Dancemania Presents E-Rotic Megamix, or simply called E-Rotic Megamix is a remix album released in 2000 by German dance band E-Rotic.
The album consists of 20 remixes of previously released songs, five new songs ("Cat's Eye", "En Mon Coeur", "Move Me Baby", "Ooh Lalala" and "Test My Best"), and 1 remix of the new song "Cat's Eye". The tracks 1-25 are mixed into a non-stop megamix and track 26, the bonus track "Cat's Eye (Ventura Mix)", is a separate song. However, "Test My Best" later appeared on E-Rotic's 2001 studio album Sexual Healing, while the full versions of "Cat's Eye", "En Mon Coeur", "Move Me Baby" and "Ooh Lalala" can be found on their third compilation album "The Collection". "Cat's Eye" is a cover version of Anri's song of the same title, and "Gotta Get It Groovin'" was originally performed by the group IQ-Check, also produced by David Brandes and featuring Lyane Leigh's vocals. The megamix compiles songs from all previous major releases and both female vocalists, Lyane Leigh and Lydia Madajewski. While most of the remixed previously released songs are only slightly altered and kept their original eurodance style, the 5 new songs as well as the remix of the new song Cat's Eye are trance or J-Pop songs. The remixes of Oh Nick Please Not So Quick, Wild And Strong and Help Me Dr. Dick underwent more of a change and can be classified as house. No singles were released from the album.
Thunderpuss was the remix/production team of Los Angeles-based music producers Barry Harris and Chris Cox.

Cox, a musician and DJ, had also worked for years as a DJ and producer, producing a megamix of Paula Abdul songs, among other things, and started his own record label, Interhit Records, with Jeff Johnson.

Dancemania is a series of remix compilation albums by i-DANCE. The series deals primarily with dance music, especially Eurodance. Despite many of its tracks being made by various musicians from all over the world and mainly from the European continent, the albums have been released exclusively in Japan.
A megamix is a remix containing multiple songs in rapid succession. It often features various artists, unlike a medley, which features one artist each. There may be only one verse or even just a brief chorus of each song used, sometimes in addition to samples of the same or other songs. It is common to use different samples to maintain and sometimes even ridicule the original. To unify the songs together smoothly, a single backing beat may be added as background throughout the megamix, although this is not a must. This backing beat is kept basic so as to simplify mixing and to not compete with the music. These mixes are usually several minutes long at minimum, going up to a half-hour or an hour, or even more sometimes.
Bus Stop was a British dance act made up of Darren Sampson, alongside Graham Turner, Mark Hall and Nikki Reid (Lane). The group was formed in 1998 and had a string of hit singles before disbanding in 2002. Main vocalist, Sampson, went on to represent the UK in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest.

"Sex on the Phone" is a song recorded by German eurodance project E-Rotic. It was released in June 1995 as the third single from their debut album Sex Affairs.

It was also a hit in Austria where it reached number two and totaled 14 weeks in the top 30. In other European countries, it achieved a minor success, failing the top 20 in most of them.
