Thanks,CHRles,I'm sort of in a 'genre' of my own where dance is concerned,so I understood the initial reluctance;radio was also afraid of Elvis,The Beatles,Disco and Hip Hop at the beginning(wow,that sounds pretty pompous,but the comparison is that their initial presentation was different from everything around them,and scared programmers at first);
I just like to think I'm adding another 'color' to the pallet of dance, and perhaps be able to draw in folks who normally don't pay attention to dance; I know a while back MWC told me that friends of his who normally don't respond to dance were very responsive to the early "Jimi" tracks, "The Anthem" and "For DJs Only"
Another sign that we had a crossover record with "Dance Floor"; the producer,Bobby La Serra,was playing back the finished track and his elderly mom stuck her head in the studio(which she NEVER does) and said she expected to see the little bald guy from 6 Flags dancing around(a reference to a tv commercial that uses "We Like To Party" by the Venga Boys;that's when I knew we had a cross over record that would work in loud smoky clubs and,at the same time, at mainstream radio, if given the chance, it's the one they lean in to 'turn it up, it's not LOUD ENOUGH".
thanks for the words....
