Fans Of Best-Selling Dance Franchise Will Flock to GameWorks Arcades Across the Country to Compete in the First Official Nationwide DanceDanceRevolution Tournament
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – September 24 - 2009 – Time to put on those dancing shoes and let the search for the ultimate dancer in the United States begin – DanceDanceRevolution style. Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced the launch of the official 2009 DanceDanceRevolution U.S. Championships. Beginning September 26, the first-ever national DanceDanceRevolution competition will bring together the greatest DanceDanceRevolution players from around the country to compete in seven different regional tournaments all over the United States. All this action will culminate when the top dancers in each region will advance to the National Finals in Las Vegas on December 5th, 2009 where the number one DanceDanceRevolution player will be crowned.
"For years, DanceDanceRevolution has evolved from an arcade game into a pop culture icon. Millions of versions of the game have been sold, fan clubs have been formed, and the people who count themselves as members of the DanceDanceRevolution community continue to grow exponentially each year," said David Daniels, Director of Marketing at Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "With such a large following and so many great players all across the country, the time is right to host an official competition that will appeal to both old and new DanceDanceRevolution enthusiasts as we look to find who is truly the ultimate."
The DanceDanceRevolution U.S. Championships will take place inside local GameWorks arcades in each region. Such a grand scale will put DanceDanceRevolution players up to the ultimate test as they compete against each other on the ever-popular arcade unit – DanceDanceRevolution Super Nova. Up to 160 elite DanceDanceRevolution players will compete in the full day competition. The top performer in each region, based on the highest number of points, will advance to the National Finals and a chance to win a $1000 Best Buy gift card and other prizes – as well as the title of top DanceDanceRevolution player in the country. Additionally, all competitors will receive a $10 coupon to Best Buy when they show up at the event at GameWork locations. For information on how to register to compete, people should go to http://www.konami.com/ddruschamps/ .
The date/location for the DanceDanceRevolution U.S. Championships regionals are as follows (Date of events is subject to change):
September 26 – Dallas, Texas
October 2 – Miami, Florida
October 11 – Columbus, Ohio
October 17 – New York, NY

November 14 – Seattle, Washington
December 5 – Las Vegas, Nevada (National Finals)
Dear DDR Fans!
First we must apologize for the lack of communication recently, as you may have guessed we have been busy. However this is not to say we have not been watching and listening to the comments on the player websites / forums since the initial launch of the new DDR X machines.
We would like to thank you for your interest and your comments about the new DDR X machine. There have been many comments made about various points of the new DDR X machines.
One of the most common points has been about the “Sync Issue”. We are aware of this issue and a “fix” has been developed / finalized and will be fitted to the machines in the market ASAP, it is going to take a little time to get it to all of the locations but we are working to get this done ASAP. Again, please accept our apologies for this issue, it will be fixed very soon.
We have also noticed a lot of complaints and negative comments about Betson Enterprises on the forums. We would like to make you all aware, Konami is solely responsible for the redesign and manufacturing of the cabinet, Betson Enterprises are the exclusive distributor for the product in the US and are doing a tremendous job in the sales and distribution of the Konami product line and also in supporting our products.
On a more positive note we see a lot of you are asking “what are the USB slots for?” We can now confirm (although some of you already know) these are for the Dance Step Editor function we are working on. We cannot reveal the full details at this time, however we will be beta testing they system on Aug 11 before the mass roll out.
WEB Address: http://ddredit.konamionline.com/
Looking to the future we will continue to check the web forums for comments and feedback on the products. We do check most of the major player forums on a regular basis but please feel free to post information and have discussions on the Konami DDR Community; http://www.ddronlinecommunity.com/
Thanks again for your passion and comments
All the best

