Eurotrash

A few Europop/dance songs to get your groove on.

Bob Sinclair – Love Generation
Bob Sinclair is the suave international playboy alter ego of French DJ/recording artist Chris LeFriant. Love Generation is a Brasillian /African-inspired dance track unlike most of Bob/Chris’ previous releases featuring vocals from Gary Pine of the The Wailers. It’s been played nonstop in Brasil and other European dance clubs over the past 6 months. But few people seem to have heard it in the ol’ USA.

Blå Øjne – Inderst Inde
Most of you won’t understand a word Julie Rugaard or Al Agami sing on this song in Danish, but it’s still a great dance/hip-hop song. Blå Øjne (aka Blue Ice, aka Julie Rugaard). And it’s always fun to hear someone rapping in Danish. But this is primarily a dance track, despite the rap chorus. Julie also released a single internationally under the name Blue Ice in 2005: You Keep Me Hanging On.

Teach-In – Dinge Dong
ABBA anyone? After their Eurovision win in 1974 with Waterloo, many bands copied the ABBA style. The Dutch band Teach-In is one of the more memorable ones with their 1975 Eurovision win for Dinge Dong. Their song was also recently named one of the all-time best songs (along with ABBA’s Waterloo) from the Eurovision Music Contest.
