Chicago, IL - Dee Dee

"The One"

Robbins Records

The Extended Mix, Peter Luts Remix, and Ian Van Dahl Remix are all at the 141BPM range and have that Hi-NRG House sound that will drive your dance floor in the peak hours. I settled on the Kidjemet & Kovac mix; it has more of a Trance-House sound. The vocal is hot, the NRG is definitely there and I love the way it drops out and in. - Michael Limacher



Lime

"No Other Love (I Need It Bad)"

Unidisc Music

Hey it's been years since we've heard the Classic Lime Hi-NRG sound. The Album Mix has that classic opening synth sound with a Latino vibe going on during the break. The chorus is infectious and you'll be singing to it as well. There's a Radio Mix, an Underground Mix and a Hot Latino Mix. The album is entitled "Love Fury", with several soon-to-be hits on it as well! - Michael Limacher



New from Deep Dish, off the Global Underground label, is "Deep Dish Toronto". D.D. get points for serving this up true to their style: Progressive! The double CD catches all the progressive sounds with tunes that have a smooth feel yet carry the true progressive bang of the dance floor. All the proggy heavyweights clock in with tunes by Aalacho, Elisa, Knight Keys, and TheYoungsters. Remixing on these tunes is done by Creamer & K, Evolved (from Miami) and Sander Kleinenberg. Deep Dish's mixing is flawless and beat perfect. If you are a fan of true progressive house then pick this up when it hits the streets.

Forget what you know about Peter Rauhofer and the hype dancefloor! Ok, so his new CD contains songs like "Break 4 Love", Ono's "Thin Ice", Lamya's "Black Mona Lisa" and Lydia Rhode's "Dreams"…but they are done like you never knew Peter to do them. His new Star 69 release "Cafeteria Hear" is a CD mix compilation for the chill out lounge. He displays his blue-eyed soul for the crowd that loves blue lights in the basement. This is definitely an artistic venture on Peter's part and I feel he succeeds. Any DJ who can put Kool & The Gang's original "Summer Madness" on a mix compilation gets my vote. Score one for the chill-out lounge and Star 69. - ce