The DDR Community Website is proud to present our second Inside Scoop Report on DDR Hottest Party 2! Below we have a great amount of new feedback on some of the game's hottest songs from the composers themselves. Names like jun, U1-ASAMi, and TOMOSUKE have dropped in to give you the lowdown on some of their favorite DDR Hottest Party 2 work. Read, enjoy, and don't forget to stop into the Community Forums to discuss this interesting Information.
Suppression and liberation.
Maybe both of them are necessary.
U1-ASAMi
Because we want love,
we put on some music.
Let's dance together.
U1-ASAMi
I wanted to create a song that has the same feel as the songs by the popular band, "Otome House."
The vocalist's airy voice perfectly matches this tune.
If this song is played at full volume at a club, I'm sure everybody will groove to this.
TOMOSUKE
This is a boss song like "SUPER SAMURAI" in Hottest Party.
I was going to make a rave type song like the previous song. But somehow I felt an urge to create a "happy hardcor" tune. Then I ended up making this song!
I don't know why but I sometimes feel the urge to write "happy hardcore" songs.
I picked the title, "SILVER☆DREAM," to give you a sparkling image.
It's a pretty difficult song, but get the sparkling feel and enjoy dancing!
I want to sing this song myself someday...
jun
When I finished creating this song, somehow I wasn't quite happy about my arrangement. So I asked jun to rearrange the song.
NAOKI
I (jun) arranged NAOKI's song and NAOKI arranged my song!
It was our first time to do this arrangement exchange for English songs.
This song was created by NAOKI and rearranged by me (jun).
I was pretty nervous because I did not want to lose the pop feel that I got when I listened to this song for the first time.
But at the same time, I had a lot of fun arranging a song created by NAOKI.
I actually want to remix many other NAOKI's songs.
NAOKI, please let me do it someday!!
jun
NAOKI arranged my (jun's) song and I arranged a NAOKI's song!
It was our first time to do this arrangement exchange for English songs.
This song was created by me (jun) and rearranged by NAOKI.
I gave NAOKI a rough version of this song and a few days later, I was pleasantly surprised by this remix. I have never imagined that the song would sound like this!
NAOKI often remix my songs for TЁЯRA. But this remix was so different from other remixes. I was impressed again with NAOKI's broad range of abilities.
NAOKI sound is truly deep.
jun
I liked this tune created by jun, so I was happy to rearrange this.
NAOKI
Strive together. Learn and teach each other.
U1-ASAMi
This is jun.
I am a navigator to help players enjoy playing Hottest Party 2.☆
I'm a navigator? I'm embarrassed.
When I was asked to be a navigator, I wasn't sure if I should do it. I was like, "is it OK for me to speak in the game?" But since it was a rare opportunity for me, I decided to accept the offer!
I was so happy to be able to experience different tasks including character design which I usually don't have a chance to experience.
Thank you for allowing me to be a navigator!
Come on, everyone!
DDR veterans, DDR beginners,
fathers, mothers, girls, boys, people who don't get enough exercise... and YOU!
Everybody, let's dance!
Let's play Hottest Party 2! ☆
jun
It's like a flower reflected in a mirror.
It's like the moon reflected on the surface of the water.
The place where you dance is…
a sad, transient, isolated visionary castle.
I want you to understand,
"There is no truth there."
jun
Among all the songs I made for Hottest Party 2, this was the first song I completed.
I wanted to create a ballade for the longest time, so I was so happy to be able to make this song!!
I truly enjoyed making this song.
I asked Rita to do vocal for the first time.
When I listened to a Rita's demo, I thought, "I've got to have Rita for this song!"
This is one of my favorite songs! ♥♥♥
jun
Hello, fans of Hottest Party 2! I'm LEA DROP.
"JUST BELIEVE" is a powerful girls' rock song.
Let's dance as aggressively as the strong sound.
LEA DROP
Here is a truly hip, cool track for you.
This is a rap for grown-ups. The beat of the words is amazing, right?
I wanted to pay a tribute to that famous song. Have you noticed?
It's nice to soak in the grown-up ambiance.
I want to create a song like this again. I promise I will!

