do you like your dance songs stripped back to their core elements? do you like the emotion given from just having a female vocal and piano (and occasional strings)?

 

here are some samples:

 

DJ Sammy (feat. Do) - Heaven

 

D.H.T. (feat. Edmee) - Listen To Your Heart)

 

Cascada - Everytime We Touch

 

Jessy - Dancing In The Dark

 

I only found out the slow version of 'Dancing..' existed recently, it's really lush :heart: Out of the other three 'Heaven' is my favourite, the slow version makes me wanna cry it's so beautiful :snif:

'Everytime We Touch' is so beautiful. :wub: I also agree with 'Heaven'. Incredibly stunning.

 

I love Cascada's slow versions of 'Truly Madly Deeply' & 'What Hurts The Most' too! But the former is more a straight cover as opposed to being a candlelight mix. I'll still post it though <3

 

 

All of the above are pretty much my favourites, mainly Heaven and Listen To Your Heart where I listen to the Candlelight mixes as much as the dance versions.

 

The other one I love is the Candlelight version of Angel City's Sunrise, also by Yanou I believe.

 

The stripped back version of Don't You Worry Child is pretty spectacular too.

Oh great call on Avicii, so gorgeous, Noonie Bao is a real star.

I think there's a Candlelight mix of September – Cry For You as well.

You would be correct!

 

Yeah Dancing In The Dark really is a true masterpiece (in either form), still to this day amazed it made the top 10 in a relative nadir of successful dance music!

Heaven is probably my favorite, I remember hearing it a lot on the radio since it was used as a tribute to 9-11.

 

I Could Be The One sounds very nice, I didn't even know until the past week that Noonie Bao is the vocalist. :o I'm liking the mix for Cry For You too!

 

I love a lot of Robyn's acoustic recordings, I'll go for With Every Heartbeat since the original is more dance but I also recommend

,

and

!

 

I dont think I like any.

 

Now if we're talking about ambient or chillout mixes, that's a whole nother talk
