It's true. I love Justin Martin. His track "The Sad Piano", released on Ben Watt's (aka Everything But the Girl) Buzzin' Fly label, is one of my favorite all time instrumental house tracks. He creates distinctly unique music that is both minimal and infectiously groovy at the same time. Enjoy.

Goodbye Horses
What ever happened to Q Lazzarus? And who were they in the first place?I assumed Q Lazzarus was a band, but apparently it's one lone songstress. I found this excerpt on Wikipedia:
"Q Lazzarus is known for having a husky bass voice not unlike Kathleen Turner. Before she was discovered as a singer, she worked as a taxi driver in New York City. The band dissolved at some point before 1996. Apart from Q, Mark Barrett and songwriter William Garvey, nothing is publicly known about the other band members."
Spooky. I wonder if Q resumed her taxi driving or found success elsewhere, perhaps as a ranch-hand. Anyhow, we can only ponder these strange thoughts and thank our lucky stars that we have "Goodbye Horses".

Who Needs Sleep?
I miss Benjamin Diamond. Remember "Music Sounds Better With You" and "Little Scare"? He was the guy singing in those tracks. His collaborated with Thomas Bangalter and Alan Braxe back in the golden era of French House. Funnily enough, he started out in a punk band called the "Chicken Pox".This mix features some of all stars of french house: Medhi, Switch, Bob Sinclar, Fred Falke...
