1. Rive Gauche – Walkin (Simbad Remix) – BBE
I love the synth chords and crunchy bass line in Simbad’s remix.
2. Delivio Reavon, Jennifer Cooke, YAX.X – Society (Josh Butler Remix) – Freakin909
There’s a really nice swing to this groove!
3. JazzyFunk, Stephane Deschezeaux, James John – Funk You Up (Opolopo Remix) – Springbok Records
Pure 80’s vibes
4. Cristian Poow, Dessy Slavova – King Of My Castle (Javier Penna Remix) – Dbeatzion Records
An expected soulful remix of an old chart tune. Minor 9 chords all day long.
5. MOODS – A Beautiful Mind – Boogie Angst
This is what I’d describe as a ‘falling over’ beat. I love the slow attack of the synth chords on this one.
6. Los Charly’s Orchestra, Andre Espeut – Imagenes
It’s so nice to hear Latin Boogie/Disco coming out of London in 2016.
7. Saison – Come With Us – Large Music
Again, for me this is all about the chords.
8. Gus Pirelli, Andre Espeut – Meet In The Middle – GutterFunk
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Gus on and off over the last 10 years. What a talent!
9. Tom Conrad – The 12am Groove – Adaptation Music
Another great combo of silky chords and jacking beat.
10. Rapson – That’s Real – Friday Fox Recordings
I wanted that Minor 9’s chord feeling on this one but then added the live Clavinet which became the icing on the cake.
