History

Quality released the first Dance Mix album as Dance Mix '90. Two Years later, Muchmusic Dance Mix '92 was released with the Muchmusic logo on the cover and a series of advertisements on the channel. The final album in this series, Dance Mix 1997, was released by Quality without Muchmusic branding. In the United States, Quality, through its co-owned US subsididary Critique/Radikal Records, used featured tracks from "Dance Mix '92" to release the first of eight "Dance Mix USA" compilations, which proved to be popular with American fans through endless television and print campaigns. The last "Dance Mix USA" set released in America was in 1998 through Radikal. The album MuchDance 1997 was released in 1997. Starting in 1998, a new edition has since been released every year, with the title of the album reflecting the next year (thus why there is no MuchDance 1998, as the album released that year was released under the title of MuchDance 1999). The latest album in the series, MuchDance 2022, was released on December 3, 2021.
