Alyson Interview
With her debut CD "Take a Good Look" spawning four club chart hits, it has been quite an amazing time for Alyson.

Amanda Lepore Interview
Transsexual sex symbol, movie star, and singer – well that could really only describe one person, the fabulous Amanda Lepore. You've definitely seen her – as the cover girl for MAC cosmetics, on Swatch watches, in countless fashion ads, hosting events around the world, and the infamous video for Tiga. Working with producers Fatal Art Syndicate, Cazwell, and Larry Tee, she has compiled a remix EP as a teaser for her upcoming artist album. Warning: the electro is as sexy and spicy as she is.

A striking departure and an incredibly personal album where she explores love, relationships, and spirituality, MKOW has already spawned the hits "Voodoo" and "You Move Me."

Amber
AMBER’s track record of club and pop hits such as “This is Your Night,” “Above the Clouds,” “If You Could Read My Mind” (the hit from the “Studio 54” film soundtrack with Ultra Nate and Jocelyn Enriquez) and “Sexual (Li Da Di)” defined her as a dance diva with a flair for the mainstream.

Annie Interview
"Chewing Gum" was my introduction to Annie - a song so catchy and sweet that it stuck in my head after the first time I saw the video. Her website anniemusic.co.uk, introduced me to "Heartbeat" and jogged my head, reminded me about the Madonna sampling "Greatest Hit," the disco confection I played a few years ago. Listening to her debut CD Anniemal, I hear something different, a brilliant singer/songwriter who loves electronic music and is not afraid the blend the pop and the underground.

Aubrey Interview - Interview with Aubrey
When people think of heritage dance artists, people like Donna Summer, Madonna, and Prince come to mind.

Bananarama Interview
And critics say that dance music doesn't spawn real artists... Twenty-five years into their career as the most successful girl group of all time, Bananarama (the duo of Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin) have released "Drama," a defiantly dance album, featuring the singles "Move in My Direction" and "Look on the Floor."

Barbara Tucker Interview
Barbara Tucker is probably the hardest-working diva in the business. Crafted as part of a benefit for AIDS charity Lifebeat, her record with Blaze, "Most Precious Love," was the definitive record of Winter Music Conference 2005. With a re-release pending on Defected and a hot video, the song continues to be a club anthem. Performing back-to-back every night during the week of the conference, Barbara also organizes "Let the Singer be Heard," to give artists a chance to share their music.

With follow up single "I Believe" and current single "Come Inside My World," as well as new projects with Deborah Cox, Reina and Veronica, Dee has been busy writing some of the best dance music out there!

Lula Interview - Interview with Lula
But no mere discography can express the power that Lula held over late-90s dancefloors. When she broke into that countdown in the middle of "Ecstasy," it didn't matter where it was playing, because everywhere became Chelsea, and when she reached "one" and proclaimed that shirts needed to come off, by God they did. All over the world.

Lyric L Interview
Seiji's broken-beat anthem "Loose Lips" blew me away the first time I heard it. The beat summoned me onto the dancefloor like one of the pied piper's rats, and Lyric L's vocal delivery sealed it as a record that would never leave my bag. Family chatterbox, basketball player, and much respected lyricist, Lyric L has gone on to write and MC with Ty, Mark de Clive Lowe, Nathan Haines and others. She is an indispensable piece of the West London pie.

Michael M Interview
In the video for "Dear Diary," Michael M was portrayed as an animated cartoon character bouncing around nightclubs, clocking celebrities left and right.

Rich Brown Project
My beloved hometown Nashville, Tennessee is known to many as "Music City USA," but it's known to most as "Country Music City USA."

What's really going on in Nashville is a burgeoning hip-hop and soul scene headed up, in part, by CRISIS and Kwesi B of Rich Brown.
