There’s something about people like Bangalter who can make a 10min track not seem like a farce. Having found this track again tonight it reminded me of the elements that make house great for me. A killer sample, some powerful backing, and those classic house drums that just thump along.</span></p> <p><span>As my trip to Europe comes closer I have been going through a lot of old house music from pioneers of the french sound, italian funky house, early UK electro house (Coburn, Dr. Kucho, So Phat! etc.) and a few other sounds that have a soul at their core like this track does. Though I think big changes in sound can often be wanky this sort of ‘back to basics’ house sound is something I think I will be focused on more than ever when I return at the end of the year.</span></p>http://www.djbricksta.com/post/751782513http://www.djbricksta.com/post/751782513Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:33:32 +1000TogetherSo Much Love To GiveThomas BangalterDJ FalconJuly Gig Dates- up now!: I have just put up all my dates at Academy for this month up, however this...http://www.djbricksta.com/post/748379708http://www.djbricksta.com/post/748379708Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:00:27 +1000GigsBrickstaBricksta Blogged on In The Room: It was a pleasant surprise to find a writeup on two of my tracks on...http://www.djbricksta.com/post/734242354http://www.djbricksta.com/post/734242354Fri, 25 Jun 2010 21:12:00 +1000Steve Lind (AKA Spenda C) - Party & Bullshit Mixtape : This is the best party mix I have ever heard....http://www.djbricksta.com/post/733883852http://www.djbricksta.com/post/733883852Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:52:23 +1000Steve LindSpenda CDJ Mix                         Disco/French Touch/Funky House/Indie-Dance.

Apparently Jesse Rose is now a part of Solid Groove so hopefully that means a lot more material with two stellar producers on board.
