AMY WINEHOUSE 14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011 - R.I.P.


Words cannot express the sadness... Amy was the brightest vocal talent in the history of all English female artists... There would be no Duffy, there would be no Adele, there would be no Jessie J or many others... 2 phenomenal albums, instant goosebumps causing voice, originality, uniqueness and stage charisma... R.I.P. Amy...





SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS: "Dein Schweiss" - Sven Väth



"Dein Schweiss" pre-millenium single from Sven Väth, one of German pioneers of techno, was one of my tunes of the year back in 1999. On a heavy rotation on Viva Zwei, my back then first source of new sounds, it gripped me instantly both musically with its harsh 'decadent electro' production and visually with its icicle cold shots.

SHREM'S GUILTIEST OF PLEASURES... VOL. 24: "LOVE WILL SAVE THE DAY" - Whitney Houston


Yes I've had this old Whitney gem on the loop the whole day. The year was 1987 and Houston was at her peak of conquering r'n'b and pop charts all over the globe... Gone are the days... Let's sing along you know you want to... "Sometimes life can make you crazy, it can really put your body to the test"...



CHOON OF THE DAY: "PAINTED EYES" - Hercules & Love Affair + Wolfram Remix



The first time I listened to Hercules & Love Affair's "Blue Songs", the opening "Painted Eyes" sounded like the strongest song on the entire album. The single's been available for quite some time at this stage but now we finally have the video directed by Untitled Associates too... As a bonus there's a remix by Austrian Italo disco re-inventor Wolfram who is simply returning the favour after Andy Butler & co featured on his "Fireworks" a few months ago...
