More piano madness for this one. The vocal is AI (again) and with this one I tried to make something a little darker, but with some vocal. So there isn't actually much singing, but there a lot of chops, echoey bits and some wailing. The track has 3 drops, bags of pianos and a bit in the middle that has strings from the 90s. Lovely.

I loved [Yotto's Silhouette](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkH5pKD7So). It's this blissful chillout track with this haunting vocal layered over. But I would never be able to play it in its beatless form, so I made this remix. It's actually pretty rough in terms of production, but it is/has been popular on Soundcloud (whilst it was available there) and I think people enjoyed the wonder of the original with some movement.


Silhouette

Thank You began with a single trumpet stem from an AI generator. It became this. I wanted an afro house Nora En Pure-esque track and to have some energy in it. I think it does, but eye of the beholder and all that.


Thank You

One of my strongest DJing memories is playing a bootleg version of Prince's Controversy in Pacha, London in ~2005. It was an absolute belter of a record. It had the ability to straddle tougher sets and more accessible ones. It was universally liked and that pays homage to Prince's original.

This version is effectively the regurgitation of that same sample from 20 years ago and beefed up. There are multiple versions of the same track at play here giving a result that can be played in sets. There is a non "mean" version, which is far more accessible also.


Controversy

Let's go back to 2004, or at least slightly before when DJ Falcon and Thomas Bangalter _may_ [have released a house track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-fMiEJBrH8&t=0s) using Steve Winwood's "Valerie". Yet, in all the confusion, two other producers also released similar work; famously Eric Prydz and less-famously Red Kult. Confused? Well, [we all are](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qetW6R9Jxs4).

In all the confusion, Huse Monfaradi released the [infamous music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qetW6R9Jxs4) for Eric Prydz's Call On Me featuring Deanne Berry.

Twenty years later and it was time to pull that sample back out. There are young people who weren't around for the first time. With that, this track is a compilation/mash-up of no-less than 12 other tracks and samples (from Fisher to AVH). Most of the credit goes to [Mr Lasty from Italy](https://soundcloud.com/user-513870668) as large parts of the drum work and drop were his work.

This Clapcat version is compressed, adds the original Steve Winwood sample back in, has Armand's "U Don't Know Me" re-sampled and dropped in and chops things up so it sits in sets and compliments other tracks.


Call On Me

This mash-up of Cooly's Hot Box sample, Armand Van Helden's Funk Phenomena and Bleu Clair remix, a new drumline, lots of filtering, chopping and even the accapella resulted in this jackin' take on the long-ago original by AVH. I'm personally not a huge fan anymore, I think it might be too long and overuses the Cooly sample too much; alas, here it is nonetheless.
