44BEATZCAST 25:10
44BEATZCAST 25:10 spans 96 minutes of seamless genre-blurring, from trip-hop and soulful house to funk, acid techno and indie-rock inflections. It opens with Massive Attack’s classic “Safe From Harm”, moves through Small World’s bright house “Livin’ Free” and Ella Fitzgerald’s jazz-house “Angel Eyes (Layo & Bushwacka Mix)”. You’ll hear Paolo Nutini’s rock-soul “Scream (Funk My Life Up)”, The Verve’s anthemic “Bittersweet Symphony” and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss’s rootsy duet “Rich Woman” before diving into electronic explorations by Tim Deluxe, Joey Negro, Fresh, Majestic and Derrick May.
It opens with “Safe From Harm”, flows into Small World’s “Livin’ Free” and Ella Fitzgerald’s “Angel Eyes (Layo & Bushwacka Mix)”. Jamaican Reggae Cuts bring “Summertime” to Paolo Nutini’s “Scream (Funk My Life Up)”. Fantastic Negrito’s “A New Beginning” and The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” soar before Monsoon’s “Wings Of The Dawn (Prem Kavita)” leads to Plant & Krauss’s “Rich Woman”.
Tim Deluxe’s “Transformation” pulses into Joey Negro’s “Man Of War (Henrik Schwarz Remix)”, then Fresh, Majestic’s “Jazzy” and Carlita’s “Fell In Luv”. Diephuis’s “Im Nin’ Alu” weaves mystic tones and Musumeci’s “No More Trust” follows. Luis Radio’s “Kora Kora” and Aquarius Heaven’s “Just Like Magic” shimmer before Gat Décor’s “Passion (Naked Mix)” and Derrick May’s “Strings of Life (Tom Middleton Remodel)” close this stretch.
Peter Brown’s “Funkosphere” revives disco-funk, Berny’s “Vikingo Disko (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)” filters space-disco and Bakey’s “DON’T STOP” ignites. Posthuman’s “The Fixer” pounds, Co-Fusion’s “Logical Cybernetics”. CJ Bolland’s “Fire” blazes acid. Laurent Garnier revisits his roots in “Back To My Roots (Back To My Technodiziak Roots mix)”, Nathaniel S’s “Voices” and Dharma’s “Gracie” calms things down before Jamie Finlay, Kemani Anderson & Ellen Beth Abdi sign off with “Destroy Create”.
