Bar culture gets an upgrade to 'Deluxe'.
Are bars the new clubs? Not quite, but it's safe to say that bar culture in Britain is now the envy of the world. It is perfectly apparent that today's bars contain the sort of classy, receptive and clued-up audience who once populated every dance club. The modern bar go-er is elegant and informed and has the expectation of a little luxury.
This is where Bargrooves comes in. It's a celebration of DJ and bar culture, featuring tunes that were made for the dance floor but work equally as well in more intimate surroundings, all curated and packaged exquisitely.
Remember that the Bargrooves series is music for your head, as much as for your feet, and captures the intimacy and warmth of your favourite bar in one cherry picked package.
The decadence quota is truly maximised by the inclusion of three CDs (and the digital equivalent) of music for three dazzling locations, the Deluxe Bar, the Deluxe Club or Deluxe Lounge.
Deluxe Bar plays the part of polished warm up with seductive female vocal grooves from Tracey Thorn, Nat Mor, Sy Smith and Jenn Mierau, plus the brand new Rocco Deep mix of the classic Diamond Life with Julie McKnight alongside deeper soulful sides from Quentin Harris, Jamie Jones and 2020 Soundsystem.
Deluxe Club hits the dancefloor with the Balearic anthem of 2010, Tensnake's Coma Cat (Round Table Knights Remix), a peaktime vocal workout from Sergio Flores and Joy Malcolm with Give It Back, Bargrooves very own Miss Divine with No Grace, Pete Tong's own remix of Rasmus Faber / Candi Staton's Wilder Side and the electrosexual flavour of Freeform Five's Perspex Sex.
Deluxe Lounge the vibe slows down just a little with some currently colossal slices of modern disco, some superb piano moments and further Balearica: Fishtank's The Eighty Eight, Hot Toddy's Down To Love, Azarri & III's Reckless With Your Love plus Lauer's Delta NRG. For pure unadulterated emotion that reaffirms the joy of music in the darkest reaches of even the coldest of hearts, check out Kaine's Love Saves The Day. You know there's someone out thereŠ
The CD version is unmixed for DJ-friendly pleasure whilst the digital version includes luxurious bonus mixes from the Bargrooves selector himself, Andy Daniell.
