Since Love Come Down's inception 3 years ago, there's been a handful of songs that we keep coming back to again and again – and for only one reason – they always get such a great reaction from you guys.
As we approach the Love Come Down Halloween All Nighter at Styx next Friday, we thought we'd collect the top 5 Love Come Down anthems and explain what makes each one so special.
1. Dimitri From Stoke-on-Trent 'I Wanna Be Your Lobster'
This one is a no-brainer. After the obvious one, this is our second-placed party-defining anthem – and our official confetti song. Great job on the white label edit from the surreptitiously named 'Dimitri From Stoke-on-Trent', combining a technically incredible live Prince performance with the original. If you hear the crowd noise at the beginning of this and you're NOT on the dance floor, what are you doing?! Absolute stone cold banger. RIP Prince.
2. Thelma Houston 'Don't Leave Me This Way' (Love Come Down Edit)
This track has all the ingredients we need for a peak-time anthem. A dramatic beginning, massive diva vocals, a sing-a-long-chorus, and – in the unreleased, not-on-YouTube Love Come Down edit – an extended running time with a dubby second half. And no, you can't have a copy ;)
3. Todd Terje 'Inspector Norse'
The greatest instrumental track of all time. Discuss. Sums up everything we want our party to be about. Here's 3 reasons (out of hundreds) why we love this song so much: 1) it somehow always manages to elicit a sing-a-long despite having no vocals. 2) It has an epic breakdown that sounds like you're flying through some sort of intergalactic portal. 3) It has some of the best 'pow pow' laser effects in any song ever. We will never tire of this song, a genuine work of genius. Also works as a chill-out track when slowed down by 2000% (LOL).
4. Devin Dare ‘Policy’
Riffing on The Trammps ‘Love Insurance Policy’, this is undoubtedly LCD’s no.1 secret weapon. Thanks to Mister Saturday Night for turning us on to this one!
5. Evelyn 'Champagne' King 'Love Come Down' (12" Version)
Obviously. The original inspiration behind what we do and always the final track played at our parties – stay to the end and feel the magic. A timeless classic.
