Love this, Russell…impeccable vocals, my friend.

I almost changed the title of this mix when I read the dictionary definition of smirk and reacted to how negatively it came across. Not at all what I was aiming for. But I'm sticking with my gut and will clarify. To me, the smirk that this mix reflects is a smile of playful energy, an expression of knowing that the smile is shared, a grin from the inside. And there are definitely some bigger tracks in here than my mixes typically contain, more epic, more sweeping. Hope you enjoy them.

Mark Slee - Spring Fever: Smirk [May 2014]

A song in French on the perils of procrastination when trying to attract your crush's attention... 

Lyrics:
Si je t'en disais plus, je serais obligé
de te faire disparaitre ou bien de t'embrasser
en attendant contentons-nous donc d'un regard
et pour le reste eh bien on verra ça plus tard
demain est un autre jour mais ce sera toujours
trop tôt pour ma confession demain est un autre jour
sans qu'on fasse le tour de cette satanée question

j'amerais bien te dire de très jolis mots bleus
qui ouvriraient la porte du palais des cieux
mais si jamais je devais prendre en pleine face
le poids du malentendu ça laisserait des traces
demain est un autre jour peut-être le tour
de plus qu'une conversation demain est un autre jour
ce sera peut-être un four ou peut-être une révélation

toutes les idées folles que j'ai dans la tête
sont encore assez loin d'être tout à fait prêtes
ensuite il faudra trouver le juste moment
la conjonction lunaire, le bon alignement
c'est vrai qu'après tout qu'est-ce que j'ai donc à offrir
qui soit assez tentant pour capter ton sourire?
je ne suis sans doute pas assez vaniteux
pour avoir le cran de te faire mes aveux
demain est un autre jour je te dirai bonjour
on se claquera la bise sans façons demain est un autre jour
un compte à rebours qui n'a pas de conclusion


Demain Est Un Autre Jour

This is a purely orchestral track. It has been made with the intention of evoking emotions and make travel through the mind.
 I hope all of you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Fancy Human is the only known deep house label in East Dulwich. Peckham, it’s near neighbour may well be more highly celebrated with it’s thriving label, artist and record shop community, however, in East Dulwich you can get artisan sour dough bread for a fiver, so who’s the winner there then? I think you know the answer.

Leaving the ongoing feud with Peckham aside for the moment, next on Fancy Human we have ‘Nuggets Of Displeasure’, deeptrippinhypnohousin’ from our very own Leigh Morgan. Three cuts to warm the cockles of any artisan deep dough lover.

*Mastered by Atjazz

Juno: "Less than six months on from his last solo outing, Leigh Morgan returns to the Fancy Human label he co-founded back in 2015. The experienced producer seems to be getting better with age, and it's heartening to report that Nuggets of Displeasure is one of his strongest EPs to date. The title track sets the tone, with looped organ stabs and gorgeous piano flourishes sitting astride a fuzzy, saucer-eyed deep house groove. As the title suggests, the rolling "Cosmic Log" is a more spacey and heavily electronic affair, with Morgan smothering the undulating rhythm track in fluttering, off-kilter chords. Arguably best of all, though, is closer "Oddly Modern", a kind of tropical house/deep house fusion that comes complete with vintage tech-house touches and a melancholic melody line."
