Burning Ears 4
Back with a summer splash Burning Ears Part 4 follows below and watch out for more music orientated content as billshakes.com goes under musical refurbishment, it just seems like the right thing to do:

I’m always dubious and protective about the greats and their work being remixed however when executed respectfully and tastefully I have no problem at all with the modern “edit” which some deem as outright blasphemy.. Lets face it, all music is sampled and re-constructed is some way or another to create something new and original.

I heard this for the first time last month on two separate and strange occasions and was blown away, what an awesome cross genre track. Groove Armada’s Tom & Andy also included it on their 2008 Late Night Tales Mix which is a marvelous selection of alternative nocturnal listening that is almost as good as their first mix of this ilk a few years back now on Another Late Night

I had been trying to track this down for many years and didn’t know the name for a long time and once enlightened I always managed to procure the wrong mix UNTIL NOW! Perhaps it sounds dated and a tad novelty heavy with it’s sinister church bells but it reminds me of being lost in the acid rave and I love it’s dark undertones which were perfect for those warehouse environments full of evil clowns.
Rio Rhythm Band – Carnival de Casa
Last but most I pay tribute to a recent loss of one of the original house music greats who very sadly passed away recently. Ian Loveday (aka EON and many other monikers) was a big influence on many of my friends and I when we first cut our club teeth and was a lovely bloke and will be deeply missed. Below is one of my personal faves from his many productions, I wish I had some of his DJ sets to share..
Right you are then, Burning Ears Part 5 will follow soon, this weeks labor of love is now complete..x
