I don't make a habit of casting the male/female dance of life in terms of war or sport metaphors … sexual conquest or the more common references to scoring … but, that said, if you score while listening to this BeatConscious babymaker, we definitely want to hear from you

The set comes rolling in loaded with smooth snuggly vibes from A Forest Mighty Black, Afterlife, Tosca, Lemongrass, B-Tribe, Kabanjak, Cantoma and Hefner, to name a few …

As usual, the crates rendered up some surprises that were overlooked when they were new but are sounding just right for today's set … this includes the title track from Naked Music-NYC's 1998 release What's On Your Mind? as well as 2005 releases from Parov Stelar and Sven van Hees. I also found a little gem called "Past Noon" by The Moves on the 2007 OM Music release Chilled.

And speaking of discoveries, I must highly recommend www.archive.org where I found a huge amount of music that I remembered from the original mp3.com library of tunes, especially stuff from Scandinavia's Miasmah group and independent artists like xhale … I spent my time in the netlabels section of the audio part of this site, where all the material is available under some form of Creative Commons license … the range of music is exceptional and well worth the time to check it out. New things waiting for me included the 3 Andromeda Island releases, and their "Green Garden" is featured in this set (this track originally came to my attention via hypenet, which I wrote about in this 2006 post).

And finally, one last Hefner tune, this time from 2000's Residue ("finally" maybe … after all, there's still "Fiendish") … the one I'm using here, "An Evening with Hefner", is such a mysterious track, all speaking in tongues paired with classic DT broken beats … it's like, if you just knew what they were saying, you'd have the answer to everything … a common misconception and, sadly, not confined to song lyrics … but that's another story entirely.

In the meantime, settle in and snuggle up … BeatConscious is ready to assist your moves ... as always, your money cheerfully refunded if you're not completely satisfied
