Tight Silk – Ain’t gonna get me Dreamin’

AGGMD cover

TIGHT SILK is the latest incarnation of Stockholm’s Josefine Fagerström who melds Chicago inspired house and Nordic nu-disco with undertones of glossy 80s synths, the TIGHT SILK sound can conjure up images of a hazy summer night spent on a moonlit dance floor.

Josefine’s second single is co-produced by Johan T Karlsson aka Familjen, and mastered by Andreas Tilliander.  Richard Brain’s wobbly bass will make your dancefloor or roomfloor shake no matter what. While Silverarken takes us on a low-bpm psychadelic sub-marine adventure. Mokira Dub anyone?

Légo – El Ritmo De Verdad, Afterhours, 1999

[Audio clip: view full post to listen]

Grab your latin house ass and hold on tight! This is without a doubt the hottest piece of latin style house, or Balearic (after  the tracks huge sucsess in Ibiza) I ever came across so far. It’s also a dream to mix with a magically perfect intro and I had it in my box where ever I went for years. Chicago based Rafael “Légo” Rodriguez  today contains a 17 year DJ residency at Chicago’s Legendary “Boom Boom Room” and to a great deal has this track to thank for it. The voice … Continue…
