My 6 Gems:
Moff & Tarkin
Two Hands
Phrik
The Moodymann of Iceland, I dont really know much about Two Hand except they seem funny and their music sounds great. Something funny about singing sexy in Iceland, they lyrics translate loosely to, "don't be a creep, stop watching, be freak and come closer."
Girogia Morandi
Children Of The Sky (Instrumental)
I remember I heard this once on the dancefloor like years ago, think it was Viennese Dj Heap that was playing, when that guitar came in for the first time I went nuts. This is a cover of Figli Delle Stelle which is featured in the second season of White Lotus. So while watching white lotus I got to experience that feeling again. I raised my hands and closed my eyes.
Susana Estrada
Hagamoslo Juntos
I once played B2B with Baldo in Barcelona, I'm pretty sure he played this but I forgot to ask about ID Years later this popped up while running, I had been mumbling this song for years without knowing what it was so it felt great to get an id. Something incredibly sexy about the guitar and the vocals.
Umberto Rosario Balsamo
Ma...avvicinarci
My friend Luca played this for me at some party, said it had been the closing track of some dj the week earlier. I think about how great that moment on the dancefloor must have been. The way the strings build up at the end of the song always make me think about this sentence from Midnight in Paris "That's what the present is. It's a little unsatisfying because life is unsatisfying." The strings are so beautiful and and feel like they can go to infinity but then they platau and leave me wanting more, little unsatisfying because life is unsatisfying.
Scissorwork
A Hundred Years
I dont think Scissorwork is still making music at least not under that name. Thats a shame since they make great music. A hundred years have this great hook that you could just listen to forever or at least a hundred years.
Janet Jackson
Go Deep (Masters At Work Vocal Deep Disco Dub)
My friend Viktor played this for me while we were working on his bikeshop. This is like a signature MaW track and with the vocals from Janet what can go wrong? Also shout out to the Ewok for playing this the other day!
