domterrace.com - SofT Week 051: Back to the Basics
Ever since SofT Week 028, I changed the format of this program by doing weekly DJ mixes with myself speaking quirky remarks about the tunes and other nonsense. It’s been tons of fun and I hope you’ve enjoyed those mixes as much as I did making them. If you’ve read this blog more than a couple times, you can probably tell I’m extremely passionate about this odd human phenomenon called music.
My intention with this blog and the reason that you come here is to enjoy exceptional music. Sometimes it’s new, sometimes it’s classic, other times it might be crazy-weird, and I’m sure there have been times when you thought it was just plain bad (we try to avoid that at all costs). I have many ideas that I hope to develop and deliver to you, the reader. But before all that can happen, I need to learn more about the web, graphic design, and continue to develop world-class production techniques.
In trying to keep this brief, I want you to know that SofT Week will continue as it once was with posts of individual tracks in a truer Songs of The Week approach. This will free up immense time to bring you a quality experience in other areas. The full intent will be to return to the mix show approach sometime down the road. And before we get to the music, I want to thank you for tuning in with me every week. Without you, this whole thing is meaningless.
Ok, enough with the sappy talk. Here are some rocking tunes. :)
Tracklist
Roman Salzger - Caroline (Main Mix)
Mr. Salzger brings a main room dancefloor slayer. The breakdown at 1m49s is super unexpected and very refreshing. The main groove that follows is nothing short of HUGE!
Style of Eye - Whizkid (Larry Fives Whiz Bang Pop Mix)
This mix is damn funk! Ultra flat kick with a smooth bassline and occasional vocoder make this a sweet number to drop right as things start to pick up in the dj set.
Noze - Remember Love
This frenchy duo have created one of the catchiest house choruses I’ve heard in a good, long while. This is one of those songs that has mass appeal and while not your standard club track could really send people for a loop if set up properly on the dancefloor. MUST HEAR!
Tiga and Zyntherius - Sunglasses at Night (Alter Ego Remix)
The 800 pound gorilla in the room at the moment, Tiga, brings us a quirky cover of Sunglasses at Night, the super 80s hit originally by Corey Hart. Up here we have the Alter Ego remix, which is utter space disco house.
L Kubic - Voyager
Driving, stabby, tech house. Nice.
