Anthony Whitlock's Podcast

This month's edition of UP! has been one of the most difficult for me to put together. One of my dearest friends of over 30 years passed away this month and it has been difficult to reconcile the profound feelings of grief and loss that have swallowed me, his beautiful partner, his family and friends. David was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew him. I wasn't sure how I could translate that into a musical set that would do him justice. We had so many amazing nights out and in over the years. I have selected some songs that have uplifting, positive and powerful messages. These are some of my all time favourites mixed by some of my favourites in a T-Dance format. And to Derek, if you are reading this then you will know the significance of the closing song. This is the one that pulled David out of his mood on the dance floor at the Midnight Shift all those years ago. David, you will be missed but never forgotten. xx

It's time for the men to shine. It is Pride month after all and the ladies have already featured on Pride Anthems. The Pride Men editions tend to lean towards gay or non binary artists but I've thrown a few straighties into the mix, basically because the songs are great and the remixes enhance them even further. Speaking of remixers', Dirty Disco, 7th Heaven, Division 4, Robbie Carrigan and Toy Armada & Jace M feature heavily here with excellent remixes of classic and current songs. Featured artists include Prince, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Cheyenne Jackson, Jason Derulo and Elton John to name a few. This set starts out in the House arena and builds its way into the Big Room arena. As I always say, be happy, be safe and play nice with the other kids. Happy Pride. Enjoy

The always amazing Division 4 features  three of his mixes here for Olivia Dean, Harry Styles and Madonna respectively. Producer Andy Allder has a new track out called "Raise Me Higher" and it is a club anthem. Toy Armada also features two remixes here for Leanh and also his collaboration with Jace M and Ellie Lei. Dirty Disco puts his spin on Bebe Rexha's massive hit "New Religion" as well as an exclusive remix of Kylie's "Night Owl" which is another instant classic. We are only one month away from Pride in June which of course means Pride Anthems will be back. Until then, get carried away with this vocal smorgasbord. Enjoy
