Dance Central DLC Additions for Xbox 360
“Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine, Pt. 1 ” is booty-shaking funk track from the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. Originally recorded in 1970, “Sex Machine” was one of the first songs recorded with James Brown’s new band, The J.B.’s. It’s looping groove and funk stabs are sure to get you up on the floor in no time!

“Get Busy”from Jamaican dancehall king Sean Paul wasoriginally released on Paul’s album, Dutty Rock, in 2002. “Get Busy” shot to the top of the charts, hitting Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This marks Sean Paul’s second appearance in Dance Central – his first was the downloadable track “Temperature”, a favorite amongst Dance Central fans.

Rounding out this batch of Dance Central add-on content is “Get It Shawty”, the second single off of Lloyd’s second studio album, Street Love. The pop hit has been motivating “Shawties” to get grooving since its release in 2007.