Community Website - 1 Year Anniversary (Official Discussion Thread)
The DDR Community Website is proud to present an Inside Scoop Report on DDR Hottest Party 2! Below we have a great amount of feedback on some of the game's hottest songs from the composers themselves. Names like Naoki, DJ Yoshitaka, and dj TAKA have dropped in to give you the lowdown on some of their favorite DDR Hottest Party 2 work. Read, enjoy, and don't forget to stop into the Community Forums to discuss this interesting Information.
The concepts of this song are "cheerful," "exhilarating" and "pop."
You are having fun, enjoying a great time and can't stop smiling... These moments make you so happy and we all love them, right?
I wanted to create a song that will be perfect for such moments.
I created this song with positive energy and I will be very happy if you also feel positive when you play with this song.
Music gives power to people. With this song, I wanted to give positive power to all of you.
I can say that this has become the best pop dance tune for me!
NAOKI
I was going to create a more UK R&B like tune. But the base line or phrase that came to my mind was kind of funky and American. So I built on the momentum and created this very American song!
I hadn't been creating a mid tempo tune for a long time, so I had so much fun creating this song.
DJ Yoshitaka
When I was a kid, I thought my father was Superman.
He always stood by me and protected me no matter what happened.
I have become an adult and his back that used to look so big looks kind of small now.
Maybe it's about time for me to become someone's super hero.
I wanted to convey such message with this pop, energetic sound. I hope everyone will like this.
DJ Yoshitaka
I refined a song that I made when I was a teenager and created this song.
This song brings back old memories.
NAOKI
One day this tune suddenly came to my mind.
NAOKI
To me, this is kind of a maniac, minor type song.
I wanted to create a worldwide sound tune.
NAOKI
This is a Euro trance song.
This is a very worldwide sound tune.
NAOKI
To me, this is kind of a maniac, minor type song.
When I was creating this song, somehow I made a lot of songs like this.
NAOKI
This is a very funky song!! It's really fun to listen to this type of song once in a while!
NAOKI
This mid tempo ballade is a piece of work after my heart. It's truly nice to listen to ballades.
NAOKI
This is the best ballade song I have ever made. I think this is one of my masterpieces.
NAOKI
Lately I've been using names of cities for my songs.
Finally, I decided to use the name of my home city, "Osaka"! But actually the song itself sounds pretty dark. This song is not as cheerful as Osaka…
NAOKI
A desert town, Las Vegas. It's all about entertainment.
Las Vegas is one of my favorite cities.
The town itself is very modernized and doesn't look like a desert town. But if you look at the city from a plane or Cessna, it looks like floating in the middle of a desert.
I created this song while imagining getting out of the town and driving a 4WD exhilaratingly in the sunbaked desert. Let's drive east, to the next town.
dj TAKA
"Hajimemashite." Hello, everyone in Japan.
My name is Sulk Cambyses. I lead a leisurely life in Dubai. Oil is so wonderful.
I was very honored to be able to create a song for the great dance game which Japan should be proud of.
I was so excited about creating this song.
People in Dubai are also talking about this dance game.
I played the game, too, and got so excited and hot. It's really hot here, you know?
I wanted to talk more about this song, but to be honest, I am not even quite sure how to pronounce the title of this song.
Well, I pray for everyone's peace...

Thank you for being a loyal DDR fan.
We really value your continued support of our products.
Today, we would like to hear your voice for our next product.
As you may or may not know, we are planning to add a new feature to our next version of DDR Arcade.
This new feature will allow you to create/edit your own step chart data using your PC and allow you to use your own original step chart on the new DDR Arcade machine.
We are currently evaluating whether to allow this data transfer through the use of a USB device or an SD card. This is where all you fans come in. We would like to know whether you would rather be able to use a USB device or an SD card to transfer your step chart data to the next DDR Arcade machine.
Any comments or suggestions from you, would be greatly appreciated.

