I'm a happy man because every other week I get touched by a tune or a record so deep my soul jumps with joy. This one here is one such beauty: "Play the Game" by MIDLAND, an artist I besiege you to buy every release you see his name on without hesitation. Deep, House, Dubstep, Breakbeat in a Detroit vibe. I'm screaming out loud - this is absolutely essential!

Often too late for "new releases", often too busy for playlists or annual best -lists, I'm introducing this format: Essential Music - the best in music I've come across recently or that's inside my head for whatever reason - in no particular order or genre. Please SUPPORT THE ARTISTS and BUY their music.
