Morning

Morning comes. For some, the promise of a new day; for others, the end of an amazing night. Or is it? "Morning music" has a sound of its own. While gentle in one respect, it's still got enough punch, enough drive, to keep a crowd going long after the sun has risen. My first real understanding of "Morning music" came as I prepared to play REAL BAD in 2006. I knew what the sound was, but had never really called it "Morning music" before then. Lately, however, there's been a new sound emerging from a few producers that has, in my mind, epitomized "Morning music;" and while any of these songs would be equally at home at the beginning of the night or at the peak of a big set, I found bringing them together in this set to be an excuse to make some "joyful noise!" I may have used a couple of these tracks in previous podcasts, or you may wind up hearing some of them again; I try rather hard not to be repetitive. But then again, one of the things I want to do with "Press Play" is explore different themes and moods, so I hope you'll forgive me if the richness and versatility of these tracks inspires me to use them elsewhere. Without further adieu, then, I give you "morning," hoping your day is filled with happiness, beauty and love. Namaste.
