Seth’s Picks of the Week 06-20-2009

06-17-pics1

I don’t think this post needs much of an introduction. These tracks are new to the site and caught my ear. The mix at the bottom of the page features the first seven tracks in the order listed. The omission of the last three tracks is not indicative of the quality (or lack thereof) of those tracks, but of my inability to work them into a cohesive mix with the others. It’s a mini-mix, roughly 15 minutes and featuring around 2 minutes of each song, but should give you an idea of what’s going on.

1. Blossom (Original Mix) Aes Dana – Nice and laid back. Lots of atmospheres and moods on this release. I had a hard time picking one track from it. A variety of great tunes to cue up, sit back and get lost in your favorite chair. ;)

2. Inspiring Cooperation (Lenny Barnes House Mix) 1st Class – This track just has a good feeling to it.

3. Cannibal’s Island (Original Mix) Sven Jozwiak – Good minimal track, but not so minimal that it sounds like a click track.

4. ALFAMA (Original Mix) Oliver Deutschmann – Oliver Deutschmann scores. Deep, spacious techno.

5. Driven (Original Mix) Leo Leal & Royal Dance – One of my top two of the bunch. The aptly named track really makes you want to move and then drops into a section that reminds me of Radiohead. Could you ask for more?

6. Tec 506 (Original Mix) Ilias Katelanos – I dare you to not like this track.

7. Illusions (Original Mix) Dockoff – This is the other of my top two from this bunch. I can imagine this one getting all kinds of action, and would love to hear it on a big system. KansaK is on it.

8. Sixes and Nines (Original Mix) Josiah Burke – I’m really not sure why I like this one, but I do.

9. Passin Planet (Original Mix) Kimmy Baxter – The melodic start to this track is misleading. Much grit follows.

10. Flowing feat Alex (Phrakture’s Liquid DnB Remix) Rosenfeld – This is the kind of drum and bass that I talked about in my post about LTJ Bukem. It has some space, cool vocal backgrounds, and isn’t overbearing.

Deep House Cat Show – Episode 52

Deep House Cat ShowA while back, I stumbled onto a nice podcast for deep house fans. It’s called the Deep House Cat Show, and it’s hosted by DJ philE out of Chicago. I sought this show out because I wanted to make my incoming music more diverse. I’m getting loads of techno and progressive house these days, and I wanted to sprinkle in some quality deep house.
.
I’ve posted episode 52 of the Deep House Cat Show here for your listening pleasure. It’s two hours long, and it actually has some tracks that I wouldn’t categorize as pure deep house, but it’s all good…click the play icon below and Enjoy ;)
