Get ready to dance your way to the summer solstice with this list of 30 hot dance tunes that are firing up radio playlists and clubs right now. I’m going to download them all once I post this piece.
I’ve been listening to and watching videos for as many new dance sings as I could locate listed this past week. I must say that the prospects for summer are good. Old-school techno is the dominating force, but there is still some solid R&B/hip hop and rap element and other influences.
Avicii reemploys his folk-to-dance formula, Pharrell Williams has the feel-good song of the year so far, Fitz & the Tantrums and Paramore are bringing a much-needed alternative flavor to the chart, and Pitbull can’t be stopped.
Nothing makes spring cleaning almost fun like fresh hot dance music on the stereo. You can listen to all of these first on Youtube. Look for the VEVO versions, as they are usually the legitimate videos. Then start downloading and dancing.
