Daft Punk - Veridis Quo (Theatre Of Delays Remix)

How to transform a cinematic ballad into a sophisticated "very disco" track.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Stronger (Flying Horse Disco Bootleg)

Strength is the ability to do something that takes a huge amount of energy for a very limited period of time.
With  endurance  you'll  be  able  to  repeat  a less  intense effort many times without getting tired.
While  at  the  gym  you  can  control  which  one  you  need,  out,   in  the  real world, you never know whether  you'll  need  strength or endurance to complete everyday tasks.
This is why you should build your routine around both elements.
Don't just focus on one.
As far as I am concerned,  I would get to  the bottom of the matter  while listening to this surprising bootleg, sweating on the sofa.

Poolside - Take Me Home

Where is my home?
It’s  not  where I was born (that was in a hospital),  it’s not  where I grew up  (that  is my  past).   It  isn’t  where  my  mother  language  is  spoken  (that’s  my  family)   nor where my stuff is stored up (a couple of cellars here and there).
My home is not where my heart is  (inside my chest ??? Oh come on!)  and it’s not so sweet... but it’s so comfy!
So...
Where is my home? ;)

The Egg - Catch (Original Mix and The C90s Remix)

Have you ever received a tongue-twister as a declaration of love?
Poems and flowers are so outdated...
Maybe you needed something like that to realize that he/she is your good catch.     ;)

The XX - Angels (Theatre Of Delays Remix)

Der Himmel über Berlin - Wim Wenders  (1987)

Among all angels I prefer Berlin ones.
Because they wear heavy long coats firstly,  but also because they long to be human.
It  happens  that  a  heavenly  intangible  love  song reaches  the ears of this guy from Berlin,  the  song  is  very soft and beautiful itself,  but it wants to become human,  so the Berlin guy provides it a heartbeat and some tones of laugh and tears...

Here’s the end of the story:

biB - Sofa on the Beach

Here's the podcast of my gig on the beach. Enjoy! :)

Theatre Of Delays - Journey To The Sun

Things you won't need in that kind of trip:

1) passport
2) credit card
3) photo camera
4) toothbrush
5) return ticket

Travel light, meet yourself.

Bufi - Dogs & Demons

Warm  and  bouncy,  spacey  and  funky  specimen  of  nu-disco.
Loyal and easy like a dog,  naughty and mocking like a demon.
Mexican pedigree.

Montevideo - Horses (Zimmer Remix)

Horses can sleep while standing.
Horses remeber everything.
Horses are unpredictable,
creatures of habit and adorable.
Horses are like human beings:
if you take them by the head
they are prisoners and glad.

Mercury - Candlelight feat. Robert Owens

There are complicated days in the life of a girl...

Staygold - Backseat (Rimer London Remix)

At  the  start  you  are  caught  by ethereal synthetic jingles and sweet playful vocals, then you can appreciate the fresh and jaunty building up of the rhythm...  only when you got what lyrics say  you realize  that you are not on a tiny dance floor in heaven but in the middle of a very hot backseat situation.

Sona Vabos - Black Music Blues

Happy  hour  drums,  slightly  acid  bass,  tiny  little  moogy  sounds,  lowered  vocals saying   dada   words,   2  or  3   distorted   screams   here  and  there,   one  clarinet,  a cinematic arabian night explosion in the breakbeat.
To be served shaken (not stirred) on a cold dance floor.

Junior - I Don't Listen Much (Mercury Remix)

Pretty catchy tune that’s going viral on the net.
Inspired  lyrics  (yes,  love  is  so  uncertain...),  warm  and  well  edited  vocals  and  a house base that builds up a story.

XS - A New Era

There is a difference between emotions and feelings although they are often spoken of as being one and the same.
Emotions are intense but temporary.
Feelings are low-key, stable and sustained over time.
This track grows slowly, you don’t even notice it,  no twist,  no explosions of joy,  no drama, but still, in the end, it makes you feel something.



The  official video  is  a pop art tribute  to some of  the dance music icons  of  the last four decades, it worths a look.

Diamond Eyes - Beverly Hills (SIMØNE Voice Remix)

There's   always   a   blue   note  in  synthpop,   a  doubt,   a  wistful  spark,   a  kind  of languishing boredom.
Nothing so serious or deep, just a cold caress.
Even in Beverly Hills.

Clap Rules - Happynomony (Justin Robertson's The Deadstock 33s remix)

An   acid   disco  journey  galloping  into  nonsense,   whimsical,   hypnotic,   maybe  a little  disturbing,  but  still  catchy  and  very  dancey.

Ladyhawke - Sunday Drive (Villa and Gigamesh Remixes)

After  a  forthnight  of  subtropical  fear  and loathe on the sofa rain has finally come, bringing a kind of inebriating thrill. In this euphoric (as fugitive) mood I've chosen a track  a  bit  far  from  my  taste  (the  original  is  way  too  epic for me ;P) with two interesting remixes.
Villa  puts  together  a  sort  of  electronic  bolero with glacial synths drops and asian chorus inserts.
Gigamesh  mixes  baroquely  french  touch,  italo  and  cosmic elements with a hi-nrg attitude.

Mario & Vidis - Changed

These two gentlemen from Lithuania  changed  house music  to something new with their smooth, delicate and chilly touch.
Well-chosen   vocals,   warm   and   gloomy  at  the  same  time,  on  a  carpet  of  very polished but still powerful sound.
They already layed on this sofa with a slow feel.

Dat Politics - Melt down

Lately it has been devilishly hot here on the sofa,  so  much that  it's  even   difficult   to move  or  think,   this   situation won't change that  soon,   so  the challenge  is just accept  it and survive.
To  do  that  I  think  I'll  need  something  chilly and  sweet.
I' ve   already   hosted   Dat Politics   on   my   sofa,   in   that occasion   they   brought   a   frozen gift   and here they are again, with the  right words and the right mood at the right time.
Yummi! ;P
