Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that
takes the classic mixtape approach to building
a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn.
Joining me for tonight's collaboration is longtime
friend Doug Miller, DJ for Elite Sound Entertainment,
one of New Jersey's premier DJ and entertainment
companies. Doug, welcome back, man. Hey, Brian.
It's good to be here, brother, as always. Can't
wait to get this list going, man. I'm excited.
Same here. And the last time you were here...
Way back on episode 22, it's been a long time,
we talked about the year in hip hop for 1993.
But tonight, we're going to move away from rap
and hip hop and focus on 90s club and dance anthems.
With all your years of DJing, everything from
clubs to house parties to weddings, what were
you looking for in the songs you brought to the
mix tonight? Well, it was a feeling that I found
when I was younger. That's basically what I was
looking for. My uncle used to own nightclubs.
And one day, this young guy walks in and everybody
goes crazy. It was one of the first openings,
you know, they invite the family and stuff like
that for like a soft opening. And everybody went
nuts. And I was like, who is that? Oh, that's
Subway. That's the DJ. I was like, what's the
DJ? I didn't know what this was. This wasn't
a career day. They had plumber environment. So
this guy's like, you show up to a party, all
the guys like you, all the girls like you, and
then they give you money? That's a thing? Okay.
So I started following around, carrying this
crate, so on and so forth. But I remember that
look, that look on people's face when a certain
song hits and they just go, oh, that's my song.
And I would see it for my parents' generation,
I think, with sound work and stuff. So I wanted
to bring that to people my age. And when I did
it, that's the first thing I would look for.
What songs make me go like that? So when I'm
either behind the table and I want to play something,
then it's going to get that reaction. Or when
I'm out there in the crowd and I hear a song
and it goes, ah, it's perfectly timed. That's
right where that song should be played. And somebody
plays it. I'm looking for songs that did that
to people, almost no matter where you play them
in the night. I am sure this is going to be one
of those instances where I was definitely somebody
that went to a lot of clubs in the 90s, but I
was also going to a lot of rock clubs and concerts
at the time. So it was a lot less than, let's
say, the people that were going clubbing every
weekend. So I consider myself to be more of a
novice in this category and more of the mainstream
guy. And I'm actually looking for you tonight.
to pull out some deeper bangers that could really
get people's eyebrows raised. Yeah, I got a few.
I got a few in there. I took it a little light.
There's a lot of stuff. I mean, it's such a big
scene. You can go mainstream club as far as,
you know, stuff you're going to find in Jersey,
things like that. Songs that will probably also
cross over and make radio hits. And then there's
a whole other scene there. I mean, going to places
like the limelight, the tunnel, the sound factory,
things like that. There's songs that are just,
they're so deep cuts and are so great. But, you
know, obviously a lot of the public wouldn't
know it unless you were in that kind of light.
It's a lot harder to distinguish DJs from singers
and bands, you know, because there's certain
styles of songs that people make that are kind
of their niche in that club scene. And, you know,
at a better end, you know, you hear somebody's
voice and you go, oh, that's Soundgarden. Oh,
that's Metallica. And it's very easy to kind
of distinguish them that way. Whereas with this
music, you kind of have to be into that scene
to get the difference in a lot of them. Well,
let's get down to business. Tonight, as I mentioned
at the top of the show, Doug and I will be curating
a 90s club and dance anthems mixtape. And we're
going to use the old cassette deck approach.
Doug, as my special guest, will begin side A
with his first song choice, and then I'll add
a track that I feel best follows up that choice.
We'll then flip -flop choosing songs until we've
mapped out 10 songs for side A. We'll then give
our mixtape a proverbial flip, and we'll map
out side B, only this time I'll kick things off
with Doug choosing second. Our overall goal for
this episode is to craft the best 90s club and
dance anthems mixtape possible. through only
20 songs. At the end of the show, you can take
our conversation to the next level by visiting
the episode page at myweeklymixtape .com to give
our final mixtape a listen via the embedded playlist.

And a few of the Patreon mixtapers chimed in
with songs that they would use to kick off a
90s club and dance anthems mixtape, and it's
time to let their voices be heard. Well, their
thoughts, my voice, I digress. Philip Bergman
chimed in saying that this topic is cool conversation
fodder because in the decade that followed, Different
remixes really affected how much you liked the
song, and you even saw that a bit in the late
90s. But with that said, he would kick things
off with Amber's This Is Your Night or London
Beat's I've Been Thinking About You. Chad LaMassa
chimed in saying you can go in multiple directions
with this topic, being techno or just radio hits
that possibly were played in clubs. And for the
techno side of things, he's going with Alpha
Team's Speed Racer remix, the dirty version.
And for the club side of things, he's going with
C &C Music Factory's Gonna Make You Sweat, Everybody
Dance Now. And Tom Hutchinson chimed in saying
Hathaway's What Is Love has to make this list
and mentions how the Night at the Roxbury skit
made that song infamous. He also chimed in with
Fatboy Slim's F 'ing in Heaven. Once again, if

Now with that said, Doug, I'm officially going
to press the record button on our mixtape and
turn the mic over to you. Why don't you tell
us why you're kicking off your 90s club and dance
anthems playlist with the Macarena? Well, I mean,
what other way are you going to get a party started?
It's universal. Who doesn't love that dance?
If I'm going to start a mixtape for 90s dance
anthems, I got to go with this song first. This
song is by a New Jersey group. Came out in 92.
I remember going to boys club dances. And the
minute you heard this, you knew the party was
started. This song is called Follow Me by Elias.
1992's Strictly Rhythm is the label. Dance anthem.
This song was a moving beat. It had a melodic
sound. Almost like it was. composed as opposed
to when you would at that time think of a dance
song being made, I guess, with the computer,
so to speak, you know, as opposed to instrumentally.
But it just was a beautiful, beautiful sound.
