Wildcard (week 3): Luude & Issey Cross (feat. Moby) – Oh My
Some songs bring back great memories. I remember only too well I drove on the island of Curaçao in a cabriolet, while Mobyâs Porcelain blasted out of the car stereo. A wonderful holiday in lovely company, musically as well. That must have been in the summer of 2000, when Porcelain was a worldwide hit. A beautiful, subtle song that showed another side of an artist who was previously known mostly for his harder hitting, danceable songs. Personally, I love both sides of Mobyâs artistic output.
23 years later, Australian producer Christian Benson (Luude) breathes new life in the classic track. It didnât take him much more than the original strings and a frantic drum & bass beat to make it ready for todayâs dance floors. Talented 21-year-old UK singer-songwriter Issey Cross then laid some beautiful vocals on it. The new version, re-titled Oh My, already received Mobyâs seal of approval. He commented: âIâd love to say something smart or insightful about Oh My, but honestly when I first heard it I simply thought, âfuck, this is great!ââ
Bound to become a huge hit all over again! Youâd better put on your dancing shoesâŠ
Oh My by Luude & Issey Cross (feat. Moby) is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means itâll be featured prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.

bĂŒlow – Revolver
Born in Germany, Megan BĂŒlow grew up and lived in the UK, Canada and the United States. Nowadays however, the 21-year-old globetrotter operates from the Netherlands.
In 2017 already, her debut EP Damaged, Vol. 1 landed her the title New Artist Of The Week by Apple Music Canada. Three-and-a-half years later, the singer and songwriter worked with the likes of Ty Dolla $ign, Mura Masa and Fall Out Boy, gaining half a billion streams in the process.
bĂŒlow recently experimented with genres like trap and future bass, but her new single Revolver has more of a drum & bass vibe. They donât come any more upbeat and catchy than this!
