Rightside (Luzio Marinelli) brings over two decades of experience and craftsmanship to the collaboration. Known for his deep-rooted influence in soulful and deep house, he has delivered timeless productions via respected imprints like King Street Sounds, Quantize Recordings, IRMA Records, and Solid Ground. As his new collaboration with Italian producer, Mark Di Meo, ‘Feel Alive’, comes out on Electronic Nature this week, DMCWorld goes Back To Mine with Rightside.
Pink Floyd – Time
This track says in 20 lines what an entire encyclopedia couldn’t capture. It’s an existential anthem that reminds me of my ongoing struggle with time, and how easy it is to let the days slip by unnoticed.
John Mayer – Who Says
I discovered this track through Michael Brauer (who mixed it) during a workshop in France. It’s a quiet manifesto of personal freedom. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded that taking time for yourself isn’t a luxury. It’s essential.
Eloise – Subside
I started listening to Eloise when she was still unknown, but this artist filled (at least partly) the space Amy Winehouse left in my life. I love how she blends soul, R&B, and jazz with such natural elegance.
Lisa Shaw – Let It Ride (Jimpster Remix)
This song has a special place in my heart because the first time I heard Lisa Shaw’s voice and style, I instantly fell in love. Around ten years later, I had the chance to work on a remix of her track ‘Magic’ with Mark Di Meo. A true personal milestone.
Quincy Jones, James Moody, Brian McKnight, Take 6, Rachelle Ferrell – Moody’s Mood For Love
Pure sensory pleasure. It makes me want to slow everything down and savor every detail. A textbook example of timeless soul.
Blue Six – I’ve Given Enough
I’ve always had a deep love for Blue Six’s sound — to me, it still feels truly unique. Impeccable class, obsessive attention to detail, and Aya’s voice fits their atmosphere like a glove.
Stevie Wonder – I Wish
A burst of groove that’s been my phone ringtone for the past ten years. Every time it rings, I’m transported back to when I was studying piano and dreaming of playing the Wurli like Stevie.
Sade – Kiss Of Life
Sade has this ability to turn every note into a caress. There’s something deeply peaceful about this song. It puts me in a state of sweet suspension, like time itself has paused.
David Bendeth – Feel The Real
This track gives me a natural boost. The kind that makes you start moving without realizing it. It’s a constant on all my playlists for evenings with friends.
Brian McKnight – Come Back To Me
Pure classic soul. I’ve always been drawn to its warm vibe and beautiful melody. After playing it on repeat for years, I eventually turned that love into a soulful house cover, released back in 2014.
