RAE over de tracks op deze mix cd:
- 01. Ceballos & DJ Chus - Afrika (Coyu 10 Years Later Remix) / Kings Of Tomorrow featuring Rae - Can't Stop (Accapella)
It's great to hear the 'Afrika' hooks again so I wanted to start the journey with a slice of the past and where it began for me with
Defected, which is of course 'Can't Stop'.
- 02. Tensnake - Coma Cat (Round Table Knights Remix)'
Love the old school vibe of the original but this mix works perfectly in my sets, the drop kills it every time.
- 03. Jose Nunez featuring Shawnee Taylor - Yesterday (Original Mix)
As I sing live in my sets I don't play so many tracks with female vocals but this one has a very cool vibe and Shawnee's vocals do their thing in a subtle & smooth way.
- 04. Super Flu - Bude Baun
A good techy groove keeping things moving along, a bit of a cheeky bounce, always good to get lost at some points through the journey!
- 05. David Penn & Rober Gaez - Sunshine People (Brown Sugar & Kid Shakers Remix)
A big Ibiza track this year, puts a
smile on your face and this mix is a great peak timer for me.
- 06. Louie Vega & Jay - Sinister / Sealee starring Julie McKnight - Diamond Life (Daddy's Groove Magic Island Rework)
One of the finest vocals around. Daddy's Groove working some serious magic here, making this
house classic current and anthemic. Perfect.
- 07. Michael Gray & Danism featuring Rae - You Will Remember (Original Mix)
My first collaboration with these guys - a great combo.
Michael Gray, a producer with huge success, known for his slick and accessible sound and the Danism boys; fresh and innovative. And me of course adding my "hard done diva" lyrics and vocals to the mix, the result is an infectious sing along
house groover.
- 08. Sergio Flores featuring Joy Malcolm - Give It Back (Big Acid Mix)
All the elements required to make a vocal track stand out in
today's scene. A sure fire hit and getting a great response every time I play it.
- 09. Sandy Rivera & Rae - Hide U (Sandy Rivera's Club Mix)
Our revisit of this huge anthem from back in the day. It got me hooked when I first heard it and I am really happy to be bringing it back.
- 10. Daniel Bovie & Roy Rox vs Ricky Rivaro featuring Nelson - My Destiny (East & Young Remix)
I like Bovie & Rox for the more housey tip, this mix is refreshingly different and atmospheric and works well in its place.
- 11. Deux - Sun Rising Up (Vocal Mix)
This takes me back to some really great moments when I started playing out on the London scene. It hooks me in right from the start and the vocal gets under my skin, i just loose myself every time i hear it. Understated but so special.
- 12. Alex Font - Angola (Prok & Fitch Remix)
Got to be a Prok & Fitch mix in there, accessible, bouncy, fresh. Love it.
- 13. Butch - XTC (Riva Starr Cut)
Taking me back to the old school here with a classic sample driven by Riva's seamless techy beats.
- 14. DJ Gregory & Gregor Salto featuring Dama Pancha & DJ Mankila - Vem Rebola (Oh Beat)
A section one of my favourite
Defected tracks of the year from these seriously talented producers.
- 15. G Club Presents Banda Sonora - Guitarra G (G Club Original Mix)
This takes me back to Ibiza; Bora Bora, sun shining, happy people and this tune, the guitars, the Balearic vibe. That's
house music; a feeling.
- Sandy Rivera & Andy Daniell - Whatever (Accapella)
I chose this sample because I don't like to label my sound, My music is fused creatively, sometimes spiritually...Not much electro but...WHATEVER...