With the launch of DanceDanceRevolution® X! on the horizon, the DanceDanceRevolution® Community Website is proud to present New Artist Information! Below we have listed a handful of the top notch artists that have music featured in DDR X. We have also included some special information on each of these artists that should get you pumped for the game. We also have a Special Message from the DDR X MC's!
1.) DKC Crew - DKC Crew is a group of composers, producers and artists from around the world. Talent is scouted and picked through Adeline Studios in Oakland, CA. Some of the resident artists are:
Singjay/Songwriter: Binghi Ghost
Producer, Composer and Artist: Asa Taccone M.C. Taj He Spits
Singer/Songwriter: Nadine
Rap Group: The Yay Boyz
Producer, Composer and Artist: Drew Kimo Campbell (DKC)
2.) Akira Ishihara - Coming up through the Japan underground scene, at the age of 18 Akira Ishihara started DJ'ing and producing his own Techno tracks. It wasn`t long before his skills were noticed, and soon after was releasing 12 inches on Techno labels such as "kiddaz.fm", "kazumi", and "SUBmissions".
From 2003-2004, he went on tour in Germany, and performed at venues such as "Electric Ballroom" at SO36 and at the legendary Tresor club. He has since played in countries around the world, including Austria, Hong-Kong, Taiwan and China.
Having released many club-style tracks, he has become known for his heavy use of voice sampling along with a pumpin` beat. His songs have been championed by DJ`s in clubs around the world. Now appearing in DDR X, his hard-pounding skills are sure to get your floor movin'!
3.) Harmony Machine - The minds of mystery and mastery that make up Harmony Machine were born into bleeps, raised on rhythm, and live by Life Law #8: "Thou shalt suck up sounds and play around." Physical headquarters are in San Francisco, the virtual path is h-machine.com.
4.) Jena Rose - Jena Rose is in a league of her own. Born and raised in Sri Lanka by wild elephants, she has a deep and inseparable connection to the sounds and rhythm of nature.
At the ripe age of 12, she was found by a family of touring musicians who brought her back to Paris where she then studied at the conservatory and learned classical violin and cello.
Not content with the confined sounds of the Western world, she dove into world and electronic music where she found her passion. Gaining a degree in sound design and electronic composition, Jena's combo of strings and electronics are one of a kind.
5.) System 7 - Forming in 1989, System 7 began as a collective, also featuring The Orb's Alex Paterson and Youth. Providing the conscious link between the techno and house explosion of the 80's and it's European psychedelic antecedents of the 70's, they have had a strong influence on the birth of psychedelic dance music and it's journey up to the present.
Consistently progressive, System 7's central producers - guitarist Steve Hillage and keyboardist Miquette Giraudy - have now forged a unique and bang up-to-date identity on the dance music genre map, in a space where techno, progressive house and psy-trance meet - with a healthy side-element of unique quality ambient chill - also collaborating with many other dance music luminaries, notably Derrick May, Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier and Richie Hawtin.
Their most recent 12" single "Space Bird" features major remixes from Dubfire and Liquid Soul, and reached the coveted number 1 chart position on dance music's leading download site Beatport in January 2008. Also released in 2008, System 7's successful new album "Phoenix" and video project is inspired by the manga graphic novel series "Phoenix" by Osamu Tezuka - one of the founding fathers of Japanese manga culture.
6.) TAG - Sound creator, step designer, avid DDR player, TAG's talents are many. He specializes in keyed instruments, such as piano and synthesizer. His first encounter with DDR was many year's ago. He was so obsessed with DDR that it inspired him to become a sound creator.
Having many releases on other BEMANI music games, "Saber Wing" is his debut song for the DanceDanceRevolution series. We can't take our eyes (or ears) off this rising BEMANI star!
7.) Bill Hamel - For some divine reason, the stars aligned when Bill Hamel first stumbled upon the mind-blowing sounds of "progressive house" at Orlando's fabled Firestone club in the early 90s. It was America's epicenter of the most widespread youthquake to hit the globe since punk rock - the electronic dance music explosion. Orlando's progressive scene shook up e-music's global wavelength; it's records and DJs reaching clubs from New York to London and beyond. Hamel rapidly became a go-to tunesmith, with the likes of Danny Tenaglia and Dave Seaman choosing his remixes for their top-selling Global Underground mix-CDs. Now, having remixed everyone from Madonna to Paramore to Rihanna to Korn, he has had numerous #1 songs on the Billboard dance charts, including Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River", Seal's "Amazing", and Nellie Furtado's "Do It".
Not confined to remixing, Bill Hamel's original tracks have been released on heavy-hitting global labels like Bedrock, Ministry of Sound and Perfecto. Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, and Sander Kleinenberg are just a few of the DJs who have featured his tracks on their mix CDs. He is currently producing three songs for BT's forthcoming album, and his Orlando-based band, Spacebar, has just released their debut full-length, Our Fight, on iTunes.
From the underground to center stage, Bill Hamel is a dance music standout whose club know-how, studio experience, and tireless work ethic have forged permanent footholds in an extremely competitive arena.
"Bill Hamel has the extraordinary rare gift of balancing the deep and subtle with the melodic. A shining star in a sea of faceless DJs and producers."
- Brian "BT" Transeau
8.) wolli - wolli is a keyboard virtuoso residing in Tokyo, Japan. Beginning his musical journey at the age of 5, his specialties include electronic synthesizer, piano, and the pipe organ. Having a background in classical music and in opera, he performs both as keyboardist and singer. He has performed his original works at such events as the Aichi World Exposition and Okayama International Music Festival. He has often been hand chosen to accompany many international acts as they tour Japan, from string quartets to German choir groups, and his music and arrangements have been showcased throughout Japan and Europe.
With his debut song in Dance Dance Revolution, "Lift You Up", wolli brings his talent to the American audience.
9.) OR-IF-IS - Atmosphere, stratosphere, here, there, and everywhere fuel fanciful flights of mutation and transportation. It began when OR-IF-IS escaped evil captors - a tribe from Mashmello, an invisible moon of Mars - who forced OR-IF-IS to create alien pop schlop in exchange for rotten milk, dry bread, and an unlit air chamber.
