With A Little Help From My Friends – II (Dynamicron Vultan)

Filed under: Livingroom Sessions, Podcast — Leave a comment
January 24, 2012

This mix is the second installment of a series of mixes that I intend to put together, featuring various edit and remix artists’ work.

This set features the edit work of Dynamicron Vultan, a Madrid, Spain based producer and dj. Dynamicron’s edit work covers a wide swath of styles, including AOR, synth-pop and disco, something that really speaks to my dedication to good music, as opposed to just one style or another.

To find out more about what Dynamicron’s up to check out Dynamicron and his label Los Grandes  that should have some interesting new things released during 2012.

Have a listen. With a little help from my friends, I’ll show you  some things you’ll recognize and some things that will be new…

Blank & Jones ft. Laid Back – Dreamers (Dynamicron Edit)
Led Zeppelin – Ten Years (Dynamicron Rework)
Exile – Kiss You All Over (Dynamicron Exclusive Edit for Musica Hermosa)
Barrabas – Lay Down On Me (Dynamicron Romanticron Edit)
Prince – Raspberry Beret (Dynamicron Edit)
Bryan Ferry – Slave to Love (Dynamicron Romanticron Edit)
Tina Turner & Barry White – Wildest Dreams (Dynamicron’s Never Ever Edit)
Jo Lemaire – Kingdom Of Sins (Dynamicron Palace Of Sins Edit)
Steve Bender – The Final Thing (Dynamicron Exclusive Edit for MLSelection)
Toy – Suspicion (Dynamicron Suspicious Edit)
AC/DC – Touch Too Much (Dynamicron Just For Metal Headz Edit)
