Thank you everybody for your replies — private and public ones !
On first listen and once the «puretone effect» is over, all of these tracks
may sound pretty similar so it took me a bit of attention to understand why
i liked some of them and didn't care about others — hence this little memo !
To Albert, thanks for the link, which confirms that :
• our man has the groove under the skin
• nights are more suave in Barcelona !
You two guys (and cascading breakbeats behind) introducing the sesion sound
muy simpaticos — and the sensual Radio 3 jingle alone justifies the
listening !
Have a nice week-end, IDMers
