And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Ludacris worked with Shawna on "What's Your Fantasy," a track notable for its detailed scenarios set to a catchy beat, featuring on both his debut album and the major-label debut.
2. The vocals for "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi were produced via MacinTalk, a speech synthesis that gave the track its mechanically distinctive style, cementing its place in electro house history.
3. "Insomnia" by Faithless uses bell sounds sampled from the BBC Sound Archive. The song’s iconic intro complements its themes of sleepless nights and restless energy.
4. "Feelin’ Me" was released on Positiva Records, showcasing Therese's venture into the electronic music scene with production from Digital Dog.
5. Flo Rida's "Sugar" prominently samples "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65, lending a dose of 90s nostalgia to the catchy rap song.
6. The debut single by Craig David incorporates a sample from Artful Dodger’s remix of "Still on Your Side," contributing to the UK garage and R&B blend that characterized the track.
7. In 2004, Tiësto collaborated with BT, an American producer known for his contributions to electronic music, on the single from the album *Just Be*.
8. "After Love" by Blank & Jones is classified as trance, highlighting the duo's style at the turn of the millennium and contributing to its enduring club appeal.
9. Bryan Adams provided vocals for the Chicane track, released in 2000. Interestingly, earlier white-label editions did not credit him, though the vocals were unmistakably his.
10. Caesars released "Jerk It Out" under the name Caesars Palace. The song’s infectious energy led to its broad licensing in media and subsequent success.
11. "Song to the Siren" was originally released in 1970 by Tim Buckley. Lost Witness later covered the song, adding a trance spin to the classic track.
12. Saint Etienne's involvement with "Tell Me Why (The Riddle)" added a unique vocal layer to Paul van Dyk’s instrumental work, reflecting a blend of electronic and pop elements.
