Free Download: Jessie Ware - Tough Love (Dave Kudera Edit)

Jessie Ware's too-good-to-be-true single Tough Love is easily one of the top three best songs of the year in our book. That minimalistic 80's Prince feel and raw emotions in a flawless falsetto does things to us for sure. The album with the same name drops later this year and we cannot wait! Near future - come to us! Luckily Seattle based DJ Dave Kudera has done a perfect edit that adds an awesome club feel to it - that drum machine is so hot! The added bassline is stellar too and we've added this bootleg to our on repeat list; how could you not? Grab the .mp3 below and enjoooy!    

Free Download: Prince - Controversy (Space 25th Birthday Edit)

Prince's 1981 single Controversy from the album of the same name is an exercise in perfection. Over a mad funky beat that simply forces you to move he touches on subjects that were discussed about him at the time. Was he white or black? Straight or gay? Oh, the controversy! Not to mention he recites The Lord's Prayer in full making people scream blasphemy. Hearing this in 2014 it's amazing to see how far we've come, but also just how much things are still the same... From a musical perspective it's clear where Daft Punk got their crazy rhythm from. And from a social perspective we are absolutely wild with the fact that this song discusses politically charged topics over that superb dance beat - and tells people to relax, we're all the same - let's play. This re-rub by Ibiza based DJ Paul Reynolds extends the goodness into an almost 10 minute piece of heaven playing like the classic 12". It's made for legendary Ibiza club Space's 25th anniversary and it's easy to hear why they've been awarded "Best Global Club" at the International Dance Music Awards four times in the last 9 years. We have to go there next summer for sure! Full lyrics here btw!     

Free Download: Sade - I Never Thought I'd See the Day (L-Vis 1990 Sunrise Edit)

Sade Adu's voice is one that will follow us until the end of time. Her way of expressing, what comes across like, the core of love and the sweet sorrow it can bring is unparalleled. I Never Thought I'd See The Day from 1988's Sade album Stronger Than Pride is a fantastic exercise in restraint. Over a sparse beat major hurt unravels and the lonesome saxophone bleeds love all over it. What has gone down could easily be an emotional belter of a song - instead we get almost a lullaby. NYC based producer and DJ L-Vis 1990 adds amazing sounds and we're going crazy over here. The gentle nod that something is about to happen, and then the beat kicks in and makes us weep. Top marks! Download below. Enjoy! 

I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay...

Paft Dunk - Got Lucky (Dimitri From Paris Re-Edit)

We love Dimitri From Paris mixes and re-edits and here's another one! Paft Dunk styleee and it's safe to say after hearing this track about two million times in the last year we indeed Got Lucky many a time, haha. It never loses its fresh shine though! Dimitri has selected all the grooviest parts from the album mix and all the official remixes and done a super version. There's even some iconic bells from Niles Rodgers' classic Chic band's I Want Your Love. So hot! Enjoy! Hot illustration by Grarg.
