The multi-million streaming Swedish producers have dug deep for their favourite soul-infused tracks to listen to at the after party, to mark the release of their rework one of their favourite ever tracks, The Flirtations ‘Nothing But A Heartache’ (1968).
Marlena Shaw – California Soul
Very underrated classic. It’s so epic.
Booker T. & M.G’s – Green Onions
Best Organ track ever maybe? It makes you feel like you’re in a Tarantino-movie.
The Spinners – I’ll Be Around
This track has hypnotic chords and really emotive strings.
Billy Ocean – Love Really Hurts Without You
Tobtok: This is one of my absolute favourite tracks ever, I’m obsessed with the Key change in the end.
The Emotions – Best Of My Love
This is just such a happy and uplifting song and I feel like everyone wants to move their hips to this bop.
Steely Dan – Peg
Oliver: This one may not be the most “souly” track out there, but it reminds me of my dad alot. When the whole family used to go to the beach in the summer and this got played in the car. Reminds me of good times and has given me a lot of inspiration over the years.
Prince – I Wanna Be Your Lover
Prince is like a god to our friend Freddi. The amount of times we’ve heard this track should make us want to vomit, but it’s still one of our favs.
Bill Withers – Lovely Day
This is a track everyone has heard some time in their life. Such a fantastic groove and track.
Diana Ross – Upside Down
A track with instant energy from start to finish, impossible to dislike.
Bobby Womack – Across 110th Street
This one has every ingredient, groovy, beautiful vocals, good chord progression and an epic chorus. What’s not to like?
