Top Monthly Tune Recap – January 2017

 • 0 Comments

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.

Top Monthly Tune Recap – July 2016

 • 0 Comments

Hello music people. Welcome to July’s top tune recap.

 

1. Dustycloud – No Escape


Genre: House

This house tune takes my top spot for its’ deep bass and dark undertones. Part scary, part exciting, enjoy the ride.

 

2. Bronze Whale – Love To Feel Ft Khai (Laetho Remix)


Genre: Trap

Love the vocals in this tune. Also, around the 1:20 marker, the chopped treatment is magic.

 

3. Kozoro – Illusion


Genre: Chill

I don’t even know how to classify what genre this tune is, but who cares. Piano combined with kicks and dreamy sounds definitely land this in my top three.

 

4. Aazar – Gyal


Genre: Trap

This trap tune is a must play for the summer. I definitely get some tropical vibes with this one.

 

5. Unorthodox – Hooked


Genre: Tech House

I feel like every month I have to feature at least one tune fit for a raging, sweaty, basement or warehouse party. This would be it. I expect every late night house dj to have this on rotation.

 

6. Kalyma – LayDown (Stereo Mc’s Mix)


Genre: Electronica

If I did the soundtrack for the show Mr. Robot, I feel like this would fit perfectly in an episode – dark vibes combined with interesting synths and chill tempo.

 

7. Khen – Never Lose Your Innocence


Genre: Progressive House

Awesome bassline and great build up / release on this tune.

 

8. TEPR – Half Below (NEUS Remix)


Genre: Deep House

This tune lands in the top 10 for its’ modern disco / house spin on the original.

 

9. ShoffyMusic – Up Here


Genre: House

Great summer house tune.

 

10. Denny White – Sweetness


Genre: Indie / Pop

Venturing solo from the group Golden Coast, this is Denny’s debut as a solo artist. I love the vocals and percussion work. Definitely see this getting serious airplay.

Top Monthly Tunes – August 2015

 • 0 Comments

It’s time for August’s top tunes recap.

 

1. Hayden James – Something About You (Cut Snake Edit)


Genre: House

I may have single-handedly been responsible for 10K plays on this tune (Joking of course, or am I??). Definitely a bouncy dance number ready for big speaker treatment.

 

2. SevenDoors – Movement Of Whale


Genre: Deep House

The halfway point of this tune is quite amazing. The beat slows down, builds up, and releases into the last half of the tune. Beautiful listen on this one.

 

3. Petter Carlsen – Never Leave Me (Tinlicker Remix)


Genre: Electronic

Love the dark, industrial-like vibe. The vocals are great. The headphones especially love the kicks.

 

4. ZHU – Faded (Ruobin Remix)


Genre: Deep House

There are a lot (I mean ALOT) of Faded remixes out there. It’s hard to compete with the greatness of the original. This remix comes pretty close. It’s a cool take, preserving the vibe of the original, while adding some really cool measured (clock-like) sounds.

 

5. Nicolas Luce – Trust You


Genre: House

I want to be at a sweaty, packed, basement party listening to this (ok, maybe not so sweaty or packed, but you get the idea of the vibe I’m going after).

 

6. I’m Not A Band – Cages (Christian Löffler Remix)


Genre: Electronic

A very clean, chill tune with another set of lovely vocals. The slight echo on the vocals produce a hauntingly beautiful effect.

 

7. Palace – Too Young ft Ziggy (Kyle Watson Remix)


Genre: House

I like the combination of house beats with hip hop flair from Ziggy.

 

8. Jack Ü ft. Justin Bieber – Where Are Ü Now (Reevo & David Bulla Remix)


Genre: House

I am NOT a beebs fan, however, I love Jack Ü, and this is a pretty great remix. Go ahead, get your dance on.

 

9. Fetty Wap – 679 (K Theory Remix)


Genre: Trap

I like most of the tunes I’ve heard from Fetty Wap, and K Theory can crank out some sick trap tunes – this remix showcases that.

 

10. Bronze Whale – Weird Dark Things (Ft. Khai)


Genre: Trap

I can appreciate artists who hold off on the final product until they deem it’s perfect. Bronze Whale waited until they found the right set of vocals for this and they succeeded.
