Fedde Le Grand Essential Mix + some notable tracks

This week’s EM from Radio One features one of the popular names behind recent big tracks – Dutch DJ/Producer – Fedde Le Grand.

He was an unknown (at least to the rest of the world) ’till about 2, 3 years ago, and with that track, had us put ours hands up to a city that we mostly don’t really care for (…well maybe not since “8 Mile” . Who knew he was able to succeed with another (if not cheesier) commercial track with Ida Corr – “Let me think about it” – though it kinda does have a catchy tune, I gotta admit.

Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised with this EM set, as it featured an electro theme that seemed foreign when compared to his chart-topping singles. As long as you can get over the whole “bleep-bleep” thing (or a bit of calculator music as I call it), it was actually a pretty refreshing electro set. In this case, the second hour is considerably better; but that’s the way it is for these sets, we just gotta be patient and be optimistic that something will eventually happen

Here’s the track listing to the show:
