DJ Fresh - Louder

Veteran Drum & Bass producer DJ Fresh remarkably hit the charts for the first time last year after more than a decade on the scene with the infectious vocal version of his instrumental "Gold Dust" released through Ministry of Sound. His next single, which I am tipping to be a huge contender for at least a top 10 spot in the UK charts over the next few months is the theme tune to a new Lucozade advert "Louder". The track features the vocals of Kosheen lead singer Sian Evans (check the band out if you haven't heard of theme before; they had UK top 20 hits with "Hide U", "Catch", "Hungry" and "All In My Head") and is a certified dance floor filler with its dubstep beat and its transition into a full throttle drum and bass anthem towards the end. I recommend the remix package as well, with mixes from industry favourites Hervé, Drumsound & Bassline Smith and Flux Pavilion & Doctor P. Enjoy!

Avril Lavigne - Smile

Avril Lavigne first burst onto the scene in October 2002 with the No. 3 classic "Complicated". Since then she has had 4 top 10 albums and 6 top 10 singles. Most recently, she had a top 20 hit with the first single to be taken from her fourth album "Goodbye Lullaby", "What The Hell". The second single to be released from the album is "Smile", produced by long term collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, is a similar affair with its infectious chorus and feel-good lyrics. This is great!! Enjoy!

The Saturdays - Notorious

The Saturdays are back with new single "Notorious" after achieving success last year with the No. 3 hit "Missing You" and hooking up with Flo Rida on the No. 10 hit "Higher". The track is produced by long-term collaborator Steve Mac and is an infectious thumping electro tinged pop track with a euphoric break down in the chorus. It is certainly quite different to their previous offerings, and by the looks of it, their as yet untitled forthcoming fourth album with its production credits ranging from Labrinth to Space Cowboy will be more-or-less following this change in direction. Enjoy!

Jason DeRulo - Don't Wanna Go Home

Jason DeRulo has had a string of top 20 hits over the past 2 years with the Imogen Heap sampling "Whatcha Say" (No. 3, November 2009), the No. 1 hit "In My Head", "Ridin' Solo" (No. 2, May 2010) and "What If" (No. 12, July 2010), all taken from his self-titled debut album. Now he is back with this infectious, yet quite bizarre dance-pop track "Don't Wanna Go Home", the first single from his 2nd album "Future History" - you will see what I mean when you hear the track! DeRulo samples the crowd pleasing 90s dance classic "Show Me Love" more recently a hit in its Steve Angello & Laidback Luke form, and also has a very familiar chorus!! Enjoy!

Lady GaGa - The Edge Of Glory

After becoming perhaps the 21st century's biggest star over the past two years, there seems to be no stopping the pop sensation that is Lady GaGa. Scoring No. 1 hits worldwide with "Just Dance", "Poker Face", "Paparazzi", "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" from the multi-platinum album "The Fame" and its "Fame Monster" spinoff, GaGa returned this year with the huge "Born This Way" from her second album of the same name. After releasing the promo clip for new track "Judas", another controversial video to add her collection, GaGa has started to release promo tracks taken from her new album, out later this month. iTunes have started to release 1 track each week in anticipation of the album's release. The first track to be released is "The Edge Of Glory", a very epic 80's style dance track with a soaring vocal and epic saxophone solo! I have to say I'm enjoying this better than "Born This Way" and "Judas" so far....what do you guys thing? Enjoy!

Cascada - San Francisco

Cascada very much have had a stronghold on the dance pop genre in the UK charts over the past few years with their huge hands in the air hits "Everytime We Touch" (No. 2 in August 2006), the Savage Garden cover "Truly Madly Deeply" (No. 4 December 2006), "Miracle" (No. 8 March 2007), "What Hurts The Most" (No. 10 December 2007) and of course their No. 1 hit "Evacuate The Dancefloor" (July 2009). Now they are back with the very California-Girls-esque electro stomper "San Francisco", with its bendy synths that are reminiscent of Bodyrox's 2006 No. 2 hit "Yeah Yeah" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Xq4q1wCk4) and Summer-tinged video. I predict big things for this track over the next few months; although I suspect it will make its way onto club dancefloors more so in its remixed form courtesy of the Wideboys, Cahill and Frisco! Enjoy!

David Guetta, Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj - Where Them Girls At

David Guetta has had phenomenal success over the past few years, scoring chart topping singles across the globe with "When Love Takes Over" featuring Kelly Rowland, "Sexy Bitch" featuring Akon, "Gettin' Over You" featuring Chris Willis, Fergie & LMFAO and more recently "Who's That Chick" featuring Rihanna. He also scored a No. 1 hit as a featured artist with Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me" and is currently in top 10 charts around the world with his remix of "Sweat" by Snoop Dogg. Now he is back with Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj on his new track "Where Them Girls At" taken from his forthcoming as yet untitled album - expect lots of collaborations!! As for this track - its a pulsating hands in the air anthem very much in the vein of "Sexy Bitch". Needless to say I have already downloaded it from itunes - and if you're a fan of Guetta and his dancefloor friendly tunes I recommend the same! Enjoy!
