PDJ Year VIII – Playlist #19 – Take It Easy

PDJ Project Year VIII weekly releases.

Welcome to Pdjproject Year VIII selection.

This week’s playlist is inspired by “Relax, Take It Easy”, the debut single by British singer-songwriter Mika, from his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion.
In the UK, it failed to chart upon its original release, but after “Grace Kelly” topped the charts in January 2007, it managed to peak at number 67 on the UK Downloads Chart because of download sales.

This i shoew Mika described the story behind the song in an interview with the Sun Newspaper, on 2 February 2007:

“I always wanted to write a dance song that wasn’t a really full dance track, that felt organic. So when I came into producing ‘Relax’ I made sure that most of the sounds we used were actually made by real instruments. We used some great session musicians who had worked with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. And we picked up the strangest pedal combinations to get all these weird sounds. It’s really effective – you can’t tell if it’s a full dance track or really laid-back. It feels a bit weird electronically. The organic-ness gives a more classic field to it. So it was one of the harder tracks for me to produce, but also the most rewarding.”

In this playlist a powerful EDM version.

All for you, in pure pdj sound.