The beat was moving. It had words and lyrics
which were actually, you know. Some more peaceful
stuff where like a unifying kind of song, everybody
could buy to it. And it's just a great party
starter. Everybody knows it. The way he sings
that melody is just infectious. And that's definitely
my starter for number one. Starting with some
deep house. I like where you're going here. Not
messing around. This is an underrated song to
kick things off with. It only reached number
eight on Billboard's club songs chart. It never
hit a top 100. So this is definitely one that
got a lot of love around the New Jersey, New
York club scene. But maybe the rest of the country,
this might be a brand new, quote unquote, 90s
dance track. I think it's a good way to spread
kind of music that doesn't necessarily chart
commercially well, but charts with the people.
I think of it like the movie Bulldog Saints.
It came out. and went overlooked by everybody.
And then 10 years later, everybody's loving it,
becomes a cult classic. It's because it's panned
critically, but then when the people get their
hands on it, they're like, that's exactly what
we were looking for. Well, I'm going to follow
it up, and I'm going to stay kind of in this
house vibe, but I'm going to introduce a little
bit more of the club element, a little bit more
of the European side of things. And this is a
song that came out, I want to say it was the
same year as Follow Me. This was 1992. Yeah,
this was the same year. And I'm going to go off
the Madman's Return, and I'm going to go with
Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer. This brings that European,
almost Eurodance vibe to it. This was a massive
hit. It reached number five on the U .S. Billboard
Hot 100, and VH1 ranked it number 36 on their
100 Greatest Dance Songs. Now, Snap, I could
have easily went with The Power, but the more
I thought about coming out of Follow Me, The
power would have given you that stadium anthem
vibe, whereas Rhythm is a Dancer brings you much
more into that club dance vibe. Even though Rhythm
is a Dancer is used in stadiums, it doesn't have
the same impact and isn't as universally connected
to sports as the power is. So I think following
the Follow Me vibe, Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer
is going to bring you there. I think it's a great
pick. Snaps the power is a cool song, but it's
definitely in its own little box like, you know
It's very forceful with the vocals. It's uh kind
of reminds me like that movie King in New York
You know that kind of that kind of part of the
90s right there where people are mixing that
Kind of version of hip -hop R &B a little bit
with club and they kind of did it just the song
is aptly named It's a very powerful straightforward
song rhythm is a dancer on the other hand The
vocals on that are amazing. She's just absolutely
blowing it down. You can tell it's like a powerhouse
voice. And I think that's part of the mystique
of the song. And there's some of my lists that
are just like that, where you have this upbeat
kind of vibe, you know, almost like you said,
the Euro sound. And then somebody just comes
in with a beautiful voice and she's just unloading
on the song. I think that that's a huge hit.
And it's a great, great number two. Huge song
at that time. And another thing I love about
rhythm as a dancer, sonically, if you listen
to that song with a good set of headphones, you
could be by yourself and catch a vibe with it
because it's really telling you a story musically.
With all the instruments, there's such a great
separation. And I know a lot of people like to
downplay club and dance music because of the
quote -unquote laptops aren't instruments argument.
But there's a lot going on musically and sonically.
in this song and I think a lot of the ones I
chose tonight kind of follow that vibe where
there's a lot of music happening it's not just
a single beat doing the four on the floor over
and over again the whole time with not much happening
like that kind of deep trance house music that
I think is kind of stigmatized in the club scene
very much so very much so I think it's got huge
crossover appeal which is what brings songs like
this to light and also In some cases, transitions
down into, like you said, being used in stadiums,
being used for sports. People now use their songs
on commercials and stuff that you would not have
seen in the 90s. They would never have a house
song out of a TV commercial in the 90s. quote
-unquote traditional song to do that. All right,
well, what are you following up Rhythm is a Dancer
with? Okay, well, if we're going to do songs
with female vocalists who create a vibe, I'm
going to jump back to one of my favorite female
vocalists from the 90s who creates a vibe. We're
going to go with Miss Crystal Waters, 100 % Pure
Love. Song came out in 94, it went gold, and
actually the production team hated the first
verse. So the hook came to them and it was called
the beat goes boom was what it was based around
basically. And they told her, we don't like anything
about that. We like the song and the verses,
but we don't like the hook. It just doesn't vibe.
So she went back and thought about why she was
making the record. And at the time she said it
was almost like an answer to the gangster rap
move. There was a lot of. animosity and angst
in 90s music, whether it was rock, hip hop, no
matter what it was. And she wanted to unharsh
the vibe, I guess is the best way to put it,
and send out a little bit of positivity into
the world. So she started thinking about what
she was writing the song for, the reasons why,
and that's where she stumbled into, from the
back to the middle and around again, I'm going
to be here till the end. 100 % pure love. Massive,
massive hit here. This one, hit number 11. on
the Billboard US Hot 100, and obviously topped
the dance club charts. This was a massive song,
a massive video, and had so much of a crossover
effect. You would hear it on, at least in New
York at the time, WKTU was kind of the club and
dance station. But you also heard that on Z100,
which was your top 40 station, as well as 95
.5, which was a little bit more of your... I
don't want to say adult contemporary, but it
was a mix of modern. It was your parent's radio
station. Yeah, it was my, it was our parent's
radio station back in the 90s. And it made waves
on all three stations at the same time. That's
how you know you've got something that's got
a crossover appeal. There's songs that just do
that where almost for the most part, unless obviously
if a radio station is dedicated strictly to a
sound, like I'm a country station, you know,
you're not going to play that on a country. But
there's songs that just. Hey, this is too good.
We can't not play this soul, you know, because
people are listening to whoever is playing this
soul. And this is one of them. Well, definitely.
I know exactly where I'm going right out of crystal
waters. We're going to keep that female vibe
going. And I'm going to, for the second time
tonight, stick with 1992. Apparently 1992 was
the year that we were going to want to say it
was Bam Bams and Lynn Hurst. The Music Factory,
baby. Music Factory as well. These were songs
that were playing all the time. And this one,
I vividly remember being played in the same evening
as 100 % Pure Love. And it's kind of along the
same vibe. It's the title track from her 1992
album, CeCe Penniston's Finally. Reached number
five on the Billboard US Hot 100. And just like
100 % Pure Love, topped the US dance club songs.
and dance single sales charts. This one was everywhere
for such a long part of that year. VH1 ranked
it number 29 of their 100 greatest dance songs,
and Billboard included it, this is interesting,
on their best pop songs of all time, completely
bypassing the club and dance scene and lumping
it in with just pure pop music, which I think
is an interesting... take on this one her voice
is ridiculous the high notes she hits in this
chorus are insane there's a gravel to it but
it's still smooth to fit on the dance track but
she almost has this dare i use whitney -esque
appearance to her voice where she's hitting runs
in the chorus that remind me of whitney houston
with a little bit more of that club techno beat
underneath so I think 100 % pure love and finally
back to back is kind of a home run here. I think
so too. To me, it's an injustice that's ranked
that low even on some of those lists. I think
that a lot of the lists are done based off commercial
success as opposed to the quality of the song.
