03. Fonzerelli x Kryder - Moonlight Party (Fan Favourite OG Mix)
If you clubbed-it across the grand span of European dancefloors in the mid-noughties, chances are what you’re looking at here will have put a goofily nostalgic grin on your face. If not, hey, welcome to that ‘Party’!!
When Aaron ‘Fonzerelli’ McClelland debuted back in ’06, he did so in about the biggest way imaginable. Through Tiesto’s ‘In Search Of Sunrise 5: Los Angeles’ album and the Dutchman’s weekly Clublife radio show, ‘Moonlight Party’ broke in a major way, turning it into a European chart hit.
The irresistible groove that sits behind it has barely dated a day since, but that hasn’t stopped Fonzerelli teaming up with Kryder to give ‘Moonlight Party’ a remodelling!
‘Moonlight’ bounces back in two distinct flavours, with F & K’s new Extended Mix dropping some knowingly-retro Todd Terry-ish kick ‘n’ hi-hat business, before the bass and its naggingly infectious pianos take charge. One drop of its haunting “dance till sunrise” vocal hook and you’ll be straight back to those more innocent of clubfloor times!
A nod to the track’s enduring appeal, Kryder and Aaron’s have also fashioned a ‘Fan Favourite OG Mix’, which brings that thumping piano loop right to the forefront of the production. Filters, phasers and all those early Axwell ‘n’ Prydzy-type feels will have the floor “dancing in the moonlight” and “waiting for the sunrise” all over again.
Laced with relentless good cheer, Fonzerelli x Kryder’s bringback is ready to fire up the EOY ‘Party’ season that’s all but upon us! Find it through all good streaming and sales channels here.

Fonzerelli x Kryder - Moonlight Party 10
Summary
Aaron ‘Fonzerelli’ McClelland debuted in 2006 with ‘Moonlight Party,’ which became a European chart hit through Tiesto’s album and radio show. The irresistible groove hasn’t aged, but Fonzerelli teamed up with Kryder to remix it. Moonlight Party’ has two distinct flavors. The Extended Mix starts with a knowingly retro Todd Terry-ish kick ’n’ hi-hat, before the bass and infectious pianos take charge. The haunting “dance till sunrise” vocal hook will transport you back to those carefree clubfloor times. Kryder and Aaron’s ‘Fan Favourite OG Mix’ brings the thumping piano loop to the forefront, evoking the same dance floor magic as their earlier tracks. Overall, Aaron ‘Fonzerelli’ McClelland’s “Moonlight Party” Kryder remix features two distinct flavors: the Extended Mix with a retro kick and infectious pianos, and the OG Mix with a thumping piano loop. #PureGold Love iT
