New House Top 10 Chart
Nov 30th
I’ve been downloading a few more tracks lately (quite a few Electro) ready for my next gig on December 19th and I’ve added some of them to my Top 10 tracks chart. All but 2 tracks are new, staying are Duck Sauce – Anyway and Paulo Mojo – Lauda.
You can view my top 10 here
This week’s favourite tune is Alex Kidd – Unholy Grail, closely followed by Benni Benassi’s remix of Red Hot Chili Peppers My Otherside and Be:Gold’s Sun Stroke trance track.
Alex Kidd – Unholy Grail (Electro House)
Nov 29th
I’m never been the biggest fan of Electro House, I’ve always liked my house more funky with good vocals rather than having quick snippets of vocal samples etc but this track from Alex Kidd (USA) is quite different and it’s a great track to open a set with.
Everyone would have heard the sample he uses, but it’s looped and cut up over a synthy bassline that I’m sure will go down well on the dancefloor.
Check it out, listen to the preview below and click to buy at amazon for 79p
House Classic – The Bucketheads – The Bomb!
Nov 28th
The Bomb is probably one of the most well-known classic house tracks from the 90′s. Using a simple vocal sample “Street sounds swirling through my mind…” the Bucketheads, is Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, who is also one half of Masters of Work, another very popular house name.
The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind) has an addictable bassline and funky beat and it’s still sampled to this day.
The original is a massive 14 minutes 51 seconds long!
House Classic – Robin S – Show Me Love
Nov 26th
Yes, some of you are probably thinking that this track has been killed to death thanks to the countless number of remixes over recent years.
It seems each year a different version of this track will become hugely popular on dance floors. At the moment it’s Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso’s mash-up with their track “Be”. Another year it was Mobin Master’s remix etc but none of them come close to Stonebridge’s remix following the Original’s release way back in 1993.
The song reached number 6 in the UK singles charts, and 16 years on, “Show Me Love” remains just as popular as it was when it was first released.
Tune of the Week – Robbie Rivera – We Live for the Music
Nov 24th
My favourite tune at the moment is Robbie Rivera’s “We Live For the Music”. I think it’s one of those peak time tracks that’ll go down great in a club and I’ll definitely be playing it out for the first time at my next gig on December 19th.
You can buy the full length DJ friendly version at amazon.co.uk for just £0.69 – bargain if you ask me! Click the link below to preview and buy.
