Venus – HOUNDTRACK, Too Much

12 December 2018

I’m laughing ‘cos I’m going back through the tracks over the last few weeks and the energy level has been rising slowly but surely – I guess a reflection of just how much external input I need to keep going. Oh – not that it’s that dramatic – it’s just that as we slide into the end of the year I find that I’m pretty knackered and need more energetic music to keep me in the zone…

It’s Enough – Lenny Kravitz

12 December 2018

“I just thought somehow things would get better…”  Sigh. Unfortunately, according to rocker Lenny Kravitz, things haven’t gotten better.  What is the Grammy-winner referring to? The utterly flawed state of the world – violence, political corruption, and social issues among a host of other problems…

Something About You – Anthony David

Wintersong – Sarah McLachlan

12 December 2018

The holidays can be a time for wonder, joy, rebirth and all that wonderful shit. But they can also seem dark, depressing, and a reminder of everything we feel we’re missing. For Sarah McLachlan, it’s both, as she sings of her lost love, and their imaginary Christmas day together…

Another Shooter – Rene Trossman

12 December 2018

The Chicago Tribune website has a page dedicated to a weekly running total of shooting victims, both fatal and non-fatal, in the city. That such a total is needed is enough to tell you that Chicago has a very serious problem with gun crime. In 2017, there were a total of 3,386 victims of shootings – on average, more than nine every day…

Strong Look (Codec Remix) – Jett

So deep, so sexy, so cool. That happens to be everything that this week’s track embodies as we dance our way into the curation with “Strong Look” by Jett as remixed by Codec…

Bailando – Albert Pla

11 December 2018

Quevedo decía que siempre había de conservarse el temor, mas jamás debía mostrarse.

Summertime – Angelique Kidjo

11 December 2018

OK I know there’s a myriad of covers of this Gershwin classic, and I already have featured Deep Dive’s version of it on this collection, but this puts a West African twist on the same song, and is beautifully different with its acapella style…

Dear Life – Happy Walters

11 December 2018

The Sample alone on this track got me open lol. So today’s submission comes from rapper Happy Walters where he raps about his current situation but is on the road to stardom and greatness with help from his loyal supporters that always support his performances but showing up to every event…

Money – Illicit Ghost

11 December 2018

Dark Side Of The Moon. If that album hasn’t become a part of your life, has never reconciled you to your circumstances, brought harmony to your introspection, or just made you a better person, then you’ve probably been living in a parallel universe this last forty odd years or so…

Rave Alert – Justin Mylo, SWACQ

11 December 2018

Hoo boy, I’ve been excited about this track ever since the mix-cut first materialised on Hardwell on Air. To fully understand why, let’s journey back (pretend the screen’s gone all wavy like we’re doing a flashback… Go on, it’s fun! )…
