Tune of the Week - No.8 - 20.10.15

With so much wonderful music knocking around here in the Abstract studio, we thought we'd take the opportunity to showcase a few very special items that are close to our hearts. Our choices for Tune of the Week may be fresh through the door, or decades old - our aim is that they will always epitomise the ethos of AbstractRadio...


Time to dip your toes once again into the deep, dark pool of modern house music.


Sweed feat. Jalana
- Finally - Lexer Remix -
Deepalma Records DPLM039


Show some appreciation:→


As found nestling right at the heart of our latest session [what do you mean you haven't listened to it yet?], Sweed's "Finally" comes with a variety of [re]mixes - we're heading straight for Lexer's rather fine contribution.

This track is in no small way influenced [ioho] by the recent classic "mashup": Art of Tones feat FCL - "It's You c/w Elephants" - this is not a bad thing at all, as "It's You" is another massive fave here at AbRad.

Mr Lexer has shifted away a fair bit from his standard electronc fare and delivers a great interpretation of Sweed's song. Smooth synth sounds underrpin Jalana's sweet vox., eliciting a suitably emotional ride running through the heart of the track.

Taking the original into account, this is a damn fine remix.



Here's the vid:

AbstractRadio session - bigroom - october 2015

Abstractionados!

The more observant among you may have deduced from the title that we've cobbled together a whole host of big, bold banging full-on house numbers for you this time around.

The selection - various barn-stormers and roof-raisers that have been knocking around abrad studios in recent times - is pretty much guaranteed to upset the neighbours. Some tracks are pretty fresh, some a wee bit older.

As ever, there are a number of contenders for tune of the week stuffed into the mix: Lo’99’s “All Night”, Bakermat’s “Leven”, “I Have the faith” by Faith Howard, all tunes by Gramatik, Rene Amesz and the brilliant Nice7, as well as the suitably bonkers Floorplan to finish off, but the prize this time goes to: Sweed’s “Finally” – a gorgeous mellow number we surreptitiously dropped into the madness.

Play as loud as you and any neighbouring countries can bear.

And yes, old school is very much the new nu-skool.

[any feedback, much appreciated]
