Let’s Cha(r)t: the back to back DJ sets becomes a virtual link to the link on the tube, the console takes the form of a chat and the gossip made in a pub in front of a beer turns into a chatter 2.0.

Song #1 Charles Bradley – The World (is going up in flames)

TIA: “Hey Cream, what’s up? I have a cool song for you, i know u’ll appreciate!!! This week I played in loop in my ipod this song. Charles Bradley is 62, and “No Time For Dreaming”, out on Daptone, is his debut album!!! Unbelievable he woke up so late, he seems come out from a 70s movie!!! He is an incredible singer, with a fantastica and warm voice. This song seems to celebrate the funk and soul music from the 1960s and 1970s … but it’s also so contemporary.”

Song #2 Magnetic Man ft Ms Dynamite – Fire

CREAM: “Hi dude… You’re right, the song is amazing … but Charles Bradley is dressed like my mechanic! The apocalitic title of the track gave me a link… THE FIRE, so i suggest u this track, it’s another genere but it’s a great! Magnetic Man is a new project of three guru of dubstep: Benga, Skream and Artwork, and in this track Miss Dynamite and her fantastic voice collaborate with them… and you know, i love live session!!!”

Song #3 The Roots – The Fire

TIA: “I pick up the challenge… MORE FIRE!!! Roots featuring John Legend… This video was directed by Rik Cordero and more than a clip is a little movie. Check it out!!!”

Song #4 The Fire – Small Town Boy

CREAM: “Man you break an open door!!! I love this song… and i love all their last album ‘How I Got Over’!!! But now, i move the FIRE from the track title to the band name… THE FIRE are and italian band. The leader, Olly, has a great voice and he is a great actor! You know, actually i don’t like cover song, but sometimes I make exceptions. Listen up: an 80s classic ‘Small Town Boy’ from Bonski Beat. in rock style.”

Song #5 Dead By Sunrise – Fire

TIA: “Long live Italy!!! I prefer this version than the original, ROCK ‘n ROLL! And talking about Rock ‘n Fire, I’m listening ot this track of ‘Dead By Sunrise’ that Paolino ( our bigfan =) ) suggest us. ‘Dead by Sunrise’ is an American rock band, it’s Chester Bennington’s’ side project (Linkin Park’s lead vocalist and songwriter).”

Song #6 Arcade Fire – We Used To Wait

CREAM: “In this period I’m not such in RnR mood… i prefer something more indie. Arcade Fire for example are in my mood… curiosity about this track, it was used for an html5 website testing (you know, i’m an engineer inside).
Try it: www.thewildernessdowntown.com.”

Song #7 Polock – Fireworks

TIA: “Cool website my dear engineer! And now… I wanna finish this chat whit Fireworks… and i’m sure this time u’ll agree with me!!! THE POLOCK is a spanish band, i don’t find news about them but this song burst like a fireworks!!!”
