It's been a couple months since the last update on the Dance/Hits station, so here goes.
In the last couple weeks I've added and deleted over a hundred songs. The station is progressing towards an upbeat groovy format. I have taken out a few obscure deep songs and added more popular Euro and domestic dance songs. You will also find a wider variety of pop artists remixed by dance music veterans.

Here are a few highlights of songs that have been added in the last couple weeks.

.Armand Van Helden - I Want Your Soul
From his latest album Ghettoblaster.

.Janet Jackson - Feedback (jody den broeder club remix)
Sometimes R&B songs don't translate to a dance mix all that well. Feedback has no trouble crossing over. It's heavy electro baseline and Janet's smooth vocals make this one a stand out!

.Beyonce - Naughty Girl (calderone quale club mix)

.Christian Agulara - Ain't No Other Man (ospina sullivan mix]

.Alicia Keys - Diary (hani mix)

.Madonna & Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes (peter rauhofer peter saves paris mix)
A great upbeat club mix from Madonna's next hit.

.Axwell - I Found You
This Swedish DJ/producer runs his own label, Axtone Records. Most of his work has great vocal hooks and funky bass lines to get you movin'.

.Black Science Orchestra - New Jersey Deep
A classic in the underground dance community in the mid 90's.

.Angie Zee - Just Friends (hott 22 mix)
Hott 22 seem to be on the right track with this one. A killer upbeat house track that is good for the lounge or main room.

With summer just around the corner that means lots of music festivals across the country. What big events or dance music festivals are you looking forward to?
Here in Detroit we are gearing up for a three day festival, Movement 08: Detroit's Electronic Music Festival (memorial day weekend).
It's that time of the year when the barren streets of Detroit fill with dance/club enthusiasts.
A few artists that stand out are.
Moby (dj set)
Dubfire
Benny Benassi
Carl Craig (live)
Deadmeau5
Kevin Saunderson
