This ’80s sounding song was recommended by my friend Brian S. The song by Miami Nights 1984 features some interesting synthesizer sounds. Check out “Ocean Drive” below or the full album on their Bandcamp site.

Every few years it seems like Daft Punk is out with another hit single off their latest album. I still enjoy listening to their 1997 release Homework. You probably have heard the singles “Around the World” and “Da Funk” off it so here is another one I enjoy from the album called “Revolution 909”.

Introduced to me by my friend Michael the group St. Germain has an cool album in the 2000 release of Tourist. My favorite song on the album is the one Michael first shared with me, “Sure Thing”.

One of my favorite songs I used to play when wrapping up the few New Year’s gigs I had was to play “My Friend” by Groove Armada. I chose this song because I always had friends that would help me out at the gig with the setup and tear down. So this one is for all those that help out friends when necessary.

My wife recently introduced “Galvanize” by The Chemical Brothers to me. Released in January 2005 on the Push the Button album, what I really like are the parts with the strings and the echo part with the word back.
