House is a Journey

2011 NY7 30/4

Listen

Description

NY7 4/30 ... Title is a little brain teaser ... Work it out.

I was working on what could be on the menu for New Year's and whipped this one off in no time. Semi-live, straight out of Traktor with no re-editing or re-mastering whatsoever.. So compared with the 50+ versions I normally do, this is a tad raw and unpolished.

Funky tunes, upbeat, catchy French and Balearic Trance & House..

Being doubtful this trial for a New Year set will fit the crowd on the day, though I will use some of it, I am uploading it for the younger crowd (hint, hint for the title).

It's a fun, sometimes trancy, sometimes housy, sometimes trousy set with a few new tunes and a lot of Xtian's edits and retake on old favourites of ours.

Playlist ( I will put all details later, this is just by memory)


  1. Intro System Check

  2. Far l'Amore Medley (Roul & Doors & Franky Rizardo Alternative Remix) [Xtian Edit]. Bob Sinclar feat. Rafaella Cara

  3. Rain (The Piano Tribal Progressive Anthem Mix).

  4. Everytime You Need Me 2011 (Skjg Project Remix) {Xtian Extended Remix]. Fragma

  5. Toca's Miracle (Tom Novy & Jashari Deepdown Mix). Fragma

  6. How Would You Feel (Peter Rauhofer ReConstruction Mix)

  7. Pressure (Calvin West Extended Remix) [Xtian Edit] - Alex Kenji & Starkillers feat. Nadia Ali

  8. SOS (Tujamo Remix). Polina Griffith & Ralph Good

  9. Lady (DJ Falk Remix). Richard Grey

  10. Strings of Life Medley (Original vs Supernova vs Martijn Van Helden Remix) [Xtian NYC Edit]. Jerome Syndenham, Supernova, Martinn Van Helden

  11. Freed from Desire. Steve Forest


Highlights: well...my kids like "Far l'Amore" typical French house from Bob Sinclar and I love the piano crescendos of "Rain" (that I will use on NY). Always fun to use new takes on "Everytime You Need Me " and Toca's Miracle from Fragma.

SOS is maybe the tune I prefer as I had forgotten it at the bottom of the crate. "Lady" a 2011 remix of the old french house anthem.

I went completely overlength with the "Strings of Life" edit but once it is cut down to an acceptable length, it will work its magic.. "Freed From Desire", well another party anthem.. As you can see, we are not breaking any grounds here.

Finishing the "uber-structure" of the New Year set tonight, with a little bit of this one  sprinkled throughout but targeted to a more discerning (read mature) crowd!!

See you in the New Year. Happy 2012!
