0:01 Here that we're listening to

Alright folks, another preview video. This time we're looking at the DMC Dance Mixes Volume 1. We've got a whole selection here of Upfront's dance tracks. First one here that we're listening to is Beyonce, the track entitled Diva. Also we've got the likes of The Saturdays, Lily Allen, Kelly Clarkson, Little Boots, Katrina, Pixie Lock, which is a lovely tune. Also we've got Bad Boy Bill, which I'll play as well. Alright, this one's Beyonce. What I'm going to do... Click it through to Pixie Rock. I absolutely love this track. It absolutely, absolutely. Swing this forward a bit. Now also what we've got here is the BPM as well. So you know, near enough exactly the beats per minute, how many beats there are in each minute in each track. Right, that'll give you a general idea. I'm going to go to track number 11 which is Shaka Khan featuring Mary J. Blige. Another monster. Been around for quite a while but it's still a good tune.

1:57 Try saying that after you've had a few beers

Right, I'm going to now go to track number three. Here we go. Right, now you know that one. I'll tell you what, I'm going to play one more which is track number five, which is Lily Allen. And it's Annie Nightingale and Far Too Loud Baseline remix. Try saying that after you've had a few beers. Far Too Loud Baseline. Right, I'm gonna wait for the bass line. I'm gonna whang this one forward as well. Normally in a track when you get a certain break, wash should come in like boom! That's good, that's good, I like that one.

3:15 Little Boots, new in town

Alright, another one, pretty good. Little Boots, new in town. So we'll finish off with that one which is track number nine. He says, let's have a look. Here we go. This is the Fred Flake remix and I'm pretty sure I'm right, he's one half of Daft Punk. We've got Fred Flake and that Baxter bloke or quote me if I'm right or wrong there but if you haven't heard of Daft Punk and you like the likes of sort of garage house uplifting twisted filter sort of house music, go and check it out. Practice and enjoy. There you go. If I show you this, you'll be able to see what's on it. Have you got any of those tunes? Let us know. Tell us what you think of it. Let's wind this one forward a bit.

The stages are the way through
