Nocturnes 1.0. And the\\xa0\\xa0Night moves on...
Nocturnes is French for Nightly.. The great Chopin named\\xa0some of his pieces "Nocturnes", far from me to draw any sort of kinship\\xa0yet\\xa0put this\\xa0set on, dim the lights, grab a book, read, meditate or just chill.
For all the Nightcrawlers. Readers and other sleep-impaired creatures out there!
Deep and Progressive with a hint of very soft trance..From 99 to 120 bpm. A MUCH slower pace than what I usually serve.. Meant to relax the listeners.
I gave it a month ago to a young man, whose comment was " nice but not much schtick".. that\'s when I knew I sort of got it right ;)..
I have had\\xa0it on my HD for more than a month but\\xa0I could not decide whether I would go soulful or progressive.. Since I am suffering from whatever is the equivalent of writer\'s block for a DJ, I have decided to publish\\xa0it and wait for inspiration to strike.. later

\\nHighlights:
\\n"West End Girls".. nice to see this tune come back with a 2013 flavour still preserving the 80\'s groove.
\\n"Love So Deep" from Nubah may well be the aboslute gem of the set, driving bass and deep keys... Enjoy!
\\n"Over" by Maya Jane Coles.. MJC is most probably the best female DJ/Producer there is and she has that trouse feel I really dig.. As for the tune, I do not know if it is "house" but it is driving for sure, with great guitars and basslines.
\\n"Touching Me" by Finnebassen, one of the best release of 2012. So happy to have used it before it became too buried in all the new music!
\\n"Rain in My Heart" by\\xa0Jane Maximova.. best I can describe is "Chilled Balearic Trance" very CDM and reminds me of early Chicane.
\\n"Our Discovery" by Henry Saiz, continuing the balearic mood is a progressive little gem. which could belong to the original Cafe del Mar (CDM) serie.
\\n"Sexy Biest" by Stimming and Aavid August, very, very sexy deep, progressive tune and I feel my edit is doing the tune justice.
\\nThe last 2 tracks, "Wildlife" and "Tell Me Stories" wrap up the nocturnal mood in a nice chill yet progressive groove.
\\nI shoud be back soon with a soulful banger.. But the Nocturnes serie is not yet completed..
