Colourful Crescendo

You might not think it, at least in the UK, but Summer is officially here and we’re well in to it now.

If the credit crunch hasn’t nailed you, you’ll be flying off to some far away country for your holiday, finding a beach or pool with the water lapping at your feet and the sun bearing down turning you into a golden God(dess). Alternatively, you’re stuck in the office, working away like a little beaver in an attempt to find a few pennies to hit the town for a few beverages and a good ol’ boogie.

Either way, One Phat DJ is here to supply you with the freshest and finest in funky house, mixed up for your delight and all for the one off cost of absolutely nothing (don’t forget - donations via PayPal are obviously well received).

Here is episode 51 of the One Phat DJ Podcast - Colourful Crescendo.

Description

The mix starts off with a few mellow tunes from Koyla and the awesome Richard Earnshaw with diva Angie Brown but we quickly get up to speed with plenty commercial remixes from the likes of Estelle, Chaka Kahn, Mary J Blige, Ne-Yo and Jennifer Hudson.

We then revisit Hed Kandi’s The Mix Summer 2008 with some massive funky numbers from Steve Haines, ATFC and Housejack, the kind of tunes that should get rumps shifting and tonsils warbling.

If that wasn’t enough to get you going, we then feature one of the finest remixes I’ve heard in a long time - the Soulshakers reworking of the classic nineties track “Show Me Love” from Robin S. I think you’ll agree - our boys from Norwich have excelled in this production.

While we’re reminiscing on older tracks, London’s talented duo Moto Blanco have revisited X-Press 2’s 2001 hit “Lazy, adding in their trademark uplifting synths and beats to create a real uplifting remix.

The last hour introduces then turns a little twisted. We start off with the likes of the Studiopunks, Made In London and Tognarelli & Botani who all turn the heat up a little with some deeper grooves.

We’re also treated to more vocal blessings from the ever-lovely Amanda Wilson from her collaboration with Soulcatcher before going into another dance cover of a Beverley Knight track, this time Wawa and The Outsiders putting their touch on “Keep This Fire Burning“.

The last 45 minutes then go deep and dark with some awesome tunes from the likes of Captcha, Denis The Menace, Eric Prydz, Yoav and Laurent Wolf before we wrap everything up with a fantastic bootleg of Spit’s “Falling” and Kings Of Tomorrow’s “Finally” discovered by fellow podcaster DJ Cruze - I defy anyone to not love this tune!