I would much prefer, you know, not to be a homer,
but a list from people like us or a podcast,
like some of the ones that we're both friends
with that do music from people that actually,
are doing it because of the quality of the song
as opposed to how well it did commercially or
how recognizable it is, so to speak. I think
that it's a phenomenal song. And I think it's
a great lane for wonderful singers like her because
when you do more of the pop or R &B, people are
going to judge everything. They're going to look
at her and say, does she look like Beyonce? Or
does she look like Whitney? Or whoever it may
be. Do you have any appeal that way? Do you have...
the sound that i want for your r &b song and
how catchy is it but how emotionally whereas
songs like this just come out and knock it down
sing your song and that beat grabs you and she's
just absolutely crushing it the way when you
hear a really good hip -hop beat and then the
guy comes on the minute he starts rhyming you
go yes or you go no right in your head just by
either he's got that or no that that doesn't
match and she just comes out right from the start
of that song and blows you away and all you're
worried about is how that so it's almost like
you listen to it with your eyes closed you feel
it and you're not worried about what the singer
looks like what label they're on what's the name
of the band you're just vibing with that song
and she absolutely takes you on a journey it's
one of my top 590 songs of all time nice nice
well what are you gonna go back to back with
on that one i don't think you've left me a choice
to be honest with you You know, if we're going
to take the gloves off, I have to go with what
I personally believe is the greatest dance track
for the entire decade. Oh, you're going right
here, right at track five. I'm going right here,
right now. We're right about the middle of the
first side. Party's heating up. It's time to
drop this on the party and just have everybody
go nuts. You could save it for the end. I like
to give them a little shot of adrenaline right
in the middle. This song has been remixed 2011
times. Everybody has a version of it that they
want to make because it's just so good. And you
just talked about Whitney -esque with the voice
from CeCe Pedersen. This woman starts this solo
with an undeniable and instantly recognizable
long note. I'm talking about the one and only
Show Me Love by Robin S. There you go. It hit
number five on Billboard in 1993. It was released
in 90 in the UK, came over here about two and
a half years later. Hot dance tracks, it went
to number one. And I believe on that list from
VH1, it was like 65 for best dance songs ever,
which just somebody should be fired over there.
That's all. But other than that, this is a hit.
I play this today when I do clubs or weddings,
and there is not a single person that's not on
the dance floor. Or if they're sitting at their
table, they leave their head back and start singing
along with it and shaking their head because
it's infectious. To me, like I said, it's the
greatest dance song in the 90s, hands down. Rolling
Stone almost agrees with you because they listed
it as number nine on their 200 greatest dance
songs of all time. So, I mean, that's bringing
in your entire 70s disco era into play, which
there's a lot of great music from the funk and
disco of the 70s. Something else you and I have
talked about doing on possibly a future episode,
which I'm looking forward to. Billboard ranked
it 170 on their best pop songs of all time. This
is an absolute anthem, hands down, hard stop.
Musically, again, I want to say that sonic atmosphere
that this song brings. When you listen to this
in your headphones, there is so much separation
between the instruments. That bass line, you
can kind of feel it pulsating in your chest,
but it never overpowers the song and it never
overpowers her vocals. It's almost the perfect
yin and yang with her voice in the upper register
with that bass that really drives it. And I think
I know exactly where I'm going to go out of this.
Because we've got such a vibe going. I know what
I want and I want it now. We're going to Culture
Beat and we're going to go Mr. Vain. This was
another one that was absolutely massive. Reach
number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100. And BuzzFeed
ranks this number 17 in their 101 greatest dance
songs of the 90s. I think that's actually a little
low, in my opinion. Mr. Vain was one of those
songs that had such a crossover appeal. It has
that same type of vibe that we've strung together,
I'll say all the way back from Elias and Follow
Me. It's this pulsating rhythm that goes through
all these songs, but sonically, there's so much
music happening in these tracks. It's almost
a vibe that is... ethereal mixed with something
you're dancing to between the six tracks we have
so far. So following up, show me love. Obviously
you said it's show me love is your favorite dance
song of all time. I'd be curious to see where
Mr. Vain hits for you. Mr. Vain is up there.
It's an instant. Yes. When you hear it, you know,
you know, even if you don't like the song, which
I can't picture because it's a pretty cool dance
song, especially if you grew up around that time
and that was kind of your vibe. But even if you
didn't like the song, you could understand why
whoever played it played it or why somebody's
like, this is the song I would play right now
to dance to or this is the song I want to dance
to right now. It's one of those songs that, you
know, when people think of traditional songs,
it's three verses, chorus in the middle of the
verses, you know, and it's structured the way
that it's structured. You would just logically
imagine If I just heard somebody kind of repeat
the same thing, you know, with a little bit of
a change here and there, it's just going to get
old and boring. It's like, no, songs like this,
they can hit you with a beat that drives as well
as something like theirs does. Hit you with a
great hook, sung well, and then throw in those
little bit of runs that they do with the other.
And, you know, you're not so much concerned lyrically
with it as long as it's kind of like the Kurt
Cobain effect I call it. He used to say melody
drives the soul over lyrics. And it's evident
in his lyrics. Even the way he would write would
be, he would get, I want my voice to sound. And
we go, okay, now what words fit that pattern
of melody? And that was his process. It wasn't,
hey, this is what I want to say. And then how
am I going to say it again? It was actually reversed.
These guys come out and they embody that. Let
me find. The heart and soul of the song, blast
it out, make that the hook. And then, you know,
we'll fill in the gaps later and just kind of
almost like a dressing on the side. We're going
to kind of, you know, help it push what the original
intent of the song was. And Mr. Vane does that
wonderfully. It's a super cool song, man. It's
a lot of fun to play. And it's definitely gets
a reaction every time you pop it up. All right.