10.) Ruffage & Size - Ruffage & Size hail from the frozen north of Canada. Rather than hide away indoors during the long, cold winter they both enjoy the outdoors - Ruffage blazing around the many frozen ponds and lakes on hockey skates, and Size catching big air on the ski slopes. The duo try to capture this sense of adventure in their music, creating excitement and energy to induce a real musical rush.
Having known each other for over 12 years, over half of which they have been producing music, Ruffage & Size have developed a mutual sarcasm towards life which also shines through in their creations. Thanks to teaming up with DJ Silver from Reload they now have a consistent outlet for having their music heard by the world.
11.) Darwin - UK based Darwin was first thrust upon the dance music community via the Gammer remix of "Take A Ride", done with Ant Johnson, and hasn't stopped gaining momentum since. With the massive "Pulse Attack", done in collaboration with Cube::Hard, played by DJ's all across the hardcore spectrum and featured on "Hardcore Heaven 2" the public were first treated to a clear sign that a notable talent was emerging. The underground anthem "Magical Rainbow" showed a fondness for "happy" hardcore, whilst always being counterbalanced with epic and darker material such as "Save Our Souls".
Having already mixed a commercially released album with "WOW What a Rush 10" Darwin also turned in a mix on the critically acclaimed "Hardcore Underground" with "WOW 11" released at the same time.
A "core" RFU Recordingz and Notorious Vinyl artist, with forthcoming releases on Kaotik (sharkeys label), Nu Energy (kevin energy), Thin 'n' Crispy (Robbie long), and many others, Darwin is pushing through into the wider dance mainstream conciousness without in any way compromising his underground sensibilities and range. Now a DDR artist, you will start to hear Darwin in a whole new light.
12.) DDT - DDT, from the UK, has been producing for 17 years. Being a long term retro computer game fan has led him to writing computer game music for the like's of Konami and more. His numerous drum & bass and breakbeat release's in the UK show his underground edge as well.
13.) Tommie Sunshine - Influenced by equal parts of New Wave, Rock&Roll, and House music, American rave legend and Brooklyn, NY resident Tommie Sunshine is raising the bar. Covering ground as artist, remixer, producer, taste-maker, DJ, and songwriter and traveling the globe with his legendary DJ sets it won't be long before there will be, at least a little, Tommie Sunshine in your life.
As an established remixer, Tommie has been requested to retouch work from a diverse list that includes the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Good Charlotte, Scissor Sisters, The Gossip, Fallout Boy, The Killers, Yoko Ono, Junkie XL, Panic! At The Disco, Shiny Toy Guns and Avril Lavigne. In 2006, Tommie released 'Systematic Sessions Vol. 2 - Tommie Sunshine & Marc Romboy' in Germany, followed in 2007 by the Australian gold selling 'One Love Vol. 5: Your Disco Will Eat You' and the American release of 'Tommie Sunshine presents Ultra Rock Remixed' his double CD chock full of his remix and original production work, past and present.
14.) Justin - One half of our MC team, Justin's style and flow help create DDR X's unique atmosphere! Here's what his fellow band-mates have to say about him:
Aquarius - Was found by other future Ozo members playing djembe in Disneyland's Lion King Parade. We realized his many handed styles were just too mucho good for Mickey Mouse. Has the uncanny ability to excel in whatever he does (except skateboarding!)
Did you know:
1. Justin's father was the musical director for
the Sonny and Cher television show.
2. His aunt Anita co-wrote the hit R&B songs,
"You Got Me Going in Circles" and "Keep on
Truckin'"
3. He injured his Achilles tendon trying to ollie
off the stage at Pomona's Glasshouse Club.
First Performance:
6th Grade flute interpretation of "Mary Had a
Little Lamb". Lucky for us he got bored and decided
to beat skins and hit things with sticks.
Career Highlight:
Summer camp in 1984 at Pan-Pacific Park.
Expertly assumed the role of the Kangol Kid in
a re-creation of the body rock classic, "The Real
Roxanne".
15.) Wil-Dog - One half of our MC team, Wil-Dog brings his humor and groove to the DDR dance floor. We think he's the tops, but don't take our word for it. Here's what his fellow band-mates have to say about him:
Pisces - Wanted to be in Ozomatli since the day he was born. Had to play in a number of sub par and just straight corny groups before he realized it.
Did You Know:
1. He played with Macy Gray right up until the
time she became famous. Coincidence? We
think not!
2. He attended Hamilton High School's prestigious
music academy with current and past Ozo
members Asdru Sierra, founding drummer Anton
Morales, and one time John Coltrane prodigy
and uniquely energetic saxophonist Jose
"crunchy" Espinoza.
First Performance:
Occurred at USC's world famous Bovard Theatre
at the ripe age of 10. He performed master
interpretations of numerous ethnic dances from
Africa, the Ukraine, Mexico's traditional hat dance
and los machetes. His specialty: the Hungarian
Boot Dance.
Career Highlight:
Break dancing at LA's Hip Hop mecca Radiotron
to Ice-T's live interpretation of Reckless. Ice was
wearing the requisite MC apparel of the pre-gangster
rap era. Creepers, fitted MC Hammer style balloon
pants with a mustard tint, rayon buttoned shirt, all
the while rockin' a flat top with mullet greased
down with TCB for a little extra flare.
A Special Message from the DDR X MC's
Being the voice of the brand new DanceDance Revolution game has been a dream come true for us.
We remember the very first time we traveled to Tokyo 8 years ago. We set foot in Shibuya and saw tons of kids in the arcade, dancing their hearts out on the DDR video game. We were totally floored and the one thing more memorable than the actual dancing and dedication of the kids was the voice- over in the game. You could hear the game down the street because there were about 10 kids playing at the same time. We thought it was the coolest invention in the world! Where else could you get your cardio workout in, get toned, have fun, listen to some sweet tunes, and have somebody encourage you to dance harder? Every home should come standard with a DanceDanceRevolution video game. Move over Richard Simmons!
Being voice announcers for the game is a lot harder than it looks. We thought we could walk in, do a couple takes and jam right out of there. Wronggg!!! It's like acting without a camera. You have to make each line have it's own unique character and make sure you don't blow out your voice. There are hundreds of lines to say over and over and you must stay well hydrated, focused and energetic. It was a lot of work but it was so much fun and hopefully we will be able to announce for another game someday. Hmmmmmm???
Now that we got the hang of it, maybe we can be like the guy that does the movie trailer voice- overs? He's our idol!
- Wil-Dog and Justin from Ozomatli

