BEARLY SESSION #2 - DENNIS WILLIAMS

























Dennis Williams was high on my list to do one of the BEARLY SESSIONS because I love watching him play live and listening to his sets at home. I believe that because Dennis is a little older then most DJs, his taste in music is more refined. When you talk to Dennis about music you clearly hear that he's got a huge passion for it which transfers to his sets. The tracks he picks have something special, but sometimes you have to listen closely to be able to hear it. Lucky for Dennis, I love to listen a little more closely. 

Take the track with the African vocal at 17:45 mins called Adesse - Baayi for example. It's incredibly deep and soulful and is one of the highlights in the entire podcast for me. 

The other highlight (read: jaw dropping moment) was Mano Le Tough - Inside Animal Minds. Because it's played this late into the set it feels like a reward just listening to it. It's played after 54 minutes and I rewinded the set three times just to listen to it again. I just couldn't figure out the melody, it's insanely powerful, sinister and unpredictable. 

Dennis' closing track, Rebelski - The Rift Valley (Luciano remix), is such a sunny and joyful tracks, the vocal is incredibly powerful and enchanting. The perfect pick to close a two hour musical journey with. It made me realise that I had so much fun listening to this podcast that I can't even imagine how much fun Dennis must have had while making it.