So when that's done, what are you coming out
of that with? Ah, give me a tough one here, man.
Tough one. Let me see. Okay. so many that should
make the list, you know, and it's a travesty
to keep some of these off there. But I am going
to go with something that had huge commercial
success, huge crossover success, huge international
success, and had people speaking a language that
they did not even know. My next pick, C &C Music
Factory, Bon Brie Quas Anthem. Oh, okay. The
song came out in 1994. It was a nine -minute
song, which we couldn't know. It always went
too fast just because it was so much fun. You
didn't want it to end. There's actually a 20
-minute version as well. It's a little different,
but it's still a good track. And when this song
came out, you couldn't watch an entire club stop
on a dime. So everybody's sweating. rocking back
and forth the music's going and all of a sudden
and you hear that saxophone go off forget it
the moment that goes off and the guy starts talking
he almost welcomes you to the song officially
you know and it just everybody singing even if
you didn't know how to speak spanish you were
faking it right just to sing along and it it
goes a little bit of latin a little bit of club
you know it feels like upbeat almost like a techno
reggae vibe to it it just it it goes all over
the map and everywhere it goes it does it right
it just it rocks it's a huge party song and i
can't see having a 90s list without it on it
can we just talk about how robert kribbley's
and david cole are probably two of the premier
dance producers of the decade between gonna make
you sweat which Patreon mixtaper Chad LaMassa
chimed in with. You had Here We Go, things that
make you go, hmm. A couple of years later, you
had Do You Want to Get Funky? Then you go into
the Barika Anthem. They got you through the whole
decade, and they always evolved their sound to
be modern at any given time. Throughout the whole
decade, they never got themselves dated in any
way, shape, or form. That's very hard to do in
the club scene because that club vibe was not
the same in 1999 as it was in 1990. It evolved
throughout the whole decade. And these guys evolved
with it. Well, that's a big thing about the music.
It was very progressive very quickly because
it was brand new. The closest thing you had to
it was disco. Right. And then people started
to kind of do their own take on things. And,
you know, you could tell the young music, still
quality music, but you could tell, like, that's
the reason it broke through was because it was
quality. But you can absolutely see the growth.
I mean, you see what's going on now with Calvin
Harris or Steve Aoki, people like that. It's
kind of like, I like to think of it like this.
The way our technology ran from when we were
a kid was amazing because we got in the car as
children. Their parents had, some of them had
eight tracks for their cassette player in their
cars or our grandparents did. And then we had
cassette players. Then all of a sudden we had
CDs. And now I'm walking around with my phone
in my pocket. I can listen to any song on the
planet anytime I want with the push of a button.
And that all happened within 30 years. Quick
little run, you know? So to watch music go from
being disco to... What you see now and these
international DJs and a lot of EDM music, even
things like that, it's evolved so quickly. And
they're a big reason why they push the envelope
with the stuff that they do. They've stayed true
to themselves, but also still have shown growth
and evolution in their music. So, you know, not
to be a one trick pony or whatever it may be.
They weren't pigeonholed by any means. And I
truly believe they can make pretty much any kind
of song they want and make it well. This is actually,
if had you gone with gonna make you sweat, it
would have been real easy to continue that club
vibe. But the bariqua anthem gives me a little
bit of room to bounce off here. And I have a
weird one that I think following it up might
actually work. Let's hear it. Because the first
10 or 15 seconds of this song, I don't know why,
but I actually hear it working because the opening
of this song. Almost has a Spanish vibe for about
the first 10 seconds. And then one of the greatest
bass lines of all time from 1990s world. Click.
We're going to go with delight. Groove is in
the heart. This is probably one of my favorite
dance songs of all time because. It was modern
in 1990, but it was also a throwback to the 1970s.
And there were elements of it that felt forward
-thinking musically. This is a track that features
Parliament Funkadelic's Bootsy Collins and A
Tribe Called Quest's Q -Tip over a 70s disco
funk anthem. Q Magazine ranked this song number
323. of their 1001 best songs ever, VH1 ranked
at number 56 in their 100 greatest songs of the
90s, and BuzzFeed ranked this number 3 in their
100 greatest dance songs of the 90s. It was a
top 10 hit, reached number 4, obviously destroyed
the dance club songs chart. But more than any
of that, Groove Is In The Heart feels modern
now. 34 years later, last year, Blues Traveler,
who Tad Kinchel was on this past October on the
show, they covered this song and they did a killer
job on it. But the original is always going to
hold a special place musically in my heart. And
I think this might have been the only time tonight
that I could put this in and have it actually
make sense because this is not really the club
dance that we've had. And I don't think this
song would have worked out of any song on side
A until now. Delights, groove is in the heart.
Great song. It's an absolute home run from the
moment you hear it. Like you said, it's got so
many different elements. I mean, Q -tip is in
there. It's its own vibe. And it's unlike most
songs. It's completely original. I'm in awe of
how they come up with it. And so many different
people. from so many different walks kind of
collaborating on it, it just, it smashes right
off the bat. And to watch them click musically
like that is what makes it, it's a must play.
It's a must play. And I think it's a fantastic
pick for the soul. So you got one song left for
Side A. What are you going with? All right. If
I'm going to follow up Rubas in the Heart, I'm
going to take it into a little different vibe,
very similar, but to kind of feed off and transition.
I'm going to go with a song that just recently
has a killer remix done. And I'm going to choose
Fatboy Slim's Praise You Like I Should. This
song has two mixes that I think are phenomenal.
The Purple Disco Machine mix is out of this world
good. And I believe Rita Ora just recently did
her own version, which was just very, very cool.
Super current. This song came out in 1999. It
reached number one in the UK and in Iceland.
It was number four in Canada, number six in Ireland,
36 in the States. Also, shout out to my boy Gomez.
