Melbourne DJ Jolyon Petch is No.1 on the ARIA dance charts and now all over commercial radio with a dance cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams - featuring reality TV star Reigan Derry deliberately recreating Stevie Nicks' vocals. It's the latest in a growing trend of local DJs taking classic hits which have had a resurgence and retooling them for the dance floor - most notably Melbourne DJ Sgt Slick who has had millions of streams of his dance remake of ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight), again using soundalike vocalists. Slick's latest single sees him turn a Cyndi Lauper ballad from the 80s into a dance hit. In his home studio in Melbourne. Picture Rebecca Michael.
