Song Production Information
Bill Hamel
"Dance Celebration is just that... with a little dirt thrown in for good measure! I think this song is the perfect blend of dirty house and electro all rolled in to one anthem! I worked on this song w/ Nosmo and Kris B, 2 Chicago area producers... (hence the dirty house elements)... then brought in Kevens, a reggae artist from Miami... the end result was one dance floor monster, don't ya think?"
