Pride month is here, which means lots of celebrating, lots of and definitely lots of dancing. This is the third Pride mix I've put together in the past few years, and it's interesting to me that they've all got a dinstinctly different feel to them. The first Pride mix (2009) was just a lot of fun, with a lot of cheesy throwbacks and big gay anthems. Last year was definitely a bit more progressive, with lots of big piano tunes and a touch of electro. This year is fairly heavy on the pop side of things. I'll be honest and admit I had a hard time finding a group of songs that really aligned with the Pride theme, and ended up reverting to some of the larger pop hits from earlier this year (Firework, Till the World Ends, etc). In the end, though, I think that resulted in a solidly danceable mix with a good combination of new tracks and more recognizable tunes that people will want to dance to. A big part of Pride is bridging our differences and bringing people together. What better way to do that than through music everyone can appreciate?
Happy Pride!
