Since it’s disrespectful to party in public suddenly in some parts of the country tonight, I’m sure many of you will be doing or going to nice house parties to enjoy the long weekend with friends and loved ones.
If you‘re hardcore, you’ll probably have a lineup ready for those parties. But, sometimes it’s just a spontaneous aux-cord kinda thing, so, here are some nice, fresh tracks I’ve wasted most of my Friday finding.
1- A Ruede Hagelstein Remix
I was fortunate enough to meet Ruede Hagelstein last time he was at The Grand Factory in Beirut. He was honestly one of the nicest people to have an informed discussion about current affairs and world politics with. When it’s time to dance though, that stops and a track like the one below drops. I loved this remix of Anton Dhouran’s Osmekha. Goosebump-inducing moments throughout, with a velvety warm melancholic sound throughout. Loved.
2- Some Lucy Techno
You probably guessed most of my suggestions will be on the Techno spectrum. This is a fresh Lucy original, and the dubby yumminess in this track was a pleasure to listen to.
3- Max Cooper ladies and gents…
What I love most about Max Cooper is how many layers he can beautifully build up and constantly transform. The dreaminess and progginess of this track is perfect, with just enough percussions when you absolutely need them. Always a blast discovering new Max Cooper stuff!
4- Konchord and Traumwelt
This Berlin-Munich collab just sounds beautiful. Solid track.
5- Luca Bacchetti Claps
It’s hard to get the clap just right. Harder still to make it the most interesting element in a track, but Luca Bacchetti always seems to get it right. Loved this stripped-down dub version of Playa Sunrise.
6- Patrice Baumel Remixes Max Cooper. Yes Please.
I just drooled over Max Cooper tracks above, now imagine that being remixed by Patrice Baumel.
7- Some Scuba
This isn’t exactly fresh, but not sure why I’ve been listening to it again a lot this week. Enjoy!
