The infectious, feel-good Top 10 Billboard Hot Dance and #1 Sirius Radio hit, written and produced by Gold and the production team >HitPlay, is the Grand Prize Winner of the 12th Annual USA Songwriting Competition (as well as First Prize Winner in the Pop category). With a featured vocal by Sasha Allen (Camp, VH-1’s Born To Diva Christina Aguilera, Babyface), the maxi-single contains 8 new remixes by some of today’s hottest remixers and up and coming producers.  DJ/Producer Quentin Harris brings his signature dark and lovely soulfulness to the mix, while Dr. Brooks supplies both an ElektroFunk Club mix and a downtempo old-school piano driven pop mix sure to get people on their feet.  Randy Bettis of Betboyz and Jared Jones of Vibelicious speed up the bpm for that big room circuit sound while newcomer Jonathan Mendelsohn creates a fresh take on the house music we all loved in the 90’s.  Speaking of 90’s house music, the maxi-single is dedicated to one of the most legendary house and dance producers and songwriters of all time, David Cole (1962-1995).  In fact, the original version of “Where The Music Takes You” was mixed by Bob Rosa who was Cole’s right hand mixer and engineer for all his greatest hits.  “I kept telling Ari that I felt David’s spirit in the room with us when we were mixing the song,” says the 2x Grammy Award Winning mixer.
 
“Where The Music Takes You: Maxi-Single” also includes the B-side, “Love Wasn’t Built In a Day” featuring multi-platinum Grammy nominated artist Dave Koz.  The song is an Independent Music Award Winner for Best R&B Song.  “Where The Music Takes You” and “Love Wasn’t Built In a Day” are taken from Ari Gold’s critically acclaimed album, Transport Systems
