2013 May "En Mai fais ce qu'il te plaît!"

French Proverb which literally means " In May do what pleases you".. 

Today is my birthday and I am stuck at home with a massive head cold.. Thought I would give myself a little present and put together a set JUST FOR ME... 

A collection of deep, cookie, eclectic tunes, which I would hate to forget and lose in the dark recesses of my hard drive because they do not fit the strict format of Deep, Soulful, Progressive of this podcast.

So here it is, jams I like, sounds I want to be able to access in the distant future, tracks that may not have the vocal hooks I love, yet trigger emotions at a complete different level.

If you do not want to indure a bit of tech, a bit of deep, a bit of NY style, a bit of garage, a bit of acid, a bit of jackin' do not bother with the set and wait for the next one..

I am not inferring that those tunes are "better", just that on my birthday I may do what pleases .. ME..

Highlights:

Not sure Highlights is going to cut it but a better option is to comment as to why I included a specific track:

“Where Did You Go” Shea and Marcel Atjazz, need I say more.. Lovelly little intro track.

“On To You”. Golf Clap, is “very hot right now ;)” deep, great work on the beats and the production yet melodic.

“NY 2 UK”.. Do I love the undergroove? Yes add some accapellas and everyone who knows me, gets the idea.. Very current, real Deep, edgy, funky…

“I Saw Yo Girl” I always have had a thing for Hip/Hop.. Edgy track with an acid tinge..

“Pieces” Flashmob is becoming bigger by the day.. and I love the acapella with the brit accent.. Another edgy track, which may really push your limits.

“New York Style” Jerk House Connection French and really good.. I love the NY feel, I love the reggae vocals.. and it stays melodic.

“Be Right There”.. Current, modern, hatched beats had to included a bit of Jackin’ House in this set..

“All I Have Is Love” continuing the darker NY feel with a greek remixer Elias Tzikas.

“Let It Go” Deep Tech House at its very best.. I wanted a wake up track with a nice groove at this moment in the set.. This came up..

“What you need” now in the back part of the set, introducing a bit a bit of funk and sugar..

“Another Way” another Golf Clap track with Grant Nelson’s giving it a UK feel.. If you have stayed with me so far, you are starting to have fun!!

“My Urban Soul”.. Roland Clark, Urban Soul.. Bringing you down but how can I resist…

“The Whistle Song” Frankie Knuckles seminal classic gets the Supernova remix treatment. I love it and perfect to get ready to exit the set..

“I Feel (Samson Lewis Remix)” I absolutely love this track, deep, groovy funky and I simply had to give anyone who actually stayed with me on this set a big dollup of sugar at the end..

Next one will be less introspective I promise..

Happy Birthday to Me
