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 10 - Part 8 (H)

Greetings Gentleman,

Thank you for your additions.  Diving straight in...

D
We Are Young - Love it.  Long may pop music like this be released.
Agnelli & Nelson - this sort of stuff reminds me of my days in Sheffield - certainly not a bad thing at all.... but Trance was a bit of a swear word up there when the Crasher backlash kicked off (basically 98 - the year I arrived!)
Silence - super record but not the right mix for my ears I'm afraid.  Killer melancholic vocal - stunning.
DP - I LOVED their first L.P but didn't ever really buzz off Rollin n Scratchin so struggle to get through this medley to be honest.
Sanvean - very, very pleasant indeed.

S
Blackbyrds - brilliant brilliant record.  Actually heard this for the first time during Semi Pro and watched to the end to pick up the name of the track. Love it.
Joakim - yep - nice groove... it's funky easy listening basically.
Baunz - same label as Midland has released on??  really picks up after halfway - not bad... bit of an acid feel to it.
The next two are your best additions for a while - both straight into my house masterlist...
Slideshow Park - can't think where I've heard this... in someone's mix recently I think - absolutely lush tune, proper brilliant use of the vocal.
Chymera - love their stuff, got a few in my house list already and this is a welcome addition there as well as on our lists.  fantastic melodies and upbeat techy feel.

Lots of house music in my car at the moment so that's what you're getting!

D Ghenacia/Shonky - one of my fave house records of the year thus far... Howells played this at Easter Bedrock and the response from the crowd was both vocal and  visible... you could sense it was almost his way of announcing 'my set is REALLY starting now so leave the f-ing bar and get into it'... Don't expect it to go anywhere at all, it is in fact incredibly repetitive but the deep groove is massively infectious and if we had a summer in this country then this would be in the soundtrack imo.

Agoria/Scalde - BIG fan of this (took me a while to get over the wailing... if I were a DJ I'd scrub that from the track before playing it) ... moody, melancholic, cracking bassline - another one that the floor really reacts to.

Agoria - this has been on my list for AGES but it came up on shuffle on my options list before going straight into Ryan Davis and they're both boosted by marvellous strings sections so it was just meant to be...

Ryan Davis - stunning.  Thanks to S for introducing me to this chap via Opus (which pound for pound sh!ts all over this tune to be honest)....this still has a very hypnotic feel and lovely string build and is worthy imo.

Dundov - cracking LP.... another amazing melodic build and something you can get lost in on the headphones.  Nothing too mental in terms of pace, just big synth lines which keep on giving.
