Happy New Year to everyone. I know we're half way through January but I was a little slow off the mark this year. The January 2021 edition of UP! blends a mix of new tracks with some classics thrown in for good measure. The set kicks off with Kylie's new track "Real Groove" mixed by the very talented DJ Argonaut from Melbourne. Melanie C and Tones And I follow up with their current hits and it's g...

I'll be honest with you, I'm not really into Christmas but it has been a generally terrible year and a few friends have asked me to do a Christmas themed mix so, here it is. I figured that after the year we have all had to suffer through, a little Christmas cheer can go a long way. This set is very house/pop based with tracks from Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Wham, Dirty Disco and Pentatonix...

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...

The second edition of Classics Revisited is a powerhouse collection of hands in the air, dance floor anthems from years gone by. Here are a selection of classics from artists including Fragma, Jennifer Hudson, Deborah Cox, Beyonce` and Jason Derulo just to name a few. Remixes come from 7th Heaven, Wayne G, Tony Moran, Cahill, Ralphi Rosario, Almighty and others. If you are looking for a joyous, se...

The November 2020 edition of UP! eases into the lineup with a smooth remix of Harry Styles' new track "Golden" followed by a new cover of a classic Lisa Stansfield track, renamed "Thin Line". The set continues with some more commercial pop/house remixes of tracks from Topic, PS1, Division 4 and Ella Henderson. Swedish singer Agnes' new single "Fingers Crossed" is given a great remix by Until Dawn...

The second edition of Essential Dua Lipa lends itself towards a big room sound with a host of remixes from circuit DJ's from around the world. The set is book ended by Dua's two most recent charting singles at the time of this production. Kicking off the set is an awesome Russ Rich & Andy Allder remix of "Hallucinate". This duo have been turning out some extraordinary remixes of late and this...

Until Dawn weigh in with two uplifting remixes for Four of Diamonds and Freya Ridings respectively.

I know this month's edition of UP! is a little late, but you know... Covid. Having said that, I hope the September '20 edition of UP! is worth the wait. This set starts off with some smooth house tracks from Taylor Swift, Florrie and Brenda Reed. I also included Wayne G's outstanding & exclusive mix of "Stupid Love" by Lady Gaga as Wayne was kind enough to forward it to me. (Visit his Soundclo...

This Essentials edition is focused on UK recording artist Dua Lipa. It is impossible to not hear a Dua Lipa track on the radio and there is good reason for it. She first appeared in the charts back in 2015 when her track "Be The One" gained popularity. She followed this up in early 2016 with "Hotter Than Hell" which established her unique voice and talent. "Blow Your Mind" further established Dua...

The northern summer is drawing to a close and so is the southern winter (thankfully). The August '20 edition of UP! is the perfect segue to the change in seasons with uplifting vocal house and club anthems from start to finish. The set kicks off with 2 powerhouse male vocal performances from Liam Payne on "Midnight" and John Newman on "High On You". Becky Hill delivers again on her new track "Heav...

The 6th installment in this year's Pride Anthems gets back to some good old fashioned diva's with some new remixes of classic tracks. The set kicks off with a 2020 remix of "Free" by Ultra Nate`. The always reliable Division 4 weighs in with three remixes for Janet Jackson, Katy Perry and Belinda Carlisle. Barry Harris turns in a funky update of Madison Avenue's "Don't Call Me Baby" and Wayne G. w...

Continuing on with Pride Anthems into July 2020, this 5th edition is a step up in pace and intensity. I miss the older style of remixes which would let each song take you on a journey. Today an 'extended club mix' barely clocks in at 4 minutes. This set reverts back to the old style with 10 killer classic tracks all in their full, extended glory. Kicking off the set is Lonnie Gordon's classic "No...

For June/July 2020 I decided to release two editions of Pride Anthems similar to how I do in March with Mardi Gras Anthems. This 4th edition of Pride Anthems has a distinctly different sound and feel to number 3. This edition sits squarely in the big room and circuit arena with some great new remixes of past anthems to have graced the dance floors of Pride events around the world. The set opens wi...

