everywhere…
September 29th, 2007just because I can’t play it out doesn’t mean I can’t celebrate it.
If you read this and enjoy soulful house music (my guilty pleasure),
I implore you to consider enjoying”Everywhere” by John Dahlback.
Mr. Dahlback is the swedish mastermind behind my favorite artist, Hug. The sounds of John Dahlback and Hug are so disparate, but he handles the dreamy, dark and jittery corners of techno as well as he does the vocal house variants.
so yeah… if you haven’t checked it out yet, get into it!
