En Mai fais ce qu\'il te pla\\xeet! (2014 Edition)
\\xa0French Proverb which literally means " In May do what pleases you"..\\xa0

Every year, on my birthday, I put something together .. for myself..
It does not infer that this set is in anyway better or that the tunes are "special" just that I know I will want to enjoy it later on day most probably in hotel room or on the plane or god forbid maybe walking or running somewhere..
Set may not be as polished as other uploads or may contain tracks I have used before. I may just have wanted to hear different cuts or indulge in some gratuitous Xtian\\u2019s trademarks vocal edits, who knows? It is first and foremost for ME !!
I won\\u2019t wax lyrical on it, I have dozen of similar sets that will never see the light of day. Sometimes because they are simply not good enough or because I got bored along the line (\\u201cGod is a DJ\\u201d springs to mind). This one, because I played with it around my birthday, gets to be published.
A deep, indie, progressive offer, very much the sound I feel comfortable with currently.
One last word on my birthday.. Best present ever was to see my kids, niece and nephew dance crazy to the Fade/Your\\u2019ve Got the Love edits of my last live set.. For 3 to 11 years old to have a dance to tunes like that just proves that if you do not give them crap, they enjoy good music all the same..

Highlights:
\\xa0I won\\u2019t go overboard with this section. One common thread is the immaculate production of ALL the tracks. If you do not have a good sound system, this set requires good headphones..
\\xa0Love the first track \\u201cCome On Now Set if Off\\u201d.. It has swag very much what Tube & Berger are all about.
The Giom jam \\u201cRed Light\\u201d is probably the best track of the lot.
I love \\u201cCanto del Pilon\\u201d and can\\u2019t wait to see the reaction of my kids to this one.. I very rarely touch Latin rhythms. I hope they will get it.
\\u201cIt Really Hurts\\u201d needs a mention for the subtlety of the production and the very distinct Dido feel to it.
Pre-emptive apologies for the \\u201cMirage\\u201d mash-up. I am sure someone with talent could do better but it is my birthday after all..
\\u201cBig Fun\\u201d, Kevin Saunderson, Inner City .. House royalty.. and if any Dl is reading this.. it begs to be mixed n with Touch me in the morning.. I did not do because it would have taken the set to another direction but it will work, trust me..

That\\u2019s it.

Not quite sure what will come next. Sexy house or a progression towards Trance.

Enjoy
