DAVOS X SAMATH FT MALI MAE "NOW I FEEL IT"

This is the set we've been playing out in 2017, most recently at Glade stage Glastonbury and Beat-Herder. As ever, it's a backing track I wrote and recorded at Studio 3 Collective in Blackpool with the piano and string lines performed live in one take, just as I do on stage. The tracks are all sourced from my years as a raver in the North West UK between 1988 and 1993, though I have taken a little artistic license in their re-creation. This is a FREE download, please help yourselves, and if you like the tracks, go hunt out the originals and tell their producers how great they are, because they really are. :)

Here's the playlist:

Ralphi Rosario - An Instrumental Need / Shades of Rhythm - Everybody
Soft House Company - What You Need
Monica Deluxe - Move to the Music
Last Rhythm - Last Rhythm
Asha - JJ Tribute
Smallage - Together
FPI Project - Risky / Back to My Roots
T-Coy - Cariño
Orange Lemon - Dreams of Santa Anna / Renegade Soundwave - Phantom
Inner City - Pennies From Heaven
Kid n Play - Too Hype
Hyper Go-Go - High
Bug Kann & The Plastic Jam - Made in Two Minutes
Esther B - Pleasure of the Music / Herbie Hancock - Rockit
4 For Money - It's a Moment in Time
Void - No Stopping
Sterling Void - Runaway Girl
Tom Salta - New Generation
Electric Choc - Shock the Beat
Fast Eddie - Can U Dance
FPI Project - Everybody
Lee Marrow - Pain

Enjoy. Big Love. Davos xx

LIVE PIANO HOUSE CLASSICS MASH-UP 2017

This is my remix of 2 Bad Mice's 'Gone Too Soon'. I sessioned the piano lines for the original, but have revisited it to add more pianos and orchestration. It's not been decided whether this is going to get a release yet, so for the time being you can hear it here.

The original version of Gone Too Soon can be found on the EP 
available here: 
https://sneakersocialclub.bandcamp.com/album/2-bad-mice-gone-too-soon-ep

Thanks to Paul, Sean and Si from 2 Bad Mice :)And respect to DJ Faydz for the awesome scratchery.

2 BAD MICE- GONE TOO SOON (Davos VIP Piano ReMix)

This is my current live set for 2018, backing track produced and recorded at home, with the live pianos and synths played in one take, just as I do live. All the tracks have been built from scratch, sourcing original samples just as the originals did when they wrote the tracks, vocals are acapella samples, some beats are sampled loops, everything else is played and recorded from scratch.

The track selection is inspired by my days trolling around the Blackburn Warehouse parties, Monroes, Shelleys, Shaboo, Frenzy at Sequins, Bowlers and many a house party between 1988 and 1995. 50 tracks in 50 minutes. Value for Money.

Hope it takes you right back there for a bit. Gotta love the old skool. :) :)