DDR Hottest Party 2 Song List Information (Posted on 8/19/08)
1.) All Good Things (Come To An End) - When we decided to re-create Nellie Furtado's epic song, we wanted to keep it's emotional quality intact, while giving it a dance floor pulse. Really, the choice of cover artists was a no-brainer! Having already delivered a chart topping remix of Furtado's "Do It" for the artist herself, we knew that internationally acclaimed Bill Hamel could give us the song we were looking for. As always, Bill delivers and then some. This song captures you with it's vocal performance, and keeps you going with it's cascading rhythms. Lose yourself in this song!
2.) Come Rain Come Shine - Jenn Cuneta delivers a chart topping House music masterpiece, and we bring it to the DDR dance floor! Drawing heavily on music originally from Paul McCartney, it's infectious groove overflows with positivity. When you are in need of a musical pick-me-up, this is the tune to reach for. As an added bonus, enjoy it's original music video while you dance!

7.) Everybody Dance - HOTTEST PARTY2 is all about having fun and feeling good. We really wanted to capture this feeling when we recreated Chic's seminal Disco song. Now, nobody can channel 70's funk into modern dance floor goodness like the legendary Tommie Sunshine, so we knew that we had to have him for this song. You can tell that Tommie, along with long-time collaborator Mark Verbos, really had fun re-creating this song!
8.) Red Alert - Basement Jaxx are one of the most influential groups to ever hit the House music scene. Not satisfied with repeatedly putting out the same house beat, every song is given an unique identity and atmosphere. Also included in HOTTEST PARTY2 is the accompanying music video.

15.) I Want Candy - Originally from The Strangeloves, Bow Wow Wow turned this song into a New-Wave classic in the 80's. We thought it would be irresistible for the DDR dance floor, so we sent it to Pop n' Fresh for an up-to-date make-over. This new version, with a funky electro edge, is absolutely pumpin'!
16.) Bust A Move - When you think of 80's Hip-Hop, "Bust A Move" instantly comes to mind.

Enjoy it's original music video while you get down to the funky flavor!

"This is fun music, bouncy is what I wanted in this track. It has bags of energy. This track is like what I produce as an artist within the UK hardcore scene." - Darwin
24.) SABER WING - This is TAG's debut release on DDR. Its unique and catchy rhythm stays on everyone's mind once they hear it. It's peculiar sound is formed by interweaving 3-beat and 5-beat patterns, and creates an illusion of floating in the air for the listener. You won’t find such a feeling in other songs! Can you follow its roller coaster BPM and tricky rhythm?

You cannot miss this super-unique synth sound that changes rapidly throughout the track. This song revolves intensely and dramatically, and it's no exaggeration to say that it truly is a creation of an artisan.

30.) TimeHollow - This epic song has made the jump to DDR! Both quiet and stormy, it has been painted with pounding guitar riffs, heavy drums and powerful, yet evocative, vocals. Loose yourself in it's mystery!

