Summary: 2019 Dec Let there be (Stereo Sushi NYE Pt.1) house! Wishing everyone a good year in 2020. I know I need it! First part of House is a Journey & HeadCandi NYE party. The Soulful session. For real House freaks. I’ve included some recent cuts of house classics and veered off into some twisted souful and ghetto house. A couple of Ghetto house tracks might throw you out, indulge me. Starts with a 2018 David Penn remix of Peter Heller’s anthemic Soulsearcher’s “Big Love”. The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels. A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like. The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads. Eighth episode runs from 124 bpm to 125 but stays smooth. Playlist: 2018 Big Love (David Penn Extended Remix). Pete Heller's Big Love, David Penn 2019 Empty Streets (Jack Trades Extended Remix). Late Night Alumni 2019 Tell Me (Extended Mix). Sam Dexter 2019 You Change My World (FAM Disco Remix). Jamie Lewis, Marc Evans, FAM Disco 2019 Who Dares To Believe In Me (Extended Mix).

Dave Mayer & DJ Roland Clark Highlights: “Big Love” because it is and has always been a foundation track. “You Change My World” from Marc Evans because it will be one of the last track I shared with my previous life. “The Comeback” and “When House Was Young”, because Roland is a House legend who started the whole PA movement. A bientôt. Xtian