It was used in a movie, which is one of my favorite
movies of all time. But Cruel Intentions had
it on the soundtrack. Oh, yeah. It's a very,
very cool song. And Fatboy Slim just does some
really, really cool things with his music. It's
a style that kind of announces itself. He is
instantly recognizable by his souls, which is
what I was alluding to earlier when I said sometimes
DJs or artists in this genre had a harder time
distinguishing themselves to people who were
not in the scene as opposed to going to see two
separate bands and you can easily see the difference
between Guns N' Roses and Metallica when they're
on stage. So my pick. Crazy you like I should.
Fat boy slip. Absolutely love this song. This
was another one that had a ridiculous crossover
appeal. And I think that has to do with the MTV
aspect of it because the video was popular and
it was getting rotated in with all the stuff
that was happening around 99. Kind of the start
of the new metal thing, the Limp Bizkit, the
TRL, that whole movement. They were getting lumped
in with Backstreet Boys and. Lit and all these
other bands that were kind of part of that TRL
scene. Moby. You had a lot of different things
happening there. And this song really crossed
over in a lot of different ways. Kind of the
jam band scene picked it up a little bit. It
got picked up almost in a rock vibe. And then
obviously in clubs and then on pop and top 40
radio. So love the pick. And to close out side
A. I am going to record scratch, do a hard pivot
from Praise You because I am thinking, because
I start off side B, I want to close with something
that is personally special to me and then start
with something on side B that's kind of following
that vibe. What do you got? So my pivot coming
out of Praise You is a song that, breaking the
fourth wall here, Doug and I went to high school
together. And we played on the same high school
football team for St. Mary's in Rutherford. And
this song is very special for me because this
was the song that after every single victory,
we would turn on in the locker room. And to me,
there's no way better to close out the side than
from 1993's Swing Bat a Swing, K7's Come Baby
Come. reached number 18 on the US Billboard Hot
100. It was very important to our area because
we're right in Rutherford, New Jersey, and the
music video for this was filmed right down the
street in Jersey City. BuzzFeed ranked this number
61 on their 100 Greatest Dance Songs of the 90s.
I disagree. I think it should be much higher.
And yeah, there's a little bit of a nostalgic
element to this song for me because of... The
connection we had in the locker room after a
big victory having this on. I just have very
happy memories of this tune. But at the end of
the day, it's still a killer dance song. I know
it brings a little bit of hip hop to it, but
it's not enough to make it a pure hip hop song.
This is a dance jam that is also crossed over
into sports anthems and jock jams and all the
other stuff as well. This is a great pick. It's
one of those songs, like you said, has a crossover
appeal, but. That doesn't change the kind of
song it is, just because somebody finds a different
application for it. It's a song that the girls
love to dance to. It's a song that the guys like
to listen to and dance to, too. So that's kind
of when you know it's a hit, is when everybody
can kind of latch on to it, no matter who you
are. And this is one of those, for sure. It's
a song with a home run. First time you heard
it, you knew it was going to be a hit, and it
was. So I like your pick. Great way to close
the side. Well, that mixtapers concludes side
A of our 90s club and dance anthems playlist,
which consists of Elias' Follow Me, Snap's Rhythm
is a Dancer, Crystal Water's 100 % Pure Love,
CeCe Pennison's Finally, Robin S's Show Me Love,
Culture Beat's Mr. Vain, C &C Music Factory's
Bariqua Anthem, D -Lite's Groove is in the Heart,
Fatboy Slim's Praise You, and K7's Come Baby
Come. Head over to myweeklymixtape .com to hear
all the songs we've discussed in this mix through
the playlist embedded on the episode page. And
now I get the pleasure of kicking off Side B.
And like I said at the end of Side A, Come Baby
Come has this little bit of a harder vibe to
it. I don't want to say it's necessarily hip
-hop, but it definitely brings that element into
the song. And to start off Side B, I'm going
to use a track that blends hip -hop, swing, and
R &B with a just infectious dance mentality to
the song. Probably one of the biggest songs in
the New Jack Swing movement. This song reached
number three on the Billboard US Hot 100. I'm
actually shocked it wasn't number one. And I
want to use this to start off Side B because
within a second and a half, most people will
recognize the song. And it's just from nine snare
hits and a stinger. And you know exactly what
song you're listening to. Bell Biv DeVoe's Poison
from 1990. Starting off early. Yes, it's not
a club song, but we're doing club and dance.
And this is an absolute dance anthem that gets
everybody on the floor and everybody is singing
along with this at the top of their lungs. I
think it's a great pick. How can you not have
another 90s? I mean, you can literally, by the
way, to squeeze this into almost every 90s playlist
that you have. People who are strictly rock bands
recognize the song. I actually watched a video
just the other day. It's a great video of these
two young kids. sit there and film themselves
listening to music from the 90s that they've
never heard before. And this was a video, ironically,
that I just saw maybe two days ago. And their
face just scrunches up. The moment, you know,
girl, I must warn you. They go, ooh. And then
when he hits the, it's driving me out of my mind
and behind, I just, the soul just goes different
places. They absolutely smash it on every single
part. You cannot sit still during the song. This
song plays today regularly. And I get a huge
reaction every single time. Like you said, they
don't even have to hear the first note from sitting
and they just recognize the intro immediately.
And you see people get up and come back to the
floor, even if they were tired from the last
song. And then I got to go get a drink. You know,
I'll get a drink in three minutes. Hold on. And
they come back out for that one. And it's a great
way to kick off the second half of this album.
I don't think I've ever been to a wedding reception
where this song wasn't played. And I don't think
I've ever seen this song not go over like one
of the biggest songs of the night. Yeah, everybody
loves it. Even people at my wedding when this
song played, aunts and uncles and my grandparents,
everybody had their head moving because... There
was such a soulfulness to the song, the vocal
delivery. People that were into Motown in the
70s could feel that vibe coming off it. People
that grew up when that song hit, like us, were
definitely hitting the nostalgia factor hard.
And then the younger kids respect this because
of the fact that there's longevity to it. I agree.
