’09 was a big year for New Yorker Luca Venezia (Drop the Lime). He released two huge club hits, “Devils Eyes” and “Set Me Free” becoming the “Most Blogged Artist on the Planet” according to Hype Machine. Luca took his unique style of DJing around the globe, crisscrossing North America many times as well as Europe, China, Singapore and Australia.

I was really looking forward to some new music from Andre and this song does not disappoint. Sounding very much like an old Rare Soul Groove (not sure which samples were used – sorry), his flow is impeccable and romantic in his unique “OutKast” way.
