Pride Toronto is a fair supporting the LGBT community held every June in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

It’s a festival that celebrates the diversity of the LGBT community, where many dancers, artists, live performers, and DJs energize the event.

Carly Rae Jepsen also performed “Feels Right” live there, and the specially arranged version she did at the time is this track, “Feels Right ‘Pride Remix.’” The rainbow colors used throughout are said to symbolize diversity! The song itself is an up-tempo number.

A dazzlingly upbeat synth lead—this is a melody I think everyone has heard at least once.

It even gets picked up in commercials from time to time, right? But this version is a remix by Armin van Buuren, known as the prince of trance.

He keeps the highlights mostly intact while giving it a tasty remix treatment, so no worries there.

It features a punchy kick that accelerates the catchy phrases, and a driving bassline with just the right amount of sidechain to fill the gaps and create a sense of momentum.

It’ll get you hyped!

Hey Look Ma, I Made ItPanic! At The Disco

A feel-good, four-on-the-floor banger from Panic! At The Disco.

Despite the energizing rhythm and catchy chorus, the lyrics and music video are quite laced with irony.

Even if you achieve success and make money, your feelings don’t necessarily keep up, I suppose.