June is the kick off month for various Pride events in the summer around the world although, this year they might be virtual events considering the ongoing effects of Covid19. That doesn't mean that we can't celebrate with more classic anthems that have made their mark at Pride parties over the years. The June 2020 edition of Pride Anthems does exactly that. Kicking off the set is an amazing Divis...

This 5th edition of Essential Kylie Minogue focuses predominantly on tracks released from her albums 'X', 'Aphrodite', 'Kiss Me Once' and 'Golden'. All of the remixes on this edition lean more towards the big room and circuit sound. Tracks such as "New York City" & "Kiss Me Once" get excellent remixes from Toy Armada & DJ GRIND as does "Beautiful" her collaboration with Enrique Iglesias. "...

We are almost half way through the year and have to suffer yet another month of stay at home indoor disco dancing. Fortunately, you now have UP! May 2020 to rescue you. There are also some great online streaming events to lift your spirits such as DJ Dan Murphy's 'Camp' live stream. This month's edition of UP! packs a commercial house punch in the front end of the set. Kicking it off is the excell...

The 4th edition of Essential Kylie Minogue focuses on her single releases in the 2010's. Her album 'Aphrodite', released in 2010 spawned the hit singles "All The Lovers", Get Outta My Way" and "Better Than Today". The world tour that followed was spectacular in both staging and success. She also collaborated with Taio Cruz on "Higher" which was an instant club hit. Her follow up album 'Kiss Me Onc...

Okay, so it has been over a year since part 2 of the Essential Kylie series was released but the reason has been the difficulty in finding quality remixes of her singles from the late 90's and early 2000's. This is where my good friend Rob (aka Division 4) stepped in and helped me out enormously. He generously gave me some of his personal and private remixes that he had done of Kylie and I am extr...

I was going back through some of my earlier tracks recently and decided I would put them together in a series called Classics Revisited. These are songs from the last 20 years or so which when you hear them make you think, 'oh I remember that song'. This first edition has tracks from Alexis Jordan, Debby Holiday, Peyton and Kylie Minogue to name a few with remixes coming from 7th Heaven, Dave Aude...

The April edition of UP! has inadvertently become a 'home use' edition. With Covid-19 practically shutting the world down in an unprecedented way, a self isolating disco at home seems to be the only way to recapture some feel good musical vibes. This months set kicks off with some smooth house & progressive house tracks from Karen Harding, Becky Hill, Alan Walker and Joel Corry. Remixes come f...

After every big night out or major dance party event, a recovery is required. This is not a chill out session, this is a smaller gathering where you can still either dance or relax a bit without the frantic main floor beats smacking you over the head. This is where the second edition of recovery comes in. This set, like it's predecessor, is more laid back in style, decreasing in BPM as it progress...

It's Mardi Gras time in Sydney again so it's time for the men to shine. This 13th edition of Mardi Gras Men continues the tradition of capturing a blend of older classic tracks with newer remixes and putting them together with more current male artists. The set kicks of with Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" which was one of the biggest selling songs of the 80's. Queen & David Bowie, Elt...

Continuing on with the 2020 editions of Mardi Gras anthems comes the 14th installment. This edition explodes out of the gate with a killer remix of Kylie's "Love At First Sight" by Tommer Mizrahi and the energy level kicks on right to the end. Classic tracks from Florence + The Machine and N-Trance get great new mixes from Sagi Kariv along with an awesome Guena LG remix of the 90's anthem "Ride On...

The March edition of UP! is always a 2 parter. I do this because of the history of club anthems played at the party over the years. Part 13 of Mardi Gras anthems arrives a little sooner than usual as Mardi Gras falls on the 29th of February 2020, this year being a leap year. So, preparations need to be made. The front end of the set has new remixes of classic diva tracks starting off with the Dirt...
