Song For Isabelle

On a Friday in June

It’s been a while since I simply wrote about songs that I find incredible. This post does not have a specific point or direction. It’s merely a collection of tunes both old and new that have found their way to the top of my most played list. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Stimming’s recent Reflections LP on Diynamic has been one of the long player highlights of the year at CCHQ thus far and the haunting melodies and dub delays found on Song For Isabelle have been eerily comforting in recent weeks. I can’t help but get lost in a daydream of memories and what-ifs when listening. If this song was truly written for an Isabelle, she must have been very special.

Released a few months ago, Markus Fix’s Clear Your Mind melds tech inspired deep house with one of the most rib rattaling subs I’ve heard in a while. Low end lovers need not second guess this. Fix gives the best in Dubstep a run for their money here with some devilish bass weight and hypnotic down pitched vocals.

Hot off the press. Cocoon’s brand spanking new VA compilation features music from the best of the best. We were all eagerly looking forward to Tim Green and Emerson Todd’s Exercise although after the very first listen, Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts entry absolutely floored me. Fine tuned percussion and wailing horns dripping with emotion. Bangin’.

Been spending much of time hunting down some older Basti Grub music lately and inadvertently stumbled across Spedro in the process. Spedro, who’s been known to work with Basti in the past released the single Tikkilang back in February of this year which came backed with one mother of a refix from Ben Anders. Voodoo House to hit straight-ball. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come.

Speaking of Basti Grub, Hohenregler Is Geregelt has been more or less on repeat here since it’s release. If you haven’t purchased it already, quit sleeping and hit the shops. It’s without a doubt it’s been one of this years highlights.
