Originally released on Guidance (quite the label) in 1998 (quite the year), we recently found this little nugget in the dusty bins at halcyon the shop. Utilizing a winning combination of a nice, tough beat, a funky, live-sounding bassline and vintage, soulful male vocals, this one got my feet tapping and pulled at my heartstrings all at once, just like the best tracks always do. The original sample is from Vance and Suzanne's "I Can't Get Along Without You", but Brother of Soul (aka Brooklyn's own Paul Hunter) appears to have laid down his own vocals here. It's the type of deepness that's dirty and classy all at once; not an easy feat for a producer, but Paul achieves with ease. A furthering of the Guidance legacy, as well as my own collection. Can not wait to drop this properly at a party. - Nathaniel Jay

You've heard the saying before. These words of wisdom, "don't forget to go home," were coined by London/Berlin based DJ-producer, Ewan Pearson. It's the smartest piece of advice (in our opinion!), for surviving in the city that never sleeps...When one party quickly turns into the "afterhours" then into an after after party (and so on...), you can lose your mind (we've all been there). So in order to keep the fun going, we have to go home eventually. But this certainly doesn't mean stay home. Sleep, eat, regain your sanity and you'll be good in no time for another wild round...
A little dose of the good stuff. At Don’t Forget to Go Home, we comb the web, music archives, magazines and record stores for the best of music (new and old), fun and interesting articles, fabulous mixes and news...here we bring you a little dose of our findings to perk up your day.
