Here is the first instalment on tracks that inspired me, are regulars in my DJ set or tracks tracks that I come back to over and over again for other reasons. Look out for Part 2, Part 3 etc.
Here´s on of those magic classic tracks that always work. I have played this in a house set, in a tech setting and in lounge sets. It´s pure magic! It also points to another of my favourit artists Everything But The Girl with the smooth vocals and airy production.
Erick Morillo – Colombiano
Among the
most playful tracks with a serious heavy beat that you simply cannot get away
from. The Speedy Gonzales sounding vocal sample over a classic Morillo beat
makes Djing a pleasure!
Sllash – Jillie Bean
One of
the finest house interpreations of the MJ track my biggest hero! 4 minutes of
awesome groove giving prays to the big master Micheal Jackson
Dennis Ferrer – Hey Hey
Forever
in my Rekordbox. Simply a masterpiece
Disclosure – Latch
I wonder
if they know how important this track was gonna be when they made it? To me this is one of the tracks that made me
keep the faith in house music and despite overplaying by DJ´s this is one that
will stand out forever!
Black Coffee – Wish You Were Here
I love
strong emotional soulful vocals. This track has that. I love organic sounding
beats. This track got it! Also this track has some special personal meaning
that ties me to a very special person. I always try to finish the night with
this one. Get the shiwers every time!
CamelPhat – Cola
When Cola
started rising to the surface, tech house finally got a name among the regular
listeners. Thanks to this track people like Fisher could break through a year
later. Cola is simply a masterpiece. It also points to the future; techy beats
with sexy playful vocals – where we are still heading.
