heavy hitters! There is a mix to suit everyone’s tastes as ‘Feels Like A Prayer’ is as diverse a package as ever.

Lady Gaga has been opening her shows with our very own Neon release "Finally' by Denzal Park!

Get a copy of Denzal Park's - Finally (Kam Denny & Paul Zala Remix) on iTunes!

Denzal Park takes #1 on the ARIA Club Chart for Filter Freak!

In the summer of 2009, Ian Carey told us all to Get Shaky, Sidney Samson was using profanities down by the Riverside and Kid Cudi & Crookers were busy tossing & turning through the Day N Nite…

In 2010, it’s The Golden Boys’ turn to let off some real frustration as they drop their sure-fire electro-pop anthem ‘Out To The Nation’.

Set to be one of the biggest commercial dance records of the season, ‘Out To The Nation’ carries a true party groove and a chorus that’ll have you hooked from the first listen. With it’s edgy vocal from 90’s reggae-pop star Michie One and infectious bassline courtesy of respected house producer Danny Dove, this has summer anthem written all over it!

Remixes come courtesy of Danny Dove, the Loose Cannons & New Zealand’s wonder kid Magik Johnson.

Check out the sassy lil’ video HERE!

Following on from her ARIA Top 30 debut single 'Release Me' which went on to become one of the biggest international singles of '09 making the Top Ten Singles Chart in 12 countries so far, Swedish sensation Agnes is back and about firmly cement herself as a major player in 2010 with the release of her second single 'I Need You Now'. This highly infectious dance-pop anthem continues to showcase the 21-year-old's incredible vocal talents and is already enjoying heavy radio & club rotation throughout Europe and over 1 million Youtube hits for the video clip so far. Check Out The video clip: HERE

The remix package has got just about every dancefloor covered with a smorgasbord of vocal & dub mixes to suit all tastes. Fresh from remixing Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus & Cascada to name a few, Cahill do what they do best converting radio hits to slices of pure dance heaven. Also in there is Grant Nelson(widely regarded as one of the godfather of UK Garage) and Almighty who keep things on a soulful house tip whilst Australia's very own Alex K along with Ali Payami & Jens Kindervater (Real Booty Babes) turn the heat up with some killer hard-dance mixes.

Although relatively new to Australian audiences, Agnes has been enjoying massive success in Scandinavia for some time, with six Top Ten singles including the hit ‘Release Me’ (co-written by Agnes herself) as well as three hit albums in her home country. Her debut international album 'Dance Love Pop' was produced by Anders Hansson who has previously worked with prolific artists like Cher. Agnes started writing lyrics and singing at the age of five and has co-written half the songs on this album, which will come out in Australia in early March.

Also check out the new video Agnes recently shot for the launch of “Release Me” in the US.

Proving why they are one of the most exciting and versatile duo's in dance music today, Denzal Park kick off 2010 with a breakneck-funk bang inspired by the get-down-on-the-dancefloor tunes of early 80's. “Filter Freak” carries a true party groove that's bursting with hard-driving funk, retro synths, one hell of a fat bassline and dangerous amounts of cool that instantly evokes visions of teased hair-do's and thriller-esque choreography. 

 

On the remix front, Denzal’s Kam Denny provides something a little more techy for the mainrooms & early mornings whilst DCUP's interpretation is laced with luscious disco-synths layered over a highly infectious, bouncing groove. 

 

Energetic & life affirming, this record is a veritable, contagious boogie feast that's guaranteed to get all the freaks out on the floor… Set to be large!

Check out the awesome fan-made video here!

With Zoë’s third single, “In The Moment” just serviced to international tastemakers and being praised by the likes of Tom Novy, the Hed Kandi crew, Thomas Gold and Tom Findlay from Groove Armada, comes the news that Zoe will be walking the red carpet at the ARIAs. Zoe is a nominee in the BEST DANCE RELEASE OF THE YEAR category for her record “Release Me” which topped the ARIA Club Chart for 8 weeks earlier this year.

'Release Me' was Zoë's first solo record in which she teamed up with double ARIA award winning outfit TV ROCK who co-produced the track. 'Release Me' is an out and out anthem, and with strong vocals and massive hooks, it raced straight to #1 on the Aria Club Charts where it reigned for a staggering 8 weeks.

In mid 2009, Zoë was busy promoting her 2nd club single “Don’t Wan’cha’ which again saw the TV ROCK lads behind the production desk and featured and impressive remix package including Ian Carey, MYNC Project & Taylor Square. The track shot into the top 10 of the ARIA Club Chart and is currently being championed by some of the globes hottest.

‘In the Moment’, which will be released in November debuted at #29 on the ARIA Club Chart and is up to #6…on its way to #1.

We wish Zoë all the best on the night!
