Weekend Warm Up 54 29th/30st Of August

Hello again,

welcome back to a new Weekend Warm Up Show with an interesting story around the “Retro Track”.
‘Like An Eagle’ by Dennis Parker was released in 1979 on the famous Casablanca Record Label and was produced by Jaques Morali (Village People, Ritchie Family, Eartha Kitt). Beside of his carreer as a singer Dennis Parker aka Wade Nichols was a adult film star appearing mostly in straight porn such as “Maraschino Cherry” and “Take-Off”, and at least one all-male porn film entitled “Boyknapped”. He was best known as Derek Mallory on TV’s “The Edge Of Night” (he even sang the series’ closing theme song) and appeared on the sopa until it ended in 1984. There is also some tragedy around here: he was diagnosed with AIDS-related illnesses and committed suicide in 1985.
When I saw that there is a remix (by Jonnie Polyester , click on the name to visit his myspace!) I had to add it to the show - grew up with disco, loved the original and still own the 7″ vinyl!
Watch the original version of this track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN0hlI3zizM - so 70’s, very funny…
The Kic Pimpz rework the classic 1984 hit ‘Breaking - There’s No Stopping Us’ by Ollie & Jerry, which was previously a top five hit in the UK and a number one in America. The single was one of the Key Buzz tracks at this year’s Midem Conference. My favourite this week!

Weekend Warm Up Show 22nd/23rd Of August

Hello party people,

all the artists, producers and remixers in this show did a great job to deliever perfect dance music, so show some appreciation, listen carefully and DANCE! :-)
As example to the music of Kaskade, we’ll have two tracks from one of the finest house music artists on this planet. The first is my favourite this week, a remix of “Imagination”, a song by New York City’s singer, songwriter, producer and artist Jes. Trance friends might already know the Tiesto mix of this track which can be found on his 2007 release “In Search of Sunrise 6“.
Track No.2 is a original Kaskade song, the latest single release from his fantastic album “Strobelight Seduction” called “Angel On My Shoulder” with remixes by EDX and Funkerman, but I feel the Original Extended.
From Holland we’ll have Synchro & JVA, two DJ’s and producers who released their second single now on Lickin’ Records. “Dancin‘” is a infectious piano driven dance track with perfect vocals - great job guys!
And please do not miss the beautiful new summer mix of Bellatrax’s “I Can’t Help My Self“! You will definately smell the beach and the ocean… <big sigh>
The Tracklist:
1. Degrees Of Motion - Shine On (7th Heaven Club Mix)
2. Natasha Bedingfield - Angel (Moto Blanco Club Mix)
DJ’s Favourite This Week:
3. Jes - Imagination (Kaskade Club Remix)
4. Kaskade - Angel On My Shoulder (Extended Edit)
The Retro Track:
5. Michael Jackson - Rock With You (Freemasons Mix)
6. Cascada - Faded (Wideboys Electro Club Mix)
7. Soldout Meets Larry Ray - Feel Me Again (Roby Montano Extended Mix)
8. John Kano & Chris Moody Feat. Eddie Gaz - Everybody Wants Her (Original Mix)
9. Synchro & JVA - Dancin’ (Original Extended Mix)
10. Bellatrax - I Can’t Help Myself (Summer Mix)

Weekend Warm Up 1st Anniversary 15th/16th Of August

Hello friends,

it is now exactly 1 year ago when I delievered the first show to 2 internet stations (and energy fm is still on board, thanks Lloyd!). By the way: first track I played was the Bimbo Jones remix of Fried’s “I’ll Be There”…

