After hours grooving…
Led Zepplin – Ramble On [1969]
One of my favourite tracks ever. For me it’s a Tolkein-esque journey with music.
Outkast – Liberation [1998]
Love this track. Top class musicians, amazing vocalists, properly recorded. A lot of effort went into making this record.
Brothers Johnson – Stomp! [1980]
Great disco track with a huge sound.
Tribe Called Quest – Electric Relaxation [1993]
Classic, love this!
Radiohead – Paranoid Android [1997]
This got destroyed at my house, music from another dimension.
Trentemoller – Miss You [2006]
Brilliant piece of electronic music. Very chill with dark undertones.
Wookie – Scrappy [2000]
First heard this on pirate radio, way back, loved it then, love it still!
AME – REJ (original mix) [2006]
Great tension and atmosphere, an epic journey track!
Fever Ray – When I Grow Up [2009]
Strange and wonderful. Earthy synths and eery dissonance. Dark middle-earth kind of vibe.
Maya Jane Coles – Something In The Air (Bonobo Remix) [2014]
Wicked track, one of my current faves. Had to put it in 🙂
Miles Wyde’s ‘One Life’ (SoSure)
Miles Wyde is a budding young producer coming out of the UK capital, London, armed with an infectious style of house music that oozes warmth, soul and an underlying harmonious feel. Here we see Miles deliver his inaugural release via the blossoming SoSure Music imprint following a run of free downloads offered up via the artist’s Soundcloud page. SoSure Music has recently seen support from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, Mark Farina, Larry Heard and Charles Webster since its launch, making the imprint the perfect fit for Wyde’s emotive house sound.
Kicking the release off is the ‘Club Mix’ of ‘One Life’, which sees Miles Wyde fuse dreamy arpeggios and a chuggy square wave bass hook with low-slung crunchy rhythms and bright piano progressions. Alo Lee’s pensive vocal styling’s then add a further charm and character the composition, resulting in a sun- drenched house cut to open the package.
Following is a remix of ‘One Life’ from Rucks, who previously released his ‘Find Someone’ EP on the SoSure label in 2014. On this interpretation Rucks turns in his signature rugged house sound which provides a rawer, more underground take on the original, bringing dusty drum sounds, tension building pads and a stabbing bass sequence to the forefront, while subtle dub echoes flutter away in the depths of the record adding a further movement to things.
Then to close the package Wyde offers up a ‘Radio Edit’ of ‘One Life’ doing exactly as the name would suggest and pulling back the composition to a reduced timeframe with the focus laid on the focal points of the original cut.
Miles Wyde’s ‘One Life’ is out on SoSure Music 19th January 2014.
