 • 0 Comments

You patiently waited. Music is on the way! Here it is:

Part One

1. Matt Fax – To The Ground

Genre: House

I’ve been a fan of Matt forever, and by forever, he’s extremely young so maybe not that long. Over the last few years, he’s developed a great ability to evoke emotions through his tracks. His later tracks feel much smoother and impactful.

 

2. Me & My Toothbrush – Just Release Me

Genre: House

I love the vocal intro to this solid house tune. Get ready to hit the repeat button.

 

3. Niko The Kid – Sorry Not Sorry Feat. Brayton Bowman

The type of tune when you’re feeling yourself and want a little extra pep in that step. As a result, I dare you not to walk with a little more swagger.

 

4. Sammy Deuce & Sebb Junior – Elevate The Groove

Genre: Indie Dance / Nu-Disco

In anticipation of summer (it’s been a long winter for NYers folks!), I’ve been tuning into feel good tunes. Another dance-worthy tune right here.

 

5. ilan Bluestone feat. EL Waves – Mama Africa (Extended Mix)

Genre: Trance

It’s been a while since I’ve heard a proper Trance tune I’d want to listen to over and over again. Ilan was able to masterfully weave in a global feel and solid lyrics.

 

Part Two

6. Crooked Colours – Do It Like You (Mickey Kojak Remix)

Genre: Electronic

Solid remix of the original tune.

 

7. MERCER – Your Love (Original Mix)

Genre: Nu-Disco

As mentioned, in anticipation of Summer’s arrival, another kickin’ disco tune.

 

8. Serious (with Matthew Koma) (TWO LANES Remix)

Genre: Dance

Everything about this tune screams young love. If you’re longing to go down memory lane or just a young kid in love, here ya go.

 

9. Just Kiddin – Come Together (Club Mix – Extended)

Genre: House

I love the minimal vocal hook for this tune.

 

10. Win & Woo – Right In Front of Me Ft. Kaleena Zanders

Genre: Dance

Solid club tune with deeper vocals.

It’s hard to classify this style of tune since it drifts around multiple genres. Is it dance, is it pop, is it r&b, is it trap?? Who cares. It’a awesome and you should give it a listen.

Genre: Deep House

Would love to blast this dancing tune on a dark dancefloor.

Top Monthly Tune Recap – April 2017

 • 0 Comments

I can’t believe it’s already that time again. This year is moving in a hurry! Without further delay, here is your top tune recap for April:

 

1. Moby – Are You Lost In The World Like Me (Bite Me Remix)


Genre: Trap

One criterion for my top tune is the its’ replayability. This tune has been on repeat for a while. I love the trap take on this, but it’s the lyrics that get me everytime.

 

2. Khen – Baby Steps


Genre: Progressive House

This is my favorite tune of Khen’s latest EP. This is the perfect tune for a late night drive or winding down at a club. The real magic happens around the 3:00 min marker.

 

3. Ólafur Arnalds – Öldurót (Tontario Remix)


Genre: Deep House

I still get chills everytime I listen to this tune. Öldurót is probably the most emotional song in this entire recap. Keep an ear out for the crackling bottle sounds.

 

4. Terror Reid – Uppercuts


Genre: Hip Hop

If you’ve been following my recaps for a while, you know I’m not a huge hip-hop fan. However, once I heard Uppercuts, I had to include it in my top recap. I love Terror Reid’s effortless flow and the old school beat.

 

5. Xan Young – Honest


Genre: Electronica

This happens to be the oldest tune in my recap, but I only recently found out about it! The combination of smooth, r&b-ish vocals with synths and claps is amazing.

 

6. Cirez D – On Off (Pryda Remix) [Pete Tong – BBC Radio 1]


Genre: Progressive House

I came across a comment relating to this track ‘Prydzception’. I couldn’t think of a better way to describe this hah. For those that are not familiar, Pryda is an alias of Eric Prydz. So is Cirez D. Yep.

 

7. Big Wild – Empty Room (feat. Yuna) [Elderbrook Remix]


Genre: Electronica

Elderbook’s remix of this tune is great. Part disco feel, part jazz funk, this tune is made for a summertime party.

 

8. Alex Preston & Dave Winnel – Never Meant To Last ft. Javeon (VIP Mix)


Genre: House

Summer. Festival. Season.

 

9. Bontan & Josh Butler – Call You Back


Genre: Tech House

Anything Bontan or Josh Butler is an automatic win for me. This is a fun tech house tune with a catchy hook.

 

10. Matt Lange – Clever Girl


Genre: Rock

I’ve been a fan of Matt Lange for a long time now. His work is constantly envolving. Since his recent departure off on his own (self-releasing tracks), his sound has changed as well. Clever girl features all vocals and instrumentals by Matt.

Top Monthly Tune Recap – April 2016

 • 0 Comments

Hi Folks! After a short break from March, I’ve returned with a fresh recap of April’s top tunes. Here we go:

 

1. Lexer – Disrupted Signals


Genre: Deep House

Lexer is definitely in my top three producer/musician list. All his tracks are packed with emotion and so well crafted. Disrupted Signals is a single from his latest EP ‘Forgive Me’.

 

2. Lewis Del Mar – Loud(y)


Genre: Indie

Fans of Alt-J will definitely gravitate to Lewis Del Mar as they are strikingly similar. I love the rebellious vibe from this tune and bonus points for being NYers.

 

3. Kiiara – Gold


Genre: Pop

One of those catchy tunes you want to put on repeat. Not much substance via lyrical content, however, I love the chopped treatment.

 

4. Coldplay – Adventure Of A Lifetime (Yotto Remix)


Genre: House

I first heard of Yotto from Anjunadeep’s roster. Definitely an emerging talent, this track shows off his skills by remixing an already popular Coldplay tune with house vibes.

 

5. David August – J.B.Y


Genre: Tech House

Nice combination of echoed vocals, claps, mellow undertones, and extra sound effects.

 

6. Beats Antique – You The Starry Eyed (Blockhead Remix)


Genre: Electronic

I love this remixed tune because it makes me feel like I’ve stepped back into the 70s. Have a listen.

 

7. DOSEM – Untold Stories


Genre: Techno

Debuting on Dosem’s new label Houstrike, this is the title tune from a recent EP. You’ll definitely appreciate the production value that goes into each Dosem track. Untold Stories combines many intricate sounds and patterns, making this a real standout tune.

 

8. Nick Jonas – Close ft Tove Lo


Genre: Pop

I tend to not add many mainstream tracks to my countdown, but this is one catchy tune I couldn’t refuse. I love anything Tove Lo is on, but the addition of Nick Jonas makes this vocal magic. The lyrical content goes deeper and more meaningful on this one too.

 

9. FAIRCHILD – Breathless


Genre: Indie

This tune is a bit older than some of the tracks featured on here, but I’ve recently discovered it. Breathless combines both an 80s synthy feel with an updated string/electronic sound. Enjoy the mellow tune.

 

10. Davidian – Bode


Genre: Tech House

A pleasantly bouncy house tune.
