Found this gem of 1993 Euro House whilst down rabbit hole one night buying vinyl on Discogs, It reminds me so much of when I first started going to clubs and its bouncy and euphoric.
Lovely little slab of Acid Hip House on the legendary Dance Mania label, I found this whilst digging for records in Chicago on my recent USA tour and have played it every set since.
This is a bit of a utility record thats great to wake up the crowd and make them feel warm and fuzzy, or a good one for the closing section of a party. He’s somehow managed to sample Hadaway – what is love and make it sound fresh. Its instrumental and very smooth so theres loads of space to add layers too.
Another artist that’s been making some great stuff of late that I found on Bandcamp. This track is nice and trippy but still powerful, it really gets tanking in the last third of the track and reminds me of Soulwax which is never a bad thing!
Found this old Chicago loopy pumper in a record shop in Ibiza, I have a few records from the Black Traxx series but had missed this one, the whole EP is wicked but this one gets the most plays.
Expect these hot tracks at Doorly’s set when he plays the Your Paradise Festival, happening in Manucca Islands, Fiji December 10th-16th.
