Show me the night!!! Yeah, I’ve been loving this song by electro-rock duo Jump Jump Dance Dance! And then come to find out there’s a music video? A well executed music video directed by Claire Carré of Partizan? I need to keep on top of my game; this one almost crept by me.
Also… You’re going to want to grab the Grum remix for this song. Jump Jump Dance Dance - Show Me The Night (Grum Remix)
Jeeze yall’ i’ve never had so much fun putting together a mix before. Searching for tracks was the easy part this time around; narrowing them down to 10? Very difficult… it’s like they were all Fire. I guess it’s just that time of the year again; everyone’s ready to put winter to bed, set fire to the sky, and dance their way through summer’s end. Very well, so be it!

So I’ve been listening to this track for a while now and I’m not sure why I haven’t posted an On Blast! for it yet. It’s standing up to the test of time so I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m considering it come the end of the year for best remix. This is definitely one of the cases where the remix surpasses the original; so kudos to Jack Beats!

That said, It’s time to move on, but first here’s my annual retrospective.
Music:
I don’t care what anyone says, i don’t care what the sales figures show, or what concert attendances indicate; 2008 was a good year for music! 2007 got us dancing again, so it makes sense that 2008 was the year of the DJ. And boy are there a lot of them! I think I know of more active DJs than of actual bands and artists. I mean seriously, for a white it seemed like there were 3-4 remixes for every song that came out. But guess what? I didn’t complain; I loved every second of it!
