Tech Slam
Hard to keep up with the amount of Club pouring out of the studios. Featured here are the likes of Demuir, Jeremy Black, Alessio Bianchi, Morttagua, who are rocking the houses and shaking the floors. Mix in a few classics, step aside for the great Teddy Pendergras, and the Tech is slamming.

Power Shock
We open with a funky remake of an INXS classic, drive a beat that powers the floor and shocks the walls, then close with a chess match in Bangkok!! And when the pace slows for a little closeness, if you're not a fan of George Benson, you will be.

Shake Up
Black Circle, Tyree Cooper, Chanelle, and David Penn make their debuts on this site. Already shaking up the European clubs, their divergent styles have one thing in common: a steady, smoking beat. No trips to yesteryear this session. Only modern club at its very best. Spun tight and rocked heavy.

Enjoy !!xyz0Songs: 14 | Time: 49:57 | Size: 68.6mb | DNLs: 101xyz00mp3files/ShakeUp.mp3

UnChill
Besides a brief trip into nostalgia, I limited this session to three genres: Deep House, Techno, Bass & Drums. Still, a hot, rocking beat ties it all together. Don’t come here if you need a quiet, peaceful space. This will leave you unchilled.

Rock yourselves !! xyz0Songs: 14 | Time: 50:07 | Size: 68.8mb | DNLs: 97xyz00mp3files/UnChill.mp3

Party Hour
Mash up or party? This session does not force a choice. It's got both! Contributions by Octoplex, INXS, and an unbelieveably hawt remake by newcomer Simon Faz set a steamy tempo that won't let up. The move and groove season is upon us so party hard everybody. Time is short.

High Heat
Ten of this session's tracks are new to the site. And every one is high heat burning through NYC's dance floors. Still, a romantic ballad by a legendary singer provides a breather before the rhythm again pulsates to close wih a hip-swaying, body-shaking tempo.

Don't miss it !!xyz0Songs: 14 | Time: 47:07 | Size: 64.7mb | DNLs: 210xyz00mp3files/HighHeat.mp3

Club Beats
Despite classics and ballads, this session takes us out to the edges of dance with peeks at Trance and Rave. And as I enjoy doing, it introduces Olivier Giacomotto, Adrina Thorpe, and German Brigante who take the trip but never forget Club's hot, heavy beat. Come on and blast out with us. We'll bring you back.

A trip through time. A little bit classic, a little bit edgy, a little bit trance, listener favorites, and a whole lot of hot, heavy, house. The beat does not slow down, relentless right to the end. It's a session made for those who understand dance and party are eternal synonyms.

Once again a grab bag of genres from then, now, and tomorrow. Don't miss the Pretenders' funky sass and a slight stylisitc change that jumps in and out of tracks faster than floor lights. A hot, fevered spell and a little Flamenco I threw in, just because, makes it a must listen. You'll love it !!

Lava Heat
Even a touching ballad by the Queen of Soul can't slow this session made to pack the floor at the midnight hour. Soul Rebels blast a remake of a club classic and newcomer Velvet Suite Lounge joins Adrian Hour and Harry Romero to make the house hot - lava hot.

I came to this session with no plan and so I let the music take me where it wanted. I won't reveal an included surprise—a remake of a club classic with a brand new intro that will leave you guessing. It rocks the oiginal!

As always, it's a mash-up of club genres made for dance. Get your move on !!xyz0Songs: 14 | Time: 55:17 | Size: 75.9mb | DNLs: 336xyz00mp3files/DownBeat.mp3

Dance Hall
This was a fun session. More techno in parts than usual, but still with a hot, heavy beat. The DJ is right in the mix and the Dance Hall is jammed.

With the tremendous response I got to Joe Cocker in 'Street Jam', this one includes the most soulful, touching ballad I've ever heard. Enjoy !!xyz0Songs: 14 | Time: 50:32 | Size: 69.4mb | DNLs: 347 xyz00mp3files/DanceHall.mp3

Street Jam
Except for a brief, sentimental ballad, I wanted to strip the session down to its raw elements and return to what Club/Dance is all about: tempo, vocals, and beat. Newcomer to this site, Hannah Jones, makes her debut alongside listener favorites Groove Junkies, Sebastian Ledher, and the fast-rising Adrian Hour.

Enjoy !!xyz0Songs: 14 | Time: 59:23 | Size: 81.6mb | DNLs: 344xyz00mp3files/StreetJam.mp3

Rhythm Heat
The Dark Continent's tribal rhythms form this session's thematic signature. Its percussive riffs can heat a dance floor wanting to be savaged. For contrast, I introduce Adrian Hour and Harry Romero to rock the pace.

