Freemasons

In the past few years, the remix/production team of the Freemasons have added their magic touch to dance remixes of Faith Evans' "Mesmerized", Luther Vandross' "Shine", and most notably remixing a number of Beyonce's hits including "Deja Vu" and "Ring the Alarm".  Their mixes are high energy, great for both club dancing and working out at the gym.

Now, they are not on remixing songs for the clubs, but producing for artists' albums, and they've come up with a real winner for Kylie Minogue's latest album, X. Their collaboration on "The One" is arguably the best song on Kylie's comeback album.  Driven by a pulsating electronic beat, "The One" has a great euro '80s touch to it.  I hope it is released as a single.

The Freemasons also produce some of their own songs.  Their latest is a dance cover of Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited" featuring vocals by Bailey Tzuke. Surprisingly, Morissette's brooding song works very well as a dance song, although I do prefer Morissettes's anguished vocals to Tzuke's sweet voice. But, once again, the Freemasons provide an irresistible beat.