It's a homegrown song, so I think it's a perfect
pick. And now you're going to have to make me
rethink my order here for a second. Let's see
here. Okay, I know where I'm going. So if I'm
going to follow up Poison, I'm going to pivot
it a little bit from what my list was. My second
half of the album is going to be geared more
towards stuff that you would hear in like New
York City nightclubs or deep house cuts. But
there's a song that is so good and it pivots
so well off Poison, I think, that I cannot drop
this one in there. So if you're going to go with
Poison and start the second part of the album,
I'm going to follow you up. with 1990 smash hit
by technotronic pump up the jam yes pump up the
jam has been known as to be like kind of a fusion
song between hip -hop and deep house it's got
a little bit of the elements like you said in
almost the way k7 does but at the same time that
beat is just completely on the house vibe and
it's one of those ones where everybody knows
the hook people that Don't know the song well
or don't listen to that kind of music. Know this
song. And Pump Up the Jam is a smash hit that
was, I think it went to the top 30, I want to
say. Well, Pump Up the Jam hit number two on
the Billboard US Hot 100. I bet 100 best dance
songs of all time. Oh, yeah. I think it was like
number 30 or number 40, something like that.
For Slam Magazine, yeah, number 40. Yeah. It's
just a great song. And if I'm going to follow
up Poison, I got to keep them on the dance floor.
That's where I'm going. Pump up the jam, Technotronic.
And this is one that was a slow burn for popularity.
It was actually released in 1989, in August.
Did not hit number two, like I had mentioned,
for the Billboard charts until 1990. It took
six months for this song to catch on. And once
it did, though, that was it. It was over because
then they followed it up with Get Up Before the
Night is Over. And they just took over. And most
people think of this song as a 90s dance anthem.
And it is 100%. But it actually has a little
asterisk on it because it was released technically
at the end of the 80s. And you could include
this track on an 80s. greatest club and dance
anthems as well because it technically was released
then but didn't hit the top of the charts until
the next decade yeah it's one of the songs where
i mean think about one of the earlier ones like
we said finally or show me love when i play show
me love now clobber wedding everybody digs it
doesn't matter if they're young if they're old
if they're in the middle it just carries it sounds
new you know to whoever hears it they just it's
another novel so this is the same way if you
played it with any of these songs it makes sense
and it can but if you played it with a 90s dance
tape it makes sense and if you play it now people
go like oh that's kind of like you know that's
cool i vibe with that and they jump right on
it it's a song that transitions and at a very
specific time like you said to right there at
the cusp of 89 90 it helped i think transition
the vibe into house music a little bit more you
know making it popular I actually think I'm going
to try something here, and I don't know how well
this is going to go over, but believe it or not,
we have a playlist that's kind of doubling as
a dance club anthems slash stadium anthems, because
both Poison and Pump Up the Jam are stadium anthems.
So if I'm going to touch on that a little bit,
but stay with kind of keeping that energy up,
I think we got to drop a little bit of... the
900 number in a sample, and go up to 1996 DJ
Kool, Let Me Clear My Throat, sampling both Kool
and the Gang's Hollywood Swinging, and like I
said, the 45 Kings 900 number, which anyone who
grew up with Yo! MTV raps refers to as the Ed
Lover dance. This song shockingly only reached
number 30 on the Billboard US Hot 100, but because
of the endless use in sports, I know the Buffalo
Sabres use it. as their official goal song, wedding
receptions, and everything else. The version
that most people are fans of was recorded live
in Philadelphia. So I guess for our area, New
Jersey, it almost is like a hometown anthem.
Even though Philly is over the river, we still
really embrace this song to another level around
here. It was all love. So DJ Kool, let me clear
my throat. That's Smash. I play that. Whenever
I DJ to tailgates, because obviously the sports
crossover, I play that during throwback sets,
whether I'm doing a wedding or at a club, something
like that. It's a killer song, killer song. And
like you said, it's actually unique in the way
that the live version is the preferred version.
Yeah. Think about how many live dance tracks
are there with an audience? Like this might be
it. At least I know it's it on my phone. I don't
know about you, but. Yeah. Yeah. And you know
what? It's kind of weird because it transports
you. It makes you feel like you're there. It's
a sing -along, basically. You're literally following
his direction and shouting back at him along
with everybody else that's on the track, you
know, and at your party. So great way to kick
off this second party. I might think it's a good
choice. All right. Well, what are you coming
out of? Poison, pump up the jam, and let me clear
my throat with. I'm going to piggyback the vibe
or at least the theme. We're going to stick with
songs that do that crossover that gets so big.
People use them for stadium songs. People use
them for sports. I remember this in the club.
This was more of a techno kind of hit, but it
had so much appeal, crossover. I remember late
nights in clubs that I was too young to be in.
Maybe there are some of the enhancements floating
around and somebody plays a song like this that
you've never heard before. And the whole crowd
starts chanting and you're like, what is going
on here? I'm talking about current craft 400,
AKA zombie nation. When that song drops, I mean,
you hear it all over soccer stadiums, all over
football stadiums. You hear it everywhere you
go. And when you're in a club with the lights
out in this late night and. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh. Everybody just starts chanting along with
it. It gets louder and louder. The song builds.
The track is a great building track. It's actually
sampled from a Commodore 64 game called Lazy
Jones, which I had no idea. But I cannot and
will not attempt to pronounce the name of the
album that it's on because it's by a German artist.
It's like 36 consonants and one U in the middle.
So I have no idea how to pronounce that. But
I'm going to go with Zombie Nation. Dude, I literally
am smacking myself right now because not a minute
ago I was sitting there saying, let me clear
my throat might be the only live dance song maybe
ever or definitely on my phone. And then you
go and drop another one. I'm like. Ah, shit,
because there's a live remix that was in the
movie Elemental. There's the live remix in that.
And yeah, that's on my phone as well. So I completely
put my foot in my mouth with that. But what a
perfect song to come out of Let Me Clear My Throat
because you feel that live energy in this song
when the crowd is singing along, where it almost
blurs the line of, is that coming from the speakers
or is it coming from the room? And you become
part of the song. When everyone sings along with
it at a stadium, you don't know what part of
that is the actual recording and what part of
that's the atmosphere you're in. So I frigging
love this pick. And I got to give a shout out
to my good college buddy, Frank the Tank Fleming.
Episode 11, the ultimate sports and stadium anthems.
