This month’s freebie is my own version of a track I absolutely love. Most people know The Brothers Johnson for the classic and very good track Stomp, but the true heads among us know that The Real Thing is where it’s really at. The original slaps plenty already with its dramatic strings and falsetto vocal, but I’ve beefed things up a couple of notches and added some breakdowns for dramatic effect. I’m so pleased with how this one has come out, and I’d love for you to download and enjoy. And yes, of course I kept the sax solo!

My name is DJ Craig Twitty.  I am from New York and have been a DJ since 1978.  Growing up in New York, I heard the sounds of legendary DJs, Tee Scott, Larry Levan, Frankie Crocker, Shep Pettibone, Tony Humphries, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Louie Vega, John "Jellybean" Benitez and the late John Robinson.  These DJs helped shape me into the DJ I am today.  Whether it was in a club, or listening to them on radio stations WRKS (98.7 Kiss FM/NY), WQHT (HOT 97/NY), WKTU (92KTU/NY), or WBLS (107.5/NY), it was the music they played and the way they played it that brought me to love the "music" that we call "HOUSE" today.

HORATIO & DANMDS – Sweet Paradise [Shodan Records]
Catalog: SRT301 | Release Date: October 24th, 2025
Genre: Techno / Melodic Techno
Early Support: Victor Ruiz, Carl Cox, Solomun, Sam Divine, Paco Osuna, Richie Hawtin, Don Diablo, Flash Brothers

“Sweet Paradise” is an emotional yet powerful collaboration between two producers who share the same vision of energy and depth in techno music — Horatio and DanMDS.
The release captures the essence of modern melodic techno: hypnotic arpeggios, emotional progressions, and a driving low end that resonates across big sound systems. Both the Extended Mix and the Instrumental Mix were crafted to satisfy different dancefloor moods — one euphoric and vocal-driven, the other more introspective and cinematic.

Already making waves in the international scene, “Sweet Paradise” received early support from heavyweights such as Victor Ruiz, Carl Cox, and Solomun, with additional plays across global radio stations including DI.FM, Radio Resonance, and Radio Coop Italy.

Critics described the track as “a coup de cœur,” “great melodic techno cut,” and “top-tier production,” highlighting the duo’s precision and emotional layering.

“Sweet Paradise” reaffirms Shodan Records’ position as a forward-thinking imprint bridging emotional resonance and techno power — a label home to sonic storytellers and timeless soundscapes.
