I AM’s 7th birthday event / Free before 23:30 guestlist sign up
Who’d have thought it? 7 years old, 364 I AMs, ain’t that something. There’s no chance they’d have believed you if you’d said to them 364 weeks ago that I AM would still be doing it 7 years down the line. Thank you from the I AM & Sub Club to everyone who has danced, PR’d, DJ’d, or contributed in anyway shape or form over those 7 years.
But what’s it all about? The music. Over to Beta & Kappa for 7 tracks.
BETA’S SEVEN
Patrick Bishop – Un (Tuff City Kids remix)
Ne Noya – Cos-Ber-Zam – Daphni Mix
JD Twitch – Maya
Way Out West – Tuesday Maybe (I:Cube’s Sunrise Remix)
rRoxymore / Oni Ayhun / Aquarian Jugs / Jaguar Woman – DR1-1
SCNTST – Thru Infinity
KAPPA’S SEVEN
Underground Resistance – Timeline
The first twelve inch I ever purchased may before i AM existed. So good I ended up with three copies and always play it when I’m struggling to settle nerves or i’ve played too much shite. Most addictive instrumental ever, still love it as much as I first bought it.
Gigi D’Agostino – Amorelletronico
My current favourite and most requested I.D. Now you all know and I’ll have to stop playing. Kidding on it’s getting played five times a week until you beg me not to. Not new but not “old” for synthy Italo. Pure Euphoria.
Kings Of Tomorrow – Finally
Wow. I have such an affinity for heartfelt vocals. There are so many I could pick but this has been closest to my soul and played out the most perhaps.
Denis Sulta – A.A.S. (Nite & Day Mix)
Our pal, Hector. He’s made so much great music but I have to pick just one.
Michna – Real Hero
Probably my most played instrumental track on a Tuesday. Some great tracks seem to skim over the crowd and pass them by but I feel with this, it has an impact every time. So simple and short and perfect.
Daft Punk – Voyager
The undisputed best Daft Punk Track. I’ve played most of their back catalogue out over the years but this has long long been my favourite (tho Revolution 909 is v v v close and yes Homework is the better album) and gets mixed unashamedly over anything that even half goes. It’s like mayonnaise. Or even better. It will be played at Enter Tron forevermore.
Celestial Choir – Stand On The Word
Not remixed by Larry Levan at all. This song is an enigma and was the last track played on the very first night back in 2010. It’s also my final pick here, bar a few bonus tracks I’ve included below. There are many others I cant think of right now. See you at the birthday party…
Secret Bonus track
My favourite song from my fave singer of all time. I confess I sneak it underneath a lot of music cause it’s hard to play out itself. Quite often paired with Carl Craig’s “Angel (Caya Dub)”
Billie Holiday – The Very Thought Of You
