Mr B’s Sunday Chill Session
I simply love this track for its simplicity and for the amazing way it is produced. A beautiful musical journey, and a superb mixture of acoustic instruments, vocal and electronica elements. Eventhough I have heard the track numerous times, it still surprises me ! Nuff Respect to singer Nina Miranda & producer Dennis Wheatley alias Shrift.
Shrift – “Lost in a Moment” – 2006

The legendary and mysterious German techno dub collective Rhythm & Sound – the creative force behind Basic Channel, Chain Reaction and Maurizio. Mark Ernestus & Moritz Von Oswald , the two masterminds behind Rhythm & Sound have been setting the pace ever since 1993 and are considered some of the most influencial early Techno Pioneers. ”Spend some time” have all the ingredients and trademarks of Rhythm & Sound. A simple hypnotic beat, a heavy & deep bass, chops & stabs, echoes and reverbs galore, and a fantastic vocalist Tikiman (aka Paul St Hilaire) .
Rhythm & Sound Feat Tikiman – “Spend some time” – 1998.

A Classic recording from a magical concert, I really wish i had been there. This musical genious is one of the most award winning artists ever coming out of India. Ravi Shankar is 91 and still going strong, playing his sitar all over the world, alongside his daughter Anoushka Shankar. His other daughter is by the way Norah Jones.

French Pilooski, master of re-edits, label owner (Dirty Label) and a brilliant musician. A man that love quirkyness , dirty beats & sexy samples, all in all the wizard of oddballs !!!”Love is wet” is a slow & and haunting electronic lullaby,a super downtempo track, though a very happy & bright side of Pilooski….”You know love makes the world go around”

Monolake is an electronic music act based in Berlin. Consisting of members Gerhard Behles and Robert Henke. Monolake are wellknown for their minimal dub techno, but the track I have chosen ”Plubicon Epilogue” are more on the ambient electronica side…..It is an outstanding 10 min long ambient fieldtrip. These two Gentlemen founded Ableton Software in 1999. Respect !!!

One of the best vocals in the universe remixed by Canadian Junior Boys. This remix is very simply, and extremely sad ! Junior Boys really gets the best out of Billie Holiday‘s melancholic voice.
