March 2013 Light n’ Easy

Mixed on the fly at 30,000 ft on CX 134 bound for Hong Kong.

As the title alludes, easy listening Deep and Soulful set.

If I think about it, Light n’ Easy is my first real 2013 mix. I had let accumulated 26 hours of recently purchased tunes on my hard drive and the task of sieving through the sheer mass was daunting.

With 8 and half hours spare flying to HK, I knew I had a chance to listen, categorize, rate, level all those tunes.. From there it was just a short step to open Traktor and let the set flow wherever the mood and tunes would take me..

Done on the fly, it is patchy but the result has unity and its own flavour. It is Light n’Easy..

Random Soul, Australian talent, is heavily promoted and they fully deserve the focus. There are a couple of older tracks offered by DJ Remixers and the set fluctuates from happy, beachy house to deeper soulful tunes.

Highlights:

“Only You” by Alvarez & Marck Jamz, I am keeping the best remix of this release for a later date but great tune well worth buying.

“Mysterious.”. Random Soul AND Richard Earnshaw.. nothing more to say.

“Tell Me Now” by The Layabouts feat. Portia Monique.. Portia has and amazing voice and the Layabouts do what they always do pure perfection.

“I Feel” by Logistix pres. Deon Nathan, a soulful gem, which other better remix I could not use because .. I just could not find the beat and refused to auto synch it in order to preserve the integrity of the tune for another set.

From “Have Mercy” to “Only Love” and “What’s Going On” we are at the congruence of Classic and Modern Soulful House.

As for “Someone Like You”, one of the best release of 2012, I just had to give you the pleasure of enjoying the very recently released  tFull Vocal Mix..

Two little gems offered by DJs.. “Every Breath You Take” and the “Missing/Dreams” mash-up.. very clever. Full respect and gratitude to the Woz and Jask

Enjoy and be kind, this was really done on the fly and uploaded a few hours after.

Next one.. we a bit of luck I will continue the Nocturnes Serie
