Wildblood's Wonders May 09
Gscene Albums May 09
I’m writing this on a Tuesday morning. A Tuesday morning after a rather large Easter weekend. And you’d think this cranky day would require the volume down not up. But there’s only one way through the start of a new week and that’s new tunes. And luckily the downloads have been rolling in and the postman’s been busy. So here’s my May must haves.
Hed Kandi return to the compilation market with ‘The Mix Spring 2009’. Rammed with more sweet moments than a box of chocs, you’ll find layers of dancefloor smashes and underground delights including the fabulous Lisa Millet on Juan Kidd & Felix Baumgartner’s ‘Now You’re Gone’, Ali Payami’s ‘Dancin’ (Disco Lips Remix) and the wonderful Henrik B remix of Soulsearcher’s ‘Can’t Get Enough’. Hed’s up to the Kandi.
Pacha. One word. One reputation. And this month they are celebrating that reputation by spanning over 30 years on one compilation. ‘Pacha Classics’ on New State is a three disc affair reliving almost every glorious moment in house music’s history and if you don’t find a track on here to relive your love affair with house I’ll worry for you. Be it Blaze, Sanchez, Richard Grey or Silicone Soul with their immense ‘Right On’ (Oh lord, how good does that still sound!) there is a moment of Pacha bliss for everyone.
As for bliss of a “greasy, dirty” kind (his words not mine) I suggest you head Claude Vonstroke’s way and his mix for ‘Fabric 46’ on Fabric Records. Never has a girl been so swept off her feet and her neighbours so bassed out by this mix of womps, stomps and fun fuelled beats. Dirtybird indeed. And if you want it electronica and electrifying may I suggest ‘Kings Of Little Kingdom’, a selection from Gung-Ho! Recordings. It twists, it turns and it takes no prisoners. Just how we like our electronic soul, tech and house. Get in Gung Ho!
Finally my OMG album of the month. Kevin Saunderson returns and he’s rewriting the history books. ‘History Elevate’ on KMS Records & Fabric Recordings is simply genius. The Detroit techno legend does things to tunes including Cerrone’s ‘Supernature’, The Pet Shop Boys ‘Go West’ and Hercules & The Love Affair I’d not thought possible. Add his own production remixes including ‘Good Love’, ‘Rock To The Beat’ and ‘Bassline’ and you have a compilation that enhances any day. Especially a Tuesday. Enjoy.
