This will come as no surprise to anyone who ever lived with me: I’ve been having a furniture move-around. I get bored with things being in the same place after a while, start imagining how things would be better if I moved stuff around, and once that happens: that’s it, I can’t rest until everything has been moved to fit my new plan.
This time, all of my vinyl, and my turntable too, have been moved to my front room (not a euphemism), with all my CDs coming in the opposite direction. I’m sure many of you have exprienced the same thing: too much stuff, not enough room for it to live in the same place, something has to give.
In the early 2000s, as I got into dance music, I bought a whole load of mix CDs, in the hope that I’d know what friends were talking about when they happened to mention, for example, Azzido de Bass’s wonderful Dooms Night (Timo Maas’s remix especially).
As I’ve been rearranging furniture, I’ve revisited some of these old mix CDs, and as a result, uncovered some right bangers which otherwise would have continued on their merry, below-the-radar way.
Like tonight’s choice. I knew Kinobe from their chill-out classic Slip Into Something More Comfortable, which has popped up on these pages before. But when this, with it’s Lovin’ Spoonful sample, gushed from my speakers, it felt like I was hearing it for the first time, and I knew I’d found a tune to feature here:
More soon.
