Episode 146: Global Dance - UP! March 2022 Mardi Gras Anthems 17

It's that time of the year again, March which means that the Mardi Gras festival and party is in full swing and that means another edition of Mardi Gras party anthems. Songs that set the dance floor on fire but with  updated remixes. This 17th edition covers artists from the 80's through to the 2010's. Before I get into it, I have to give a very special thank you to Mark from Dirty Disco and Robert aka Division 4 who have once again been so generous in giving me advance access to some of their unreleased and private remixes. It means so much to me and allows these historic anthems to feature with their distinctive remix magic on every track. Having said that, the set kicks off with Wayne G's truly stunning & funky mix of Lady Gaga's "Stupid Love". For me, his is the definitive remix. Dirty Disco feature 3 outstanding remixes here for Aretha Franklin, Taylor Swift and Bonnie Pointer. The remix of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" gives me chills and makes me love Taylor Swift even more. Division 4 also features 3 stellar remixes for Madonna, Mariah Carey and The Spice Girls. I put the Minogue sisters back to back with 2 of their early, classic hits "All I Wanna Do" and "Shocked" respectively. "Shocked" is my all time favourite Kylie song and Argonaut's remix is sublime. Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson all feature on this more modern spin of Mardi Gras anthems. EnjoyAnthony1/ "STUPID LOVE" (Wayne G.
