These songs also belong to my favorites – or maybe WILL belong to my favorites, in case it’s just a tiny fragment, and I will hear the entire song. I don’t know the title and the year of release, though.
Click the links. Is there somebody who can help me out???

ABOUT THIS SITE
Besides links to my webradios, this site is filled with lots of songs to try. They are in the narrow bar on the left.
As long as I like it: everything (no purist bullshit here, when it comes to specific genres...), but in practice there's an emphasis on sound instead of lyrics. Expect lots of funky drums, grooves, riffs, horns, bleeps, chords and exotic instruments.
And in general, I like a natural feel (also when it's in fact 100 % electronic) and a dynamic sound, without obvious loudness wars going on. But there will always be exceptions. And forced hipness will never be my cup of tea.
Simple: If a song is even more to me than 'very nice', really outstanding, it will be added to the site. Besides these tracks, there's a huge amount of other tracks I really like, just not enough to mention here.
ABOUT MYSELF
I'm born in 1981, Dutch and female. My personal music history, because it's relevant on a site like this:
I'm listening to pop music since 1990, starting with my fathers cds/lps, with pop/rock oldies, some classical music, some 70s compilations with music like Boney M and Luv, and some typical Dutch stuff like BZN; some people would call it corny. No modern pop/dance yet (the Dutch children act Kinderen Voor Kinderen not counted; officially, KVK part 11 was my first cd).
That phase started halfway 1991. I especially started to like dance music, and for the next one and a half decade to follow, I wouldn't listen much to golden oldies anymore.
Till 2000 most dance I listened to was extremely commercial; a huge 2 Unlimited obsession, during from 1992 till 1996, included.
The period after that, it was still commercial but in a more grown-up way. That era started about December 2000/January 2001, after discovering an internet station (Dancenet.fm) playing groovy tunes, like Daft Punk - One more time.
In the next couple of years to follow, my devotion to dance music (especially the 'serious' side of it) would reach it's peak. Discussing all the stuff on discussion boards, buying Hed Kandi cds, buying dance magazines and obsessive downloading included. I was standing right in front of the current trends.
I remember myself getting quite tired of everything, late 2004/early 2005.
After a long break from enjoying music in an intense way (a period of breathing space) and making the decision to take it more easy in the future, 2005-early 2008 turned out to be the transition period to now.
Besides dance music (in 2005 heavily influenced by the French station Underground FG, playing quite subtle kinds of dance), I started to like more and more other kinds of music, and the way of producing records got more important. I didn't complain much about things like 'overproduction' and 'loudness wars' before, but I started to notice it.
When it came to music released before my time, something not really getting my attention the years before, I started save, with exploring the 1988-1990 era: De La Soul, Soul II Soul and all the others. Because there seemed to be a certain click. And in 2006, I started to like music released before that, often many years before my birth. Yeah, the oldies were back...
In general my taste was becoming more laidback, and the amount of funky elements also increased. Early 2008, Studio Brussel's De Hop (presented by the founder of internet station Laidback Radio, and the same kind of music) was a huge influence.
Since Spring 2008, nothing has changed anymore (while the entire 2003-early 2008 era was VERY experimental; I can assure you I've not mentioned everything above). I'm still listening to dance music nowadays, just less intensively when compared to 1991-2005.
