It's not just boom boom boom. They're telling me something here. Something I can dance to and learn from.
I can see house music becoming universal one day.
It'll just take time for people to receive it." Robert Owens - 1988

Un idioma estranger

Funky-disco-joquésé-house que m'encanta! Swimsuit, swimsuit everywhere! :D


      


You know I used to be alright,
When you woke me in the morning, waiting for the sun to shine,
And do the two-step all night,
Then you'd spin me round and catch me, laughing as the sun would rise.

Oh I don't know what to do,
You speak a foreign language, what you've put me through,
The enemies, I know you're hiding one or two,
But I just can't say no to you

So I can't let you go
When you won't let me know
I can't let you go
When you won't say.
I can't let you go
When you won't let me know
I can't let you go while
I slip away

Boy it's just a puzzle and the pieces they are scattered on the floor,
It's a silly little game and the sentences are scribbled on the wall,
You think you have the time to wash off all the ugly lies,
But the bottom of the matter is it takes up all your time.
Takes up all your time.

Oh I don't know what to do,
You speak a foreign language, what you've put me through,
The enemies, I know you're hiding one or two,
But I just can't say no to you.

So I can't let you go
When you won't let me know
I can't let you go
When you won't say.
I can't let you go
When you won't let me know
I can't let you go while
I slip away.

Never ending stories lead me to the door,
Then I wait alone just like I did before,
Another mystery is laying down the rhyme,
It seems you are distracted and you'll never have the time.

So I can't let you go
When you won't let me know
I can't let you go
When you won't say
I can't let you go
When you won't let me know
I can't let you go while
I slip away

Hi ha esperança




There is hope in this live.
There is fear in these eyes.
And I believe we can fly, 
Through the hole in the sky.

 Cançó perfecte per acabar una sessió o per ben entrada la nit, però amb ganes de continuar-la. M'encanta!

L'essència del house

Vaig conèixer en Curtis Randles en els meus viatges a Eivissa allà cap al principi dels 2000. Cada tarda acabàvem el dia i començàvem la nit als Sunset cafès de San Antoni. Un d'aquests era el Kanya, amb la seva piscina i els seus natxos amb formatge ens van atreure, però el que ens va conquerir fou la menestralia que en Curtis exhibia darrera els plats: recordo especialment una tarda que va clavar el ritme del down tempo amb l'últim raig de Sol, i un calfred d'emoció ens va recorre la pell.
En Curtis venia CD de les seves sessions al Kanya, i és clar cada any acabàvem amb 3 o 4 dels seus. No se com, vam recuperar el contacte a través de la xarxa. La veritat és que no sé si em recorda, però jo sí el tinc ben present. No debades, m'ha fet passar algunes de les millors tardes de la meva vida.

Ara segueixo la seva feina com a DJ a través de mixclound. Com exemple de la seva classe, us deixo una sessió dedicada al (que jo considero) autèntic house: bases contundents, funky, soul i en Jack!

Espero que en gaudiu tant com jo!

Curtis, keep up the good work!

Per mi una de les millors d'aquest estiu!

Aquí en teniu un tast.
"You got me high, you got me low, you got me deeper than you know (you got me)!"

Algú que coneixia...

M'encanta aquesta cançó de Gotye!

Sí, ens la trobem fins a la sopa però és per què és bona!

I aquí faig un recull d'algunes remescles house que he trobat a la xarxa i m'han agradat.

1. La base com de "xilòfon" m'agrada - Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know ( House Remix Pier.k)

2. Un punt tribal - Somebody that I used to know - Gotye (Swatt Remix)

3. I un recull prou interessant fet per algú altri - THE 10 BEST REMIXES OF GOTYE’S “SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW”

A gaudir!
