MUST LISTEN

Last week I was casually picking up some records for my Saturday night gig in the Mission District. I was feeling vocals and light piano chord driven melodies. Sure enough, as Karmic as record shopping is for me; I came across this wonderful record that I connected with the second the percussive intro layered into the sweet pulse of the keyboard. Its a distant song with a forgiving message entwined within. The percussions were conga led with bongo slaps for the highs, and maracas sneaking around the back. The bassline is gorgeous and simple, dark driven and unique. Definitely forward moving, this song isn't static and running in place-its definitely a breath of motivation for the dancefloor, but its motivation is for the dancers to close their eyes and smile and thank god for music like this. Its feel good and the melody is electric guitar generated, though it can be imagined as a type of keyboard due to the sudden chops and muting between notes. The elasticity of the notes are what makes this song cry, its definately semblant of a confused genius taking a simple walk in the park watching people ride thier bikes by and noticing all the latin street musicians.

ARTIST: Deep House (Soul)diers
Label:Limestone Recordings
Title: Summer Love EP
Song title described above: Pastor's guitar mix

The guy who rents out the EQP to the club came up to me on stage and assured me that the decks were on the way. So i started off with the CDs and in 10 minutes the decks were being plugged in, seamlessly the music never stopped. I had so much fun, and the floor was on fire by 1am. By 2am everyones hands were in the sky when i closed up with Blaze's "Be Yourself". Special thanks to Love Monk for their shhh shhh tracks i got to play. Clean!!!! My next stop is GOTICA next friday. There i will be playing along with Felipe Salmon. He and i will be doing interval sets all the way to 6am, so i better get some sleep the night before.
