Dance RSS FeedsSong of the Day: The Toxic Avenger featuring Orelsan - "N'importe Comment" - Make the Girl Dance, Stromae and now The Toxic Avenger - it looks like the focus for European dancepop is going to switch from Romania to France. Combining a deadmau5 inflected track with a catchy male vocal and infusing retro'esque hip hop flourishes, the Toxic Avenger has constructed a strong record that could breakthrough language barriers. As memorable as the track is, its the video that's getting all the buzz with its real life take on living in a digital world. The "Spacebook" themed clip is reminiscent of eurodance videos like "Self Control" by Royal Gigolos and "Cheekah Bow Bow" by the Vengaboys which explored the virtual world that we are starting to live in. Though, never before has the virtual world seemed so real. Interesting note: the title translates as "Anyhow" which makes us wonder if this could be a response to the Ducksauce ...Feed Source: dancemusic.about.com Song of the Day: Far East Movement featuring Dev & The Cataracs - "Like A G6" -
"Like A G6" may sound familiar, especially if you listened to yesterday's Song of the Day. Far East Movement, produced by The Cataracs, used a small sample of Dev's "Booty Bounce" as the hook of "Like A G6". The track is very slimy and grimy, and that approach is perfect with such a seductive vocal sample by Dev. The Far East Movement provides some raps but ultimately, it is Dev's association with this track that really makes it pop. While "Booty Bounce" is a lot more frantic, "Like A G6" has an electro/hip hop swagger that is oh so mainstream and oh so hot. The video plugs the norm: Beats headphones and Cherrytree radio. But honestly, when is self promotion a bad thing? This is definitely the sleeper hit of the summer.
Video - Youtube... Song of the Day: Dev - "Booty Bounce" -
The bass on this track is killer. Dev really goes to making your booty bounce in this gutsy Uffie-soundalike track. I love aggressive female electronica songs because the singers put so much attitude into their delivery that it sells the track completely. "Booty Bounce" is just so darn catchy that all the rest of it melts away and you can just enjoy it for what it is. You can move along if you feel inspired to, act out the words if you're interested, or just sit back and relax. The video is a cute ongoing rotation of Dev in a variety of outfits, looking gorgeous and hipster and random and fierce all at the same time. Some may recognize some of the lyrics of "Booty Bounce", which we will discuss in tomorrow's Song of the Day, some come back and check us out!
Video - ... Song of the Day: The Cataracs - "Club Love" -
"Club Love" is as good an introduction to The Cataracs as any. They have had quite a lot of songs put up on Youtube, but this one is infectious and sexy. The beat is seductive and the boys have excellent vocal performances on the track. This is the type of production that easily garners fans. "Club Love" isn't all that complex, overall it is minimal but that allows all the aspects of the song to fuse together into something that really connects with listeners. Featured on "Club Love" is Dev, who's voice has been raised a bit similar to Fergie's on "Rock That Body". Dev is also featured in the video, the short haired girl with the diamond tattoo on her shoulder. Check back in Monday to see Dev featured!

Check out... Song of the Day: Niamh Egan - "You're The One" -
Niamh (pronounced Neeve) Egan is a new talent on Robbins. Her voice is clear and strong and sounds great in the styles of music presented. "You're The One" is a bouncy dance radio track worthy of Robbins, with a production that really showcases Egan's voice. While the original isn't my cup of tea, Wendel Kos really amps the track up for the dance floor with a catchy synth riff and catchy beats. And since no Robbins release would be complete without a Candelight mix, one is included here. It is here that Egan's voice truly shines. I hope she gets attention because there is a smoky aspect to her instrument that suits multiple genres well. Robbins has another hit on their hands here, but the confusion with the singer's name may cause some potential fans to pass on this. Give it a try, you might like it.

