Last Saturday, June 18, 201 1 at around 11:00pm, I finished recording the Roxas Audio Stream Club Mix Vol2 for the month of June. The songs were a compilation of the 70's, 80's and 90's and some of it are my personal favorites. 16 songs made up of Vol2, playing time was 1hr. and 16mins. and size was about 103Mb. Moods of the songs are disco/upbeat and swing. Vol2 was my tribute to 357 and Escapade, Kutso-Kutso, Soltero, 2 Coconuts, Altacosta, Bizyo, Mariano's and Club Ysabel's.
Here are the lists and some information regarding these songs:
1. Africa (Toto) - One of the band's most recognizable songs. It was included on their 1982 album Toto IV, and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1983 and number three on the UK Singles Chart the same month.
2. You To Me Are Everything (Real Thing) - Written by Ken Gold and Michael Denne and produced by Ken Gold, "You to Me Are Everything" was The Real Thing's sole number-one single in the UK, spending three weeks at the top in July 1976. A remixed version of the song returned to the chart in March 1986 reaching number five. The song was a minor hit in the U.S. where it peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 28 on the Billboard R&B chart. Part of the reason for its lack of success in the U.S. was the flood of cover versions of the song released at the same time. American groups Broadway and Revelation both released versions of the song the same week, and at one point all three versions of the song appeared on Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. With radio and the public unable to agree on a single popular version, the three singles effectively prevented each other from becoming a hit.
3. Heavenly To Me Mix (Tavares) - This song was one of the sound track on the movie Charlie's Angel. Remember Cameron Diaz dancing, I think that was the song.
4. Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley) - The song was released as the first single from Astley's multi-million selling debut album, Whenever You Need Somebody. The song was a worldwide number-one hit, initially in the singer's native United Kingdom in 1987, where it stayed at number one for five weeks and was the best-selling single of that year. It eventually topped the charts in 25 countries, including the US and Germany.
5. Keep On Dancing (Gary's Gang) - "Keep on Dancin'", reached #41 in 1978. The song climbed to #8 in the UK Singles Chart, #14 on the Hot Soul Singles chart in 1978 and also made #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. Gary's Gang was the brainchild of Joseph Tucci and Gary Turnier who put the group together when they sold "Keep on Dancin" to Sam Records in Long Island City. The song was written, produced and recorded in Tucci's Richmond Hill garage. All vocals were sung by Tucci, who also played all the instruments (except for the drums which were played by Gary Turnier). After Gary Turnier shopped the song to all major labels for several weeks, Sam Records picked up the record for release. Sam Weiss sold the record to Columbia Records a few months later.
6. Everything Changes (Take That) - The song was the fifth single from the band's second album Everything Changes. It was written and produced by Gary Barlow. The song features Robbie Williams on lead vocals.
7. Un Break My Heart (Toni Braxton) - Is a song by American recording artist Toni Braxton from her second studio album, Secrets (1996). Written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster, the ballad was released as the album's second single. The song ranked at number ten on The Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs and number three on the Top Billboard Hot 100 R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The song reached number one in five countries (Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and the United States) in addition to Europe. In the United States, it achieved the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Dance Club Songs and Adult Contemporary charts. The song was certified platinum in seven countries and gold in three others. Released in late 1996, it spent eleven consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100. However, since four of those were in December 1996, it only finished fourth in the 1997 Billboard Year-End chart, while finishing fourth in the 1990s decade chart. The song was an official song of the 2006 FIFA World Cup and earned Braxton the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
8. Dare Me (Voltolina fea. Monica Harem) - Released in 1985, originally sung by the Pointers Sisters.
9. If You Could Read My Mind (Roselle) - A song by Canadian singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. It reached number one on Canadian music charts and was his first recording to appear on the American music charts, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in January 1971. Later in the year, it reached number 30 in the UK. Lightfoot has cited his divorce for inspiring the lyrics, saying they came to him as he was sitting in a vacant Toronto house one summer.
10. I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) - Gloria Gaynor (born Gloria Fowles, September 7, 1949, Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, best-known for the disco era. The song reached #1 in 1979 (Hot 100). The lyrics of this song are written from the point of view of a woman, recently dumped, telling her former lover that she can cope without him and does not want anything more to do with him. The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation, and is still a staple of office parties and karaoke nights.
11. Good Vibration (Marky Mark) - From the album Music for the People and was released at the end of 1991. The song became a number-one hit in the US, Sweden and Switzerland. Was written by Amir "MC SPICE" Shakir, a good friend of Donnie Wahlberg, Mark Wahlberg, and Dan Hartman. The rapper/songwriter also wrote and produced "Wild Side" for Mark Wahlberg's debut LP as well as three other songs. It has no connection to the Beach Boys song of the same title. The song includes portions of Loleatta Holloway's track "Love Sensation"; she is credited as a featured artist on this single. "Good Vibrations" is the only number one song for both Marky Mark and Loleatta Holloway.
12. Micheal Jackson/Lionel Richie - This is bootleg music - created by professional and underground djs. A single track or two track, remix or mix to create a new track, extra beat and electronic sound are added. They are unreleased music, no recording label unless it was sold by the person who created the bootleg to a recording company. This is a two track song from Micheal Jackson and Lionel Richie.

Rhythm Of The Night (Debarge) - Released in 1985 from the album Rhythm of the Night album which was the title track, originally featured on the Motown film, The Last Dragon, which granted the group their biggest pop success reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming their biggest-selling and most successful single to date. The group was one of the few recording acts to bring success to the Motown label during the 1980s.

15. Cult Of Snap (Jerome Isma-Ae & Snap) - The group Snap! was a German Eurodance project formed in 1989 by Frankfurt-based producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti. The act has been through a number of line-up changes over the years, but was most successful when fronted by rapper Turbo B, who performed on the UK number 1 singles "The Power" and "Rhythm Is a Dancer". In 1980, "Cult of Snap" charted at number 8 in the UK and number 3 in Germany,
