Wiz is an interesting artist. his freestyles have been legit for a while and his song Say Yeah is finally getting radioplay. Itll be interesting to see how he grows.

What about ATB's "9PM (Till I Come)"

Also.. couldn't help but notice the dancing style in that Vengaboys track is strangely reminiscient of that "tecktonic" dancing style that's busting out everywhere right now. Coinkydink?

I'm now going to have Venagboys stuck in my head for WEEKS thanks to this.

It will be interesting if trance becomes a legitimate influence on current pop music. I do see some of the references to dance music in that kind of stuff, but a lot of the signifiers (and some would say, cliches) from recent pop tracks comes straight from early 90s hard core and early '00s hard house, which kind of picked up that mantle. Specifically, I'm thinking of the prominent "hoover" noise in "SexyBack."

Holy cow, Da Hool. That reminds me of when a friend of mine busted out with the "Denver The Last Dinosaur" theme song ... something from the deep recesses of my mind that I could have easily never thought about for the rest of my life.

I'm kind of disappointed that the version you linked doesn't have those interjections of a German slurring "The loooooooove parade" every once in a while.

On a related note, the following might also work:

Energy 52, "Cafe Del Mar"

Chicane, "Saltwater" (preferably with the Enya-ness left it)

Three Drives, "Sunset on Ibiza"

Solar Stone, "Seven Cities"

And of course, the ultimate, "Fuck it, this is stupid trance" track:

PPK, Resurrection

"had me rolling"

interesting phrasing there given the topic.

if someone were to sample that vengaboys track they'd have to get the great adventure dancing guy for the video. (or at least amy poehler, whose impersonation of him had me rolling during snl last week.)
