where is your baby Regina from Brooklyn hit it big with this one in the 80′s. Dripping in electro-pop goodness, “Baby Love” is a moment of crystallized early weekend sunshine. True to 80′s style, this gem deliciously confuses the line between cheese and funk. From one ear, it couldn’t be groovier, causing hips to swing on their own accord and shoulders to bounce from side to side. From another ear, this is just some retro-feel-good-corny-pop-escapism. You choose.

Pulling from Teena Marie & Rick James’ “I'm A Sucker For Your Love” Andres’ sampled sounds blend seamlessly. The bassline is subtle and effective, achieving the perennial goal of being ‘felt but not heard.’ Andres’ signature dusty feels can be felt amidst the joy of harp-like shimmers and youthful call-and-response voices. This is laid-back and driving, groovy, life-affirming sophistication.

reworking the Plez classic The iconic wailing synth is as haunting as in the original but with newfound dancefloor energy. Morales was known as one of the first “big-shot DJs,” getting the opportunity to tour the world after hooking up names like Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, and U2 with remixes. No doubt this track succeeds in emulating the underground soul of 90′s house music while remaining contemporary and accessible - this one should resonate with a wide variety of DJs and crowds.

A short promo piece for a show this past weekend held at a Stanford co-op. I had the great pleasure of shaping the vibes in a sweaty basement dancefloor before a massive bonfire and an extended set by Tekife’s DJ Taye.
