This week at Energy

  • Overview
    For the third straight week, there hasn't been any new adds. The five adds for the month of February have made some gains in airplay, but hearing some more new ones would be great. The mixshows have featured some good new tracks as usual, but no new adds. The month of February is coming to an end and the month of March is about to start, so let's hope for some new adds.

  • Some add suggestions
    Energy has added a good number of dance tracks this year, and they are slowly making their way up the playlist. There are still some songs that must be added simply because they are good and they could do well on the station. Here are some suggestions.

    Shapeshifters - Back To Basics
    This is the follow-up to the number one smash “Lola’s Theme.” This is a great piece of female vocal house. This doesn’t officially release until March on Positiva (UK). The promos have already been available for some time now, and the buzz surrounding this track has been deafening. A must-add.

    Mariah Carey - It’s Like That
    This is the first single off of La C’s forthcoming album The Emancipation Of Mimi. This one is slowly making its way up on the Billboard Hot 100 in its original mix. Remixes by long-time collaborator David Morales and Peter Rauhofer round out this release. Either of these mixes could bring Mariah some success in the clubs and on dance radio. Another must-add.

    Narcotic Thrust - When The Dawn Breaks
    This is one of few male-fronted vocal tracks that could really do well as the previous hit "I Like It" did just a while ago. This track has gotten a couple plays within the mixshows.

    Intenso Project - Get It On
    This one made its first appearance on the airwaves last Friday during the mix. This is a fun little track, also male-fronted that brings to mind some of Daft Punk's Discovery-era material. This has already made a splash on the other side of the Atlantic, let's see how it'll do here.

    Iio - Runaway
    In it's Ford Radio Mix, this track could do what "Rapture", "At The End", and "Smooth" did during the last couple of years. It's an amazing vocal track.

    Xscape - Wassup
    This is a full-on club track that has a total retro feel to it. It contains samples from "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa and Debbie Deb's "When I Hear Music." This might be this year's "Move Your Body". Look out for this one. It's going to be huge during spring break.

    Erasure - Breathe
    This is an amazing track. Erasure has been on the music scene for many years now. In the LMC remix, this track is just simply great. The vocals, the synths, the beat. Need I say more?
