Tune of the Week – Tensnake – Coma Cat
Aug 7th
Tensnake – Coma Cat, released earlier in the year but only now have I come across this beauty. “Coma Cat” has an older disco-house style to it, but it’s blend of vocal samples, and cowbell, piano sounds just combine into a superb chilled out house track. I’ve always preferred the older, more purer house sound, and this brings it back but it’s still fresh and is a potential classic. I love it!!
Jean Jacques Smoothie – 2People (Louise la Roche Remix – DJ Kevin-E Edit)
Jul 19th
I bought this remix from djdownload.com but only discovered afterwards that it’s only 2 mins – not long for DJ use, so I decided to loop it a bit to make it 4 minutes+. Nothing special here, just a bit of intro/outro looping to play it at gigs.
Tune of the Week – Dr Kucho! – Kung Fu Funk
Jun 12th
A funky vibe to this recent release from Dr Kucho! and some great vocals!
Dirty South & Rudy – Phazing
May 11th
2 big names in House – Dirty South and Rudy join forces for “Phazing” – a peak time, uplifting track which uses a sample from harry Nilsson’s song from way back in 1969 – Everybody’s Talkin‘. The vocals are a bit cheesy but it’s sure to be a big tune this Summer.
Tune of the Week – J C – Free (Stonebridge Re-Fx)
May 10th
One of those funky, uplifting bangers that catches your attention as soon as you hear it. A Funky tune with a filtered, FX vocal sample but with a electro feel to it as well. Sure to be big this Summer.
Here’s Armada’s description of the release:
“Summer has hit the speakers, with Free as its soundtrack. A chunky, funky, happy-go-lucky type of house tune from the John Carr studio. J-C brought big room to the next level, with cheeky use of filters, faders and loads of other sound-effects. Free makes the speakers go more than just boom, it shocks them with all the right vibes to fire the crowd.
Mister Stoney Boy himself, StoneBridge, added his touch to Free, making it extra smooth and flowing. Free has peak time written all over!”
