Much love and here’s to a new year,

1. Lookas & Able Heart – On My Own
Genre: Trap
What makes this tune is the stellar vocals from Able Heart.
2. DROELOE – Backbone ft Nevve
Genre: Electronic
A tune with another set of awesome vocals from Nevve. Love the message this tune relays to its’ listeners – get up and go do something.
3. Lost Frequencies – Send Her My Love (R.O Remix)
Genre: Dance
This tune is dedicated to all those who got away. I was in love with the original, but this remix is fantastic. Get ready to be both in deep thought, and head bob simultaneously.
4. Lauv – I Like Me Better (Haฬlder Remix)
Genre: Trap
I love this tune because I can visualize a complete story when I listen to it. Enjoy this awesome remix.
5. ZHU – Hometown Girl (Khamsin Remix)
Genre: Dance
ZHU’s tracks are amazing enough, so remixes are no easy task. Khamsin puts a beautifully chill spin on ‘Hometown Girl’. Get ready for some summer vibes.
6. Taska Black – Sandpaper (ft. Ayelle)
Genre: Electronic
This month is all about the vocals. Ayelle provides soothing vocals set up against an emotional backdrop.
7. Autograf – Smells Like Teen Spirit (ft. Queen Sessi)
Genre: Electronic
As a huge Nirvana fan, I was a bit hesitant to check this tune out. I’m glad I did. It’s a lovely (and much more subdued) take on the original. Kudos Autograf.
8. Marc Goone – rewind (prod. judge)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Continuing with the vocal theme this month, enter Marc Goone. Rewind is a solid musical introspection on the past.
9. A Different Way (Noizu Remix) [feat. Lauv]
Genre: Dance
Heading to the end of this month’s countdown, I wanted to add something a little less heavy. This is a great remix of one of the biggest tunes of last year.
10. Tchami – World To Me (feat. Luke James)(MK Remix)
Genre: House
With all the 90s nostaglia floating around, I get that kind of vibe with this track.
