Mike Francis – Time’s Out Of Time
This is a fave Balearic tune, that never really got the attention it deserves. Mike Francis co-wrote Ami Stewart’s soul classic “Friends” and I bought this back in the day from the legendary Euro / Italo disco mecca in Soho – TRAX records, tipped to me by their equally legendary and all-knowing Balearic oracle : Oscar.
Japan – Television
This one always sounds great at an afters when things are a little wobbly wobbly, lol. A wonderful early Japan cut that is very LCD Soundsystem-esq.
Malcom McLaren – Obatala
Dreamy 6am business from the meeting of two genius minds – Malcom MCLaren and Trevor Horn.
Bruce Cockburn – Water Walker
Balearic gold….from the soundtrack to a cult documentary about Canoeing – yes really!
Biddu Orchestra – Humanity
A big after-hours record from a decade immersed in the Buckinghamshire / Berkshire goes Balearic world. Sundays at Queens…. and then onto random flats…
William Orbit – Feel Like Jumping
1987 steppas delight from Mr Orbit – never tire of this one, and a blueprint for many chugging grooves to follow in 88-90.
Art Of Noise – Art Love – Remixed By Youth
Moments in Love given the throw-everything-in-sampler treatment by super-producer YOUTH.
Tooth Faeries – Dust And Ashes – Crooked Ashes
Mark Brydon from Moloko, and Crooked Man / Dj Parrot – Probably my fave house track of the last 10 years. Deep as…
America – Tin Man
This always gets a play at any back-to-mine – SONIC PERFECTION.
Dan ‘The Drum’ Carmy Love ft Darren Morris – Hurt So Bad (Leo Zero ‘Keep Deep’ Vocal Remix)
I hate to be that guy, lol! But you won’t avoid my latest studio work being played at any ZERO afters… and that usually turns into a late night recording session itself. This is the latest remix from 20+ years in love with remixing and re-editing anything and everything.
Dan ‘The Drum’ Carmy Love ft Darren Morris – Hurt So Bad (Leo Zero ‘Keep Deep’ Vocal Remix) is out now on F*CLR.
