Our theme today is chill-out tracks. Let's begin, shall we?
Most of you may know of Romanthony from his collaboration with Daft Punk ('Too Long', of course!). For those of you who don't know (and you should!) Romanthony is also a prolific house producer in his own right. A lot of his stuff is hard to find; I was lucky to score this for $5 in an East Village record shop. From 1998's "Romanthony EP", "Together" is a glorious laid-back anthem of house. It's simple and lovely, and Eve Angel's smooth vocals round out the track nicely. I want to drive around Hollywood at night with this track blasting from my Rolls Royce, you know?
Now that we've achieved mellow, let's keep it going...
Bob Sinclar may have copped the vocal for 1998's "Vision of Paradise", but the original by Island Noyze Productions is supreme in my mind. The hypnotic vocals combined with the tranquil bass and rhythm guitar bring you to an island kingdom where half-naked men in loincloths serve you grapes and fan you with palm leaves, all while dancing erotically in a circle to a conga beat.
...Oh, and the discreet-as-hell Bob James sample is pretty cool too.
From the super secret vault of house goodness that is my bedroom...
