Looking for artist/title of electronic song ...

[DJEiffelT]

Flipping around the radio dial during the wee hours of one morning, I caught a snippet of an electronic song that I liked ...

What I can describe of it ...
What stood out was the bass line ... unlike a bland bass line hidden in the background, it was very prominent ... it was a fuzzy, synthesized, very melodic bass line ...
Girls and guys singing ...
Just a snip of lyrics ...
Something like "on the same side" or "on the safe side" ...
Something like "get your treasure in" ...

The song was not ID'ed but I did make note of what station I had heard it on ...

Went to that station's website ... fortunately they do provide playlists ... woo hoo!!

Bad news, I can't really narrow down in and about what time I heard it ...

So below is a portion of that playlist covering a few hours worth of music during which my song could have been played ...

Anyone want to take a guess?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

My 1st guess would be The Other Side by Paul Van Dyk. I couldn't find the lyrics online, so I played the song and typed some for you. It's from his 'Politics of Dancing' CD.

'See you on the other side...when I close my eyes....and I reach the light. See you on the other side....when I close my eyes.
Broken through, I will comfort you, when I wake my tongue is tied.....daylight brings the great divide. We can light the rain, whispering your name.

Believe the sun will rise, when I reach the light, I will see you on the other side.

Jenny, thank you for your guess of Paul Van Dyk ... even though it was not the song I was looking for, turns out I like that one too!

Now for one other bit of business to attend to ...

btw that radio station sounds awesome. is it xm or do they just play club music at night?

It's sort of a local radio station for me ... FM radio ...
From what I can gather, it's nothing but dance music in any and all formats ... techno, electronica, club, old school, disco ...
Nice bonus, they have a listen live link ...

Here's the website for those interested ...

Thanks again!
Enjoy! B)
There you go.
