My fondest memory is the classic hit,&nbsp;<em>We Can Do It (Wake Up)<\/em>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Charles Dockins Presents James Howard<\/strong>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<strong>Emotive Records<\/strong>. I would hear this joint come up in many mixes, including in my Friday night sets on the radio and abroad.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After making several bangers since then, the Baltimore native returns to drop more heat with?<strong>Our Day<\/strong>?on?<strong>Ebony Sky Records<\/strong>, which is also available on his <a href=\"https:\/\/charlesdockins.bandcamp.com\/album\/our-day\">Band Camp page<\/a>. This project contains 16 full mixes, including vocal, organ, piano, and percussive reworks. My favorite is the?<em>90?s Piano Vocal Mix<\/em>?in which I dropped in the mix on my April 24, 2021 broadcast on?<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/lloyd-dev\/lloyd-dev-get-down-saturday-night-april-24-2021\/\">Chicago House Radio<\/a><\/strong>.??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drums and percussion grip the dancefloor from the sound of the speakers, gliding the listener on a very strong and integrated movement. And oh yes! Your head is going to nod throughout the listening process, especially if it is placed in the mix the right way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cut gets a?<strong>5-star rating<\/strong>?from me. I would suggest that you take a listen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XUkfMlfycs0\">here<\/a> for a quick snippet, and perhaps head on over to your favorite music site to cop it.??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lloyd Dev&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chicagohouseradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Our-Day-Charles-Dockins-image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/chicagohouseradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Our-Day-Charles-Dockins-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5774\" width=\"334\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chicagohouseradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Our-Day-Charles-Dockins-image.jpg 175w, https:\/\/chicagohouseradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Our-Day-Charles-Dockins-image-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/chicagohouseradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Our-Day-Charles-Dockins-image-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:Lloyddev@chicagohouseradio.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lloyddev@chicagohouseradio.com<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The musical journey of&nbsp;Charles Dockins&nbsp;goes back a few decades ago.
