This week, I decided to open up the show to the listeners. I put up a call for requests on the Dave's Lounge Facebook page and listeners pick the tunes they wanted to hear. Those tunes ended up forming a pretty solid mix, so I just got out of the way and let the music play. I'll be doing this sort of thing again toward the end of the year, when it's time to put together the 2009 Yearbook episode, so don't forget to make yourself a fan of this show on Facebook between now and then…

Dave’s Lounge #165: The Merge of Equals Special

Merge of EqualsI had a sense that Merge of Equals was capable of some great music after hearing their contributions to Cosmic Chill Lounge Vol. 3. What I didn't know, however, was just how many compilations featured Zurich-based producer Flavio Maspoli & Friends before then. No surprise, then, that their debut album, Intoxicating, does not disappoint. This is more than just a collection of tracks taken from compilations. Merge of Equals' music demonstrates a wide variety of emotions — a sort of versatility you don't usually see in downtempo. I think y'all are really going to like this album.
