And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Mousse T. and The Dandy Warhols melded “Horny ’98” and “Bohemian Like You.” It’s a fusion that brings together sexy vibes and alternative flair.
2. Before Lloyd claimed it, this Street Love single was crafted for Usher. The family connection ran deep with co-writer credits to Usher’s half-brother.
3. Ian Carey released his catchy single under “The Ian Carey Project.” It climbed charts globally, marking a breakthrough in his career.
4. The signature voice secretly belongs to Mary Pearce, a renowned backing vocalist. Her uncredited feature adds punch to Harris’s track.
5. Paul Harris of Dirty Vegas fame lent his talents to a project with Dave Spoon. The collaboration shows the cross-pollination of talent in electronic music circles.
6. “A Ram Sam Sam” famously inspired the chorus of Stock’s 2003 single. The melody’s international roots sprinkled a touch of nostalgia on the dance tracks.
7. “Blue – Bubblin” found its niche on YouTube, resonating with listeners on an ongoing casual vibe. Longevity isn’t just for legends.
8. “Take It” showcases Lima’s vocals alongside Tom Novy. Their partnership created a lasting impression on the electro scene.
9. Little Boots’s lead single portrays LA’s edgier side, away from the glam shimmer. The narrative contrasts sharply with the city’s sunlit façade.
10. Yves Larock took house music around the world with Jaba’s vocals. Their 2007 release achieved mainstream success, ranking high in numerous charts.
11. Craig Powell took the spotlight for Uniting Nations’ single. His presence turned heads from stage to studio.
