Bellatrax & Sophie May - I Can't Help Myself (2007)

DJ, songwriter & producer Chris Dececio created the Bellatrax project in the summer of 2006 after being asked to do a credible UK house remix of 'Whatever' by Ferry Corsten. The track was supported by many key DJs around Europe including Judge Jules who supported the track on his BBC Radio 1 show. Chris then decided to take Bellatrax to the next level and produce the first single 'I Can’t Help Myself'. The record became an international hit with support DJs and spent 3 consecutive weeks on No.1 of the US Dance Charts and was signed worldwide by Oxyd Italy, Nervous Records US, Spinnin Benelux, Blanco y Negro Spain and more. It was remixed by Laidback Luke, Sunfreakz and Henry John Morgan - but really, it's only the Jason Rooney Remix that cuts the mustard.

Narcotic Thrust

Ever wondered what a Narcotic Thrust is? Fear not, it's not something spectacularly sinister or sexual, it is, in fact an anagram of Stuart Crichton, one half of the British dance music duo. Stuart and Andy Morris met in 1996 to produce 'Funky Acid Baby', which was petty much ignored.

Their breakthrough came with the track 'Safe From Harm', for which they hired Yvonne John Lewis on the vocals. 'Safe From Harm' is completely meaningful to the people on the dance floor and carries a captivating voice, it's a peak hour track yet not bangin'. Deep, groovy and driving bass line, with vocals and strings, and a trippy overall feeling, this track is almost the definition of 'Progressive House'. The difference between the several mixes is really subtle; the original being the 'flattest' one; the others nicely emphasize the 'housy' aspects. It went on to become my Tune of the Year 2002.

The duo also get heavily involved in remixing. 'Suffer Well' by Depeche Mode is a brilliant example.

Lyrics:

We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better

Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son, oh
Give a look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

Dirty Old Ann - Turn Me On (2006)

Legendary James Wiltshire, one half of the Freemasons, musical technician Vincent Morrisey of the Outsiders and producer Ann Jones, whose cleanliness (of lack thereof ;-) inspired the name of this project, in 2006 took on Kathy Brown's original of 1994 and delivered a track that can already comfortably count itself as a classic on the dance floor. This has been a major tune at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern all those years ago.

Dirty Old Ann - Turn Me On (2006)

Lyrics:

you're on my mind all day
'till i go to bed
whoo baby you're always on my head

Turn the music up

You release me baby

Turn the music up
