0:00 Time for some more new releases here from CD4

Alright guys, time for some more new releases here from CD4. We've got a whole bunch of great tunes this month from the dance releases December 2015. There's a couple on disc number two that are beyond good. They're just like excellent. One of them is one I would class as very commercial, very cheesy, but also really, really clubby. It's been around for a little while. Apparently the story goes that... The producer, or there was someone who made the track and asked to see if they could get it released commercially but the people involved said no. Eventually they gave in and they said yes. I don't know why, but you'll see it is a really, really good tune. The moment you're listening to track 4 from disc number 2, a track entitled One Call Away. Don't forget the dance releases are very commercial, very cheesy, loads of vocals, loads of... I mean, you know, if this was an object, it would be a handbag big time. Track number 4 from disc number 2, this one here's track number 13 from disc number 1, a track entitled Dance With Me.

This is Morlando featuring Colin Griffith, The Thug. Don't forget to check out the lickable clink in the description. It will take you to cdpool.com where you can get more info on this twin CD as well as all of the other new releases and of course all of the other CDs they do have as well. Alright, you get the idea with that one. Right, now this is a message going out to the crew at cdpool.com. Now I have a funny feeling that when you chose this track There was a few of you who said, nah, this needs to be on the underground releases. There was a couple that go, yeah, but it's more clubby. Whoever had the balls and the one at the top was the one who said, no, it's going in the dance. But to be quite honest, it's sort of 50-50. I would put this in the club, the dance, the underground style. It's almost like old school. The way of describing this tune...

If you go back to the 90s and you had some really super duper rave cut then you have got the makings of a modern day old school 90s rave cut. Do you think that's confusing? Well I'm going to get slightly more confusing now because to add to that you've got some breaks with nice vocals, very melodic and chilled out. If you just heard the break, if you walked into a nightclub when the break was playing, you'd think, oh this is a nice tune, very good, very interesting. And all of a sudden you get this slamming bass line and you'd think, my god, what the hell is going on? But in a good way, not a bad way. Track 11, disc number 2, Skrillex and Diplo presents Jack U, What A Cut. It's just amazing, absolutely amazing. Uplifting, pleasurable vibe.

4:28 You know, techno, techno, techno

Oh, old school. You know, techno, techno, techno. Amazing. For disc number one, Sigma featuring Rita Ora, Coming Home. It's the M22 remix, featuring Destiny's Child and Brandy. This is a bit of a tune, The Girl.

Actually, we're going to finish on a high note. This is one hell of a tune. Apparently the story is or some of the story or part of the story or a little bit of the story is the producer or the remix or whoever made this track initially just made it and either Destiny's Child or Brandy or one of them or some of them disagreed to having it released and then eventually they realised it was a hell of a good tune and they said, yeah go for it. It is a really good track. Very commercial, very cheesy but it's got that happy, beautiful Thank you very much.
