Feel-good piano riffs are featuring heavily in dance music once again. Take, for example, Australian producer Nicky Night Time'supcoming effort 'Everybody Together' - a joyous, hands-in-the-air serving of dance music with an epic Chicago house piano riff to boot (listen below). The track is already finding its way into the record bags of many a top tier DJ (including Annie Mac, who aired it on her BBC Radio 1 show over the weekend) and is bound for fist-pumping festival moments this summer.
In anticipation of the release of 'Everybody Together' on July 11, we asked Nicky Night Time to share with us ten of his favourite tracks that feature gorgeous piano hooks. As you can see from his selections, the spirit of acid and Chicago house is still alive and well in dance music today.
1. Axel Boman - 'Fantastic Piano'
2. Shadow Child & Doorly - 'Piano Weapon'
3. Paul Woolford – 'Untitled'
4. Utah Saints - 'Something Good 08’
5. MK feat. Alana - 'Always (MK Area 10 remix)'
6. Carte Blanche - 'Jack On The Moon'
7. Friend Within feat Pete Josef - 'The Work'
