Eurodance Essentials

“Rhythm is a dancer, it’s a soul’s companion,” offered German producer duo Snap! in 1992, summing up the wave of Eurodance euphoria that swept across the continent at the turn of the decade. Along with Sweden’s Ace of Base, Italy’s Black Box and Belgian-Dutch alliance 2 Unlimited, they shook the clubs with sweeping vocal melodies and rap attacks, driving techno synths and Euro-disco sparkle, condensed into one compelling mix for the party people. But its flame never went out, still lighting up the dance floor to this day through nostalgic takes and leftfield remixes. These cuts are gonna make you sweat.
