Floyd Lavine Feat Mey – MS. Cooper (Nocturnal Sunshine Remix)
I just dicovered that Maya Jane Coles has a ‘dubstep’ alias, Nocturnal Sunshine. Lovely stuff!

Lloyd Banks – Beamer Benz or Bentley (Instrumental)
Identifying songs was fun before mobile-apps existed. Searching one hour, two hours to find that tune haunting your mind was cool for a music fanatic like me. Sometimes, however, a tune stays unknown for months, because you don’t have a fucking clue where to start looking. An example is the tune starting 0:29 at in this Gaslamp Killer video.
Two weeks ago I bought me a smartphone, so about time to try the SoundHound application. It took the application ten seconds to recognize this killer tune!

Top 20(11): 1. John Tejada – Farther & Fainter
Good moments have their own musical soundtrack. John Tejada was my travel companion in 2011. It fitted all types of moments, sights and emotions. I like the duration of ‘Farther & Fainter’, long enough to enjoy that groove to the fullest and short enough to press the replay button. From a distance, it sounds as an easy and not too complicated track. If you listen more carefully, you will discover rich pads, different layers and subtle variations to the patterns. It’s simplicity in sound. I’m a big fan of simplicity, because it’s an art.
If you had to buy one album in 2011, it should’ve been Parabolas.

Top 20(11): 2. SBTRKT – Wildfire
I can’t think of an other album that I’ve been playing so much this year. SBTRKT brings the perfect pop, without losing the typical UK sound. Both singles (Wildfire and especially Pharaohs) got plenty of airplay. Wildfire may be a bit odd in the Worlds Below collection, but it’s a damn good song.
We had ‘Right Thing To Do‘ on the blog before.

Top 20(11): 3. Sepalcure – Breezin
Top track from a top album. Especially the shift in atmosphere, melody and rhythm at 03:33 lifts up your mood. Perfect to start the new year!
