Our first release on our own label “all day i dream” is out. See the all day i dream section below for details.

Our second release on Cecille follows on from Wongel (which incidentally was the labels biggest release of 2010). OUT OF ORDER is out now as part of their summer sampler.

September 2011 saw the release of our first remix together of Ian Pooley’s “GROOVE ME”. Released on Ian Pooleys ‘Pooled’ music label it received plays from the visionquest boys. I like that!! The track, reworked into a melodic, dubby groover with a bassline that takes its sweet time to drop is somewhat reminiscent of something matthew johnson might unleash upon you (thank Mike Khourey for that comparison). Probably the biggest track of the day at the Leftroom/Culpret party at sonar this year (my memory is somewhat hazy!) it had dj’s running to the booth to inquire who it was by. It’s initial gentle nature is deceptive as the melodic stab holds the groove and strings slowly work their way into your consciousness.

Over and out (of order)!!

Upon writing this we have finished the first summer season of the ‘aLL dAy I dreaM’ parties in New York. Although I’ve played many of the tracks at club events over the past few years, I wanted to play a full afternoon of totally gorgeous, melodic, melancholic, pretty house music since making the ‘all day i dream of her’ mix three years ago.. Only playing music that actually evokes a certain emotional response. Music that can make you smile and even cry sometimes (there were actually quite a few tears shed at the parties which was very touching). I have to say that each of the four parties this year were totally amazing. If you went to one you will know what I mean when I say this. The party quickly became something that belonged to everyone. Something we made our own. So many people added to each one with simple things like the way they dressed, make up, small additions to the booth (i liked the Tibetan flags) and more. Even though we experienced the threat of bad weather, which would have made the party impossible to put on, somehow it never happened. The love and positivity that surrounded all day i dream seemed to keep the storms at bay and, on july 4th, even gave us one of the most amazing sunsets I’ve ever seen. By the end of the summer I realized after each event that my face actually hurt from smiling so much. My face actually hurt in August from the most intense toothache I’ve ever had but even this drifted away when I started playing. Music can be so powerful at times.
