You got me, prince into the beat of your heart. True love in a city of lights. Get lost when I look in your eyes. I think couldn't strike us apart, you got me, prince into the beat of your heart. Pleading guilty, I'm not inset. If the crime is your love, let me sin. Praying nobody saves my soul. Uh-huh. Spin me around, take me up, take me down, high and low. Spin me around, lift me up off the ground, don't let go. All night long to make us alright up wherever we are. I think could it strike us apart? You got me, dancing to the beat of your heart. True love in a city of light. I think could it strike us apart? You got me, dancing to the beat of your heart. You got me pessin, I'm dancing to the beat of your heart. You got me passing, I'm dancing to the beat of your heart, you got me dancing, I'm dancing to the beat of your heart, you got me dancing to the beat of your heart.
SPEAKER_00Number twenty-five, bending grid.
SPEAKER_10All fills with fear, can't escape those eyes. Through these darkened streets, they'll fight away. If you can't be the hunter, then you'll be the prey. You'll be riding law for the rest of your life. Try to catch your breath, so no what comes next. Never deal with a monster, leaves nothing left. It's not physical, now you're critical. Can you feel some things that make sure?
SPEAKER_00Number 25 is Bending Red Forever, the beat that follows the Isle 9 remix. Also at 26 was the Triple Disco Machine with beat of your heart. This track has already had over 45 million downloads already on Spotify. The album is called Paradise, and it just released an album today called Paradise, where they take the whole album and mix it all together.

Fighting with Mars in the ardent age. And really ever show his face. He doesn't change, he doesn't show.
unknownThe evening slides from being bored.
SPEAKER_14No gleaming past a future for me. It hasn't changed, it doesn't show Monotony by another name. You read the answers from my face. Some things are better left. Say I haven't changed, it doesn't show.
SPEAKER_12DJ Matt Williams will send out the symphony.
SPEAKER_08I'm out of the time, I'm ready to do any my eyes, I'm out of your mind, and I've been bugged. You see the obsession anyway You're everywhere, no one compares.
unknownSo I'ma replace your heart and soul. But you're a few, so I'm a few.
SPEAKER_11I still feel your touch with all the cold. I know that this isn't what I want. This isn't what I'm used to.
SPEAKER_08But you are I'm out in the door, I'm craving to hurt, I'm craving to hold you in my eyes. I'm out of your mind, am I in your mind? You see the obsession in my eyes I know that this isn't what I want.

SPEAKER_04A symphony of synth, let the music move you on Synth Pop Symphony's new for us. The more we try to sign up. No one tried to wrong, no one should play. Empire's for us. We lost how we keep it up.
SPEAKER_08But something keeps me running back to you.
unknownI keep running on you.
SPEAKER_08So running on to you too. I keep running and I keep running running. We took over just to part. And coming home to you is all the taste. I love that this is fine. We both know that we can do that. You're about to be.

unknownJust drive. If you wanna make it loud, just alive. I don't think it caused me.
SPEAKER_00At number ten was Phantoms with Perpetual Motion off the name of the same EP. And number eleven was Dilemma Machine with Rogue Effects with Back in Time. Those guys have an AD sound that is just so cool. You just gotta love it. And then at number 12 was Echo Image with an Amazon. These guys are putting out new music in 2025. Hopefully there'll be a new album coming out until then. That is a great, great first effort in 2024 for new music from Echo Image. And number nine is a video that I play all the time. I love color theory. And Ryan Hazard, and every time you put out a new track, I try to get it on the air as quickly. It is one of my absolute favorite songs of the year.
SPEAKER_08But I can see the fight.

SPEAKER_16You're honest and brave enough to go beyond the foe.
SPEAKER_08You know what you gotta reach out by yourself and realize everything you really are, who are in the party, you can't be able to get the money.
SPEAKER_00Also fantastic is when an 80s legacy artist put down brand new music in the boys. There was a lot of great music coming out from the colour connection. And this crack came out over the thumb and was like a part from them. It was a more of a difficult track, and I just thought it was really cool.

Not only is this guy brand new young artists putting out a bunch of great tracks in the year. But this one just did it for me.
