Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

7. Mr. James Barth & A.DAbove The Skyline

When I first heard this one dropped early on a DJ mix from Daniel Bell that had very low BPM I thought "YES! I FOUND MY HOME." I still feel like that whenever I hear it, it is perfect for me, from that sub-bass and the floating stab and the drowsy vocal sample and the quirky top line dropping by regularly to where and when the drums go in and out and the drum production in general. Pure gold! thank you for the music, Cari Lekebusch.
