Flashback: Amp Dog Knight - I'm Doing Fine

One of the hottest house tunes ever produced.

I'll let it speak for itself.

TUNE ALERT: Alton Miller & Amp Fiddler - When The Morning Comes

Defected have once again delivered an absolute soul wrenching piece of the deepest house around. This below is the Boddhi Satva Ancestral Soul Remix, that injects more soul than the original. It's hard to come by such tunes in a genre that attracts heavy stompin' and dirty breaks.

Please, enjoy :)



Release date: 19th May 2010

Tune alert: Saeed Younan - Yeah Ha.

As mentioned in the last post, my search for Ibizan tunes is awn! I think I'm a little late to join in the bounce of this tune. Then again, it's never too late to fall in love, huh? ;)

Knee Deep in Ibiza bliss.

So, contrary to the previous year's attempt of 'taking a break' from Ibiza, it seems I'm off there again. Well, in my defense, what self-respecting raver can ever turn their back on Ibiza? That's like turning down a lifetime subscription to...Nutella.

Just me?

Although I'm venturing back to the holy land, this time it will feel like a fleeting visit. Thus, in pure childish excitement at the thought of being surrounded by ravers in the sun, the search for Ibizan tunes is on. It's self-gratifying, and to some possibly quite sad, for me to scope like I've never scoped before and predict tunes I'm likely to hear as well as tunes that I won't be able to escape.

The tune below has a beach-covered feel to it, perfect for complementing the mini daydreams within my mind depicting sunny days ahead. And with a vocal, that seems as though it's very purpose is to relax the after party brain of an Ibizan mash head, is from the delightful Cathy Battistessa. Knee Deep in Ibizan bliss.

Tune Of The Week: James Talk & Ridney - Forever

This post probably provides a little too much promotion for Pete Tong and his Essential Tune, with it's branding slapped across the face of the above YouTube video. Like the world doesn't know him and his "essential tune" already? No, I'm not bitter!

Though this tune was released a couple of months ago, it is now that I'm posting it because the momentum behind the popularity is in the airwaves. It's summertime vibe, only applicable to people on holiday at the moment, along with a repetitive mantra of 'We'll live forever' provides a platform for meditation. Or, maybe it just reflects a young man's attempts of clinging to an everlasting youth.

Either way, I'm sure it conjures up memories for house heads who remember the original. And it's nice to see Ridney is all over the place too.

The summer is nearing and the festivals are calling. Let's get this party started!

Enjoy.
