R_EXile Dance Music Chart: January

As we marched into 2010, I’ve decided to add a new category to my blog: Charts. I’ll be posting a dance music chart in the middle of each month (maybe some other kinds of charts every now and then), which  is comprised of my selection of the promos I receive from artists, labels and distributors.

Although it’s somewhat related to my job, I wanna stress that I choose the tracks as a DJ and music fan, instead of a music reviewer; therefore they really reflect my personal taste and the sounds I’m into at the moment.

And of course due to the agreement with the sources of the promos, I will never share the promos with anyone – Please support good music!

Without further ado, here’s the first installment of the R_EXile Dance Music Chart, Enjoy!
