Track of the Day: Think About The Way

ICE MC "Think About The Way" (1994)

This song by ICE MC is a classic Eurodance song from the early to mid-90s. At this time, Eurodance music was really taking off in Europe. "Think About The Way" follows the classic Eurodance formula of rap-chorus-rap-chorus-rap-chorus with the well-known high-energy Eurodance sound. The song was written and produced by Robyx and the female vocals were performed by Alexia, who would later go on to a successful solo career in Eurodance music. "Think About The Way" did enjoy success on the European charts as it reached the top 15 in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Track of the Day: Mr. Vain

 CULTURE BEAT "Mr. Vain" (1993) 

It's hard to imagine a wayback 90s party or Euro club that doesn't play "Mr. Vain" by Culture Beat. This Eurodance song has got to be the unofficial Eurodance party anthem. The song is typical of the early Eurodance that came out of Europe in the early 1990s, 1993 to be exact. It was so huge when it came out  that it reached number-one in Australia, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. 

What is Eurodance?

Eurodance music (also known as dance music, Euro or Euro-NRG) is a genre of EDM music (electronic dance music). It originated in the late 1980s in Europe, many say that Germany was the birthplace of Euro. Eurodance combined the elements of Euro disco, hi-NRG and techno music. Typical instruments that are used in Eurodance are keyboards, synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.

Most Eurodance songs have rich melodic vocals (female) and usually, but not always, rapped verses (male). This was combined with melodic hooks, strong bass rhythm and a really good synthesizer. The majority of Eurodance music composed of synthesizer riffs with one or more vocals with a simple chorus. Most of the Euro produced had a male rap vocal but there were songs without rap in it. These elements formed the core of what it known as Eurodance music.

Welcome!

First of all, welcome to the I Luv Eurodance blog! I've been meaning to start this blog for a while now and I think that now is the time for things to get rolling. Eurodance music was extremely popular all over the world in the 1990s. From North America, to Europe and South America and all other parts of the globe, Eurodance music could be heard on local radio stations 24/7 or blaring in your local night club until the early hours of the morning. The Eurodance phenomenon in the 90s was like nothing we had seen before. Eurodance was here to stay.
