The dopest selection of home tunes courtesy of the creators
1. Cameo – Candy
This is my go to feel good tune. No matter how i am feeling this tends to launch me back into a good mood within seconds.
2. Rockwell – Somebodys Watching Me
This was actually one of the first records i have ever adapted to as a child. The melody would constantly play in my head as a young boy. My mom bought me this record and would play it over and over for me.
3. Shannon – Let The Music Play
For those who know me know my love for 80s freestyle. This was the one that opened that door. For me this tune never gets old!
4. New Edition – If It isn’t Love
Was big into new edition and bobby brown. I still listen to this tune almost weekly when I’m doing my man grooming. Another feel good track for me.
5. Moby – Why does my heart feel so bad.
A brilliant piece of music in my eyes. Full of emotion and big bass. What else can my ears ask for?
6. Robert Owens – I’ll Be your Friend (Glamour Mix)
Another famous tune for me that opened my eyes to the world of house music. Its vocals like this that absolutely grab me, chew me and spit me out.
7. Armand van Helden – Donkey
This tunes was the one that got my nitty gritty booty influence going. My friends older brother used to pound this tune while we were playing road hockey. Shit got my blood bubbling!
8. Chemical Brothers – It Doesn’t Matter.
First Time I heard this. My eyes squinted, my teeth grinded, and my head bopped. This track is timeless and represents so many elements of electronic music that I love to portray in my music today. Loopy wormhole of chaos.
9. REO Speedwagon – Keep on Loving You
Another 80s tune i cherish. Loved everything from this band. Emotional feel good style.
10.Killary – Fair, Love & War
Hands down my favourite hip hop tune ever. Instant chills the second this song starts. The lyrics the melody are untouchable. It’s a work of art.
Carlo Lio – Runnin EP (No.19 Music)
Forever looking to expand and evolve, the trend setting No.19 Music is delighted to welcome acclaimed techno talent Carlo Lio to its ranks with a brilliant new EP, ‘Runnin’. Complete with three fine originals and a standout remix from label bosses Jonny White and Nitin, this is yet another landmark release from the esteemed outlet. Canadian Lio is a long time friend of No.19 label boss Jonny White, with the two of them having come up through Toronto’s club scene at the same time, sharing billing and even putting on events together. In the intervening years Lio has gone on to run his successful Rawthentic label and more recently his hotly tipped On Edge Society imprint. In addition he has seen his own productions drop on top labels like Dubfire’s SCI + TEC, Coyu’s Suara and Carl Cox’s Intec. This debut release for No.19 Music is definitely something special though, both for its musical merits and its personal importance to both label and artist. This powerful EP kicks off with ‘Runnin,’ a brilliantly off kilter affair with big drums and punchy bass that is certain to make a sizeable impact in the club. There is something of a Derrick Carter/Chicago boompty feel to the drums, and with the addition of some aloof female vocals and colourful synth stabs, the track truly goes off. Next up is the equally inventive ‘What They Say,’ a deeper, more heads down affair for an intimate basement session. Coming with a classic vocal sample that is sure to send crowds wild, it is moody and woozy and really sucks you deep into its intoxicating late night groove. Proving Lio has real range, ’Don’t Let Me Go’ is another style of track entirely: this one is loopy and freaky house with shuffling drums, nervy pads and paranoid vocals darting about in the mix. Playful yet menacing, it is unlike anything else out there right now. The standout remix of ‘What They Say’ comes from Jonny White & Nitin and finds both in fine form. It is a dubbed out, quickened take on the original that is warm, atmospheric and driving, and is a track that is sure to get whole clubs marching to its expertly stripped back groove.
Once again the No.19 Music label comes correct with a fine new signing and on point remix.
