Recently, Jay Bird released "Rise And Shine."
This upbeat disco house track feels like a melding of early 90's house music and late 70's/early 80's vocals, but it also has a modern sheen so it fits in with other current EDM songs. It's a banger that will make you want to get up and dance.

Recently, dance producer Jay Bird released "No Exception."
This mid-to-uptempo EDM track fuses together pop, soul, and house elements to create a great dance song. The flow and feel of the uncredited male vocalist's performance perfectly complements the music.