He dropped this one for sure. Barstool Sports,
he's been doing a walking program for the last
six months. He's dropped a ridiculous amount
of weight. Way to go, brother. So happy to see
it. So hopefully he's cranking this when he's
doing it. This song is so frigging killer. And
look, I immediately want to go back and recut
that whole part about let me clear my throat
because I totally botched it. And you found the
perfect song to come out of it. And I don't even
have to hesitate with what I'm coming out of
Zombie Nation with. What do we got? Because Zombie
Nation has a little bit of a rock attitude to
it. And I think if you're going to talk about
90s dance music and bring a little bit of a rock
attitude that really crosses the line into that
stadium anthem club or a rock venue, it doesn't
get any better than 1997's The Fat of the Land
and I'm going with Prodigy's Firestarter. This
keeps things danceable, but it brings the heft
to it. This song reached number 30 on the Billboard
US Hot 100, and Rolling Stone ranked it 110 on
their 200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time. This
one just slays. Papa Roach covered this song
when I saw them last year open for Shinedown,
and they dedicated it to Keith Flint, who was
such a unique talent, and it sucks that he's
no longer with us. And this song is... I have
rocked this song on dance playlists, on workout
mixes, and I've put it on metal mixes because
it just fits that vibe. There's such a crossover
appeal to it that you could dance to it and start
a mosh pit at the same time. And coming out of
Zombie Nation, I feel like that's the energy.
That's where this is going. Cool pick. You know,
it's the other side of the coin from K7. You
have a song that is a dance song, but it has
that hip -hop influence, and you can tell that
it's on there. This, like you said, has more
of a metal influence and can be played in different
playlists, like you said, whether it's a metal
playlist or whether it's an anthems playlist
or whether it's a dance playlist, whatever it
may be. Seeing them able to take their version
of dance and turn it a little bit harder. I guess,
but make it palatable to where people, you know,
want to hear it no matter what the vibe is. I
think it's a great pick and a huge song, huge,
huge song. I remember the guy's funny haircut
stuff from the video. Yeah. Yeah. So what are
you following up with on this kind of club slash
stadium anthem slash dance vibe we got going
here? Okay. So I'm going to go with one that
plays in stadiums, but was not designed to at
all. It is the first track, I believe, on this
entire playlist that does not have any vocals.
Nice. This is a song by a Finnish DJ called Darude
from 1999. The original mix was seven minutes
long. The radio version is like 345. But I'm
going to go with Sandstorm. Now, when this song
would drop in a club. It was new for me because
like I said, I'm used to songs with lyrics. So
how can you just play me an instrumental and
I'm supposed to like it? That logical doesn't
make sense. Never going to work. Why would anybody
do that? And then you're in the club and this
song comes on and it just takes you on a journey
and you're just, you're rocking with it. It builds.
When the drop comes in and it's just going, it's
an entire vibe unto itself. And I can't picture
having a 90s dance song without having Sandstorm
on there. Love the tune. Reach number 83 on the
Billboard US Hot 100. So believe it or not, this
might be one of those instances where people
are sitting there going, this doesn't sound familiar.
When you hear the song, it's one of those, oh,
that. That's the name of that song. Exactly right.
you know, how to contend with back when we were
hitting the clubs is we didn't have Shazam. And
when you're in the limelight or you're in sound
factory, you know how far it is to get over to
the DJ. I'd be like, Hey, Hey, what are you playing
right now? Yup. And if you're listening on the
radio, you have to wait for the DJ to hopefully
talk back up what you just heard. If they even
get. And so you used to have to find out who
it was, and then you used to have to go to the
record store and get it on vinyl. And this is
one of those songs that I absolutely did that
for because it was such a good hit. It is. It's
great. And the instrumental vibe to it, I'm intrigued.
And I think I know what I'm going to come out
of it with. I think we're going to stay instrumental
for a little bit before we take it home. And
I'm going to go with an Italian composer. I dropped
this song in 1996 and the first time I heard
it, I was mesmerized. I talked a little bit about
side A, about the separation and the dynamics
in the music. And to me, this is one of those
songs that just blows my mind from a musical
standpoint because there's so much happening
and it's so big and you can listen to so many
different instruments. You can get lost in this
song like it's a movie happening. without any
vocals. And the album is called Dreamland. The
artist is Robert Miles, and the song is Children.
It was one of the pillars of this vibe that was
called Dreamhouse EDM, which involves these beautiful
piano melodies over that four -on -the -floor
bass drum beat that I talked about on side A.
It reached number one in 12 different countries.
and hit number 21 on the Billboard US Hot 100.
And again, it topped the Dance Club Songs chart.
Just like Sandstorm, there are people that are
going, what the hell song are you talking about?
And when you go to the playlist at myweeklymixtape
.com and you listen to it, you're going to go,
oh, I know both Sandstorm and Children because
those two songs are very memorable instrumentals
that a lot of people just... There's not that
zombie nation moment where you could sit there
and go, oh, and everyone knows what you're talking
about. These are a little bit different. You
actually have to hum out the piano in Children,
which sounds a little bit more ridiculous trying
to do. Yeah, I'm not even going to attempt it,
but it's an amazing song. This is a song that,
you know, obviously you can use it in movies.
It's an emotion invoking in a huge way. You can't
help but. kind of pause when you hear it, you
know, because it comes on and it's just so ethereal.
Like you said, it's out there and it transports
you to this place where all you are is you and
you're surrounded by that sound. And that music
is kind of dictating where you're going on your
little trip. But it's a fantastic song. And again,
it defies the logic of you need to have a vocal
or lyrics or whatever it may be in your song.
to make it a hit, which you clearly didn't stop.
And is it weird for me to say that this song
makes me both want to get up and dance and relaxes
me simultaneously? That's the beauty of it, is
it's so full of emotion and vibe that you can
literally take it any direction you want. The
song can make you sit there and get reflective.
and start to feel emotional, it can also make
you so relaxed because it's just musically beautiful.
And then also, it can be a happy, uplifting kind
of moment at the same time. It all depends. Whatever
you need it to be, it can be. And that's about
beautiful songs. And a great job to be able to
do that because not many songs can. Yeah, it's
a stroke of genius musically. So what are you
going to follow up our one -two punch of instrumentals
with? Are we going to introduce the vocals for
the close here? Okay. I got two left. I'm going
to ease back into the vocals to kind of set up
my final play for the last song. So this next
song came out 1992. But in 1995, it went international.