Song of the Day: Candi Lynn - "Hop'N Pop'N" (Disco Fries Remix) -
The Disco Fries (also an urban name for french fries with gravy) are really pumping out some hot remixes. After making a quiet entrance on the scene in 2007, they have quickly become go-to guys for short yet engaging electro jams. A recent winner was Estelle's "Freak", and now they have taken "Hop'N Pop'N" by Candi Lynn and really made it jump. The original is a rhythmic track and while it's not bad, there isn't much to really set it apart and make it pop. The Disco Fries have provided this. The track becomes more focused under their hands and the original vocal gets a little more dramatic. The beat ain't nuffin to scoff at either, so give this one a spin and see who's hop'n and who's pop'n.

Check out more great mus... Song of the Day: Dragonette - "Our Summer"/"Volcano" -
Dragonette's legacy is becoming that of classy synthpop that never sounds trendy or overdone. While typically charged with sexuality, Dragonette's tracks are produced in such a way that not singing along is something of a crime. When Fixin to Thrill was released, Dragonette fans let out that pent-up breath waiting for new material, and now they've recently released an EP of two new songs. Our Summer Volcano is comprised of "Our Summer", a jumpy and energetic party track that surely gets you moving, and "Volcano" which really brings down the mood. Between the two, "Volcano" is the winner as a sleeker and more classic type of track, with some house elements thrown in the synthpop which allow Martina Sorbara's vocals really soar. Between the two, Dragonette has got your summer covered.
"Our Summer" - ... Song of the Day: Afrojack ft Eva Simons - "Take Over Control" -
Eva Simons may not be a familiar name to many. She recently had a track named "Silly Boy" that was often mis-dubbed as Lady Gaga & Rihanna, as the singer's voice emulates both singers somehow. She lends her vocals to this new track from Afrojack, "Take Over Control". Afrojack does some incredible style meshing on "Take Over Control", switching from progressive vocal house to the Dirty Dutch sound that is doing so well these days. Simons' voice translates well over both as Afrojack also manages to mesh the two sounds together towards the end of the track rather than keeping the two ideas entirely separate. So truly, "Take Over Control" is the best of both flavors, and with any justice, will light the dance floor on fire.
Audio - Yout... Video of the Day: Kaci Battaglia featuring Ludacris - "Body Shots" -
The transformation of Kaci Battaglia from tween popstar ("Paradise," "Tu Amors," "I Think I Love You") to sultry dance vixen continues with the release of "Body Shots." Following up her chart-topping "Crazy Possessive," Kaci sings of a debauched night out getting drunk with her friends. With mentions of whipped cream, wet dreams and sucking it down in the lyrics, the inclusion of a rap by Ludacris seemed like a no-brainer. The original version is perfect for pop radio and remixes by Dave Aude and Wawa energize it for clubs. The record is instant. The first time I played it at the club, the crowd was into it and people were either holding up their phones to Shazam it or running up to ask me what it was. The video has the same effect - instant reaction. Could this be the song that crosses Kaci over to the mainstream? Simply answered, ... nuendo 4 issue - Hi Does anyone on the list use nuendo 4? I am getting arbitrary crash errors always resulting in a log file (which is meaningless) being created. Steinberg support said the error relates to insufficient memory but I have 8GB ram on a core 2 quad cpu so I doubt it is memory.... Turn it Loose - Caught a great documentary at the Edinburgh Film Festival last night about the Red Bull B-Boy Championship. Quite enjoyed it, but it had the taint of sponsorship on it. Full review here - (link)... iPhone new 3.0 OS - Upgraded the OS on my iPhone 3G to OS 3.0 yesterday and I (think) I've noticed that the battery life of the phone is getting worse. Anyone else noticed this? One thing I noticed on the iPod controls that has not been publicised much is that you can change the scrubbing speeds / sensitivity when you put your finger on the white dot at the top to drag your way through a track. Is dead handy for scrubbing through mixes as previously the scrubbing was really set up for 5 minutes songs as oppose to 1hr+ mixes.... "If it was the Queen coming then fair enough" - (link)...
