For this remix, Blue Six (one half of Naked Music) turned a simple, major chorded love song into a hauntingly beautiful rendition. Naked Music is a label based in San Francisco and New York, known for their high-profile sexy house-oriented remixes of artists such as Kelis, Roy Ayers and of course, the lovely Sade. So when I heard Bowly of Montreal’s Knife & Fork crew play the Naked Music Mix of “By Your Side”, at 5:30 am, during one of his and Guilty’s epic endeavors at the Montreal after-hours spot Tarot, I was taken way, way back to my childhood, immediately entranced, and overcome with the feelings of comfort and warmth I felt as a child. My mother used to play “Diamond Life” on tape to lull me to sleep, and ever since, goosebumps rise whenever those vocal chords are struck. My ears were first graced by the smooth and sultry voice of Sade at a very early age.
