Everyone has those go-to songs that bring you to a better place, better time, or just put you in a better mood. And now, in the glorious age of YouTube, we can recreate those feelings and get to those moments with just a quick click. Alan Abrahams, also known as electronic dance music creator Bodycode, has assembled his 10 favorite YouTube music videos just for you.
1. Suicide – Dream Baby Dream – Mute
A song that personifies my ongoing state of mind in this life. My dreams are me, “like Alan Vega says in the track ” Hold onto one thing that means anything, you’re dream.”
2. E. G. Fullalove – Diva’s to the dance Floor please – Ministry of Sound
A classic for me in every sense. Released back in 1994 it still sounds fresh and carries along with it cloudy memories of dancefloors filled to the early hours. And the breakdown, in the middle, a hands in the air moment for all concerned!
3. Cajmere feat Daja – Brighter Days
Another track release in the same year, also the epitomising the feelings of bright expentency that was the age.
4. Liz Torres – Can’t Get Enough
This was one of the first vocal based tracks, released back in 1988 and set about the wheels of a music revolution that still continues today!
5. Beach House – Used To Be – Car Park
I stumbled upon this band during the cold winter months of my initial move to Berlin. And went out and bought everthing they ever released. Hailing from Baltamore, them and the barman who introduced me to them, stole my heart.
6. Toumani Diabaté – The Mande Variations – World Circuit Records
Toumani Diabaté is a kora master from Africa. This is from his first solo album in 20 years. I saw him live at a free open air concert during a steamy Lisbon summer night and was hooked.
7. Master C + J – Face it – State Street Records
Another pioneering release from 1987. A sparce and minimilist track in the right sense of the word and hauting vocals dumbed over crying, “Face it. Face it”
8. Master C + J – Dub Love – Trax Records
I first heard this track when I was a teenager and it played a huge influence on my current sound. Like so many of those tracks, they were and still remain timeless and fresh. Warped out into a time – frame all their own !
9. Glen Gould – Bach’s Goldberg Variations
I swear this comes up time and time again in my best of lists and it still is. It’s my morning music , Written for a merchant who had insomnia , I find this, one of Bach’s best, and played by master, Glen Gould, in he’s own right !
10. Bodycode – I Data – Spectralsound / Ghostlyinternational
From the conservation of electric charge,the video is simplistic at its best. A man just setting up he’s fishing apparatus to go fishing.
