Dance mods, please can this be pinned!

Thought seeing as this trend has really blown up in 2020 and looks set to continue into the future that a new thread should be started to catalogue any samples or cover versions of previous songs turned into dance songs in 2021.

Myself & JOTA will endeavour to keep a playlist on the front page of any such releases that came about in this year.

Posted by: TheSnake 22nd January 2021, 05:32 PM

Quite good. It samples this 80s classic.



Would love there to be a new dance cover or remix of The Riddle by the way, it's a great song.

Friend Within - For You

Posted by: awardinary 23rd January 2021, 12:31 AM

Thank you! I’ve added a couple more to the playlist as you’ll see.

Posted by: TheSnake 23rd January 2021, 12:48 AM

Wow never thought I would hear a dance cover of Elton John's Sacrifice. Unfortunately I don't like that cover that much. I love the synths of the original so I prefer this remix from last year that was in the recommended suggestions after I listened to the Moses remix.



It has got me started on an idea though, someone should try and do mash-ups of 90s ballads with parts of instrumentals from dance songs that were in the chart at the same time. That would be really fun to do but hard to get something that sounded good from it though.

Posted by: TheSnake 23rd January 2021, 01:09 AM

I am surprised there wasn't a looped house remix of 'Died In Your Arms Tonight' making the charts in the mid 00s when remixes of 80s songs were popular.



These three are quite classy covers actually! As lewistgreen would say, Through 2 You SLAPS! I was hoping the dance cover of Marillion's Kayleigh was going to be good and it started off well but when the vocal came in it became disappointing imo the cover of MJ's Billie Jean is quite good though.

Posted by: awardinary 23rd January 2021, 08:46 AM

Another couple I added to the playlist last night from yesterday’s releases;

Posted by: Santa Snake 23rd January 2021, 10:48 PM

That Wicked Game cover is not as good imo as the Parra for Cuva cover that was a hit several years ago.

That Infinity cover is a bit better, interesting enough but still not that great.

It’s a bit basic tbh. The original is such a bop so I got excited when I saw it got reworked but disappointed that this is the end result.

Posted by: sn👠ke 4th September 2021, 08:54 PM

(Didn't know where I've to put this)

Frenchcore remix by Sefa and Outsiders of Parla & Pardoux's Liberté, which was a sample of Michel Sardou's 1982 French hit Les lacs du Connemara! (Quite unfamiliar with both hits though)

Posted by: awardinary 28th September 2021, 01:59 PM

I’m not sure Avicii would approve of this;

Posted by: lewistgreen 28th September 2021, 05:26 PM

Maybe not but the original vocal wasn't his anyway as it was by another DJ called Samuele Sartini so I guess he wouldn't have a say in it haha