It's by a Scottish group called Nightcallers.
And this song is another one of those songs.
where somebody's going to have to go, oh, that's
the name of that song? When they hear it, they
probably won't know it, most people at least,
by name. But this is called Push the Feeling
On. It's rooted in jazz and disco. It has a very,
very catchy vibe. And the horns of this, the
sounds, I believe it's saxophone. You're going
to be a big fan of it too. I know that because
I know you like your saxophone songs. They absolutely
crushed this. one of those songs where the minute
you hear the beat and the way they the togas
i i think of you know these as kind of like the
hook for the song even though it's not necessarily
the hook or the chorus as you would think from
like a band but when you hear that's you know
because everybody will go what's that song that
goes yeah that and that that's the part that
sticks with them immediately that's one of these
songs and uh it's a killer track I think it plays
well even today. So push the feeling out by Nyquist
my next day. Once again, this is a hot 100 hit.
It hit number 80, reached number seven on the
Hot Dance Club play charts. So I think this was
much bigger in the club than it might have been
on radio. But once, like you said, once you hear
it, it's, oh my God, how do I, why do I remember
this one? It was all over radio for a hot minute,
but unfortunately didn't have. A ton of staying
power on the radio, but it did in the club. And
I think it's a great pick coming out of children
because if you went and did a ridiculously hard
pivot into something, say, like Quad City DJs
come and ride the train coming out of children,
it would have just felt odd. Like you've got
to ease your way out of children because it was
so emotional. Can't do the Tootsie Roll after
you listen to Choke. Exactly. Those type of that
deep south bass with the kind of the sexualized
lyrics coming out of something so emotional,
it would have been too much of a pivot. So I
love the concept with going with Nightcrawlers
here. And I actually think there's only one song
that I have left in my bank that'll really speak
well because you mentioned the saxophone. This
one is not necessarily in that vibe, but I think
coming out of it. at least from everything else
that I have, because I have a lot of more of
that club feel like LaBouche, Be My Lover. I
could have brought Cher's Believe into the fold
because of the introduction of Auto -Tune. Huge
record. Obviously, you got Aqua's Barbie Girl.
You got Two Unlimited, No Limit. But I think
coming out of Nightcrawlers, the way I want to
go is off of 1999 Synchronized, and we're going
to bring some British funk into this. Let's have
some Jamiroquai and Canned Heat. This reached
number one on the dance club chart, never cracked
the top 100, but to me is one of those songs
that has such a unique, timeless energy to it.
And it's definitely one towards the end of this
mix that people are going to go, oh my God, I
can't believe we're hearing this. And I think
that's the same vibe they get from Push the Feeling
On. I feel like coming out of the instrumental
segment we did, Nightcrawlers, Jamiroquai. I
think there's a vibe going here. Yeah, it's a
great song, great album. He's got his own little
lane that he carved out for himself. And it's
just, like they say, it's a vibe. And he embodies
it fully. He can do it on the lighter jazz side.
He can do it on the dance side. And this was
one of his best songs. I think it was a great,
great choice. Definitely a party goer. Yeah,
definitely a party maker. So I like the pick.
Well, closing out the evening, man, you got no
small challenge here. What are we closing this
up with? It's got to be fireworks, right? It's
got to be a home run. So if it has to be that,
I'm going to go with a song that does it all.
Give me a song that gets you going emotionally.
It'll hit you right in the heart. Give me a song
that's got power vocals. And I think this is
probably the best to ever do it. Power vocal
wise. Give me a song that's new, that breaks
a barrier, that does something that people have
not been doing yet. But give me a song that also
gives you that nostalgic feel at the same time.
There's not many songs that do this. This one
did it perfectly. Monster hit, Return to Form.
And I'm talking about... legendary DJ Jonathan
Peters and his remix, Whitney Houston, My Love
Is Your Love. When that song dropped in 99, people
had not heard it done that way before. My Love
Is Your Love is a slow burn reggae influenced
song. And it's absolutely gorgeous in that version.
I love that slow, sexy vibe by Whitney. They
called it the triumphant return to form, which
he dropped it. It's just got a super, super cool
Bob Marley -esque kind of just heartfelt vibe
to it. Jonathan Peters took this song, put it
in the biggest nightclubs in New York City, put
a dance track behind it, but saved the emotion
of the song at the same time. A lot of songs
that... fall into this format of a remix are
done. I don't want to say, I don't want to criticize
music, but I don't want to say, you know, without
a heart, but it's basically take the lyrics or
the vocals, adjust the beat per minute and put
it behind it at just a fast version, but without
the distortion, you know, so it doesn't sound
like Alvin and the Chipmunks. And that's basically
the song. And this was nothing like that. He
has drops where he just lets the vocals do the
work. You know, little tiny instruments in the
background. Then he brings the beat in hard.
The bass drops. It's the perfect club song. It's
cited by the queen. So I can't think of a better
way to end the album than 1999's My Love Is Your
Love. Bomb drop. Love the pick. Love the song.
Love that we got Whitney. Into this fold, because
I mean, a lot of we we talked about a lot of
great female singers, especially alongside a.
But Whitney's the queen of all of them. I mean,
in the 90s, I know Mariah was the voice of the
90s, but Whitney just took it to another level,
always took it to another level. And I like that
you bring up the fact that there was this moment
in the 90s where it seemed like every song had.
a club or dance remix. I vividly remember seeing
a cassette single of One Headlight by the Wallflowers
done in dance form. I vividly remember the smash
hit that Nikki French had, Totally Clips of the
Heart, where she took Bonnie Tyler's song and
just kind of sped it up. I think hers was a little
better than the example you gave. That was a
good version. That was good. But there were other
songs, like you said, that took a slow song.
Just put it at 128 beats per minute. And then
just sped it up and it felt almost soulless.
This has the soul. It has the energy. You feel
the song still, but it's a completely different
song. You could listen to the two versions back
to back and think you're listening to two different
artists. He did such an amazing job on this remix.
It's an exclamation point at the end of the side.
I love it. And there you have it, folks. Side
