does anyone know what's the track on the marcus bday set after perempay's 'addicted'? tried to make a tracklist for the first hour and that's the only one i'm missing i think. this is what i got:

The track at 70 min = my life has been irrevocably altered forever.Oh sheeeiiit yeah that one. So good, but no idea who it's by. From the way it goes kind of half-time in places I suppose it might be by Matt IQ, but that's a total guess.DBS I really want to know what that vocal is too! The one with the 'sexy boy, listen as I lay it down for you' etc lyrics yeah? Isn't it frustrating when it seems like the best tunes around are the ones you don't know the names of yet? (The restless life of the musical trainspotter...).
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 July 2011 13:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that's the one!

Shay & Sinista ft Jasnett - Spend Some Time
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 July 2011 13:35 (twelve years ago) link
Thank you! Wouldn't have guessed that was an S&S production actually. Big tune anyway.
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 July 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
s&s really do do all sorts, not many producers you could say genuinely carry not a trace of a signature sound
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 July 2011 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
doesnt help when you periodically confuse them with andy jay & s-tee though mind
i keep listening to this 70min track on marcus and wondering if i've got the right set, what's the big deal? some of the sounds make me think mr tickle/dva but i wouldnt set my stall
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 July 2011 15:09 (twelve years ago) link
^It's the one after Mr Tickle - Don't Do Lemon & before the Shitta remix. Just when Ramzee first shows up. I'm struggling to describe what makes it particularly good right now, but it is, lol.
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 July 2011 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
thx rtc!
― dbs, Friday, 22 July 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
It's the drums of course! And the three basslines. It's in that Dem 2 / New Horizons lineage of gorgeously textured but also restlessly funky plinky plonky sounds.

Slick R&B + banging beats = my perennial favourite. And I was destined to love this tune given it sounds like my beloved "Deja Vu (Major Notes Remix)".
― Tim F, Monday, 1 August 2011 09:56 (twelve years ago) link
haha yes you can already kinda tell it's one of those little classics no one else will really go nuts over despite many minor, increasingly strangulated, and then strangely resigned references to it over the forthcoming years
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2011 10:37 (twelve years ago) link
That's enough to make me tear up actually.
At least it has a name. It's very hard even for a legacy as frail as the above to attach to my other forgotten favourite, the tune that samples Jagged Edge's "Walked Outta Heaven".
― Tim F, Monday, 1 August 2011 10:47 (twelve years ago) link
actually if you have the time (or the memory) can you remind me where exactly that jagged edge cropped up, i should like to have another stab at it
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2011 11:10 (twelve years ago) link
Marcus had a set on Deja with Shantie and Rankin' in May 2008, that he offered for download as 13 tracks. The Jagged Edge tune comes in at 7 min on track 1 and crosses over into track 2.
It's got this repeating piano figure and whirring beats, and "Rolling down the lonely highway, asking god to please forgive me." It's always been my pet theory that it's a Target tune as Marcus says at the beginning of the set he's got a Target track to play and it's vaguely like something he might have done.

just to reiterate that fuzzy logik's mix on this is tremendous fun also. (i dunno about everyone else but i'd passed it over a bit after dbs first brought attention, wrongly thinking cos i knew most the tracks it'd be standard.)
'twiss' is still SO GOOD!!!

LR.Groove & Miss Fire – Yours
^ been obsessing over this one a bit lately too, in tandem with the rebecca france remix. the brilliance of this vocal stuff has really taken me aback, there's been no hint of it to date even when he was good. (new "tribal" stuff isnt a patch on his earlier material from the key ep imo). if anything's the new dem 2/new horizons skippy dubby descendant it's this i reckon.
quick clip here
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 August 2011 11:09 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah "Yours" is amazing, reminds me of "Between Us" a bit.
― Tim F, Friday, 12 August 2011 11:13 (twelve years ago) link
why does that hannah liston song not exist outside this mix, i need it in my life
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 08:08 (twelve years ago) link
It's actually a vocal version of their remix of Hard House Banton's "Reign". AFAIK it's the first time the vocal version has ever been played.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 08:19 (twelve years ago) link
