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.
