Sometimes
the middle of the party is the worst place
to focus—and particularly on the music. Your
eyes overwhelmed with a kaleidoscope of
callipygian excess, and your mouth moving a
mile a minute as you socialize with everyone
you haven’t spoken to since—at least
yesterday, and the cocktails are flowing and
the world is rolling and you’re dancing, to
be sure, but maybe with only one ear tuned
to the music.
And so it’s not until later—when a set is
released on a deejay’s website and dropped
onto your iPod—and you find yourself flying
at 38,000 feet—and then, only then, are you
really discovering the musical genius of a
party.
That’s how it’s been for us with Joe G.’s
Winter Party 2008 set from the 2nd of March
2008. Hearing it again, as if for the first
time, for four days straight in a hotel
room, and then home again, playing it over
and over—at the pool, on the balcony, and
when making dinner. It’s a perfect summer
soundtrack: upbeat and happy, with artful
transitions and thought-provoking segues.
It’s the sort of aural landscape that
pinpricks the memory and takes you back—to
the beach, to your last vacation, your last
cruise—and makes you raise your arms and
dance again in your kitchen, as you did on
the beach. Get happy; grab a download of Joe
G’s Winter Party 2008—and relive the journey
all summer long.
