Johnny D - Believer

I've long been a fan of Johnny D's creations - it didn't initially sound like him to my ears as it is a more rounded house sound with occasional sampled diva snippets (pleasantly diva, nothing over-bearing), but the way it breaks down subtely and rises back up with gentle authority is so Johnny D and this is so loveable.

So so so good.

Johnny D – Leave Or Love Me

I cannot believe that I haven't listed this yet.

I absolutely love this tune, loads of ridiculously silly noises, crazy drumming and complete randomness, perfect for Mr Villalobos and it was indeed him who introduced me.  Such a great vibe to it.  Somewhere in between minimal and house.

Leland McWilliams - Mama Lola (Johnny D Remix)

Lots of strange noises.  12 minutes long.  Minimal.  Just like my sex life.

Paul C, Paolo Martini - Plug Me (Johnny D. Remix)

I love this for the Johnny D beats as I love pretty much everything he does, very bouncy and minimal but I am not convinced by the occasional bouts of rapping going “fuck all of ya” – maybe it might grow on me, but maybe I need a dub version of it!

Johnny D & Butch – Blues Shoes (Johnny D Mix)

Johnny D is a bit of a genius.  This is more like shakey-shakey house music, with lots of bizarre bits and some great drops, and just bumbles along brilliantly, I have admired his work for a long time, and he just keeps getting better.  Eritrea’s musical genious.

Salvatore Freda - Irpinia (Massimo Di Lena remix)

I have listened to this track three times in a row now, and my feet are merrily dancing away.  I hadn’t actually heard this track before I clicked play (which is unusual for good tunes given how many DJ sets I download and listen to), this seems to be a hidden gem of a jacking house track, lots of excitement going on in it and lots of reasons to get people on the dancefloor, and those on the dancefloor to make some moves, loving this!  And to think just 30 minutes ago I thought today had no significance…oooh!  Yum yum.

Johnny D - Point Of No Return

I have loved many tracks from Johnny D over the years and this is no exception, quite a simple house track
