Top Dance Songs of 2015 pt. 5 - a podcast by Keith a.k.a. K j A M

We've finally made it to the 5th and final volume of the 2015 Year in Dance.  It's been crazy around here lately, so I haven't had much time to write-up my thoughts about the year that was but suffice to say it gets a mixed review in my book.



If 2014 was the transitional year as new forms of house began to bubble up from the underground and took hold of popular music, then 2015 was the year artists and producers rested on their laurels and frankly settled for sameness as opposed to innovating their sound.



That's not to say there weren't any epic gems from the year and certainly the most original of them was released late last year (Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars "Uptown Funk"), which sounded like the Prince protegé's The Time riffing off of James Brown, which had the kind of staying power no one would have EVER predicted.  It does go to show that, artists don't have to rely on the house flavor of the moment to be relevant but should be willing to gamble on something they believe in.  When it works, the massive payoff cannot be underestimated.



This final set leans heavily on the best of the house-side of dance from the year, with bits and pieces of everything else.  If you feel some of your favorites might be missing from these five sets, never fear as they may very well make an appearance on the upcoming New Year's Dance Party mix Blow Your Own Horn.  I started this one-off year-end party mix a couple of years ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.  In fact, last year's release is currently sitting at the top of the Party Favorz charts as I write this.



Song selection has already been pulled together for the mix and I'll be starting on it shortly with a possible release date sometime mid-week; certainly, before your New Year's festivities begin.



Until then ...ENJOY!
