One more post from your favourite, award winning, Hampshire wedding dj on holiday in Fuerteventura. Life sounds better to music and taking a break has given me plenty of time to listen to plenty of favourites and discover new ones.

One more

I really loved Rae Morris’ 2015 debut album ‘Ungarded’ and I’m looking forward to her second album ‘Someone Out There’ which is due out early next year. Here’s one of the tracks she’s released already … ‘Do It’. CLICK HERE for her official site.

There are plenty of bars playing great chill-out here so it was no surprise to hear José Padilla’s “Adios Ayer” in the air as we enjoyed a café con leche. José Padilla is a Spanish DJ and music producer who has been resident DJ at Café del Mar.

Can’t tell you much about this one – oh how I love Shazam 😉
La Isla & Sylvia – Siento (Mahjong Extended Mix)

One of the radio shows I always listen to (usually on the iPlayer) is Trevor Nelson’s Saturday evening “Rhythm Nation” (CLICK HERE). It’s always worth listening right to the end, you never know what you might miss if you don’t! This was the last track on his 25th November show ~ Daniel Caesar’s “We Find Love” taken from his debut album “Freudian”.

Not long left here now so this may be the last of these posts … but then again we’re heading out to one of our favourite bars again today so you never know there may be one more 😉

Coming up next week a special Christmas songs post with no Michael Bublé, Pogues or Mariah!

Still Chillin’

So, I’m still chillin’. As I said last time, I’ve got 4G and a phone signal everywhere here so if you need me, or want to check a date, just get in touch.

Here’s a few more tracks from the soundtrack to our break in Fueretventura.

The really great thing is that (so far) we’ve not been bombarded with the usual Christmas music. We’ve also seen some great local musicians playing live.

We’ve got a TV in our room and I’m absolutely loving the BBC’s Christmas video with the school girl and her dad – great message and great to hear this track again! Clean Bandit are so clever – this is the tune of Christmas for me this year.

Another of our favourite bars is Reef on the front in Corralejo CLICK HERE. On one of our visits they were playing some tracks by a guy called Donavon Frankenreiter, he’s a protégée of Jack Johnson and also reminded us of John Mayer. A few tracks stood out including “Pass It Around”, “A Little Bit Of Riddim” and this one ~ “Bend In The Road”

I’ve also listened to a few more old episodes of Desert Island Discs including Ed Sherran’s from earlier this year. It’s well worth a listen CLICK HERE The one track Ed put above all the rest was Nizlopi “Flooded Quarry”. He explains how he became their guitar tech and the huge influence they’ve had on his career. I only knew them for the JCB song so it was interesting to hear Ed’s story. Here’s a video of Nizlopi doing “Flooded Quarry” at The Joiners!

Perfect for still chilling’ to is “Breath” by Télépopmusik. This was the debut single from the French dance music act and features guest vocals by Angela McCluskey. If you look very carefully you won’t see me in this video.

I’m still chillin’ for a few more days so maybe there’ll be another post.
