AJ Mora - River Of Life

This is track 17 (the final track) on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

DJ AJ Mora takes a popular children's church song and refreshes it with rap styling.

ETW - Stay Together (Remix); Nitro Praise - As The Deer


These are tracks 15 and 16, respectively, on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

As with Give It Up, ETW's Stay Together is featured on both the album Ain't Nobody Dyin' But Us and the Extended Play Remixes album.

As The Deer is a slow-tempo, R&B-infused rendition on the album Nitro Praise 2, which is produced by Scott Blackwell.

Jars Of Clay - Unforgetful You (Remix)

This is track 13 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

Out Of Eden - Lovely Day; dc Talk - Lean On Me


These are tracks 12 and 14, respectively, on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

These are both the original singles, not remixes. Lean On Me is, of course, a cover of the 80s song.

Sonicflood - In The Secret (Dunamis Remix)

This is track 11 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

This is a remix album of praise & worship songs by Dunamis. As a whole, this album is pretty disappointing in terms of dance remixes. This track, though, is pretty good, albeit slower-tempo.

ETW - Give It Up (Remix)

This is track 10 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

This remix appeared on both the album Ain't Nobody Dyin' But Us and the Extended Play Remixes album.

Church Of Rhythm - Take Back The Beat (Boom Boom Remix)

This is track 8 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

COR was a short-lived pop/rock/dance group. They put out two albums and one remix album. The problem with this group, in my opinion, is that they couldn't decide what genre they wanted to be. Sometimes their songs were full-on rock; other times, their songs would be pop/dance.

Brent Jones - Get Up (Mixdown Remix)

This is track 6 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

I had not heard of Brent Jones before this Mixdown remix album. I presume he's a gospel singer.

T-Bone - Life After Death

This is track 5 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

T-Bone, if you couldn't tell from the album cover, is a rapper.

This is a single, not a remix.

dc Talk - Socially Acceptable (Mixdown Remix)

This is track 4 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

This is a 2003 remix of the song that was originally from dc Talk's 1992 album Free At Last.

John Reuben - Divine Inspiration

This is track 3 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

John Reuben is a hip-hop artist who caught the attention of dc Talk's Toby McKeehan and was subsequently signed to TobyMac's Gotee Records label.

I don't usually do hip-hop tracks in my DJ mixes, but thought I'd stretch my boundaries a little :)

This is a single, not a remix.

Avalon - Testify To Love (New Birth Mix)

This is track 2 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

This album also has two fantastic trance remixes of Avalon songs. I bought the album just for these two remixes. Highly recommended.

Shine - Higher Love

This is track 1 on Nonstop Christian Dance Mixes #14-15.

It's a cover of the 80s song by Steve Winwood. In this version, the UK group Shine sing about the higher love from God.

This is a single, not a remix.

Phenomania - Who Is Elvis

Almost all the individual tracks used in Nonstop Energy Mixes #47-48 are still easily available in the marketplace as of this writing, so out of respect for the artists, I won't be posting them.

However, one track in that DJ mix is Phenomania's "Who Is Elvis", which is definitely not still out in stores. You can check it out with the link below.

A group called Interactive also made a version of this song but it's not as good as Phenomania's beat, in my opinion. I still have this old-skool techno classic on vinyl!

Newcleus - Jam On It (Long Version)

This is track #8 on Nonstop 80s Mix #5. It's the 12" remix.

Pebbles - Mercedes Boy (Long Version)

This is track #7 on Nonstop 80s Mix #5.

Madonna - Open Your Heart (12" Mix)

This is track #6 on Nonstop 80s Mix #5.

The Cover Girls - Because Of You (Ultimix)

This is track #5 on Nonstop 80s Mix #5.

The Chicago Bears - Super Bowl Shuffle (Extended Vocal Mix)

This is track #4 used in Nonstop 80s Mix #5.

There's also a "Vocal Mix" and an "Instrumental" version for those who want to karaoke this...lol

Jody Watley - Looking For A New Love (Extended Club Mix)

This is track #3 used in Nonstop 80s Mix #5.

Level 42 - Something About You (Sisa Mix)

This is track #2 used in Nonstop 80s Mix #5.

Robbie Nevil - C'est La Vie (Extended Version)



This is track #1 in Nonstop 80s Mix #5.
