Deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember (2008)

Ryan Raddon, a.k.a. Kaskade

In 2008, Canadian Producer Joel Zimmermann, a.k.a. Deadmau5 and US American DJ Ryan Raddon, a.k.a. Kaskade, hired singer-songwriter Haley Gibby to record one of my favourite tunes that some would classify as Progressive House.

Joel Zimmermann, a.k.a. Deadmau5

There are two video versions, a 10-minute short film and an edited 4-minute version, produced by Anthony & Christopher Donnelly of Mancunian Gio-Goi fame. The video stars Stephen Graham, Warren Brown, Aston Kelly, Greg Walsh & also ex-Coronation Street actress Emma Edmondson. It was filmed in Manchester, with Stephen talking to Warren and Astn about life and rave culture. The two young men then proceed to find a suitable venue for, what is later revealed to be, an illegal rave with Deadmau5 performing as the DJ.
Stephen was almost arrested after police mistook the video for a genuine illegal rave.

Agnes - Release Me (2008)

Absolutely shocked that when this one has hit us is already 5 - yes F-I-V-E !!!, years ago! Time does fly! Although it didn't hit the commercial shelves until more than a year later, it did simmer underground for a while. Probably waiting to get the Cahill treatment, while finally made it to UK release, while the rest of Europe got treated to a rather wet flanel of the track. Love it! Love it! Love it! Interestingly, the Radio and the Club version had different videos made for Agnes Carlsson's 'Release Me'.

Lyrics:

Release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why am I with you now
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you

Yeah, it's perfectly clear
That it's not what you need
I tell you that I don't care
But I don't want to
Anything that you say
I hear myself agree
And I don't recognize
What I've turned into

I don't know why I want you so
'Cause I don't need the heart break
I don't know what love addictive hold
You have on me I can't shake
No, I'm not in control
So let me go

Release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you

I could sleep by myself
you would burn me alive
Find me somebody else
But I don't want to
Try to leave out the love
That goes against the grain
But I can rationalize it
If I have to

I don't know why I want you so
'Cause I don't need the heart break
I don't know what addictive hold
You have on me I can't shake
No, I'm not in control
So let me go

Release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you

Im not in control, so let me go
Release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you

Release me
Release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to
Convince myself
That I'm better off without you

R.I.O. - Shine On (2008)

Manuel Reuter, a.k.a. Manian (left), and Yann Peifer, a.k.a. Yanou (right), a German DJ & Production duo, came together in 2008 to release Shine On under the project name R.I.O. The name is concept: hands-in-the-air commercial summer dance tracks. And it seems to work. Manuel also chart-successfully works on his other projects Cascada and, mainly in a remix capacity, Spencer & Hill. Vocals for Shine On come courtesy Tony T.

Lyrics

Open up ya eyes and watch the sun rise
One part of me I've been made clear
Love that goes spread all the world
My love, ya, comes out of devotion
To rule, ya, spread to the world
In Jamestown I'm on my mission
Where we praise the day straight our way
All the nation

Let me be the love that comes form the sun
Let me be your rainbow rising up
Every single race out of space
We'll shine on - shine on!

Let me be the love that comes from the sun
I wanna be your love light from above
Shine on, shine on, shine on!

My love, ya, comes out of devotion
To rule, ya, spread to the world
In Jamestown I'm on my mission
Where we praise the day straight our way
All the nation

Let me be the love that comes from the sun
Let me be your rainbow rising up
Every single race out of space
We'll shine on - shine on!

Let me be the love that comes from the sun
I wanna be your love light from above
Shine on, shine on, shine on!

Lyrics:

We can remember swimming in December.
Heading for the city lights in 1975.
We share in each other.
Nearer than farther.
The scent of a lemon drips from your eyes.
We are the people that rule the world.
A force running in every boy and girl.
All rejoicing in the world.
Take me now - We can try.
We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer.
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life.
For each every other
The feeling was stronger.
The shock hit eleven - Got lost in your eyes.

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me. But I know I try.
Are you gonna leave me now.
Can't you be believing now.

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me. But I know I try.
Are you gonna leave me now.
Can't you be believing now.

Can you remember and humanize.
It was still where we'd energized.
Lie in the sand and visualize like it's 75 again.
We are the people that rule the world.
A force running in every boy and girl.
All rejoicing in the world.
Take me now - We can try.
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me. But I know I try.
Are you gonna leave me now.
Can't you be believing now.
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me. But I know I try.
Are you gonna leave me now.
Can't you be believing now.

I know everything about you.
Know everything about me.
Know everything about us.

I know everything about you.
Know everything about me.
Know everything about us.

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me. But I know I try.
Are you gonna leave me now.
Can't you be believing now.
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me. But I know I try.
Are you gonna leave me now.
Can't you be believing now.

Lyrics:
Another night out, another dance floor

Here we go, another night out
Waited all week, just to get out
Where do we come from
Do I know your name
Doesn't really matter
In this life we're all the same

Move for me, I'll move for you

A DJ, a light show
Speakers puttin out
It's where we're going
This way and that way
Getting past the name
Doesn't really matter
In this life we're all the same

Move for me, I'll move for you

Another night out, another dance floor

Lyrics:

When I’m with you
Everything seems better
Now I know
I see it all today
We were ment to be together
I’m in pain when you’re away

Come on and save me
I’m loosing my touch
Day after day
Cause I miss you so much
Come on and save me
I’m loosing my mind
Waiting and waiting
For you to be mine

Come and save me
From me… me…
Come and save me
From me… me…

When I’m with you
Everything seems better
Now I know
I see it all today
We were ment to be together
I’m in pain when you’re away

Come on and save me
I’m loosing my touch
Day after day
Cause I miss you so much
Come on and save me
I’m loosing my mind
Waiting and waiting
For you to be mïne

Come and save me
From me… me…
Come and save me
From me… me…

Lyrics:

Fancy me
Thought I had my degree
In life and how love
Ought to be a run
I had a one step plan to prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Folly and fun
Love had to show me one thing

I was so right (so right)
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was, who was, who was the boss

I'd defy
Anyone who claimed that I
Didn't control
Whatever moved in my soul
I could tempt
Touch delight
Just because you fell for me
Why should I feel uptight
Love had to show me one thing

I was so right (so right)
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was, who was, who was the boss

Love taught me
Taught me
Taught me
Taught me

I was so right (so right)
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was, who was, who was the boss
(Taught me who was, who was the boss)

Elif Turan

I don't know much about Elif Turan; and what there is to get to know is in Turkish. All I know about Elif is that I first heard heard her, stepping of a plane on Ercan airport in Northern Cyprus, the air hot like a hairdryer and while escaping to a hatch, cooling down, while Mehmet negotiated the rate of the car hire: there she was on KRAL, the Turkish equivalent to MTV or VIVA. Bang! ...and an affinity was made.
