44BEATZCAST 22:06
44BEATZCAST 22:06 blends disco-house warmth, trip-hop shadows, funk breaks and techno intensity over 134 minutes. It opens with The Unused Word & Trishes’ jazzy “Baby Johnson,” moves into Gabriella Cilmi’s soul-soaked “Sweet About Me (Ashley Beedle Vocal Mix)” and Kruder & Dorfmeister’s dub “Speechless (Count Basic).” Massive Attack’s classic “Safe From Harm (Perfecto Mix),” The Flaming Lips’ psychedelia in “There Should Be Unicorns” and Jungle’s radiant “Can’t Stop The Stars” punctuate this genre-spanning voyage.
The journey begins with “Baby Johnson” by The Unused Word & Trishes and glides into Gabriella Cilmi’s disco-soul on “Sweet About Me (Ashley Beedle Vocal Mix).” Kruder & Dorfmeister’s dub-layered “Speechless (Count Basic)” gives way to alt-J’s jagged remix “Fitzpleasure (Jim James ‘Apple C’ Remix)” before Bristol trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack ground us in “Safe From Harm (Perfecto Mix).” Dorothy’s blues-rock grit in “Gun In My Hand” and London Grammar’s introspective “Lose Your Head (Dave Glass Animals Remix)” lead to Sie’s haunting “Riders on the Storm (feat. Courtney Gray)” and Kavinsky’s neon noir on “Cameo (Breakbot & Irfane Remix).” Early moments close with deep “Love 2 Dub You,” Gwen McCrae’s soul in “Why Can’t We Live Together (feat. Timmy Thomas),” Marga Sol’s fiery funk “Poison & Passion” and Lovebirds’ modern disco “Icarus (feat. Galliano, JKriv Remix).”
Psychedelic echoes arrive in The Flaming Lips’ “There Should Be Unicorns,” then No Bones Records’ balearic drift on “Coral Beach.” ATFC steers floor funk via “Bad Habit (feat. Lisa Millett, Dr Packer Remix),” Gui Boratto offers emotive “The Walker” and Kariya’s “Let Me Love You for Tonight (House Club Version)” revives ’90s club culture. Moullinex’s “Hide & Seek” and X-Press 2’s “Light My Soul (Featuring Kissing The Pink)” deepen the groove, Shazam’s “Hello Cat” adds electro flair, Skeewiff’s “Man of Constant Sorrow” injects breakbeat soul, Broadcast’s “Tender Buttons” drifts dreamily and The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” brings modern pop-house energy. Ferry Ultra’s “Good Times (feat. Boris Jennings, Late Nite Tuff Guy Remix)” and Fiorious’s “I’m Not Defeated (12″ Mix)” sustain the momentum through disco-tech and vocal peaks.
The final stretch unleashes Blond:ish’s playful “No Place Like Gnome,” Liam Gallagher’s “Wave” for indie-electro contrast, Dino Lenny’s “Talk To Me (Dino Lenny & Damon Jee Mix)” and Lastlings & RÜFÜS DU SOL’s sunset trance “No Time (RÜFÜS DU SOL Extended Remix).” Purple Disco Machine’s “My House” and Delano Smith’s deep “I Fly” marry house and minimal techno, Ashley Beedle’s soul-jazz in “Alabama Blues (Ashley Beedle aka Black Science Philly Phunk Mix)” nods to acid-jazz, Layo & Bushwacka!’s “Let The Good Times Roll (12” Mix)” and “Shining Through” rekindle peak-time energy. TSHA’s “Sister” offers fresh garage, The Chemical Brothers’ “Got to Keep On” pumps breakbeat adrenaline, Ben Kim & LP Giobbi’s “Somebody To Love” uplifts with electro-house vocals, Sono’s “A New Cage (Justus Kohncke Mix)” deepens the mood, MEUTE’s marching techno in “The Man with the Red Face” surges, YACHT’s “Utopia (The Miracles Club Mix)” adds electro-pop sheen, The Diventa Project’s “Solala” fuses world percussion and Jungle’s closing “Can’t Stop The Stars” leaves a lingering glow. Across four decades of dance music, 44BEATZCAST 22:06 flows from warm grooves to hard-driving techno and back again.