And here's to a listener who asked for another mix that included Pompeya's 'Power'. As requested, Ms M. Enjoy !!xyz0Songs: 15 | Time: 52:16 | Size: 71.8mb | DNLs: 316xyz00mp3files/RhythmHeat.mp3

Late Night
New York clubs have shifts. This session is dedicated to those arriving after 2am. What takes you guys so long?

The mix recipe? Classic R&B, a dash of Funk, pinch of House, a little trance, some Spanish spice for flavoring, let simmer with a big orchestral finish, serve hot.

Yum !!xyz0Songs: 12 | Time: 51:25 | Size: 70.6mb | DNLs: 347xyz00mp3files/LateNite.mp3

Body Fever
When I put this session together I had in mind the Witchin Hour, when the guys are loose, the women looser and they're daring you to keep them on the dance floor.

It introduces 'Malfunction' by Emok, 'Ride on Me' by 2tooDrums, a really hot lick, and a remake of a classic: 'I'm a Man' by Macho.xyz0Songs: 11 | Time: 50:04 | Size: 68.8mb | DNLs: 322 xyz00mp3files/BodyFever.mp3

Floor Moves
This was a fun session with a great blend of genres including R&B, funk, and dance. Sebastian Ledher, fast becoming a listener favorite, brings two numbers that will move the floor: 'Baby Dolly' and 'Secrets'.

As is my wont in introducing undiscovered artists, this one features 'Deep Air' by Eitan Carmi.xyz0Songs: 13 | Time: 47:06 | Size: 64.7mb | DNLs: 290xyz00mp3files/FloorMoves.mp3

Fire Dance
This was me fooling around, throwing stuff on the wall, seeing what sticks. What emerged is an imaginative session with foot-tapping overdubs and fades.

Following Tom Browne's 'Funkin for Jamaica' is a smokin hot number, 'Power' by the undiscovered group Pompeya.xyz0Songs: 13 | Time: 50:01 | Size: 68.7mb | DNLs: 297xyz00mp3files/FireDance.mp3

Twice Told
Amidst this session's other madness, classic dance hits are intermingled with their modern interpretations. Groovesplitters' remake of 'Got to be Real' does Cheryl Lynn one better.

And because their appearance in Steam Funk proved so popular, INXS again dubs in, this time with 'Wicked Forest' by Man Machine.xyz0Songs: 13 | Time: 48:57 | Size: 67.2mb | DNLs: 273xyz00mp3files/TwiceTold.mp3

Steam Funk
Funk and sass opens this session with the crooner himself, Al Green, leading the way. The tempo then goes upbeat featuring Peat Noise steaming the house.
After a sprinkle of trance and rave, INXS makes a surprise appearance dubbed into a funky lick by an artist with the unlikely name of Ace Ventura. It's a treat!xyz0Songs: 15 | Time: 57:10 | Size: 78.5mb | DNLs: 277xyz00mp3files/SteamFunk.mp3

Time Line
If you close your eyes when this session opens, you'll see Francis at the altar still rocking a packed dance floor at 7 in the morning !!

Smoke House
Here I introduce three artists leading the resurgence of club throughout Europe: Sebastian Ledher, Funkstar De Luxe, and Groove Junkies.

While giving a nod to some dance classics by the sultry Phyllis Hyman and the shameless Grace Jones, these guys bring their own updated style to that "rhythmic, pulsating beat".xyz0Songs: 11 | Time: 49:37 | Size: 68.2mb | DNLs: 268xyz00mp3files/SmokeHouse.mp3

Hot Stew
As the title implies, this session is a fusion of R&B, funk, soul, club and even a ballad. With Lolleata Holloway and Little Sister setting the pace, the stage is set to introduce Tony Moran.

And oh yeah. 43rd Street is definitely in the house. xyz0Songs: 17 | Time: 59:39 | Size: 81.9mb | DNLs: 257xyz00mp3files/HotStew.mp3

Mixed Doubles
This session features a number of the same songs done by different artists and blended with modern dance, techno and deep bass rave rhythms.

Medley Magic
Converted gyms, factories, barns, and churches became hotbeds that burned the dance floors and fueled New York City's underground club scene.

43rd Street veterans will remember Sultana, Olatunji, and Jimmy Castor to name a few. Mixed with some heavy rave, this session will start the party.xyz0Songs: 15 | Time: 47:09 | Size: 64.8mb | DNLs: 266xyz00mp3files/MedleyMagic.mp3
