Here’s the second of our two-part series on my favorite unofficial remixes from each song on Madonna’s Confessions on a Dancefloor album. This edition includes remixes from “Jump” to “Like It Or Not” in the order they appear on the album, and also includes the bonus tracks “Super Pop”, “History”, and “Fighting Spirit”.

I hope you enjoyed this journey as much as I did!

Show Notes:

• The Dj Rufato’s Rework Mix of “Jump” is also called Rufato’s Powerfull Club Anthem.

In this two-part series, I’m sharing my favorite unofficial remixes from each song on Madonna’s Confessions on a Dancefloor album. This edition includes remixes from “Hung Up” to “Forbidden Love” in the order they appear on the album.

Do you have any favorite remixes of Confessions songs that I didn’t include here? If so, let me know – I’m always looking for new great remixes!

Don’t forget to check the site again in a few days for part 2!

Show Notes:

• During the podcast, I inadvertently omitted the full name of Mike Danavan and Junior Cortez’s remix of “Sorry.” That remix is called “Shoot the Beats Before.” The full name is included in the featured remix list below.
• The song closing out this episode is Avox’s In the Club Remix of “Hung Up.” It’s a fabulous remix and is probably my second-favorite remix of the song! I wanted to find a way to include it in the podcast somehow… The song is listed in the show notes below.
