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 12 - Part 16 (S)

H
Grand Puba - never cringe about Westwood mate - he's the biggest of big dogs and there since the very beginning - decent tune
Aphex Twin - couldn't make my mind up about Aphex 20 odd years ago and still can't now - tracks like this one make me more favourable though...
Sailor & I - gorgeous strings - prefer the slight additional urgency of the added beats in the Brikha remix
Essay - bliss - Duff, it's on a mix I did  for the Bedrock forum's Xmas mix-swap...
Steve Mill - pleasant enough

D
Johnny Cash - it's Johnny Cash innit, nothing more needs be said
Young Fathers - interesting and on my list to explore further
Alicia Keys - wouldn't begin to deny her voice or talent but this one isn't for me
Mint Royale - there's a Crazy Penis remix and how can anybody deny a tune that's had a Crazy Penis remix?!
Martyn Bennett - love the Danny MacAskill video - all of them in fact - they all use music brilliantly - great track


S
Put my 'possibles' list onto shuffle and went with the first five it played...

Bubble Club - been on my possibles list for four and a half years and listening now I can only apologise for not picking it sooner - utter bliss...
Turtle - only been on possibles since January when it was released - I'm a sucker for a breakbeat and synthy sweeps...
Home Video - could've gone with the original as that is also on the possibles list but the laptop picked the Sasha remix - every time I play this the vocal melody stays in my head for days
Essay - another Essay tune, following up Hodgson's use of 'Morning Mountain' on his last outing - been a possible since last August - pretty much me in a current musical nutshell
Barry Jamieson - geezer did a lot of studio engineering for Sasha over the years - the original is ok but this Shiloh remix is utter, Underworld flavoured, filth...
