This year's Pride Anthems is probably one of the campest episodes I've ever put together. I've done this on purpose because I think this year in particular the LGBTQI+ community could do with a break from the relentless persecution that it has been suffering around the world - especially in the USA. I've never understood how one small section of the community just wanting to live their lives in peace can cause so much hatred from other people in the broader community? So my small contribution is to provide 2 1/2 hours of joyous, hands in the air music to help take your minds off the negativity and celebrate the fabulous global community that we are. There are so many divas packed into this set that it is a veritable who's who of empowering vocalists we have come to love over the years.. Rather than list them all, you can listen to them and hopefully find joy in this trip down memory lane. Having said that, the remixes are vital to the overall project and there are some heavy hitters here. Dirty Disco, 7th Heaven, Division 4, Wayne. G and Toy Armada all feature stellar remixes alongside Russ Rich & Andy Allder, Tommer Mizrahi, Robbie Carrigan, Almighty and Thunderpuss. Get out and party with friends, celebrate who you are and stay safe. Happy Pride. Enjoy

Just one month to go before Pride month kicks off in June, but before that, we need to discuss the May '25 edition of UP! I wanted a balance of house/pop tracks to open the set, then moving into some big room bangers to close it out. The set kicks of with the smooth StoneBridge mix of "Dance In The Dark" and rolls into Ed Sheeran's latest "Azizam". I used a track by Hollway on my last episode which I really liked and then found a bunch more of his on Beatport. I really like his music and the fabulous Andy Allder has mixed a number of his tracks including "I Need To Know". Dario Xavier features three remixes here for Becky Hill (a different style for him), Benson Boone and Jordan Firstman. Mark from Dirty Disco gives his signature uplifting energy to Gaga's "Abracadabra" as do Toy Armada and Jace M on Jules Liesl's "Cherry". The set closes out with big room mixes for Lola Young and Katy Perry respectively. The May edition should definitely keep you UP! and moving until Pride rolls around. Enjoy

This month's edition of UP! is short but punchy, jam packed with uplifting pop and house anthems. Kicking off the set is the beautiful 7th Heaven mix of "I'll Take A Chance" by Hollway. Bright Light Bright Light returns with his new track "Revived". In fact the first four songs are all by male artists.. Brady Prince delivers an awesome remix of "Can't Get Enough" by Soulsearcher and Kylie Minogue teams with YouNotUs on "Someone For Me". Sabrina Carpenter teams up with Dolly Parton in a duet I didn't know I needed on "Please Please Please". Dirty Disco does the remix honours for both Kylie and Sabrina. David Guetta and Sia get the AfroJack remix treatment on "Beautiful People" and Russ Rich and Andy Allder close the set out with a stunning mix of Chappell Roan's "California". Enjoy

Here we are with the all male vocal edition of Men - Mardi Gras Men. I wanted to get this done before the actual main party weekend but I had so much going on, I had to push it back further in the month. This coming of age 20th edition of Men wastes no time in getting into it. The set kicks off with the awesome remix of "My Universe" by Coldplay from my good friend Rob of Division 4 and then swings into the funky sound of "Good Times". 7th Heaven feature three remixes here. The first is for Guy Sebastian's "Battle Scars". Guy is one of my all time favourite male vocalists. He won the first season of Australian Idol and he's voice is sublime. I've met him a couple of times through work and he is an absolute delight. If you're not familiar with his music (he writes all of his songs), then check him out. I've also met Adam Turner a few times in London and he is also a delight. He is the lead vocalist on the song "Amazing" featured here. He is also a music producer and his remixes are awesome. I've know Wayne G. for years and he is so much fun. He throws in two beautiful mixes for Bruno Mars and Darren Hayes respectively and then we're off into the big room sound. Robbie Carrigan is producing some amazing remixes (check out his Soundcloud page) and here he delivers a top notch mix of "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life - another Australian band from the 80's. Toy Armada & DJ GRIND deliver two anthems for Hardwell and R5 respectively and how could I not include any set without a couple of stand out mixes from DJ Mark De Lang of Dirty Disco. Here he works his magic on "I Feel Love" and "Stay". The set closes out with another beautiful 7th Heaven remix for boy band A1. The men absolutely rule in this pumping set. Enjoy

The March 2025 edition of Mardi Gras Anthems marks a decade of anthems as I started making them back in 2015. For this set I've reached back to classic hits from the 80's and 90's with modern updates as well as some more recent songs from this millennium. The set kicks off with a repurposed mix of Kylie's "Better The Devil You Know" followed by an updated mix of "Happenin' All Over Again" by Lonnie Gordon, which was one of my favourite Stock Aitken Watermen songs from back in the day. The amazing Division 4 provides three stand out mixes here for Madonna, Aretha Franklin and Vanessa Amorosi respectively. The equally amazing Mark from Dirty Disco also features four of his mixes here and as always, I'm very grateful to them both for providing me with their remixes. Classic songs from Anastacia, Céline Dion, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Tina Cousins and Cher all feature here. One of my all time favourite songs from the 90's was "Heaven" by Sarah Washington and here it is given a killer new remix from 7th Heaven. Robbie Carrigan delivers a stellar mix of the classic "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls as well. I'll be away for the whole Mardi Gras weekend celebrating my birthday so here are some awesome anthems to help you celebrate Mardi Gras. Enjoy

The Goddess, The Queen. I have been a Kylie Minogue fan since she first released "The Locomotion" as a charity single back in 1987. Back in those days it was the Tweens and the Gays who were her loyal fan base but as Kylie matured, so did her music and her style. Her unique ability to reinvent herself without losing sight of herself and always being incredibly generous to her fans has kept her relevant in the changing landscape of pop music. I have been to all but one of her concert tours in Australia and I make no apologies for that. A few years back, an amazing thing happened in Kylie land, at least as far as I'm concerned anyway. The extraordinarily talented Mark from Dirty Disco started remixing her more recent single releases from her albums "Disco", "Tension" and "Tension ll". He also took on two of her global classics "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". For me personally, this is the best thing that could have happened to Kylie's music on the dance floor. I've always thought that a lot of her remixes on past hits always seemed to be lacking punch or drive. Not the case with Dirty Disco. Mark takes her songs and completely rebuilds them into stomping dance floor anthems. In honor of her latest Australian tour, (which I will be attending on March 3rd this year), I've put together an anthology of Mark's remixes for Kylie to help prep the fan base for her tour. Kylie and Dirty Disco - this really is a match made in heaven. Enjoy

The remix geniuses from Almighty are back in this second edition of their Best Of. In this set, I've used a lot of their high energy club mixes from the late 90's and 2000's. This particular time in their anthology was filled with punchy club mixes that had a higher BPM with lots of synth builds and drops. There is a good spread of songs from original artists as well as cover versions, all of which have been given stellar extended mixes. Featured are hits from Cher, Pet Sop Boys, Ricky Martin, Kylie Minogue, Evelyn Thomas, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry to name a few. I did put a different version of "Perfect Day" on this edition as I love that song so much. I also included two classic songs from Donna Summer. Part 2 of the Best of Almighty rounds out over three decades of dance floor anthems produced by some of the best remixer's in the business. Enjoy
