Underrated Dance Tracks of The Past 7 Years That Were Good!

W

Wildstyle K

Here are my picks:

Anyway (Hex Hector Mix) - Sherrie Lea
Time - Therese
All this time - Jonathan Peters feat Sylver Logan Sharp
I want you - Paris Avenue
Journey of love (South Beats Mix) - L.I.V.
Somnambulist - BT
The night is young - Alvendia
Wherever you are (Johnny Budz Mix) - Bryan Todd
Love me right - Angel City
It's all Vain - Magnolia
Time will reveal - Jonelle Monae
50 ways to be your lover - Plummet
I like love - Solitaire
Deja Vu - Roc Project
King Brain - I'm done
right stuff - L C Anderson f Psycho Radio
out of touch - Uniting Nations
Curious - 4Strings
waiting for you (remix) - Seal
Hear my name - Armand Van Helden

And I'm sure there are many of you who would wish to add "stand back" by Linus Loves ft Sam Obernik

Other songs I liked personally, but not sure if they should be on the list of good sounds that may have worked too much better if given more mainstream attention:

Raindrops - Stunt
Opa Opa - Despina Vandi
Take me where you are - Fiori
Cry Little Sister (I need you now) - Lost Brothers f G Tom Mac
You wont forget about me - Dannii Minogue vs. Flower Power
Love comes again - Tiesto
Get it on - Intenso Project
Give it up - Kevin Aviance
Call me - Anna Vissi
Inspiration - Ian Van Dahl
As the rush comes - Armin Van Buuren
Turn back - Anthony Gitto

I'm sure I'm probably missing many tunes, so feel free to add in your own, underrated tracks of the past 7 years that you feel deserved more attention and would have gotten more acceptance if given a chance. Don't just pick your fav's, but ones you like that you TRULY BELIEVE also had the right sound for more mainstream radio. Make a separate section for your personal fav's that you personally wanted to make it, but you don't believe would've had the chance in reality. You don't have to lean mostly towards the mid 00's like I did. Feel free to say stuff like "AnnaGrace - you make me feel"

I'll add more later. There are some that I want to post, but just can't think of right now..
 
50 ways to leave your lover and Opa Opa - I don't think fit anywhere. 3/4 of the songs mentioned are on our playlist and are decent to great.
 
Plumb "cut" "In My Ams"
Ercola "every word"
Cascada "Miracle" "Perfect Day"
Kim Leoni "Again" ..could have been a CHR smsh
Arman Van Burren "Burned With Desire" " In and Out of Love"
Fedde Le Grand "The Creeps"
Bennny Benassi "Every Single Day" "Hit My Heart"

As far as "50 Ways", I meant possible suitable for top 40 sound acceptance during its time, not today. I was also talking about the Promo Only Rhythm Club edit, but a shorter version for radio. I'm guessing that if 3/4 of those songs are in the playlist, then this must be 1Club FM..

I wouldn't think "Opa opa", or even "tell me where you are" by Ago would be acceptable outside of dance radio.

Nope Energy 98. #1 baby!
 
Luz Divina - Sorry
Amber - Just Like That
Cascada - Bad Boy
QED - Islands
Bananarama - Move In My Direction
Wide Life - I Don't Want You
Galleon - So I Begin
Charlotte - Feels So Good, Skin
Reina - No Ones Gonna Change You
Siria - I Will Believe It
Roger Sanchez - Lost
Freemasons - Uninvited
Despina Vandi - Gia (I remember KTU used to play it a lot)
Milky - Be My World

I started liking dance in 2003, thanks to KTU. And then I discovered 95.3 Party on a trip to Disney World, and listened to that online. A lot of the songs I liked aren't being played anymore, even on stations that play a lot of golds.
I really got into dance music when iPartyRadio.com launched.
 
"Energy" was in the back of my mind, but last night I heard Fiori and Sherrie Lea, amongst other mid 00's things back to back on 1 Club, so I figured it was 1 Club. As a matter of fact, that is what was responsible for inspiring me to create this entire thread, even though it does kind of have an Energy 92.7 / 101.1 feel to it...

Anyway, well now something just reminded me of this:

Diana Fox - Sail Away (Sharaz Nite Sky Mix)

Man I miss 95.3 Party.. With that said.. I do not ever remember WPYO playing any of the songs you just mentioned.. These songs seem a little too fruity for that station. They focused heavily on Break remixes, trance, and Freestyle.. It was before House Music took over the scene in Florida and Breaks was huge in Central Florida and Trance was huge in South Florida... Boy have times changed. You might have Party Orlando and Party Miami mixed up.

I went to a few clubs in Tampa and Orlando several weeks ago.. 100% House Music... and of course Miami has been on House music for several years now.

I know people don't consider Internet Radio, Radio.. but we have two channels that play every song that you just mentioned.

By the way, I'm not forgetting Cassius - Sound of Violence and Anastacia - Sick & Tired (Nevins Electro Mix) - it's just that I've been to lazy to log in and say it.
 
Internet radio is Radio for the new Wave,, as in todays scene,, not new wave music.. I loved 95.3 Party... mix of Breaks, Trance and dirty south rap,, Man I loved that station soooo much,, the onlt dance fm from the past I liked better was Energy 927&5 Chicago...
 
And boy do I feel old,, giving I was just a kid at the time, my brother exposed me to dance and Rhythmic music around 84,, first dance song I ever heard was Shannon-Let the music Play.. dance was popular on the chr where I used to live in east tennesee,, We even had a dance station from 86-88 called Power 95.3 TNZ,, and also in the late 80s early 90s our local WOKI began to embrace Dance artists like KLF, Black Box, Crystal Waters,, Corina,, I would say this is when I was really old enough to know what dance music was,, and then moving to Indianapolis, we had 2 dance friendly stations,, WZPL now a adult top 40 , and hot 96 now an urban-Rhythmic.
 
Speaking of old dance stations, remember Alan Freed's Beat 97.7 Minneapolis? Groove 103.1 LA? My first dance hits station I got exposed to was C89.5 Seattle when my brother was living there.
 
Lustral - Broken (Way Out West Remix)

Favorite song of all time next to Safri Duo's Rise.
