GISBERTO - Miammi Glamm

Andrew Gallo

This is what you should call: DJ talent.

The track takes its time before it finally reveals itself (9:52 min.) and there's so much weirdness going on that you might feel a bit lost sometimes. 

But "Miammi Glamm" has an intriguing sound and a track with that length isn't really called a track. It's more like an adventure that lasts for 10 minutes.

A truly amazing release from Cinematique back in 2011.

BONAR BRADBERRY - 3two5 (Mario Basanov remix)

























Have you ever heard a song with such a fascinating and unique groove like this? It's very wavy and radiant.

Basanov's grooves are from another planet.

VAAL & TALE OF US - Concor (live version)


























This track has been driving me crazy since Tale Of Us dropped it in the Boiler Room. That was almost four months ago. Finally some unknown hero got his hands on a live version of "Concor" and uploaded it on Youtube for us to enjoy.

What a weird, mysterious and huge track this is. Certainly destroys any dance floor it gets played on.

MATHEW HERBERT - It's Only (DJ Koze remix)

























Deep, dark, groovy and with a distinctive, almost poetic, vocal. 

DJ Koze gives a new meaning to the word 'groove' with this remix. 

HOLDEN - Blackpool Late Eighties

























If you haven't yet listened to Holden's latest solo album The Inheritors, you should give it a listen. Many people will agree with me that it's one of the best albums of 2013. I wrote a review on the album in Dutch, which you can check out here if you're interested.

"Blackpool Late Eighties" intensifies by the minute, all these synths hypnotize you over and over again. The loop sounds so simple yet it grooves on for almost nine minutes and never seems to bore me. One of the many masterpieces on The Inheritors..
Fun fact of the day: Holden made this track in a hotel room completely off his tits from smoking weed. 




This is the only Soundcloud version there is and it's played at slightly higher beats per minute then the original. You might like it more, but I think it's slightly less hypnotizing then the Youtube version.



HENRIK SCHWARZ - Walk Music (instruments live version)


























What a magical introduction this track has, must be dazzling to hear it live.

The instruments, that vibe and Henrik's magical touch.

JOHNNY MIKES ft. MICHAEL B - Darkness Everyday

























Same lyrics as "Ain't No Sunshine" from Bill Withers, but that's about it. Luckily nothing else is copied, the vocals are even sang by somebody else.

Make sure to turn up the volume, because that rolling bassline is the sunshine of this track.

FORMAT B & PLEASUREKRAFT FT. CHRIS THE VOICE - Coltrane

























Killer party house track with a stomping bassline and such a wicked groove. 

I absolutely love those crazy trumpets. 

MARLON HOFFSTADT & DANSSON - Shake That


























Tough house with one of the most catchy house vocals I have recently heard. I've been yelling: "I'm on ma way to the liquor sto" for days now.

When Heidi played this track last week in Berlin everyone started to groove and bounce like crazy. Some female DJs are just so cool.

VINCENT LEIJEN - Rosette

Excellent photo evoking the spirit of the game. Victoria Ivanova

Never heard of Vincent Leijen before but this is one sweet dreamy melodic house track.

MIND AGAINST - Atlant

awe.

What a huge track by Mind Against. It reminds me of "Gotham" by Ten Walls and some of Tale of Us' tracks. 

Absolutely incredible. 

Would kill to hear this live.

JON HOPKINS - Light Through The Veins

gorg

Jon Hopkins never ceases to amaze me. He has such a wonderful and fascinating sound. 

"Light Through The Veins" is a nine minute beauty.

NINETOES - Finder



Gotta love the Carribean vibes coming from this one.

Summer all the way.

TRENTEMØLLER - Take Me Into Your Skin



The six year old "Take Me Into Your Skin" still sounds fresh and with its almost eight minutes it's far from boring. 

Especially the ending.

The Trentemøller hype is long gone and his new tracks are not special at all. But his old ones are great, they sound so far ahead of its time.

3 CHANNELS - I Can Understand



A nice and chill deep house track with a great piano riff alongside it.

HENRIK SCHWARZ - Sky

.

Henrik Schwarz with another beauty. 

He has so many great tracks but I rarely listen to them. That's because I just keep playing them until they bore me.

And tracks like "Sky" get alot of plays before they bore me.

RYAN CROSSON & TALE OF US - Angel

.

Such a perfect deep house track. 
The peaceful atmosphere and the way this track builds is just amazing.  

It has 128 BPM which is a bit high for regular deep house, but this isn't regular deep house. This is Ryan Crosson & Tale Of Us at its best.

DINKY - Falling Angel



An stunningly beautiful track released by Visionquest. 

Such an amazing vocal, don't you think?

JIMPSTER & SIMON JINADU - These Times (Dixon's Retouch)



One of the steamrollers played during Dixon & Âme's 4 hour Boiler Room session. 

Give the record some time, because it takes some time to build up.

The vocal on this track reminds me of Phil Collins in the Tarzan soundtrack.

DJ YELLOW & FLOWERS AND SEA CREATURES - No One Gets Left Behind (Konstantin Sibold remix)

























Another magnificent summer track, they just keep on coming. 

We all know Konstantin Sibold's "Madeleine" and that was really something. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the day to hear "Madeleine" get played at a party but hey, after listening to this incredible remix I don't care about "Madeleine" anymore.

Konstantin perfected the flow in "No One Gets Left Behind". I've listened to it a couple of times and didn't get left behind a single time. 

Everything about this remix is top class.
