Top Tune Recap – March 2015

 • 0 Comments

Welcome to March’s top track recap. I swear it gets harder and harder each month to narrow down to ten tracks. Without further delay, here we go:

1. Andrew Bayer feat. Asbjørn – Super Human
Genre: Trance
I’ve been eagerly awaiting Bayer’s next album since “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave”. This track dropped in anticipation of “Do Androids Dream” due out in April.

2. Sasse : 1983 (Dosem Remix)
Genre: Deep House
Groove…clap clap…groove…clap clap. Definitely a funky one with a load of bass!

3. Machel Montano & Sean Paul ft. Major Lazer – One Wine
Genre: Soca
So I had to throw something different in the mix. Straight off the 2015 Carnival circuit, One Wine features a catchy soca beat with some Major Lazer treatment, and great sound from Machel and Sean.

4. Shake Shake Go – England Skies (Epic Empire Remix)
Genre: Pop / Indie / Bass
I am not sure which genre this track falls under, but I can tell you it’s highly catchy and will be on repeat. The vocal snippets are lovely.

5. Matt Fax – Going Down / Hyperspace EP
Genre: Trance
Yess, the return of Matt Fax. Matt dropped off for a bit, but glad to see his return with the Going Down / Hyperspace EP. Hyperspace is the type of track that made me fall in love with Matt’s music to begin with.

6. Flite – Dive
Genre: Drum & Bass
Dive is both a beautiful and calming drum and bass track. Get ready for a melodic journey.

7. Jonas Woehl – Finding The Others
Genre: Deep House
Finding The Others is the title track of Woehl’s EP. It features the right blend of deep sounds, mixed in with vocals. I recommend checking out the rest of this EP as well.

8. Jaymes Young – I’ll Be Good (Thero Remix)
Genre: Tropical House
Time to soak up the sun. I’ve featured quite a bit of tracks with vocal work this month – this is no exception. Jaymes Young sounds fantastic on this one.

9. Magnifik Ft. Cam Nacson – I Miss You So Bad (Diamond Lights Remix)
Genre: Deep House
Can you say basement party? Just the type of track to get your sweat on in a crowded room with a banging sound system.

10. LTN Feat. Arielle Maren – Let Me Go (Vintage & Morelli Remix)
Genre: Prog House
Solid remix treatment here. Arielle’s vocals are also amazing.

Top Tune Recap – February 2015

 • 0 Comments

It’s that time again. While it is always difficult to narrow down to ten from all the tracks I’ve listened to over the course of a month, I’ve gone through my posts and have selected my top picks. Here we go:

1. Jack Ü – Take Ü There (feat. Kiesza) (Missy Elliott Remix)
Genre: Electro
How many of you waited for the Jack Ü album to drop, like a kid waiting for xmas? I did! Missy, skrillex, and diplo. Sounds like an instant win to me. Bonus points if you watched the 24 (err, 18) hour Jack Ü live stream.

2. Mad Zach – Kräftig EP
Genre: Grime
This is a talent to watch out for. I cheated a bit since this is an EP and not necessarily a track (let’s call it a really LONG track). Well constructed beats + bass!

3. Seinabo Sey – Hard Time (Dimond Saints) Remix
Genre: Trap
Crank the volume up. Gotta love the kicks and vocals in this one.

4. Parov Stelar – “Clap your hands” (Bart&Baker Remix)
Genre: Electro
I am a sucker for songs with classic flair. Fantastic track with swing elements.

5. Sir Sly – Afterlife (Arcade Fire Cover)
Genre: Indie Pop
Still honored to see this band live. I love the spin they put on an already great song.

6. L’homme aux 4 lettres – Macchiato Girl
Genre: TrapDanceClub
Big beats, bass, and intricate sounds. ‘Nuff said.

7. PAJI – Children Of Love
Genre: House
There should be a genre called Feel-Good House. This falls under that category.

8. PROFF – You Wanna
Genre: Electro House
Ever since I found out about PROFF from Above & Beyond, I’ve been hooked. Another solid track with disco flair.

9. SEQU3l – Booka Booka
Genre: Techno
A track that’s a bit hard to pin down genre-wise. Booka Booka definitely tinkers around trance, progressive, and techno styles. In any event, whatever genre it comes down to, this is definitely a go-to late night party track. Check it out.

10. Y.V.E. 48 – On The Road (Addal Remix)
Genre: House
A summertime house tune guaranteed to get you out of this winter funk.

Top Tune Recap – January 2015

 • 0 Comments

So I’ve decided to do something a bit different this year. At the end of each month, I’d like to recap my top ten tracks. I’m starting off with January.

This was a hard feat given all the amazing tracks I’ve come across. I’ll list each track and a one-liner about the track. I hope you like them as much as I do.

In no particular order, here we go:

1. Cruisr – Don’t Go Alone
Genre: Alternative
Imagine a day, driving down the highway, under the California sun, with the wind breezing through your hair. This track feels like that kind of day. If you can’t imagine that, well that stinks. By the way, this song has a catchy hook.

2. Poupon – So Long
Genre: House
Of course my recap would contain a house track. That’s how I roll. ‘So long’ features a fantastic bassline. Get down to this dancefloor-worthy track.

3. Max Cue – Mindfulness (Teho Remix)
Genre: Electronica – sure let’s go with that
I came across Teho and loved his remix style. This was one of my favorite remixes from him.

4. Matt Cardle – When You Were My Girl (Tontario Remix)
Genre: Deep House
Wait for the beat change around 1:20. It’s worth it.

5. ODESZA – Bloom (Lane 8 Remix)
Genre: Deep House
You may have guessed by now I love remixes. This is my absolute favorite one for January – maybe even in the top billing for the rest of the year. Lane 8 is tremendous.

6. Peebs The Prophet – “Dead Calm” (Prod. Phoniks)
Genre: Hip Hop
So, I’m not a huge hip hop enthusiast, but I couldn’t pass this track up. It has a classic beat and love the lyrical flow.

7. Aquilo – Human
Genre: Electro-Pop
Loved Aquilo so much I purchased items off their bandcamp page. Piano + Ambient Electronic Background + Lovely Vocals = Win!

8. Little By Little – ‘Bang The Box EP’
Genre: House
Hard hitting bassline. Enough said. Go listen, like right now.

9. L’Tric – This Feeling
Genre: House
Another fresh house tune. Definitely more of a dance vibe from this one.

10. Aytac Kart – Phobias and Fears
Genre: Deep House
Aytac Kart, you’ve just made the cut. Lovely vocals set against a lush deep house background.
