Deeply Twisted Sexy Tribal Affair..


\\xa0


Have had this set on my HD since NYD.. It is the After Party Set..


If you have no idea what an after-party is, \\xa0it\\u2019s what happens when the main crowd has long gone home.. Whoever is left has somewhat survived the night, as for the DJ on the decks.. well same thing...


After Party sets are different to main sets. They are ALL about the Beat & the Bass! Both the Beat & Bassline will (or won\\u2019t) bring the punters back to the Dance floor.


Tunes do not need to be commercial (whoever is left is usually either f@cked up or really committed to Jack). Normally only tight crews are left, they were here to dance and sipped it to the last drop/beat..


The whole idea of an After Party set is to slowly but surely put the spark back in the eyes of whoever is left and not totally comatose. For DJs, it can be a real treat because they have total creative freedom with revelers they know will get it IF the music is good.


Those\\xa0sets are twisted routes to bring back tired and spacy house-heads back to peak time and put\\xa0one last smile on their faces before they say their goodbyes, hug, put their sunglasses on and are ready for the walk of shame....


\\xa0Here is my After Party set..


On the darker side of Deep, with a bit of Sexy Tribal and enough Funk not to completely lose you. \\xa0Some sugar but a lot of spices and PA.


I had \\xa0fun for a lot of the tunes were not in my "zone", furthermore I was pleasantly surprised that I could handle those tricky beats. \\xa0As a whole journey, I, for one maybe, would soooo get it..


Give it a listen and if at times you find it twisted, persevere and push yourself. You will be rewarded.

Highlights:


Starting off with "Welcome to My World" from Petros Mitolis feat. Dawn Williams & Mike LaBirt. Petros is a greek-german prodcer remixer, which was kind enough to befriend me on FB.


I always wanted to start the NYD set with this Deep and Sexy gem. In the live version, the tune was coupled with a Jaime Lewis/Kim Cooper track, I rejigged the set this month because I thought that both tracks were too similar and somewhat the Lewis\' one, was taking the shine off Petros\' production. Then I had to find a monster track which would fit and I could tweak to blend in.. The Kevin Yos/Ben Watt Edit of EBTG Five Fathoms was just perfect.. Massive track but not overpowering "Welcome to My World"


Petros Mitolis\' production are selling on Traxsource. Follow this link and please support this very talented artist.


"All this Love for You" from Ralph Gum just perfect and the adlib is very tight.


Love the Jaime Lewis take on Prince\'s new track "Rock and Roll Love Affair". Their current collaboration is giving Prince\'s creations the house edge they need to cross to the dancefloor.


I am not unhappy of my edit of Hombostel\'s "Fire". I worked on two\\xa0fairly poor accapella samples but the track did not suffer too much.


Party Non Stop from "Pirupa". Had to be somewhere as it was one of the big track of Ibiza 2012. As for Nang Bang, anyone who knows me will tell you that I would never miss the occasion to put Mr V in a set..


Then 2 cooky Frankie Knuckles tracks, "Back2 NY" and the anthemic "Your Love", \\xa0taken from his last album released late 2012. New takes on old tracks which fitted snuggly.


As said, if you stay with me on this one from A to Z, you will be rewarded.


Next uploads will be progressive and down-tempo but I may slot a Soulful House one in no to lose too many followers not interested in my experiments.
