Track of the Day: Santé- Ghostwriter
Today we are going to explore one of the tracks that Mr. Puzl chose for this weeks mix that he and I put together this week. I asked him to choose his favorite that he mixed in and he chose the first song of the mix as opposed to the last which I touched on yesterday. Santé is another artist that is new to our track of the day selections. One that is probably long overdue. 'Ghostwriter' released about a month ago for Saved Records was the perfect track to get us started for this weeks mix. With an infectious groove and a thumping kick this track gets the party started pretty quickly. Shortly after Santé introduces a phat stabbing bass line that he plays with wonderfully in the mix while throwing in some floating synth pads and a really funky cowbell for some added style. The vocal track is pretty funny too. Pretty true when you think about it. No wonder all my DJ and producer friends are always staring off into space while I'm talking to them.German born producer Santé from Berlin is another artist making waves in the extremely vibrant house scene there right now. It is almost as if some one took Detroit from the 80's and 90's and just plopped it in the heart of Berlin. Don't get me wrong Berlin has always had a strong electronic music scene among all genre's but there is something bigger happening there right now thanks to people like Santé. He is not just your run of the mill tech house producer. With his burgeoning label Avotre he is exploring many different avenues in his music from house and tech house to hip-hop and R & B and even some amazing downtempo stuff as well. Santé has a pretty impressive catalog of releases out side of Avotre as well. Seeing his skills garner releases with Hot Creations, Viva, Moon Harbour, Saved, Get Physical and the list goes on for quite a while. He keeps a pretty busy touring schedule as well. With stops all over the world and at some of the summer biggest festivals. Looks like he is going to be in our neighborhood very soon as well. At Bang Bang in San Diego on Jan 30th and at the new Monday Night Social on Feb 1st. Hoping to be in attendance for the latter of those. Check out some more of his music on his SoundCloud page there is enough music and mixes there to keep you going for a few days at least.Mr Puzl and I recorded a fun Back 2 Back mix live for you this week to commemorate our upcoming 3 Year Anniversary featuring Manik and Sacha Robotti.
