Normally, we write about singles for the Listening Booth and Song of the Day. Then came, "End of Time" by Beyonce, which brought about such major conflict between Ben and Ron that they had to face off - reviewing each remix separately.

Everyone knows about the Dirty Dutch movement spearheaded by the superstar DJ Chuckie, but have you heard about the Dirty House scene. Coming from the pirate underground, Vato Gonzalez mashes elements of hip-hop, dancehall, baile funk, and house to create an energetic, prime time pumping sound. His debut single "Badman Riddim" was massive making top 10 on the UK pop chart. We caught up with the spirited DJ/Producer during Amsterdam Dance Event and got to the root of the new dirty house sound.

I am not going to lie, the first time I heard "It Just Won't Do" by Tim Deluxe, I fell in love with Sam Obernik. Her voice was so quirky and unique that I just knew that she was going to be big in clubland for a long time. She's put out several incredible records with everyone from Linus Loves and Alex Gaudino to Paul Harris and Richard Dinsdale. We met up during Amsterdam Dance Event and had the most pleasant chat about her classic and upcoming releases.

Darude took Winter Music Conference 2011 by storm with his performance with Randy Boyer at the enMass label event. This is not a surprise considering that he is the man behind "Sandstorm," arguably one of the biggest instrumental dance tracks of all time. With new music and projects on the way, we spoke with him during Amsterdam Dance Event about everything going on his musical life. t
