Joshua Klipp gives life to L1FE
One of the greatest aspects of DJ’ing is the experience of interacting with people. By and large, that’s the audiences I play for, but from time to time, I have the great pleasure of meeting the people behind the music I promote and play, and it’s absolutely one of the great joys of being in this business.
I recently had the pleasure of exchanging some e-mail with Joshua Klipp, whose new song, L1FE, is a new entry on this week’s dance chart. The Jamie Sanchez mix is the one I’ve been spinning, and I really like the production work Sanchez put into it. But the lyric and the vocal are Klipp’s, and while the vocal styling might be seen as perhaps “boybandesque,” I really like the freshness of the sound with that vocal style overlaid on a dance beat. He sings from the heart, and you hear it in the performance.
Klipp says the song is particularly special to him, and when I listen to the lyric, I can understand why.
Give the sample a listen on his MySpace page, or take a peek at his web site to find out more about him, and see what you think.
Keep listening,
Wes
