Music is indeed food for the soul. When I heard this mesmerising Circulation – Turquoise remix by Guy J, my soul was as full as an egg. I have been accused of being greedy and when it comes to feeding my soul with beautiful, positive and atmospheric music, I fundamentally agree and I can assure you that I will never change!
We all know what Love feels like, well, in my opinion, this is what Love sounds like. On listening to the captivating sound sensations, I imagined dancing beneath the stars and the sounds triggered amazing memories of me laying back beneath the stars watching a meteor shower. If music conjeurs up amazing memories such as that, then it deserves every accolade.
I have no doubt the universe will embrace this music and it will joyfully echo the amazing sound sensations throughout the galaxy. If there are other alien life forms out there, Guy J’s vibes will have them dancing in no time!

When music touches your soul and tugs at your heart strings, there is very little you can do about it, other than switch it off. Who in there right mind would want to do that? I hear music every day and some create an intense impulse for me to write. So I consciously and happily act on that impulse.
I heard Robin Schulz some months ago and put him on my to write about list. I wait for the appropriate moment to present itself, and voila I opened my Soundcloud profile this morning and was greeted by some great news from the talented DJ/Producer that he is helping create a wonderfully positive and upbeat universal Underground ‘Feeling‘ by releasing his new EP.
The EP including ‘Gonus‘ released by Miami Techno Chrome Records is out now on Beatport. It’s intense percussion, mesmerising vocal and powerful bass with an infusion of stylish ‘get with the vibes my man’ riffs, sassy brass and dance insistent rhythm, will get you on your feet in no time.
Robin Schulz was born in 1987 in Osnabrück. He was influenced by electronic music and all its facets in his early years. At the age of 15 he actively began to mix some sets on his own. At first with the simplest programs on his computer, later with better and more expensive equipment. His upbeat riffs, deep tech house rhythmic productions have a certain distinctive class and confidence, which gained my admiration and full support from the offset.
He is definitely no ‘Ordinary‘ individual and his creations are captivating, inspirational with some exquisite vibes to maintain a universal Underground ‘feel good house factor’.
His major influences and positive role models have been Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, M.A.N.D.Y, Lexy & K. Paul and Booka Shade.

I adore receiving unexpected gifts from artists. I opened my personal Soundcloud profile (all work and no play is definitely not on my agenda) and I was greeted by a message from Neil the mastermind behind greencarpetedstairs. He had posted me a link to his new work of art ‘Birds and Bees’ in video presentation. Of course it is my duty to then share this unique brilliance with you?
I have followed and adored this musician since hearing this gorgeous track which was one of my all time Soundcloud favourites in 2010. It’s simplicity and beauty touched my soul. His work and vocal is 100% original.
He is quirky, he is fun and he has an amazing sense of humour. If you check out his current twitter account, he is currently wearing a crown and presenting himself as the future generation of Kings amongst men! I adore this artists work. He dares to be artistically different and for that he has my full admiration, support and absolute respect. He also really likes to collaborate with some Nasty Nasty talented musicians to help create and make a noise with some radical thumping beats.

Placidic Dream ft Ronnie Canada - I've Been Betrayed
Phunky Rabbit Records present Placidic Dream ft Ronnie Canada-I’ve Been Betrayed. The original track is by Phunky’s own Placidic Dream. This is a track full of lush synths and a really cool vibe that just gets you moving from the start. The vocals are provided by the legendary Ronnie Canada in his own distinctive soulful style. Ronnie has worked with just about everyone in the Soul/Motown industry and has charted many times with various house outfits. Here he does not disappoint, giving us a really strong vocal.
On the remixes, first up is BB White. This is a driving house track with his own grooving beats leading the track all the way. He provides a massive trumpet part which I just know you will all enjoy. Next, is co-owner of the label – Prodigal Sons Remix. If this one does not get you out of your seat dancing, then you have serious problems. It is a real banger. Chris Angel provides sax that squeals at you in a really cool way. DJ Prince is next, and here you can feel his own very clever style where he uses hooks to keep you interested. He will be involved a lot more with the label in the future. Last but by no means least, is a really laid back deep house mix by newcomers Soul Fortune. This track takes your imagination roof down, wind in your hair, driving into the sunset with the one you love.
