Christian Prommer at Ten Days Off – Ghent, Belgium 2008

The charts are back. Making a long awaited return. This week, the big favourites have been Luciano’s Fabric Mix and Christian Prommer’s DrumLesson. I had the fortune of seeing Prommer in Belgium earlier this year – highly recommended. Yes, they’re a cover band, and they do jazz/salsa/cuban-beat interpretations of some of electronic music’s finest moments over the years. Before you cringe, have a listen, as you’ll probably be quite surprised. The intrepretations are thoughtful, clever and bum-wiggling as well. “Strings of Life” is one of the tracks they cover, and whilst you may have heard that horrid version that was dished out on 23 different Ministry of Sound CDs over the last two summers, at least give this one a chance as it’s good, no very good.

And on to the top listening chart:
