DHS - a Spotify adventure

DHS is all about music - specifically music chosen, on Spotify, by D, H & S.

The three of us choose five songs at a time, add them to a Spotify playlist, and explain why we've chosen them. Once we've done that six times each we close the list and open the next one. Occasionally we review what we've picked and add it to 'the best of' playlist and once in a blue moon we each select an entire album.

DHS7 begins... (S)

The saga continues - onto DHS7...

At the risk of one of my greatest ever understatements, it is high-time we had some Sigur Ros, so they kick things off. The Voice Of Africa follows it with one of my absolute 'balearic' favourites from the early days of house/rave/Ibiza/chill - treasured memories of hearing this in smoke filled early hours Manchester sessions and then falling off my chair outside Cafe Del Mar when I was there once and it was actually played just before sunset - was the first song I ever searched for on Spotify - they didn't have it and it only appeared a month or so ago.. Kings of Convenience next - pretty sure I picked another tune of theirs off this album on an earlier DHS (I did - just checked - there's another track on DHS4), and then it's a track by some outfit called OceanLab - this track is very familiar to me, despite being a very recent Spotify find, but I have no idea where from. And lastly a Suede track from a favourite 90's album of mine.

A very laid-back, quiet and, I hope, smooth selection.

So, like Pete Tong says, "... we continue..."
