Favorite Mariah dance remixes

[jenglisbe]

This was done nearly a decade ago, but not recently as far as I can tell. I tried to get most if not all of her songs with dance remixes, but likely missed one or two as this is off the top of my head.

Damn it! Is there a way to edit a poll? I forgot "Joy to the World" and "The Roof." Ugh.

I voted for "Dreamlover," "Fantasy," and "Honey". Honorable mentions to the C+C mix of "Anytime You Need A Friend", Morales Revival Triumphant Mix of "Can't Take That Away" and the Junior Vasquez "Heartbreaker" mix. Not a big fan of many of her post-Rainbow dance mixes.

[jenglisbe]

Her work with Morales is flawless, really, and I could easily pick 3 just from that work (likely Dreamlover, I Still Believe, and Can't Take That Away, but that's today). However she has done solid work with others, too, so I feel like I need to spread the wealth at least a bit. "Anytime You Need A Friend" and "Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely" are genius. The remixes for "Someday" are really solid, too, and of course the dance remix for "Emotions" adds the epic intro. So much to love here, and Mariah as disco diva is a lane of hers I really love.

I think you mean C+C remix of ATYNAF, right @jazzysoul47? ATYNAF remixes are perfection.

I love so many of them and I am an absolute fanatic when it comes to her dance remixes, but nothing has ever topped the gritty, urban, melancholy of the My All Morales "Def" Club Mix for me, though the "Say Somethin'" Morales remix comes very close. Besides those, I've been really into the "Loverboy" remixes lately.

They switch all the time, but the first two always remain my faves.

01. My All
02. Say Somethin'
03. Loverboy
04. CTTA
05. Honey/Heartbreaker

I do think the Seamus Haji & Paul Emmanuel remix of TMB is severely underrated though. I also dig the Danny Verde remix of "Triumphant" and the DFAU remixes. As a whole though, nothing really beats the Butterfly era in terms of her remixes. f**king ace.

Yes! Thank you.

Fantasy and Dreamlover, and Anytime You Need a Friend (of which that Ministry of Sound remix gave me some life, but it's not a dance remix - just wanted to give it remix props!)

[KeepDeanWeird]

1. Say Somethin'
2. My All
3. AYNAF
4. Fantasy (Def Radio)
5. The Roof

Bonus: Bringin' on the Heartbreak (JV), SIO (Morales) that I don't think ever made it in MC30.

For the most part, MC's dance remixes are a hidden gem in her catalogue - it's too bad the masses haven't been exposed to them.

Fantasy
Heartbreaker

I so agree with you, jenglisbe   Their music/work chemistry is amazing. I have even discussed this matter multiple times on the Friends of Mariah Messageboard on TapaTalk. I am praying she works with him soon!!

This one is one of my faves:

Say Something (Morales mix)

I always thought it was weird David titled the instrumental ""My" Instrumental" after the "Morales "My" Club Mix" when it actually incorporates the elements from the ""Def" Club mix". I also wondered why the Morales instrumental was always so hard to find, but that note from the label kind of answers that.

The Kings mix of ISB sounds so tech, I adore it. It truly is a very different sound for her. I also didn't have the same appreciation for it years ago that I do now.

[Dreams]

AYNAF
My All
ISB

[Ginger Spice]

1. I Still Believe (Classic Club Mix)
2. My All (Classic Club Mix)
3. Loverboy (Club of Love)

The classics are all great (Morales mixes of Dreamlover, Honey, Fantasy, Anytime You Need A Friend), but the three listed above are the ones I revisit the most I think!

Being a gay in NYC as things have opened back up, there is simply NOTHING like being at a club and hearing Mariah's remixes out. In the past month, I've heard Fantasy, ABMB, WBT and Heartbreaker/IYSEBL and I lost my shit each and every time. Can't wait to hear her out all Pride weekend!

I give the edge to AYNAF as her greatest (one of her best vocals ever) but it's a shame that the song itself wasn't really popular enough to merit continued play in the clubs. I rank Dreamlover and Heartbreaker just below, both completely brilliant (with a special nod to Dreamlover playing the first time I ever did something bad in a club heheh).

This was pretty hard. She has SO many good ones.
From Emancipation on a little more hit or eh.
I voted for "Anytime You Need A Friend, Fantasy and Heartbreaker".

[jenglisbe]

I don't understand why for The Remixes Sony took measures to secure "Through the Rain" from Def Jam instead of using the superior "Always Be My Baby," "I Still Believe," or "Can't Take That Away."
