The weekend has arrived, and it's a bit horrible outside. It's grey, dark, and raining. Not pleasant. Temperature wise it's OK, it's 8 degrees here, which is OK for me. Much better than the minus temperatures we had a few weeks ago. But we are not there yet: the temperature needs to go up and up, and we need to be able to wear shorts, t-shirts, and if flip flops are your thing, flip flops. And at the same time have the sun surrounding us, embracing us, and at the same time we should be sipping a cocktail. We basically need the Summer. It is only February, we are a few months away, but let's get in the zone. Let's get excited for the Summer of 2024!
As I'm talking about the Summer, the sun is coming out through the clouds! Oh, that must be a sign! So let's stay happy and cheerful that the Summer is around the corner, and let's focus on the next mix you are about to listen to. It's a mix by Edele Andaya, who has made multiple appearances on this site. And this time is a House focussed mix, with some of the biggest anthems of ALL time in them.
You'll see the list and immediately you will have memories. Memories to when you first heard them, or memories linked to the songs. Nice memories. Or even bad memories. But they will only happen because these songs are timeless classics, and will get everything thinking about how good they were, when they were released. If you have bad memories, I do apologise. Maybe this mix isn't for you.
It's a good looking list of songs. A brilliant selection of well known dancefloor anthems.
Bizarre Inc. - I'm Gonna Get You (Original Flavour Mix)
Todd Terry feat Martha Wash & Jocelyn Brown - Keep On Jumping
Jean Claude Ades - Someday
Armand van Helden - My My My
M.A.N.D.Y. vs Bookashade - Body Language (Tocadisco Remix)
Morty Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor Remix)
Mark Knight & Funkagenda - Man With The Red Face
Joey Negro - Make A Move On Me
Axwell, Ingrosso & Angello - Leave The World Behind
Freemasons feat Bailey Tzuke - Uninvited
Octave One - Black Water
The mix starts with an all time classic, one you will hear everywhere on Earth! It's such a House classic, and it sets the tone for the rest of the mix. It's very mellow and very melodic and that's just the right combination.
Edele's selection is great. I thoroughly enjoyed them all, and they brought back some memories I completely forgotten about. But all of these records were played back in the day multiple times in a row, for days on end.
It's a great selection, and when one of the biggest House songs ever gets played, I sit there and smile for an hour. That song has got the most memories, and it was one of those songs you could not escape from. It was such a global hit for Armand van Helden, and is still one of the best songs ever.
If you want a House mix to dominate your weekend, this is the right one for you! A solid mix to get us ready for next week, and the Summer ahead of us...
