daraja 7.1

As suggested by Michel de Hey‘s Podcast (can’t remember if it was #55 or #54), I tried the new studio album by Mark Broom, called ‘Acid house‘ (Saved records, UK). From the moment it hit my decks, I was blown away by the fresh, funky tech house sounds (I know, the album title is somewhat misleading, in a way). The album consists out of 15 unmixed tracks, and – as a bonus – a 16th mixed track, containing all the previous tracks (in a different order). Really one of my favourite releases of this fall. A must have!

Also  heard this track whilst listening to Vincenzo’s DJ set at Blue, Miami (Sept 10th). This is the second track I noticed, which has a really good vibe. I had never heard from Lovebirds before, but apparently he has quite some EPs out already. Really love the original mix of ‘Gentle‘ (Teardrop Recordings).  This EP also features two other tracks plus a remix of Ian Pooley. It’s worth while to check out!

An artist I’d never heard from before, Proff, until Bart van Wissen made a remix from his new EP called ‘Breathe‘ (Brown Eyed Boyz Records, France). Very good track. Also the original mix is worth listening. Finally there are two more remixes by Dave Storm and Lanui, which I both do not like as much as the BvW remix.

After setting the scene alight with numerous killer singles, Israeli producer Guy J released his hotly anticipated full-length artist album ‘Esperanza‘ on Bedrock Records in last quarter of 2008, to universal critical acclaim, and has been touring ever since around the globe. Now he returns to Bedrock in 2009 with yet another killer single, ‘Lamur‘, complete with a stunning remix from one of Spain’s upcoming stars, Henry Saiz.
