I haven't been back to Paris since we moved last June. So this weekend we're escaping to the City of Lights to see our friend Xavier (who will be visiting from New York), shop as the bi-annual sales started today, workout at our favorite gym L'Usine, eat baguettes and falafel, and just enjoy the city. All of which means Club Fridays needs to relocate to Wednesdays since tomorrow I'll be busy at the gym, working, packing and cleaning the house for our housesitter Emily.

It's quite honestly a slow week in music. The first of the year always brings with it an onslaught of releases that aren't memorable. As a result, this week on Club Fridays I'm featuring a hot track released at the end of 2007 - but is currently sitting atop the Billboard Dance Charts. Dave Gahan is the lead singer of Depeche Mode, but also a solo act with the release of Hourglass. The first single, Kingdom, crawled its way to the top of the dance charts with the help of Booka Shade and Ralphi Rosario and Jody Den Broeder. But it's the latter's version (and two of my favorite remixers of the moment) that ups the single from a dark and moody track to a big room filler. For the link to the track unavailable for purchase on iTunes, go here. For more information on Gahan, visit his website here. And if you like the mix and want to hear more from Ralphi, go here. And since Ralphi didn't do it all alone, don't forget to learn more about Jody who's had an impressive year with remixes for the likes of Rihanna and Enrique. Check his Myspace page out here.
