The genesis of my shows is often pure happenstance, but often it starts with just one song which has crossed my path over the course of the week. Maybe I heard it on a blog or the radio or somewhere, but I just can’t get it out of my head and need to share it and get it out there. This week, that honour falls to the Black Noise remix of Crookers’ dancefloor shaker Business Man. This is definitely something I’ll be saving in the crate for that perfect, peak of the night moment, dropping it on unsuspecting listeners.
Seeing as playing that track on the show would put us in a dancefloor mood, I took the opportunity to play a few other new gems and old favourites. In the latter category, you’ll find the Mat the Alien Remix as well as Diplo’s Spank Rock Remix, which I pretty much loved at first listen 3ish years ago and haven’t stopped loving since. In the former category, chalk one up for Amanda Blank whose music seems to be popping up everywhere these days, making even Mickey D’s semi-palatable.
At the end of the show, I just had to drop Featurecast’s re-edit of Aretha Franklin’s One Step Ahead. I’ve known about the song for a while and love the original, but only just got my hands on this version.
Special Bonus this week: I’ve edited out all my voice-over work, so it’s just 1hr of music. Enjoy!
