First of today’s Curated Groups comes from Dan B – it’s a terrific collection of recent dance/electronic tracks, if there’s a wider theme I’ll let him elaborate!
Thank you for this though - I will vote once I listen to all of them (and recover from Guess…
Oh I missed all of this (I think I thought there'd be posts for each group?) - are there more…
Also relevant: Bob Crewe, who co-wrote a bunch of hits for the Four Seasons, including "Let's Hang On" with Linzer…
That's actually good! Would've loved being on that dancefloor, surrounded by all those colors.
Never realised Linzer produced "Cherchez La Femme" (and the whole first Dr. Buzzard album in fact), but it makes total…
Ranking Joe "Tribute to John Lennon": "Good thing John Lennon never killed by a black man" jumps out as dead-on…
The Romantic Noise "I Fell In Love With A Baby": Hard Rocking Shit from the early Seventies that somehow has…
[Sigh... Apologies if these end up as double posts. WordPress killed my original attempt to post so now I'm dividing…
So here we have Alien-Deep-Gold-Bird, my ultra niche group of 20s bangers by unpolled artists* with a multi-lingual flavour.
Turn up the bass and hope you enjoy!
*Yes there’s at least one artist to have featured on a polled song before but it wasn’t on the spreadsheet so I let myself get away with it.
All these brought me pleasure but I am a basic sort and the combination of thumping beat and cool sample in “Larry Bird” provided the most joy. It reminded me happily of the kind of thing big beat acts used to do, except with even bigger (and better) beats.
I absolutely LOVE that Daniel Avery remix, so much so that it was the only thing I played on Spotify in 2021 for a while, and all my recommendations in early 2022 were also Daniel Avery remixes. It was like early 2000s Vitalic never went away!
Great group Dan! Just what I’m in the mood for at the moment.
As a Celtics fan I feel ashamed for not voting Larry Bird though.
Well, as a Celtics fan I don’t really have any choice here do I?
Top to bottom one of the best Curated Groups I’ve ever heard. Not a clue what I’m voting for except it’s one of the first 4
Agree, I had to listen twice, and it wasn’t even a chore, I was glad to do it.
I think it helped that they all had hints of other songs I really like, Rosso Profundo in particular have me a strong flavour of former Golden Beat winner Poni Hoax.
Very much (pleasantly) surprised by how the voting is going. One of these artists is an order of magnitude more popular on Spotify so half expected them to run away with it, but not going that way at all.
