Help me name this late 90s Early 2000's Dance Song

NeVeR

Hi all,

I posted this in the music forum but it didn't get a reply, So I'm hoping After Hours can help me.

I heard this on the radio over the weekend, and it took me back to my youth! However, I can't remember the name.

It had a grand piano playing for most of it, and at the time, I thought it sounded a little like "Maniac" (the Mark McCabe version), more because of the tempo. Clearly, it wasn't that song.

There are no words in the song, and it has a fast tempo.

I think it's more late 90s than early 2000s.

Please help me name the song. I've been sitting on Spotify for the last 3 hours, clicking through Trance/Techno playlists from the 90s…

NOTE: Think along the lines of "Robert Miles - Fable"

It had Piano and a beat, dance / techno beat.

I tried to Hum something,,, not sure how close I'm getting https://voca.ro/13V8Fle6A1mK

Songs I know it's now

ATB

Orbital - halycon

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo

Thanks for the reply. No it's not that, I'm going to add a list to the main post of songs I know it's not. (well a few of them)

Passenger

Cirrus - October 27, maybe?

Gregor Samsa

What day and what station?

There’s a website that tracks the playlists of all radio stations, so you might find it on that, or at least narrow things down

https://irishradiolive.com/playlists

Leave the “Song title” field blank, select the day using the From and To fields, and choose the station from the dropdown.

Robert Miles - Fable?

I know it was Friday. Between the hours of 5:30 and 7.

As for the station, I'm not sure, I was driving and the misses was changing stations. Also we where in the mountains so we may have had to switch to a station we don't normally listen to just to pick something up.

I'll list my normal stations and then what else it could have been.

Normal:
Nova
FM104
98FM
Q102
Spin103.8

Then maybe it could have been 2FM, TodayFM or East Coast FM as they are better in the mountains.

I vaguely remember it being part of a "throw back" set of 3 songs.

Not this, But I would say somewhat similar to this, The Piano sound is like this.

Great song by the way!

Yes on both. I remember the song from when I was young, I was born early 80's so I would have been around 15-25 when I heard this. and it's 100% Piano and not a electronic one.

No, There was a dance/techno beat to accompany the Piano - nice guess, at lease this one had Piano in it.

So:

• Trance/Techno Song
• 90s/00s
• Features a piano with a beat
• Played on an Irish radio station between 5:30pm and 7pm on Friday the 2nd August

Yes, But don't focus too much on the Maniac thing, Only parts of it sound similar, and it was just a feeling I had while listening to it.

The Robert Miles song Fable is also similar to the Piano sound.

2FM generally quite dancey on a Friday afternoon

You could trawl through these, but reckon a lot wouldn't be played on Irish radio

I just checked photos, and I can narrow it down to between 5:30 and 7,

I checked all those.
I've checked most of the playlists they have…
As I said I was going through the mountains, Some stations didn't work, and we may have just turned in anything to get it working, I was driving and the misses was looking after the radio.

StrawbsM

8fm has a good few 90s/00s songs

Be right back

Darude- sandstorm?
