Nocturnes 3.0


\\xa0


Third and most probably last instalment of the Nocturnes series.


Keeping up with the nightly vibe with some cheeky edits and my first original mash-up with \\u201cIt\\u2019s You I Touch\\u201d.


If you feel like having a laugh scroll to 58:46.. The added sample is priceless..


Best way I can describe the final set is as an attempt to blend Deep with Progressive house with a NYC undercurrent vibe.


Nocturnes 3.0 fits snuggly in the series and I believe it is a tidy way to wrap it up.

Highlights


Bar \\u201cCooler Couleur\\xa0\\xbb, which is the only weak track and here because of the french accent sample, all tracks in the playlist are worth running to Beatport and Traxsource and paying for the original versions.


\\u201cIt\\u2019s You I Touch\\u201d is my first real attempt at a mash-up. "Touch" by Buraq & Patrick Podage vs. "It\\u2019s You" by FCL. I hope someone with real talent will pick up what is a good idea and make it great\\u2026 Because those 2 tracks are begging for it.


\\u201dLeaves Falling\\u201d progressive trancy track with a Balearic tinge. It reminds me of early Chicane and Caf\\xe9 del mar.


\\u201cSky in Your Eyes\\u201d you will recognize the main pads line and it will take you back!


\\u201cGoing Crazy\\u201d and \\u201cStart Again\\u201d, two solid tunes, with great male vocals and perfection of a bass line..


\\u201cNo Eyes\\u201d from Claptone, with \\u201cFollow The Step\\u201d, the real gem of the set. I love the bass line, the production is beyond reproach, deep, sexy, progressive\\u2026


Into \\u201cFollow The Step\\u201d, which was the discovery of the Miami Winter Music Conference (WMC), I am not sure I am giving the tune the credit it deserves and I will came back to it further down the road.


Fairly satisfied with my 2 edits of \\u201cBlack Room Boy\\u201d and \\u201cLet\\u2019s Play\\u201d giving them the NYC remix treatment with a Kev Cruz sample I hope put to good use.


\\u201cAll Cats Are Grey\\u201d, if you are an adult check the tune (starting at 58:46) you will have a laugh.. I stumbled on the Ed Weather sample a few months ago.. Priceless..


Finishing with "Spectra" and "Moon", 2\\xa0fantastic progressive\\xa0gems... I may start the following progressive mix with "Spectra" to give the tune a bit more exposure.


Not quite sure where I will go next, most probably soulful or if I have the time I will prepare an edit set for some freinds of mine dropping in over the weekend.. We shall see.


In the meantime..


Enjoy
