Some nice starters

like many youthful dance music lovers I was looking for big tracks that could send a crowd ape shit. And while I still respect a good dance floor brain ripper, I realized it is but one shade of the many shades of awesome you can find out there. Here is some well made smooth grooves that can kick off things or even bring you down gently to get that stress out.

Tensnake- I was holding back my love
this guy is smooth. this track is like taking your favorite slow jam and putting a four-four beat on it. actually just look for anything by Tensnake and be amazed. Currently though this is my favorite.


Knightlife- crusader
this is a little more up tempo still smooth. if you like the down tempo disco sounds of the early eighties (this includes real percussion melding with tasty synthesizers) give it a listen.

Iron Curtis- Solgerhood
This right here is my current favorite. If you like house oriented music but your looking for something without a retro or revivalist feel this may be the ticket. Its elegantly minimal (not boring or snobby) with a dash of tech house refreshment. to me its brains and beauty. Also Iron Curtis is label mates with Tensnake on the record label Mirau music wich is a quality record label.


Woolfy-Neeve (permanent vacation tropical heat mix)
this is for if you yearn for the sounds of some far off tropical paradise. I like it when dance tracks incorporate recordings of jungle noises, birds or sounds that evoke the images of the outdoor world. if your looking for quality down tempo Woolfy has many tracks including the original Neeve you might fancy so check him out.

Quixote-before I started to dance (Prinz Thomas edit)
smooth summer guitar strummin with chill vocals. Prinz Thomas has the magic touch to take this track nice to blissfully nice

That concludes my kick off list for now. In the future I will try to post some tracks to share with whom ever. Until then Hit up other blogs, Itunes, Beatport or possibly Bleep.com to hear what these tracks are like.

Keep it breezy,
