Release 18 SEP 2009 on BigCityBeats Recordings

*

Based on a catchy melody the King Of Pop evoked lyrical deepness and emotionality with simple but memorable lyrics while broach global socially critical issues in a very sensitive way. While “Earth Song“ wasn’t released in the US as single at all, the track became Michaels very first #1 hit in the German single charts and is still his best selling release in the UK!

*

Oliver Goedicke, better known as D.O.N.S., is a veteran of the German house scene. His first single “Drop the Gun“ was the very first release on famous Kontor Records in the mid 90s and managed at once to enter German single charts. This first strike was succeeded by a row of follow up hits like “Pump Up The Jam”, “Big Fun”, “Nighttrain” or “You Used To Hold Me” and remixes for Bob Sinclar, Dirty South, Roger Sanchez, Erick Morillo… With the release of “Earth Song” D.O.N.S. becomes part of the BigCityBeats family, which will be complemented this autumn by DJ Sammy who immediately contributed an igniting remix to Olivers single.

SaSaZu is one of Europe’s trendiest clubs and who should be able to work with clubbers and their emotions better than a DJ born under the sun and raised around the clubbing scene of Spain’s Ibiza and Mallorca? The Phantom’s sense for a great show will be gratified by one of Spain’s best house music DJs and producers, DJ SAMMY, and Decadance is proud to be the first production to bring the icon of the Balearic sound to the Czech Republic and to let him unleash his enormous energy upon Czech clubbers.
