Have you heard the newest mix from DJ Tristan Jaxx? Dance Floor Therapy is his latest high-energy set. At over 100 minutes, Dance Floor Therapy will make you dance in your seat, at work, at the gym, or on the dance floor. The best cure for a long day, week, or just a great reason to get up and dance!

In this mix we hear some great music from a selection of standard dance remixed divas: Deborah Cox, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Britney. I also loved hearing tracks from Inaya Day, Peter Rauhofer (RIP), Adele, Armin van Buuren, Mika, and Mariah Carey. It’s another awesome set from DJ Tristan Jaxx!
