One of the first tunes that got me into the new Balearic sound. I'm pretty sure it'll become a classic in a few years time. The extra female vocal just elevates it to a whole new level.
2. Depeche Mode - People are People [Mute]
This track was the theme tune for a kids TV programme called It'll Never Work, which I used to watch when I was younger. I loved it and only found out years later that it was actually Depeche Mode - genius!
3. Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere [Warner Bros Records]
I love Fleetwood Mac…this is such an incredibly feel good tune. Amazing vocal harmonies.
4. Mr. Flagio - Take a Chance [ZYX Records]
My all time favourite Italo Disco record.
5. Duran Duran - Girls on Film [EMI]
This was on an Erol Alkan mixmag CD years ago…it really opened my eyes/ears to the new wave electro sound around at the time. Great chorus to sing when you're drunk too.
6. VillA - Agneta [White Label]
Great re-edit of Wrap Your Arms Around Me by Abba's Agnetha Faltskog. Epic and cheesy. Brill.
7. Talking Heads - Naïve Melody [Sire Records Company]
Apparently this song came about when the members of Talking Heads decided to swap instruments for fun, and jam. Simple but catchy, one of my all time favourites.
8. Anoraak - Nightdrive With You [Endless Summer Recordings]
Great nighttime driving poppy electro from a current artist. I loved it so much I asked if I could remix it.
9. Chris Rea - Josephine (Version Longue) [Magnet]
Real warmth and emotion to this record…Balearic classic! This dubbed out extended version is heavenly.
10. Baltimora - Tarzan Boy [EMI]
A bit of 80's fun. This brings back memories of playing in Derry where a certain promoter has this as his ringtone…
