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.

DHS 8 - Part 2 (H)

Sorry for slow addition.
Some good records added recently. I had the "Silence acoustic" track in my potentials but it turned 'grey' a while back, so was waiting for it to come back...well done finding it elsewhere D.

Been left with a tough act to follow by S.
Once again I'm not theming my latest additions, only by way of mentioning that they are what I'm currently listening to/purchases which have been on heavy rotation on ipod... hope you enjoy a few:-

Clock Opera - I have both this and the more disco tinged Little Loud Remix.... opted for this one to kick off my 2011 on Spot, it's moodier than the original and LL versions... superb vocal and understated production.

Tom Trago - think this is a few years old now but is new to my ears... doesn't really go anywhere but doesn't need to... moody washed out piano, cracking drum licks and that 'scratchy' filter make for a cool production effort. Sounds like a record Benn Watt would use in one of his Buzzin Fly mixes.

Esa, Mervin Granger - chuggy detroit influenced house with a nice melody.

Shonky - picking up the pace and the funk a little.

J Dahlback - won't apologise for picking another KU remix.... talented lad, seems he can turn his hand to most styles of electronic music (certainly for remixing duties anyway) and make a big hit.... I should imagine this considered very obvious, cheesey, mainstream blah blah blah... couldn't really care a hoot - it works for me, usually loud on the way home from work.