They have put together a collection of continuous mixes, each with it's own character and flow, but always packed full of excitement and energy!

The DanceDanceRevolution® Community Website is proud to present the official song list for DanceDanceRevolution® Hottest Party 2! Below we have listed both the song title and a short description of each song for your viewing pleasure. This is not the full song list, however, we will be releasing more information on the full song list for DanceDanceRevolution® Hottest Party 2 in the coming days, so keep checking back for more updates!
DanceDanceRevolution® Hottest Party 2 Partial Song List
1.) All Good Things (Come To An End) - When we decided to re-create Nellie Furtado's epic song, we wanted to keep it's emotional quality intact, while giving it a dance floor pulse. Really, the choice of cover artists was a no-brainer! Having already delivered a chart topping remix of Furtado's "Do It" for the artist herself, we knew that internationally acclaimed Bill Hamel could give us the song we were looking for. As always, Bill delivers and then some. This song captures you with it's vocal performance, and keeps you going with it's cascading rhythms. Lose yourself in this song!
2.) Come Rain Come Shine - Jenn Cuneta delivers a chart topping House music masterpiece, and we bring it to the DDR dance floor! Drawing heavily on music originally from Paul McCartney, it's infectious groove overflows with positivity. When you are in need of a musical pick-me-up, this is the tune to reach for. As an added bonus, enjoy it's original music video while you dance!
3.) Feel Together - Originally by Ben MacKlin Feat. Tiger Lily, it reached #5 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart. Mickey Disco has given it a groovy filtered-house beat, along with new uplifting vocals, to make it a perfect match for the DDR dance floor.
4.) My Destiny - This song, by House music diva Kim English, reached #1 on the dance music charts. The DanceDanceRevolution version gives it a fresh, upbeat, and stompy groove. This, along with a wicked bass-line, will have your dance floor rockin'!
5.) Umbrella - Rihanna's world-wide smash hit is recreated as a tech-house pumper. An up-tempo beat, hook-laden synth stabs, and smooth vocals all combine to take this masterpiece to the next level!
6.) Makes Me Wonder - When we heard the funk-laden groove of Maroon 5's global smash-hit, we knew we had to bring it to the DDR dance floor. We've given it a dose of electronica and picked up the beat to make it DDR ready.
7.) Everybody Dance - HOTTEST PARTY2 is all about having fun and feeling good. We really wanted to capture this feeling when we recreated Chic's seminal Disco song. Now, nobody can channel 70's funk into modern dance floor goodness like the legendary Tommie Sunshine, so we knew that we had to have him for this song. You can tell that Tommie, along with long-time collaborator Mark Verbos, really had fun re-creating this song!
8.) Red Alert - Basement Jaxx are one of the most influential groups to ever hit the House music scene. Not satisfied with repeatedly putting out the same house beat, every song is given an unique identity and atmosphere. Also included in HOTTEST PARTY2 is the accompanying music video. This acclaimed video exposes the danger of a world that does not promote a free arena for musical expression.
9.) Tribulations - LCD Soundsystem is on the forefront of popular music, seamlessly intertwining musical genres. From Pop to Dance to Indy, this music cannot be contained by meaningless and overused labels. Uniquely original, "Tribulations" delivers a constant groove that is impossible to resist!
10.) Black Or White - Prince Royal brings us this uber danceable re-creation of Michael Jackson's block-buster hit! Funky grooves, energetic breaks, and smooth vocals combine for a nonstop ride.
11.) Can't Help Falling In Love With You - With versions released by countless artists over the years, from Elvis Presly to UB40, this song has often been seen at the top of the charts. Our version gives it a contemporary dance beat, while keeping a laid-back island groove (a la UB40).
12.) Tootsee Roll - "Tootsie Roll" took the world by storm in 1994 and is one of the era's most defining party anthems.. Every car rolling was pumping this track! We are all about keeping the party going while giving it a fesh gloss of club vibe. The Block Brothers team up with Hollywood J and Bill Hamel to give it an extra "edge"!
13.) Walking On Sunshine - This song, originally released by Katrina And The Waves in 1985, became a cultural phenomenon. It's influence on pop culture can be seen (and heard) everywhere - from TV programs such as Futurama, to movies such as High Fidelity and Look Who's Talking. This exciting DDR version turns the "sunshine" up to 11 to really get your floor movin!
14.) We Got The Beat - What happens when you take one of the 80's most recognizeable anthems and give it a shot of electronica? You get a dance sensation that will have you swingin' 'til the morning light! HOTTEST PARTY2 has got the beat!
15.) I Want Candy - Originally from The Strangeloves, Bow Wow Wow turned this song into a New-Wave classic in the 80's. We thought it would be irresistible for the DDR dance floor, so we sent it to Pop n' Fresh for an up-to-date make-over. This new version, with a funky electro edge, is absolutely pumpin'!
16.) Bust A Move - When you think of 80's Hip-Hop, "Bust A Move" instantly comes to mind. It's wicked bass-line, laid down by none other than Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers sets the groove, while Young MC's slickety-slick rap style effortlessly rolls across the beat. Enjoy it's original music video while you get down to the funky flavor!
17.) Don't You (Forget About Me) - We took this #1 hit from Simple Minds, gave it a strong dance beat and up'd the tempo to create a modern dance sensation. Strong synth stabs and a powerful kick are the foundation, while sweeping pads and rich vocals give this track an emotional edge.
18.) I Ran - Spacebar, Naughty G. And Bill Hamel team up to recreate one of the most memorable New Wave tracks to ever hit the world's dance floors. Now with a slammin' tech-house beat and edgy synths, this new version definitely surpasses all expectations!
19.) Obsession - "Brooklyn Fire takes this Synth-Pop ultra-classic and turns it into a Dance-Pop mega-hit! Keeping the original's smooth, sultry groove, this new creation cranks up the power to get your walls shakin'!"
20.) You're The One That I Want - Electro-50's Funk? Techno-Retro Pop? Who knows and who cares!?!?! This song has got some serious swing mixed in with sugary goodness. Sure to be a DDR favorite!
21.) Scramble - One of the most influential groups in the electronic scene, System 7 has pioneered the Techno/PsyTrance/Progressive soundscape. "Scramble" is taken from the newly released Phoenix album. A unique treat for HOTTEST PARTY2, "Scramble"'s underground, floor-pumpin', vibe balance out an already impressive songlist.
22.) 5 O'Clock - Originally by The Perceptionists, and released on the Definitive Jux label, this song is built around a D.I.Y attitude propelled by a laid-back Hip-Hop groove. With a unique flow and an uplifting vibe, this special DDR re-creation is guaranteed to brighten anyone's day. When you finally get home, worn out from a day of school or work, pump this jam and re-energize - the world is yours!
23.) Call On Me - "Created in the depths of Adeline Studio's musical laboratory, Eric Prydz' dance floor anthem is re-created for a totally fresh feel. With new breaks and unique vocal textures, this DDR version seriously delivers."
24.) Night Runner - This new Electro-House version takes Duran Duran/Justin Timberlake's massive hit in a totally new direction. Not to mention FRAZ lays down some of the smoothest vocals to ever grace a DDR soundtrack. This version is a monster on the dance floor - sure to get any crowd movin'!
25.) D.A.N.C.E. - Hailing from France, Electro duo Justice has become an international sensation, rocking clubs around the world from Tokyo to Sao Paulo. Now, HOTTEST PARTY2 brings them to DDR for the first time! "D.A.N.C.E." is an Electro-House track, with a heavy retro feel. It is sure to get your feet movin'!

