My inspiration – Part 1

Simon Field Inspiration Studio and DJ

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.

All tracks in these articles are likely to be found in my playlists: IBIZA 2020 PLAYLIST , IBIZA Classics, TechHouse or Organic House

Tooth Faeries – Dust and Ashes

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.
