Hey Folks,
Well, with our music review of 2009 still receiving plenty of attention, we return to our regular format, focussing on two talents, but with both the compilations firmly pointing into 2010 with a real New Year’s feel.
First up is Alan K, who has been the focus of our attention before, but marked the turn of the New Year & the new decade with a superb compilation mix which we wanted to share with you as soon as we could. If you have sampled or enjoyed this man at work, you will realise his style is very upbeat, funky & heavenly house, which is infused with tech, latino & pumping beats, this genre combination working extremely well for the latter stage of Beyond’s main room, where this man is resident virtually week in week out. Alan also has the ability to combine two, sometimes three tracks into one, or by choosing tunes that have that amazing feel, making his sets truly magical. Recorded live at Area during Beyond’s massive NYD party, one of the resounding successes of the first day of 2010, in his own words “making it one of my most memorable sets that will live with me for a long time” this, we think, is his best work yet & it gets a resounding thumbs up from us. Therefore, we think it should be an essential addition to your collection, which you can download at http://djalank.podomatic.com/, where you can also find previous compilations of his. As for Alan’s 2010, well the future looks bright, with continuing residencies at Gravity, A.M. & (naturally) Beyond, but has plenty of international projects to focus on, working with brand “funky4love” which looks like taking him to Hong Kong & Singapore, as well as cementing his relationship with “Pushca”.
Our second choice goes to a man we covered in a special post last month, but has, unsurprisingly, attracted our attention again, Brent Nicholls returning to our music slot with his latest offering, “Back To the Rhythm”, which is a collection of strong progressive, percussive & latino style tracks, nearly all fresh off the shelf, some which look destined to be big dancefloor fillers as the year progresses. Recorded back in December, it does, nevertheless, have a real New Year feel to it, with some big hitting artists included, Richard Gray & Alex Gaudino are there, as are one of our favourite music makers, Soul Avengerz, who appear twice in Brent’s composition and, if you remember, topped our 2009 music choice with their amazing track “Drop The Bomb”, aiming high with their new one “Shame” which kicks the comp off. In choosing the records for this mix, Mr Nicholls explains that “each tune is underpinned by a sexy rhythm aimed at making your hips jack, groove and funk. Many of these tracks will become big hits over the coming winter, creating a preview of what is to come in 2010”. Never have we known an individual to spot the tunes that are due to make it big, way in advance of others & we have lost count of the picks he has made over the years that have done just that. So, what better reason to check out this latest offering from the Nicholls stable, which you can do by going to http://djbrentnicholls.com/music or by watching out for the download offers that Brent releases from time to time. 2010 looks like being another busy year for this multi talented man, with continuing residencies at Industri, Hard On! & Sex on the cards, not to mention a return to Lovechild and being part of the Italian invasion as Pervert Gold hits London. Away from the D.J’ing, Seenqueen will be keeping him very busy & his other passion, Reiki, looks set to form a bigger part of his life, so non-stop as usual.
Now, a quick mention goes to the track “I Want You” by Paul Harris feat. The Eurythmics, a take on the bands classic “Love Is A Stranger” which has been given some serious remix treatment by the team that is Steve Pitron & Max Sanna. This version is gaining popularity by the minute, the latest conquest being part the play list in Pete Tong’s show on Radio 1 & we also suspect it will be out on many a dancefloor this weekend, including Beyond! You can check out the full version at http://soundcloud.com/maxsanna/paul-harris-ft-eurythmics-i-want-you. It’s well worth a listen & looks like being a floor filler extra-ordinaire.
Well, that’s our choices up for this time, but with plenty of new music already on stream, we will be showcasing compilations from Mattias & Tony English, then Alessandro Londra & Gabriele Cutrano, as well as Hi-Fi Sean Dickson & The House Husbands. We will also be looking at remixing work from Danny Verde, Steven Redant & Pagano, all who are busy in the studio right now, as well as some thrilling news on a Guy Williams release.
So, with lots of exciting stuff to come, January looks set to be full of great music. But, if you can’t wait for some of it, you can always go to http://seenqueen.com/music which has a collection of a huge amount of mix compilations from your favourite scene D.J’s.
In the meantime, forget the cold weather, warm yourselves up with some fab music, whether live in the clubs of gAylist/land London, or right here with our choices, saying as we do “let the music play”.