Check out these Character Samples:
BassHead
BassHead is one of the oldest players in the game. He has been dancing since all the arrows were the same colors. BassHead always had an interest in dancing, but never really showcased his talent, due to the fact that he was shy. When DDR took off and talent from all over started competing, he could not resist the competition. He decided to put a boom box on his head and go by the alias BassHead to conceal his identity. BassHead instantly became a fan favorite, as he breezed through the competition. To this day, BassHead continues to dance and teach all of the rookies a thing or two about DDR. He may be old school, but watch out because he can still dance with the best.
Spike
Spike comes from a long time lineage of heroic fire dogs, but he has other dreams in mind. Spike felt that being a fire dog was boring and wanted to do something more interesting and exciting. Spike always loved to dance and had been watching DDR competitors ever since he was born. On his off time from fire dog training, he studies the current DDR greats and practices as much as possible. He wishes to become one of the greatest DDR dancers in the world. Even though his family has strong objections to his decision, he is willing to put it all on the line to have his name next to the greatest DDR competitors ever.
Flars Vultum
Flars Vultum, an alien being from the planet Funkton. Flars is a high school student that loves competition. Flars was an all-star at anything he tried. He grew tired of the fact that no one could challenge in anything he did, so he decided to find other avenues of competition. Once he learned of DDR and the many competitors, his interest was automatically sparked. Flars trained and practiced to become the best in the universe. On his home planet, Flars owned anyone who challenged him to a DDR competition. Now he travels the universe searching for someone that can give him a good challenge.
