Top Monthly Tune Recap – February 2017

Greetings party people. Without further ado, I present my top tune recap for the month of February. Enjoy!

 

1. JOYRYDE – Hot Drum


Genre: Future House

JOYRYDE is my favorite artist of the year so far (it’s only February). The best part of this tune is where the drums kick in. Go, listen, now!

 

2. Mosa Wild – Smoke


Genre: Indie

I’m a big fan of the band The National and Mosa Wild definitely parallels that band. The beauty of this tune lies in the emotion it evokes – particularly that of loss.

 

3. Shout (Grum Remix)


Genre: Trance

This is a really great trance take on the classic Tears for Fears tune ‘Shout’.

 

4. Lane 8 – In My Arms


Genre: House

Lane8 has been featured in my countdowns a few times and for good reason. His production skills are amazing. His latest track features a beautiful blend of synths and minimal vocals.

 

5. Nora En Pure – Diving With Whales (Daniel Portman Remix)


Genre: Progressive House

Nora En Pure tunes are already perfection. This remix does the original tune justice, maintaining much of its’ original beauty, with subtle tweaks.

 

6. Jynx – Honey


Genre: House

This tune is off the latest EP Saffron City. Definitely one of the edge cases where a choppy composition and disjointedness work.

 

7. Hervé – My Love feat. Phizzals (KC Lights Remix)


Genre: House

A bouncy house tune remix. Time to dance.

 

8. Maroon 5 – Cold (Audio) ft. Future


Genre: Pop

What drew me most to this tune were the relatable lyrics. There are many of us out there that have been through confusing or failed relationships, often times the other party creeping away for what seems like no good reason. Check out the lyric snippet:


Are we taking time, or a time out?
I can’t take the in-between
Asking me for space here in my house
You know how to f*k with me

 

9. Gladiator – Sierra


Genre: Trap

You’ll want to put the volume up for this fresh trap tune.

 

10. Blvmenkind – Dream With You (feat. Sam Darton)


Genre: Electronic

Fans of ambient or chill music will enjoy this tune. I love the dreamy vocals. This is the perfect track for a long drive or a lounge on the beach.

Top Monthly Tune Recap – January 2017

Welcome to the first recap of 2017! Thanks for taking the time to check out my post and hope to see you all year long. This year hasn’t started off on an amazing note, but I’ve come across so many inspiring tracks featuring a variety of vocals and music elements. I hope you enjoy these tunes as much as I do.

 

1. IHF – Departure


Genre: Electronic

I may have broke the repeat button on this tune. Departure is comprised of so many interesting musical components, but my favorite has to be the Erhu-sounding (Chinese violin) samples.

 

2. Grandson – Bury Me Face Down


Genre: Alternative

Whether you’re suffering from internal turmoil due to national events, or even a personal crisis, this is a great ‘F U’ anthem. Have a listen. Here’s just a sample set of lyrics:

When I go into the ground
I won’t go quietly
I’m bringin’ my crown

 

3. Jorgen Odegard – Save Me (feat. Audrey English)


Genre: Electronic

January’s recap definitely features tunes with more emotionally heavy undertones. I am absolutely in love with Audrey’s soulful voice and I can relate to a lot of this tune. Another set of gripping lyrics:

Who’s gonna save me now?
How many drinks until I can’t stand?
Will I wake up on his side of the bed
Who’s gonna save me now
Where will I be at 40
and when will it feel normal again?

 

4. Golden Features – Funeral


Genre: Electronic

Creepy bass. Bass. Creepy. More bass. This may be the most accurate review ever. Carry on.

 

5. Kodak Black – Too Many Years ft. PnB Rock (Baauer Rewind)


Genre: Hip Hop

I love Baauer’s UK garage take on this Kodak Black tune. I wish this one were a bit longer.

 

6. Alon Mor – Presudeos


Genre: Good question

Is there a genre called Mindf**k? If so, this tune fits the bill. Part raw, part cinematic, part scary, this is a tune that will play all kinds of tricks with your mind.

 

7. The Odds x Bronze Whale – Mercy


Genre: Electronic

The Odds soulful voice plus the stellar production style of Bronze Whale land this tune in my top recap of the month.

 

8. Tough Love – Dopamine


Genre: House

This is one of those house tunes I want to hear on the dance floor, as loud as possible. “…that’s just dope I mean”

 

9. Luca Debonaire – Walking On Clouds (Croatia Squad Remix)


Genre: House

Another solid house gem from Croatia Squad.

 

10. Throttle x Michael Bublé – My Kind Of Girl


Genre: House

I feel like I needed to end this countdown with something fun amidst all the heavy tracks this month. Throttle does a fantastic house re-work on this Michael Bublé tune. Get your dance on.
