Crafting the perfect mix tape is no mean feat. A subtle balance between crowd warmers, sing along tunes, epic breakdowns and out-n-out club bangers can make the most cynical of music fans start tapping their designer trainers. NEON's latest compilation, the Essential 10, unashamedly packed with dance floor anthems, does exactly that - in a 58 minute mix tape designed specifically for the dance floor.
NEON - renowned for taking undiscovered, local artists such as Zoë Badwi, TV ROCK & Denzal Park to the international stage, and as Australia’s home to acts such as Sidney Samson, Wynter Gordon, Meck, Adrian Lux & Agnes - have pulled together a collection of THE best in current Australian and international talent.
Mixed by TV ROCK’s Grant Smillie, the hour long mix features ARIA Club Chart #1’s from Zoë Badwi, Dirty South, Denzal Park, TV ROCK & Tara McDonald as well as appearances from Axwell, Pendulum, Chuckie and Max Vangeli & AN21’s epic remix of Switchfoot’s Always.
The deluxe version exclusively features the videos for Zoë Badwi’s Freefallin’, Dirty South Phazing and TV ROCK’s international hit In The Air.
Helping NEON support upcoming talent is Pioneer who have donated a Pioneer DJ Mixer 350 pack, which will be released exclusively through NEON’s Facebook community over the coming weeks. The ProPex 350 pack, worth $10,000, includes 2 x CDJ-350, DJM 350 mixer, one touch USB record and a flight case, giving upcoming DJ’s the chance to fine-tune their skills on world-class equipment.
To celebrate the release, the NEON crew will be hitting clubs to unleash the tunes onto dance floors all across the country. A limited number of passes to these gigs will be available exclusively for NEON’s Facebook fans.
A digital only release, the Essential 10 sticks to it's mantra of "All Killers. No Fillers" with ten guaranteed hits for under $10, available through all major digital retailers. The deluxe version is available exclusively on iTunes.
