tracks for 2020

meanwhile something completely different c/o lou hayter (just signed to the Warm roster). proper ace

one for the global kitchen rave crew

 
without wanting to get too technical, the term you're after is a 'warm pad'. You first started to hear them in filmscores, synthesisers and cosmic disco records around the turn of the 80s (Space, Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Baldelli) before the Chicago guys picked up on them. Frankie Knuckles Whistle Song is a good example. also the daddy of 'warm' records Mr Fingers Can you feel it which has that sad but uplifting 'warmth' too. then the prog lot (sasha and co) later kept the keys but stripped away the rawness, creating an altogether different sound. the best all night house sets imo balance out the warmpads saving them for around the 3/4am mark when people are coming up, freeing you up to play harder, more challenging 4/4 beforehand. about 80% of the music I like probably features warmpads of some kind but best heard in moderation, or can get a bit overload (like eating too much cake..)

thank you very much!
