Brennan Green is spinning tomorrow night at Let's Play House alongside another Classic Cuts contributor, Ital, which reminded us that we've been meaning to tap him for a track selection of his own. The Canada-born, NYC-based DJ and producer of colossal talent opted to lob us one hell of an unexpected song, though we can't say we're too surprised as Mr. Green is notorious for being against the grain (and we say that with only love and affection).

I've always thought of disco as a bridge of two musical worlds, classical and popular. Always believing that, in order to make a piece of music immortal, it has to be universal, regardless of style. Through my experiments with sound and harmony I've found myself in summertime, that is, George Gershwin's "Summertime." One of the most covered songs in the history of music and one of the finest songs ever written. The first time I heard it, it was as if the colors of all my previous musical interests spilled out of the speakers onto the floor at my feet. I could hear Americana encapsulated: hip-hop, funk, house, techno and ambient, as if the jig was up! This instrumental of "Summertime" could be Gershwin's spiritual folk lullaby; I'm all about Americana music.―Brennan Green
