This may not be easy, but if anyone can help the PH members can.
It's a dancey song with male vocals. I was sure it was Gnarls Barkley when I heard it but a youtube search has been fruitless.
There's classic ravey piano throughout it except when it drops in the middle and ends up sounding a bit like Kadoc's Nighttrain:

(the bit that comes in at 40sec, though the song I heard was a little slower)

Any ideas?

no youtube at work, so i'm not much help, but the only vocalist similar to the fat guy from gnarls barkley is david mcalmont. had a hit with bernard butler called 'yes' which is the only one i've heard tbh.

The bit at 40 seconds is from "The only way is up" by Yazz

Nah, not the train horn sound at 38, it's the slightly xylophone sounding synth bit of four notes that repeats.

TBH, it sounds so much like Gnarls that I'm going to have another youtube search.

Just a suggestion - Axwell - I Found You has always reminded me of The Night Train (particularly after a few too many!)

You sir, are a beautiful man!
Can't believe I couldn't remember the title lyric from the nighttrain bit (although tbh it's the rest of the song that I like).

I knew I could count on the PH massive!clap

Aye... I'm normally into more 'moody' house music, but it's a gem of a tune - takes me right back to a top night in Ibiza a couple of summers ago everytime I hear it! smile... He's an awesome DJ to see live too in the right setting!
