'90s Dance Party

Ladies and gentlemen! The iTunes time-travel tour is about to begin, so please unfasten your seat belts and step out onto the floor for one big, bad, totally rad ’90s dance party. The sounds may be vintage, but the effect is oh-so immediate as C+C Music Factory makes good on a promise to promote honest perspiration with the groove command “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” House of Pain elevates the party-time masses alongside some heart rates with the literal hip-hop of “Jump Around,” and Vanilla Ice provides a cooling sensation with the chill flow of “Ice Ice Baby.”

“C’mon n’ Ride It (The Train),” command Quad City DJ’s, so take your ’90s dance party to the next stop, in Next Steps.

Can’t decide whether your pals should let loose to the get-fresh flow of Beck and his dance-floor GPS “Where It’s At,” or simply “zoom-a-zoom-zoom-zoom and a-boom-boom” to the booty-shakin’ beats of Wreckx-N-Effect’s “Rump Shaker” party-starter? Why not do it all, especially when our ’90s Dance Party Essentials teems with everything from the plastic-fantastic sounds of Swedish-pop playthings Aqua and a bright-eyed “Barbie Girl,” to the ethereal energy of Seal and his mind-over-matter off switch “Crazy,” to the sonic embrace of Crystal Waters and her ’90s virtual valentine “100% Pure Love.”

“It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over,” croons Lenny Kravitz, so keep the ’90s dance party going strong in Deep Cuts.

Welcome to Deep Cuts, where we wander far and wide through the last ten years of the 20th century to bring you the best of the decade’s dedicated dance tracks, from the California funk of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ tongue-twisting “Give It Away,” to the trippy Brit-hop of Stereo MC’s and the dance-floor live wire “Connected.” Queen of the night RuPaul is standing by to cheer you on with “sashay, Shante” command of “Supermodel (You Better Work),” while Enrique Iglesias spices things up with the picante Latin flavor of “Bailamos,” and Propellerheads & Shirley Bassey state the obvious with a bold and beaty “History Repeating.”

Celebrate the moments of your life (or the ones that led up to its creation) with the spice-of-life variety of ’90s Dance Party, our locomotive look back to a time when hittin’ the floor meant shakin’ what your mama gave you to the crazy-time tune of Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ la Vida Loca,” and perfecting your catwalk strut to the gorgeous growl of one-hit-wonders Right Said Fred and a too-true “I’m Too Sexy.” We’ve carefully combed through the decade to bring you only the finest in end-of-the-millennium movers, from the groundbreaking formulation of “Chemical Beats” by electronica lab partners the Chemical Brothers, to the girl-power sparkle-pop of “Wannabe” by candied combo the Spice Girls, to the radiant warmth of “Ray of Light” from the ultimate dance-time diva, Madonna.
