• Episode 198: Global Dance - Best Of Almighty Part 2

  The remix geniuses from Almighty are back in this second edition of their Best Of. In this set, I've used a lot of their high energy club mixes from the late 90's and 2000's. This particular time in their anthology was filled with punchy club mixes that had a higher BPM with lots of synth builds and drops. There is a good spread of songs from original artists as well as cover versions, all of which have been given stellar extended mixes. Featured are hits from Cher, Pet Sop Boys, Ricky Martin, Kylie Minogue, Evelyn Thomas, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry to name a few. I did put a different version of "Perfect Day" on this edition as I love that song so much. I also included two classic songs from Donna Summer. Part 2 of the Best of Almighty rounds out over three decades of dance floor anthems produced by some of the best remixer's in the business.

I've been on annual leave in January and have been doing a bit of traveling in Australia and before I knew it, half of the month had disappeared.

• Episode 196: Global Dance - Best Of Almighty Part 1

  I have been wanting to do a best of Almighty mix since the first one I released for Division 4 a few years back. Like the Hex Hector and 7th Heaven anthologies, there is just so much music to choose from, hence the reason I decided to break it up into a part 1 and a part 2. The track selection for part 1 was a long and drawn out process. There were so many songs I wanted to include and before I knew it, I was up to 50+ songs. Coming to my senses, I trimmed this down to 36 tracks sitting in the 124 to 130 BPM range. Part 2 will explore the higher energy remixes from 132 BPM plus. Almighty officially launched in 1989 with their aim to produce dance remixes of tracks that did not have suitable remixes for the club scene at the time. These tracks were mostly covers of the original artists but they do have an extensive list or remixes for original artists as well. My formative clubbing years were in the 90's and the Almighty sound was synonymous with uplifting, driving dance tracks. Almighty had a team of in house remixers/producers as well as remix teams that would come in on an ad hoc basis. John Dixon who went on to form 7th Heaven was an original in house producer. Almighty releases songs with singers, a lot of whom perform under pseudonym's, as a policy for not identifying already famous singer/song writers in the form of 'projects'. Although they were well established in the gay club music scene by the end of the 1990's, Almighty gained world wide attention when they produced and mixed singles for Cher such as "Believe" and "All Or Nothing" (one of personal favourites). They have since gone on to remix songs for Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, Cheryl Cole, Usher, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross and even Elvis Presley. Their remixes are aptly titled 'definitive', 'essential', 'transensual', pop'd up' and 'anthem'. If you enjoy hands in the air, pure joy vocals on the dance floor, then this is the mix for you. Get ready for the adrenaline rush that is Almighty. EnjoyAnthony1/ "YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE" - RESPECT ft.

• Episode 195: Global Dance - UP! December 2024

  It's hard to reconcile that another year has flown by and we are in December already. This final edition of UP! for 2024 has a blend of house and club tracks to keep you dancing into the New Year. The set kicks off with Alok's new track "Body Talk" then moves into 7th Heaven's new remix of their classic track "This Is Your Life". Dirty Disco features four remixes here, the first being "Set Yourself Free" by Celeda. A smooth house mix that glides along. Mark also does remix duties on tracks for Lady Gaga, BB Hayes and Cher. I'm really looking forward to the release of the fourth installment of his Pop Classics Reworked early in 2025. Division 4 delivers a punchy mix of Tate McRae's "It's Ok I'm Ok" as does Robbie Rivera on "Your Kinda Love". Drew G (working here as Drew Gilbert) spins Katy Perry's track "Crush" into dance floor heaven and Robbie Carrigan delivers a power house new mix of "Live You All Over" by Deborah Cooper. The Edson Pride remix of Kylie's "Lights Camera Action" is an anthem and 7th Heaven once again bring their unique skills to a cover of Cher's "You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me". Cher herself teams up with Kelly Clarkson to close out the set with "DJ Play Me A Christmas Song". That's as festive as I get this time of the year :) I wish all my listeners and the crew at podomatic a safe and happy holiday season. See you in 2025.

• Episode 194: Global Dance - UP! November 2024

  I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to summer Down Under :) In celebration of it's approach, I've put together a delicious set of summer inspired house tracks and big room bangin' anthems. The set kicks off with three house infused tracks from Melanie Masson, 808 Beach and Sigala respectively. Sagi Kariv delivers a decidedly different sound for him on his track "Feel It" and the always amazing Division 4 puts his unique spin on Belly Dancer". Dirty (the man can do no wrong) Disco pumps out three awesome mixes for Gracie Abrams (daughter of director JJ Abrams) and Charli XCX as well as Kylie Minogue's new track "Lights Camera Action". So excited I've got tickets to see her in Sydney in March next year.  Wayne G. & Andy Allder turn Paul Hetherington's "Thrill Of The Chase" into a dance floor anthem. From here we move into big room/circuit territory with thumping club mixes of "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter, and "Disease" by Lady Gaga to close out the set. I found the horrific results of the USA election to be very off putting so I needed to focus on good vibes with this set. EnjoyAnthony1/ "SO LONG" (ON MY WAY) (Morgan's Club Mix) - MELANIE MASSON AND RESPECTABLE2/ "WHATEVER DADDY SAYS" (John J-C Carr Glitter Club Mix) - 808 BEACH ft.
