André Rieu - And The Waltz Goes On

i know this might not be everyone cup of tea, however it is with works like this, that we can appreciate the hidden talents that aren't always discovered. This is a piece that Anthony Hopkins wrote 50 years ago, in a time before he was an established actor. Bravo!!

Why I Came 2 California - Young Pulse




Anyone who knows me knows how much I love this track. Adding a bit of extra sparkle top this boogie classic, Young Pulse beefs up the groove with some dance floor fire from kicks that don't go too far as edits like this tend to do, and some nice little extra claps, hi-hats and guitar licks that are sure to have you shuffling in your chair or walking with some extra bop in your step.
