“Matadora (Medina Remix)” by Sofi Tukker
With bewitching Portuguese vocals, Sofi Tukker’s hit is perfectly remixed by Medina with soft electro swings. This slow song is a perfect way to start off the night.
“Kind of Love” by Mister Gavin
Mister Gavin excels at strong drops, especially in “Kind of Love.” This will surely cause you to get up onto the dance floor, even if it’s your living room. The tambourine and all the mixed electronic notes provide funky grooves that will put you in the best mood.
“Temptations (FKJ Remix)” by Cloud Nine
Funky and groovy are the best words to define one of French Kiwi Juice’s best remixes. If you’re not burning calories yet, this quintet will give you the boost to move.
“I Want You Back (Shaparder & LRX Remix)” by The Jackson 5
The Jackson 5 did kill it with their original, but this remix sends the song straight through the roof. By now, you should be out of breath, if you’ve been following my instructions to dance your heart out.

These easy lyrics and bass line are the perfect combination to prompt a sing-along session. Tuxedo manages to combine pop and funk into a perfectly groovy song.
