Top Monthly Tune Recap – November 2016

November 30, 2016 • 0 Comments

It’s been a while party people. While I play catch up for the past few months, here’s a fresh recap for November. Enjoy <3

1. Breaux – Third Man

Genre: Trap

I absolutely love the trap spin on classic beats. If you want to be transported to the 20s, but a cooler, more futuristic version of the 20s, definitely give this tune a listen. I don’t know how Breaux does it, but he’s the man.

2. Kimyan Law – Yore Dub

Genre: Drum and Bass

Kimyan Law has to be one of my new favorite artists. This track is off his recently released album ‘Zawadi’. I love his African and Jungle influences.

3. Jax Jones – House Work (KC Lights Remix)

Genre: House

There are a few remixes out of this Jax Jones tune, but this is my favorite one. Recommended if you want to get your house dance on.

4. Lakuno – Echo (Ft. Bahar Dopran)

Genre: Trap

Most certainly one of the lesser aggressive trap tunes out there. One of my favorite parts of this tune is the vocal snippets.

5. Paul Woolford – Father

Genre: Electronica

This tune was recently released off Woolford’s aptly titled ‘Father, Son & Holy Ghost’ LP. A very spiritually charged tune.

6. A.G Cook – Superstar (Kattison Bootleg)

Genre: Dance

This month’s feel-good tune.

7. Moonwalk – Mirage

Genre: Tech House

If you’re looking to go on a journey through a tune, this would be it. Check out the awesome snares while you’re at it.

8. CVRL – Crossing

Genre: Electronica

This tune packs a chill, emotional punch. Recommended for long drives or sleepless nights.

9. BANKS – Gemini Feed (Swell Remix)

Genre: Trap

I’m a fan of the original BANKS tune, but this remix is pretty solid.

10. Closer Water (Kap Slap Mashup)

Genre: Dance

This is a pretty cool mashup of Halsey’s ‘Closer’ and Major Lazer’s ‘Cold Water’.

Top Monthly Tune Recap – July 2016

July 31, 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.

Happy Summer. Enjoy June’s top tune recap.

1. The M Machine – When It’s Gone (Mat Zo Remix)

Genre: Dance

I’ve been a while since I’ve heard a Mat Zo remix I really love. This is a fantastic tune sure to be on repeat.

2. Flux Pavilion – I Can’t Stop (Ekali Tribute)

Genre: Trap

Ekali’s trap spin on this tune is unreal. Be sure to put the volume up on this one.

Perfect tune for an afternoon by the beach or lounge with your favorite cocktail. The combination of vinyl-scratch sounds, piano, and old school vocals are stunning.
