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 part 8 (H)

Simone - how many house records has this vocal spawned?! Great track.
Bacharach - not really a fan but appreciate the music.
MARRS - absolute tune. Another childhood fave.
Lupe - not into this half as much as the two big tracks off his first LP... it's not a bad tune.
Vince D - Don't worry Duff, you're in safe hands here! Love it! You've actually stolen my thunder on one of my future tracks I had down as a potential entry....but not quite!

REO - pretty large - pretty cheesy! Think it's a grower..
Hornsby - proper, proper tune - so uplifting. Great record.
Boomtown Rats - think I agree; best thing they released... by a country mile.
Joe Jackson - it's a nice overall vibe but not sure I get it...maybe it's cos it needs to be heard within the rest of the live set.
UB40 - tune. Loved the 808 state remix too (it's on my list of potentials!)... in fact that was one of the first ever records I bought for myself... saved up my pocketmoney for it, green cover with bold white writing - memory like a steel trap!

Here's my next lot:
I've been on back on a bit of a downtempo mode as of late which is hardly surprising...

Nacho Sotomayor - To Dawn Part II
just a lush track - lovely piano and chilled beats.
Clark - Night Knuckles
Have loved WARP stuff since they kicked off really - love the quirky melody, properly intriguing little tune.

THE NOSAJ THING SUITE:
Never done this before, but such is my love for this guy's tunes (a recent discovery for me) and the amount I've been listening to them lately, I had to share....all short but sweet, hope you enjoy half as much as I have:

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Heaven Can Wait (Nosaj Thing remix)
Superb vocal - kooky, melancholic melody.

The xx - Islands (Nosaj Thing remix)
ABSOLUTE TUNE. How good is the ending.... another tune that needs to be longer....Sully watch your email inbox...think you know what's coming next!

Nosaj Thing - Light #1
The tune that introduced me to his work.... it featured on Zabiela's recent essential mix and I had to search for it immediately and buy it. Great record. Love his use of melody :)