Unbelievable that the show is now on air on 13 stations (will become 14 soon!) worldwide with a constantly growing amount of listeners and with such a great support by record companies, artists, producers… It is very time consuming working on the show but also so much fun that I will promise to be on air for another year!
So let’s celebrate this birthday - and we’ll have a great guestlist for the party!
The show starts with a remake of Cheryl Lynn’s first and biggest hit, “Got To Be Real” which was penned by David Paich (ex Toto) and Lynn. The song peaked at #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the R&B chart. The Electric Allstars with Shena on vocals did a great job with this rework of the disco classic. It’s time to get your retro!
Cahill will perform twice, first with their remix of Taio Cruz’She’s Like A Star” and second with their remix of the huge 2008 Ibiza anthem “Paddy’s Revenge” by Steve Mac.
No party without Moto Blanco - these guys are doing magic on the commercial dancefloors! Enjoy their remix of Michelle Williams’ “We Break The Dawn“.
I am happy to say hello to a guest from France: Laurent Wolf with his latest release “Wash My World“, a perfect ‘Hands Up In The Air’ - party anthem.
Germanys Sash! are back on the dancefloors, this time with a Fonzerelli house remix of their 90’s hit single “Encore Une Fois” (what means “One More Time” in english as far as I know…).
Last but not least we will have a birthday gift on air from our special friends the Bassmonkeys:
80’s US soul singer Eugene Wilde returns with a suberb brand new track on House label Global Harmony which has been remixed by the Bassmonkeys. A full DJ promo campaign begins in September with release soon after, but we will have this track exclusive on air for the anniversary show! WOOOO HOOOO! :-) Thanks Dale, Danny and Mike for your support! Of course my favourite this week!
The Tracklist:

1. Electric Allstars Ft. Shena - Got To Be Real (Club Mix)
2. The Tabledancers - Dancing (Original Mix)
3. Taio Cruz - She’s Like A Star (Cahill Club Mix)

Happy anniversary to us! :-)

Showtime 8th/9th Of August

Hi again,
life is so great… It’s summertime, long days, warm nights, beautiful people, cool drinks and great new music - I could not ask for more! Think I do not need to write about the new Freemasons/Kylie release (looove it!), let’s talk about some other new songs:
The german dance project Fragma released “Toca’s Miracle” in 2000 as a mash-up, taking the music of their 1999 release “Toca Me” and placing the vocals from Coco’s song “I Need A Miracle” over the top. The track went straight to No.1 in the U.K. and was also very popular in Australia and Ireland. This year they released a few new remixes as “Toca’s Miracle 2008″, some of them coming from Italy. The Samuele Sartini mix is perfect, love his work!
A few days ago I was listening to the latest Fierce Angels release “Beach Angels III” and immediately fall in love with a track on CD 3 - The Bassmonkeys have collaborated with Etherfox to create “Another Valentine”. As part of Etherfox, Antigone delievered the wonderful vocals on this little beauty… I was not sure if this song fits into the Weekend Warm Up Show. Works for me, what do you think? My favourite this week!
First featured on the “Defected In the House Eivissa 08″ comp, Bingo Players collaborate with Chocolate Puma - both from the Netherlands - to drop “Touch Me” on the original New York house giant Strictly Rhythm. Already reached No.1 on the Beatport download charts, the Vintage Mix works perfectly for me!
And do not miss ATFC’s and Ghostcopy’s “Don’t Look Back” - to be found on “The Mix Summer 2008″ compilation, this is a typical Hed Kandi track - uplifting, infectious, simply great!
The Tracklist:
1. Georgie Porgie - Can You Feel That Sound (Josh Harris Club Mix)
2. Connected Feat. Max’c - A Feeling (Wideboys Miami Mix)
3. Kylie Minogue - The One (Freemasons Club Mix)
4. Liquid Nation Feat. Andrea Britton - Breathe Life (Fish ‘N’ Chips Mix)
5. Fragma - Toca’s Miracle (Samuele Sartini Extended Mix)
DJ’s Favourite This Week
6. Bassmonkeys & Etherfox - Another Valentine (Original Mix)
7. The Camel Rider & Mark Alston Ft. Mark Shine - Addicted (Wasted Youth Mix)
8. Bingo Players Vs. Chocolate Puma - Touch Me (Vintage Mix)
9. Thomas Gold Ft. Amanda Wilson - Somethings Gotta Give (Wawa Mix)
10. ATFC Feat. Ghostcopy - Don’t Look Back (Original Mix)
The Retro Track
11. Agent Stereo - Fastline
Enjoy the show and have a perfect weekend!
