Nice to see you restored D and to get DHS back up and running.
Ok - the previous ten...
Dammerung (Return) - lovely, really nice
Callisto (Synthapella) - again, really nice - also like the Joris Voorn remix of same tune on the package
Heaven - outstanding bit of modern pop music
I <3 U So (Skream's mix) - I'm just a sucker for that drum break - must've heard it a million times by now and hope to hear it many millions more
Dammerung - *swoons*
Firework - hmmmm - I'm probably more into 'pop' now than at any time in recent years (and will drop some into DHS sooner rather than later) but this tune doesn't quite get me - the other half loves it though
Believe - *swoons again* - still sounded fabulous in Clapham recently - timeless, classic, dance record
Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - sorry, not for me - shame 'cos I did think Coldplay were great. Duff, if you've only just 'got' them then go back and listen to the first two albums (specifically; Yellow, Trouble, In My Place, The Scientist, Clocks and Fix You (off the 3rd album)) - I don't know whether it's my ears that have changed or their sound but I haven't felt anything really off the recent albums. Shame.
Hey Jude - probably best that I just say nothing...
Embrace - it's very 'ATB' isn't it - I bet Oakenfold must've hammered this
Ok, the next five...
Public Enemy - Harder Than you Think - there was a BBC4 documentary about PE on recently - thoroughly enjoyable - featured this track for a couple of minutes towards the end, woven in and out of recent interview footage - the blaring horns grabbed my ears - took me a while to find which track it was but when I had the words grabbed me too. I know (from having posted it on Facebook) that Duffy's not feeling it particularly but, for me, this is an outstanding PE track
Moby - Next Is The E (Synthe Mix) - yep, Moby's back for his 14,372,159th DHS appearance - always loved this - bought two copies of the vinyl - played it at the recent Clapham outing - whole floor of people innocently grooving away to a 20 year old record - fantastic.
Maya Jane Coles - You (Edu Imbernon Remix) - two of the best new names that I've learnt during 2011 - rolling percussion, bassline, bit of piano, vocal hook, some melody - just a fantastic track that totally sums up what I like right now. Also got played at Clapham.
Nicolas Massayeff - The Motherland - just a straight up and down, fierce, tech-house stormer - the whole albums is really good
Way Out West - Apollo - 4th appearance for WOW on DHS - new track to me, heard for the first time on a Sasha/Digweed mix from 2004 on SoundCloud - love this sort of rolling breakbeat trancey-house stormer and WOW arguably do it better than anybody else
Enjoy what's left of 2011 - looking very much forward to what DHS brings in 2012.
