Tracklist 1st/2nd Of August

Hello again,
a couple of excellent female vocals in one show - Shena, Katherine Ellis, Amanda Wilson, Rochelle Fleming, Alison Wade… Brand new tracks from artists and DJ’s like Yves Larock, Seamus Haji, Bimbo Jones, Wawa… and also a great newcomer - what a lineup for this coming weekend!
My favourite has been written & produced by Focus Audio - a young producer from the UK - this is his first track release and it’s set to take the radios & clubs by storm. On vocals: Sherelle McKenzie - brilliant job!
Do not miss the latest release of the swiss DJ/producer Yves Larock - “By Your Side” is a perfect track for this summer - which is extemly hot here in Germany at time…
Talking about extremly hot: do not miss “Keep This Fire Burning” by The Outsiders. This track has an interesting history… originally penned by Robyn and going on to become a UK top 20 hit for soul diva Beverley Knight (an early Estelle featured track too!) in 2005. 2008 the brilliant Wawa delievered the perfect peaktime house remix for this summers’ floors with the vocals by Amanda Wilson - do I need to say more? This one is going to be seriously huge… so listen now!

WUPS 25th/26th Of July

Hello Party People,

got some great feedbacks for the show last weekend - hope that you will enjoy this one too… We will have news from Moto Blanco, Alphabeat/Wawa, Eric Kupper/Taxi Doll and even a Dolly Parton remix, so it looks like I am all set to satisfy my spoiled listeners. :-)
This time we will enjoy 2 retro remixes in one show, we’ll start with the 7th Heaven remix of ‘December 1963′ (Oh What A Night) by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, a huge hit from 1975.
5 years later Dolly Parton released her classic track ‘9 to 5′ which reached No. 11 in the U.S. 200 charts  and No.1 in the country charts. Love To Infinity made a great remix, this is what Andy Lee, one member of LTI, had to say about it:
“All I can say is WHAT A VOICE …..the accapella sounds amazing!! She has such an amazing tone!! Little known fact the vocal on this record is ONE TAKE off Dolly with a small repair on verse 2 thats it…one take , she is amazing!!!”
To support the recent release of their greatest hits long player ‘Raise Your Hands’, X-Press 2 re-release the 2002 club classic ‘Lazy’ with brand new remixes. Among others, Moto Blanco delievered a perfect remix for the commercial dancefloor.
My favourite this week is another italian production coming from the Houndogz (also known as the Hound Dogs). They released their debut single ‘I Like Girls’ in the UK at the tail end of 2005.. ‘Internet Love’ contains a sample of ‘Is It Love You’re After’ by Rose Royce and is co-written and produced by Stefano Silvestri, member of Phunk Investigations
And finally: the “2 from 1″ mashup is back this week with two 2008 remixes of Ultra Nate’s ‘Automatic’, both of them 2 good not to have them in the show. We start with the work of the men of the hour, Tikaro, J Louis & Ferran from Spain and end up with the Riff ‘N’ Rays remix.
Have a good listen, enjoy the show and don’t forget: I am always happy about some feedback… ;-)

Weekend Warm Up 18th/19th Of July

Hello friends,

what a wonderful week, so many excellent new tracks in one show - the start into this weekend will become perfect! 
So hard to pic a favourite this time, I had to choose between a brand new release of the Buzz Junkies, they reworked Alison Limerick’s “Where Love Lives”, Stonebridge’s version of Ne-Yo’s smash “Closer”, a perfect remix by Cahill of Chris Brown’s “Forever“, the Teamsters (aka Morjac from Denmark) are back after their huge hit “Feels Like Love” now with a Seamus Haji remix of “Shake It Off“, a great remake of Tracy Chapman’sFast Car” by After 6
Do you remember the unique voice of Monica Bragato alias Moony and her huge hits “Point Of View” and “Dove”? We had to wait long for new releases but now she is finally back with “I Don’t Know Why”! One word: Massive…
Usually we do not have boybands in the show. O.K., we had Westlife once, but the Wideboys mix was so good… And now there is another track of a new boyband called Avenue that you should check out, the remix of “Last Goodbye” is coming from Digital Dog and I really like what they did!
But which one is my favourite? Finally I decided to pick another production from Italy, Maurizio Tognarelli and Marco Bertani are having the power to rock this show… “I Get Power” is a perfect party track with an old school feeling, love the vocals!
Enough writing, time to party! :-)

Showtime 11th/12th Of July

Hello again,

why do more people listen to the Weekend Warm Up Show? That’s an easy one - because party people on the Canary Islands will listen on UK Away FM this coming weekend… Welcome! :-)
And they should listen, not only because we will have Samuele Sartini’s wonderful new track ‘Let’s Get Back The Feeling’ again (LOOOOOVE this song!) but also because of a couple of great new songs:
Lenny B. (’B’ stays for Bertoldo), born and raised in Boston Massachusetts, released a new feel good vocal disco house track with an infectious hook called ‘Radical’.  A sure summer hit, my favourite this weekend.
Regular “WUPS” listeners already listened to Connected’s smash hit ‘A Feeling’  2 weeks ago. Remix came from Mr. Fonzerelli. Now there is a new remix coming from the guys from 7th Heaven I like a lot too - which one is better? You can decide yourself, listen to both mixes: it’s Happy Hour again - 2 from 1!
Happy to have a fresh Moto Blanco mix in the show, ‘If This Is Love’ by The Saturdays is already on No.1 at the DMC Mainstream Charts this week, right before the new Madonna release (we will have next week by the way…)!
Many more great new songs are on air this weekend - enjoy the party!

Weekend Warm Up 4th/5th Of July

Hello Party People!

What a great week - so many excellent new tracks in one show, hard to choose a favourite…
The echo of ‘So Many Times’ can still be heard in our memories. Gadjo provoked many smiles with this megahit that rocked dance floors around the world. Now after a long rest Gadjo strikes again with ‘It`s Alright’, another tune that will reach the top of the charts just like his previous hit. He has created another perfect production using another catchy tune that just won’t go away. The best remix is coming from Italy’s Alex Gaudino - this is my favourite this week!
The next new track is coming from Denmark, Beatchuggers alias Mike Polo alias Michael Linde had his first hit with a rework of Eric Clapton’s ‘Forever Man’ which became one of the hottest dance hits in the world in 2000. His latest release with a couple of remixes and stunning vocals by Tara McDonald is called ‘Naked’. Great job!
In 2001 Crystal Waters released a song called ‘Enough’. Still like this track and it is time to have it in the show, but I could not decide which remix to choose. That’s why I made some kind of a Happy Hour out of it, 1 artist, one song, 2 remixes - 2 from 1!  :-) Hope you’ll like it, let me know and you will get more tracks mixed like this…
Party time now, enjoy!
