SONG OF THE DAY: Sarah Atereth – “Without You”

Already exploding in the UK (peaking at #1 on the Music Week UK Chart), Sarah Atereth is ready to ignite US dancefloors again. Co-written with Bryan Adams, who recently had a club hit with ?Tonight In Babylon? ( his collaboration with Loverush UK), ?Without You? tells a story about a love lost and the aching still inside. Leading the remix package is The Nightstylers with a mix that fully allows the vocals to be front and center, at times almost ethereal, over a production that demands the listeners? attention. The progressive bassline and varied levels of synthesizers will have you dancing, but through it all you?ll still be hearing Sarah?s haunted torment. This isn?t the Nightstylers? first mix of Sarah, as they remixed ?Fade Away? under the moniker Solasso. If you like your tracks more aggressive, check out Riley and Durrant?s rerub. The energy is insane, with beats banging enough for any big room set and effected vocals that sound outerworldly. In addition to the release of ?Without You? here in the States ? fans can also look forward to a new ten-song album…

SONG OF THE DAY: Rune RK – “Teacup”

Danish producer Rune Reilly Kolsch certainly enjoys jumping through genres from minimal house and electro with his brother as Artificial Funk, to reggae and world beat as Enur, and to progressive house under the moniker Rune RK. His WMC buzz record “Memorize Me” with Databoy follows here with “Teacup,” a subtly minimal track that develops in intensity and becomes as powerful as a big room anthem. The build up is so gradual that you don’t even realize it’s happening. Before you know it you are pumping along with it. DJs who are looking to transition from a mellow opening track to a more big room sound would do well to grab this one. An overtly stylized video clip features mayhem, madness and a head case, personified by Scandinavian models who destroy a ceramic tea service under the voyeuristic enjoyment of Rune himself. Thankfully the models are safely protected by severe facial coverings that will make this video the biggest fetishist fantasy since Armand van Helden’s “Hear My Name.”

SONG OF THE DAY: Felix Leiter ft Amanda Wilson – “Dancin’ Dancin’ (You’re In Love)”

He may be the best DJ you?ve never heard of… She is the featured vocal siren on over forty different releases. Together, they created one club-bangin? release with all the right elements — it?s gritty, progressive, and sexy with the vocal prowess to back the sh*t up. In 2011, DJ Mag voted Felix Leiter ‘Best Large UK Club’ & ’12th Best In The World’ ? the world, folks. Pair this genius with Amanda Wilson ? a semi-finalist way back in 1998 for the Eurovision Song Contest who later helped launched Freemasons with the hits ?Love On My Mind? and ?Watchin?.? Perfectly synchronized in production, ?Dancin? Dancin? (You?re In Love) (Extended Mix)? takes us to that rare, delicious place ? volleying between losing control and self-domination, but always with that whip in hand so we know who comes out on top ? a stiletto boot stomped on back. It?s rare in a production when one can effectively use a guitar, but Amanda walks between the strings like it is a catwalk. Keep your ears open for additional mixes that are due out on this release later in July.
