"No Romeo" was written by Dannii Minogue, Hannah Robinson, and Pascal Gabriel for the intended 2004 follow-up to her critically acclaimed 80s tinged dance-pop album, Neon Nights. The project was recorded while she was signed to London Records, but when the label underwent a major restructure in late 2003 and her A&R team was let go, Dannii was left in limbo.

Rather than wait for the situation to resolve, she signed a new deal with AATW in 2004. Although she was permitted to take her previously recorded material, the new label's strong house music identity meant these more pop and R&B-leaning tracks were set aside. Soon, rumours of a new album, tentatively titled Heavy Disco, began to circulate, with fans hoping for a remixed version of "No Romeo." While the Heavy Disco project was ultimately scrapped, the period resulted in two releases: the 2006 greatest hits collection, The Hits & Beyond, and 2007's Club Disco, which compiled the house tracks she recorded for the label.

While an official remix never surfaced, the original version of "No Romeo"—a percussive, bass-driven pop-R&B gem—was finally released in 2007 on Unleashed, a compilation from Warner Music (London's parent company). This remix is my interpretation of what a Heavy Disco version might have sounded like, complete with Moog bass lines, a soulful house piano riff, plenty of double claps, a wonky, late-2000s electro-house breakdown, and even a little champagne bottle popping before the last chorus for good measure. Don't you think the disco house style enhances the diva sound of Dannii's head voice adlibs?

Dannii Minogue's 'Love Fight' was first written in 2004 with Savan Kotecha, Carl Falk and Jake Schulze, and became a standout 'Beyond' track on 2006's The Hits & Beyond. This remix takes the elements that cemented the electropop banger as a fan favourite and gives it a disco makeover, replacing the original beat and bassline with a driving 4-to-the-floor groove.
