What is a house affair? Well, after two preceding affairs in the orbit, you should know what the fuss is all about. After Denis The Menace and Soul
Central, Francesco Diaz invites dj/producer legend Grant Nelson, notorious „Godfather of UK Garage“ and „Best House DJ“ (Urban Music Awards), to share his personal vision of inspired and inspiring music. House classics, surprising picks , and previously unreleased tracks all merge
into a highly entertaining and truly uplifting mix. Two dj sets, one arresting house affair. A blueprint for good music to make you feel good.
CD1 by Francesco Diaz: German dj/producer Francesco Diaz is currently surfing on a fantastic wave of success, with productions like „Human Animal“ or „Don’t You Want Me“ and his remix for Dahlback’s „Everywhere“. Known as house gourmet with a special knack for soulful grooves, he opens his mix with the beautiful cover version of Maroon 5’s „This Love“ by Dutch singer Megan Brand. Other highlights include Francesco Diaz &
Young Rebels’ powerful „When I’m Thinking Of You“ (scheduled for release on Nero, here as Norm’s Ride On Jamaica Dub) and Daniel Ortega „Inner Eye“ (Francesco Diaz Full Vox Remix). This brand-new atmosperic house anthem is followed by two classics, Grant Nelson’s staggering dance mix of Jamiroquai’s „Runaway“ and the bouncy Spinna and Ticklah club mix of Shaun Escoffery’s „Days Like This“. This amazing track was originally released in 2001 on Oyster Music/UK and is currently re-released on US label Giant Step. From Kings of Tomorrow’s heroic „Finally“ to Knee Deep’s sparkling „Darlin“ and Ida Engberg’s dazzling „Disco Volante“, Francesco Diaz pushes every trigger to pull you on the floor. Watch out, he’s viciously good. CD2 by Grant Nelson: After his exhausting 2007 dj world tour, Grant Nelson returned to the studio to work on his forthcoming album and future single projects. His appearance on House Affair 3 allows some insight of what moves this man who moves the masses. His superb mix of 20 tracks includes his wicked new single „Binaural Beat“ and showcases his amazing skills. Just check out how he mixes Groove Armada’s anthem „Love Sweet Love“ (taken from their 2007 album „Soundboy Rock“) and Son of Raw’s funky-techie rocket „A Black Man In Space“ and you know what time it is. Other highlights include his remix of Gaelle’s „Give It Back“. What this US songstress reveals about herself „I’m a glutton for emotion and a slave to sensation“ quite catchingly portraits Grant Nelson who rounds off his astounding mix with two perfect tracks. First, he makes you grin, wag and wiggle with Deadmau 5’s „I Like The Music“, then he takes the final lead with his exclusive special Grant Nelson version of Noir vs. Nu Rhytmix „All About Babylon“. Just listen to the man himself: „It’s all about house music. And it always will be.“ Tune in, surrender and celebrate!
