Background series: Claptone - No Eyes feat. Jaw | Exploited

As my musical sense is developing and I understand many things differently tomorrow than today, then I started my next series of musical selection. Please say welcome to the "Background series".

What is a background music? I define it like this: it's peaceful, it may sound meaningful, there may be good lyrics or no lyrics at all. It should not catch too much attention. But still it should keep up and build slowly some positive, inspirational mood. To have a good party - we need inspiration as well. Inspired people make cool and interesting things. And parties are interesting and memorable, when people do cool and interesting things.

Is background music bad? The definition sounds like "kinda pointless stuff that nobody cares about, keeps away this weird silence". It's not definitely like that. Sometimes we do not want to build or develop anything, we just need good and melodical sound with some nice vocals too. So here it is, my "Background series", starting with this beauty:


Disclaimer: my opinions here are personal and not trying to convince anyone. These opionions may already change tomorrow after the first test of the track on the dance floor :)

Warmup series special: Kings Of Tomorrow featuring April 'Fall For You' (Sandy Rivera's Classic Mix)

When I heard that Sandy Rivera is going to record a music video in my home country's capital Tallinn, I was curious and blessed. And I was even more blessed, when I heard and saw the result:


What a nice girl track :)

Warmup series: Rudimental - Waiting All Night Feat. Ella Eyre (Clean Bandit Remix)

I think it is a perfect warmup tune. Sweet vocals on top of minimalistic but powerful sound production. Have a listen:

Warmup series: Adam Port - Black Noise

Found this track while shopping, and somehow it got stuck in my head. The producer of this track has managed to create some unique sound and vibe in it. Initially I found the KiNK mix (which is super awesome):


And when I find a track that is actually a remix, then I am of course interested in the original one, so here it is:
 

Warmup series: FCL - It's You (San Soda's Panorama Bar Acca Version)

Found this track when I clicked a link that Defected posted to Facebook. Perfect warmup tune, very minimalistic but it hides lots of emotions inside. When I listened it, I imagined at least 3 different places and situations where this track would bring out various emotions from different people.
Thank you FCL for this masterpiece, will definitely try it out in some lounge or a dance floor.

Warmup series: Rachel Row - Follow The Step (Kink Mix)

As I already shared another remix of this track before, I'd like to share this one too. I think all versions of this track are just amazing. Each one of them brings out something memorably good in this song. I was thinking once that maybe the song itself makes all remixes so good?
Let's follow the step and listen to the Kink Mix:

Warmup series: Miguel Migs & Shades Of Gray - Let Me (Salty Dub)

 When it comes to building a good vibe in a DJ set, we need something really good, something that stands out, something that has some unique sound and repetition, enough speed and length. Just listen to this another masterpiece by Miguel Migs:

Ooooooh, what a vibe! Can you feel it?
