Take a journey into 20 years of hits through Cream Anthems
Cream marked its 20 years of existence in the dance music scene with the released of Cream Anthems 20th Anniversary compilation. This massive compilation contains 60 tracks spread over three discs.
Disc 1 pays homage to dance and house music scene which includes Calvin Harris’ “I’m Not Alone”, “I Remember” by deadmau5 & Kaskade, and Swedish House Mafia’s “One” mixed with dance remix of non-edm tunes such as “With Every Heartbeat” by Robyn & Kleerup, The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” and Kid Cudi vs. Crookers’ “Day and Night.” There are also some old pumping dance tracks including “Drop the Pressure” by Mylo, Groove Armada’s “Superstylin’” and Red Carpet’s “Alright” in Den Hetrix & Raffa mix, mixed with the current hits such as Knife Party’s “Bonfire” and Nero’s “Promises.” The transition between tracks were smooth and the continuous pounding of the bass as well as the melodic synths and treble will surely keep you dancing throughout the disc.
Disc 2 brings on to a groovier side of the old school dance scene. And this was right from the start with the K-Klass remix of Bobby Brown’s “Two Can Play That Game”, and the Stonebridge Club remix of “Show Me Love” by Robin S. This 80s and 90s disco vibe continues with classic hits such as “You Don’t Know Me” by Armand van Helden and Duane Harden, remix of “Caught in the Middle” by Julia Roberts and “The Bomb!” by Kenny “Dope” presents The Bucketheads. Then comes in some break beats and synths sounds of Fatboy Slim in “Everybody Needs A 303” and Shakedown’s “At Night” before getting back to the disco grooves of Bob Sinclair’s “I Feel For You” and Boris remix of “Sing It Back” by Moloko. The groovy beats coupled with brass and percussion melodies will surely make you feel nostalgic.
Disc 3 brings us to the electronic scene of the 90s filled with house, techno and trance sounds. Kicking things off are the house tracks “Don’t You Want Me” by Felix and “Open Your Mind” by U.S.U.R.A. before techno takes over with the acid beats of Wink’s “Higher State of Consciousness,” Hardfloor’s “Acperence 1” and their remix of “Yeke Yeke” by Mory Kante. The came in trance hits such as Sasha’s “Xpander,” Chicane’s “Offshore” in Disco Citizens remix, System F’s Cry, the Gabriel & Dresden remix of “As the Rush Comes” by Motorcyle, Paul van Dyk’s “For An Angel” in the E-Werk remix and Tiesto’s “Adagio for Strings.” If disc one and two were concentrated on a genre, disc three gives you a doses of the edm genres and the transition between genres were perfect making it a worthwhile.
Cream Anthems 20th Anniversary album takes you to a journey of sounds through various genre of electronic dance music and how its melodies have evolved in the last 20 years. Cream has been in the forefront of dance club and festival scene and this compilation is truly a gem of edm hits. Congratulations to Cream on its 20th Anniversary!
