VAAL & TALE OF US - Concor (live version)


























This track has been driving me crazy since Tale Of Us dropped it in the Boiler Room. That was almost four months ago. Finally some unknown hero got his hands on a live version of "Concor" and uploaded it on Youtube for us to enjoy.

What a weird, mysterious and huge track this is. Certainly destroys any dance floor it gets played on.

MATHEW HERBERT - It's Only (DJ Koze remix)

























Deep, dark, groovy and with a distinctive, almost poetic, vocal. 

DJ Koze gives a new meaning to the word 'groove' with this remix. 

HOLDEN - Blackpool Late Eighties

























If you haven't yet listened to Holden's latest solo album The Inheritors, you should give it a listen. Many people will agree with me that it's one of the best albums of 2013. I wrote a review on the album in Dutch, which you can check out here if you're interested.

"Blackpool Late Eighties" intensifies by the minute, all these synths hypnotize you over and over again. The loop sounds so simple yet it grooves on for almost nine minutes and never seems to bore me. One of the many masterpieces on The Inheritors..
Fun fact of the day: Holden made this track in a hotel room completely off his tits from smoking weed. 




This is the only Soundcloud version there is and it's played at slightly higher beats per minute then the original. You might like it more, but I think it's slightly less hypnotizing then the Youtube version.



HENRIK SCHWARZ - Walk Music (instruments live version)


























What a magical introduction this track has, must be dazzling to hear it live.

The instruments, that vibe and Henrik's magical touch.

JOHNNY MIKES ft. MICHAEL B - Darkness Everyday

























Same lyrics as "Ain't No Sunshine" from Bill Withers, but that's about it. Luckily nothing else is copied, the vocals are even sang by somebody else.

Make sure to turn up the volume, because that rolling bassline is the sunshine of this track.

FORMAT B & PLEASUREKRAFT FT. CHRIS THE VOICE - Coltrane

























Killer party house track with a stomping bassline and such a wicked groove. 

I absolutely love those crazy trumpets. 

MARLON HOFFSTADT & DANSSON - Shake That


























Tough house with one of the most catchy house vocals I have recently heard. I've been yelling: "I'm on ma way to the liquor sto" for days now.

When Heidi played this track last week in Berlin everyone started to groove and bounce like crazy. Some female DJs are just so cool.
