It also allows you, the reader, to experience all of what Florida has to offer.

The one place hotter than beaches this summer is our nation’s dance floors. Here’s a selection of the blazing new jams you should be slamming to.
“Taste the Night”
Dalal
A song about sexual tension in the dark, “Taste the Night” was originally written as a ballad. It’s an artful song with powerfully heartfelt and romantic lyrics. However, when combined with Dalal’s exuberant vocals and Tony Moran’s hard thumping beats, the ballad flourishes into a surefire club anthem.

“Can I Love You More”
Tony Moran
(featuring Trey Lorenz)
Tony Moran’s love note to the dance floor is everything clubbers expect it to be: euphoric, lush, hard-pounding and exhilarating. Penned by the Grammy-nominated producer and remixer, the celebratory track features power house vocalist Trey Lorenz and hard-hitting remixes by Ralphi Rosario, Loverushuk and longtime Moran collaborator, Warren Rigg. Tony Moran’s love for dance music shines in this record and will surely inspire others to hear the beauty in the beat.

“See the New Hong Kong”
Josie Cotton
“See the New Hong Kong” is another superior crafted, brilliantly executed, expertly produced and highly intelligent pop track from the artist that first rose to fame in the eighties with “Johnny R U Queer”. Josie Cotton is as absurd, outlandish and as much a vocal dynamo as Cyndi Lauper. Remixes are by Love Rush U.K., CCW and Baggi Begovic.

“All About Sex”
Sariah
“All About Sex” is prime Sariah, packed
with aggressive house beats, playful melodies and a colorful hook. The single recalls the synth ambience of Britney Spear’s Blackout, one of the most influential pop albums of the last five years. Like Spears, Sariah’s lyrics are craftier than they appear, packed with hidden meanings and double entendres. Sariah’s digitally processed moans are particularly alluring; especially when she sings, “I can’t even try to take him in away.” The song will inspire clubbers to swap sweat on the dance floor and isn’t that all we all really want in a song?

“I Miss You”
Maniacalm (featuring La La)
The sonically stirring “I Miss You” is the follow-up to “Never Forget You,” LaLa’s debut track that caught fire in dance clubs and rose to #5 on the Dance Radio Airplay charts. The song is reminiscent of Dido’s “White Flag” but with its own brand of fierceness that will speak to an entirely new generation of dance music fans.

“Mr. Romeo”
Emii (featuring Snoop Dogg)
Emii’s latest track is a fast-thumping party pleaser with playful lyrics that encourage clubbers to look past Mr.

Right for Mr. Right Now. Snoop Dogg lays down a couple of slick rhymes, but it’s Emii’s polished vocals and the song’s melodic verses that are the real showstoppers in this summer treat.

“Fetish”
Faith Michaels
It’s one thing to admit you’re into fetish, it’s another to sing about it; but when you do both, and go so far as to admit it is feet you are into, now that’s pop visionary. Faith Michaels knew if she was going to get the attention she deserves on today’s crowded dance floor, it was time to crank up the scandal, and she doesn’t hold back. “Fetish” is this generation’s “Erotica”. Like Madonna’s ode to kink, Faith Michael’s track is dark, underground, seedy and devilishly delectable. It dares you to submit to it and once you do, you will be begging for more.

“Fade”
Kristine W
Kristine W, the artist Billboard Magazine named as one of the top three dance icons of the first decade, is back with her seventh and final release from the Power of Music album. “Fade” is patented Kristine W, complete with soaring vocals, stomping beats and superior dance production. Just try to stand still while Miss W is tearing through the speakers; you won’t be able to. Maxi single includes productions by Buzz Junkies, Johnny Vicious, Royaal, Alex Acosta, Subgroover and DJ Chico.

Twist of Love
Kimberly Davis (D1 Music)
“Twist of Love,” featuring club remixes by John Rizzo, Twisted Dee and Keith Kemper, is a feverishly catchy dance anthem that is redefining the ‘twist’ track for the twenty-first century. It landed on Billboard’s top ten a few weeks ago and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Enjoy it while you can; great twist tracks only come around once every fifty summers.

“When the Lights Go Down”
Grace
It’s easy to see what drew American Idol’s Randy Jackson to discover Grace.
Her debut dance track unleashes a throbbing bass line and pulsating kick drum that put her in league with Kesha’s “Blow” and Brit’s “Til the World Ends”. It’s a crowd pleasing single, balancing club-ready verses and a soaring pop chorus with steamy lyrics like “Your lips could be my lipstick” and “You’ll see what I can do with a microphone when we’re alone”.
“Trying To Leave Now”
Aiden Leslie
“Trying to Leave Now” proves Leslie is no one-hit wonder. The lyrics to his follow up of “World’s Away” may try to push us away, but the song’s soulful rhythm lures listeners in. It’s complicated, but Leslie proves so are the contents in his head. He pours out another smart, smooth love groove with an extremely catchy chorus that is way above most other summer tracks in its musicality, yet leaves us questioning Leslie’s emotional availability.

“Gave Up on Love”
Kelli
Kelli gives new meaning to the term bitch track in this erotically charged, flavorfully angry unlove dance anthem. The former reality star (Bravo’s “NYC Prep”) sings how she’s not only fed up with love, she is ready to do whatever she has to in order to stamp a dramatic end to it. Kelli’s no-nonsense lyrics are paired with soaring grooves and ferocious beats courtesy of two masters of the remix, Michael Grant and Tony Moran.

“Beautiful”
D Alexander
Following this season’s Glee invasion comes the first male solo artist to boldly go where no male artist has ever (successfully) gone before: Divadom. A few years ago (maybe even months ago), a song like Beautiful would not have been taken seriously. A guy singing “move to the beat, I intend to get naughty”? But this is the age of Darren Criss’ Blake serenading Kurt and dance floors are ready to recognize talent in whatever package it comes in – especially one as attractive as D Alexander.
