Dance RSS FeedsSong of the Day: Madonna ft MIA and Nicki Minaj - "Give Me All Your Lovin" - This is probably the most fun Madonna has had on a record in a long time. "Give Me All Your Lovin" is mindless, bubblegum pop with a fast beat that recalls everything from Toni Basil's "Mickey" and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" to her own classics "Material Girl" and "Ray of Light." Throw in a bit of "Misirlou," Martin Solveig's beats and short raps by MIA and Nicki Minaj, and you've got a fun mashed-up dance pop song that sounds modern enough for today's club kids and relatable enough for their parents. Wow, has Madonna's music gone the way of Disney movies - trying to include something for everyone? The video is the obvious Superbowl tie-in with Madonna playing with football players around what looks like a set from the movie Dick Tracy (maybe that's the explanation for the retro blond curly hair). While some may say including the Jabbawo...Feed Source: dancemusic.about.com Song of the Day: Juvelen - "For Only U" - Courtesy of Hybris -
The sweet voice behind "Don't Mess" and "Hanna" comes back with the cutest video ever. It's like that commercial where Jennifer Aniston tries to do everything to make her video go viral. Juvelen needs that kind of help, because everyone needs to know this talented singer. "For Only U" picks up where he left off on his last album, melodic emotional synth pop laden with hooks and beats, and throws a cute kitten on top. As the lead single to his next effort, all I can really say is "Bravo!" And you know, bring more kittens. Whatever it takes, man!

Clubbing in New York City - New "XL" Club on the Scene - While in New York City this week, I was told of a hot new club that just opened in the Time Square/Hell's Kitchen district - XL. Part of a multiuse space (with OUT Hotel and a restaurant), word of XL was definitely buzzing. I popped in on a Tuesday night and was greeted at the door by the mysteriously beveiled mistress Madame Black and nightlife princess jk*Prima. Upon first entering the club, I was impressed by how nice and upscale it was, almost like what you would expect from Vegas. The front room features a circular bar with mood lighting, glass videos screens and of course, gorgeous bartenders. The dj was spinning but the volume was not overwhelming - making it a great area to hang out with friends and talk while enjoying the music. Venturing in the back area, I was instantly drawn to a massive wall sized LED screen installation that was sh... Song of the Day: Grimes - "Genesis" -
Infusing dark synths with ethereal vocals and a sense of intensity gives "Genesis" quite an edge within the first minute. When the beat drops, "Genesis" goes from New Age to Enya meets Janelle Monae. The result is as bouncy as you'd think with layers of maturity and guts. Now that the artist is signed to 4AD records, expect her debut album Visions to drop in the US February 21st. Grimes has some other great tracks to check out for a little history, "Vanessa", "Crystal Ball", and "Oblivion". While Claire Boucher, the name behind Grimes, may be relatively new to the majority of our readers, we're hoping that we get the chance to talk about her some more. This one is a keeper.

Check out more great music in the ... Song of the Day: Computer Magic - "The End of Time" -
When people do what they love, the results are stellar. In the case of Computer Magic (real name Danielle Johnston), this yields effervescent and laid back synth pop. This time it takes the form of "The End of Time", a track that is simultaneously dark and upbeat, leaving your foot tapping to the rhythm and your gears turning in thought. As introspective as the track is, the video takes it to new heights as Computer Magic walks her cute little self around New York City in a NASA astronaut suit. The imagery, as she frolics around a playground and walks across the street in front of cabs, is both playful and nonsensical. Why is she doing this? you might ask. It's ok, we don't know either. Just enjoy the music and stop asking so many questions.
Video - ... Song of the Day: A*M*E feat. Bartoven - "City Lights" -
"City Lights" hits hard in the best nostalgic way. It really seems as if the 90's are the decade of choice for musical inspiration as A*M*E's track seems lifted right out of there. Of course some modern elements are included but even the video openly flaunts the decade stylistically and color-wise. Heck, they could be cast members on A Different World, kickin' it with Whitley. There's a little bit of similarity here between A*M*E and Azealia Banks, both attractive young ladies embracing the electronic genre with panache and gusto and hitting it hard. While Banks takes the cake with her "212", A*M*E and her rapper Bartoven give it a good push with "City Lights", and with any justice, will be packing your dance floor.
Video - Youtube... Beyonce "End of Time" (Remixes) -
Normally, we write about singles for the Listening Booth and Song of the Day. Then came, "End of Time" by Beyonce, which brought about such major conflict between Ben and Ron that they had to face off - reviewing each remix separately. See the lighthearted results of the head to head conflict here.

Coming from the pirate underground, Vato Gonzalez mashes elements of hip-hop, dancehall, baile funk, and house to create an energetic, prime time pumping sound. His debut single "Badman Riddim" was massive making top 10 on the UK pop chart. We caught up with the spirited DJ/Producer during Amsterdam Dance Event and got to the root of the new dirty house sound.

Her voice was so quirky and unique that I just knew that she was going to be big in clubland for a long time. She's put out several incredible records with everyone from Linus Loves and Alex Gaudino to Paul Harris and Richard Dinsdale. We met up during Amsterdam Dance Event and had the most pleasant chat about her classic and upcoming releases.

This is not a surprise considering that he is the man behind "Sandstorm," arguably one of the biggest instrumental dance tracks of all time. With new music and projects on the way, we spoke with him during Amsterdam Dance Event about everything going on his musical life.
