2014 March More Happy Pills




House is a Journey show

Summary: More Happy Pills....Follow up of previous Happy Pill. Proviso: Been sitting on this Intro for a while, thought it fitted the Happy Pill Theme.. By no means am I NOT taking mental health as a serious issue. It simply is! Directly or indirectly, we all have had some experience of how tragic, debilitating or simply sad, mental health issues are. This being clarified, we still can have a little smile about it.   Except for the intro (it’s been a long time I have used a little intro sample due to wife’s constant disapproval J), this set is a direct cut from a set I play a fortnight ago for a few friends on our deck. Another dose of Soulful, happy house tunes to wrap up the Australian summer. I handpicked the tunes, most of them are very current and my favourites producers are there. It also marks the time where I have to distance myself from Soulful House and revisit a more progressive, darker, more challenging musical landscape. I should re-upload next week, therefore stay tuned.   Playlist: Intro MH Hotline 2014 The Truth (Original). U-Ness, Jed Sed & Samson Lewis 2013 Everybody Wants Something (Joey Negro Strip Mix).

Reunited   Highlights:   This section will not be as exhaustive as usual but please do pay special attention to the following tunes.   “Truth” from my current favourite House Producers and Label U-Ness, Jed Set on Soulheat records.. Their Miami 2014 sampler compilation is out, run on Traxsource and buy it.   Joey Negro’s Everybody Wantts Something.. Classic Joey’s Happy tune, easy listening.   Two tunes featuring the immensely talented vocalist Andrea Love.. “Running to Love”, which if it weren’t for my connection to U-Ness would have headlined the set and “More Love”. Richard Earnshaw, Maurice Joshua, Mike Dunn and Steven Stone: make no mistake, this is current Soulful House royalty!!!   OtherSoul’s Little Bootleg « La La La ».. When I played it, I noticed an eleven year old girl grooving to it, realizing that I may not have known the tune but she certainly did. I have been using a lot of OtherSoul’s Soundcloud remixes lately. Two talented producers from Spain, check them out.   The Shane D remix of “Caribbean Queen”.  Notwithstanding the initial reaction of people close to me, of the “oh come on, not this” sort, I can share one thing with you: they were ALL humming it…   As for “Sing It Back”.. well it is… “Sing It back” and for the purpose of More Happy Pills. I will never grow tired of it.. Also it was a throwback of my NYD set (still struggling to decide whether worth the upload), which ended with a mega Xtian Edit of this very tune..   Hope you got the full dose of More Happy Pill, for the next one will be less sweet...   Enjoy, à très bientôt!   Xtian
