HolidayGreen Day
This is a signature song by Green Day, the band that became the first punk group to win the Grammy’s top award and achieve worldwide fame.
It’s well known that proceeds from this track and other singles were donated to areas affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami.
From the vocals to the performance, everything is incredibly energetic, with a momentum that’s truly overwhelming.
HeavenDJ Sammy & Yanou featuring Do
An incredibly refreshing, heaven-sent banger from DJ Sammy, hailing from Mallorca, Spain.
The vocals, with their almost teenage-like tone, are energetic and super cute! It’s a literally feel-good, get-you-moving track—my top pick in trance music.
If you’ve been avoiding trance because it feels “too intense,” this one’s especially for you.
Highly recommended.

It’s a collaboration with Jay-Z, who would later become her husband.

The song helped foster greater understanding of homosexuality and gained support from the LGBTQ+ community.
It might be the perfect track for those who can’t suppress their feelings of love or who want to live authentically without worrying about society’s gaze.
