Ladies and Gents, the June recap:

1. Kidd Kool – Polaroid (Original Mix)

Genre: House

I love the bits of camera snaps in this tune.

2. Odesza – Meridian

Genre: Electronica

It’s been a minute since I’ve heard new Odesza music and I couldn’t be happier with this release. Fresh off their forthcoming album, Meridian is a great late night track with some killer tribal vocals.

3. Late June – Stay Close To Me

If you’re looking for a tune that tugs at your heartstrings, this would be it. Props to Late June for creating such an emotional track. My favorite parts of this tune include the vocal captures from the 13 Reasons series.

4. Lux Holm – Breathin

Genre: Dance

Sticking to the emotional, late night drive themes, this tune fits the bill.

5. Dustycloud – Feeling So Good

Genre: House

It’s no surprise Dustycloud is back on my list. Whenever new music is released, I’m usually there to grab it! Feeling So Good captures his usual dark vibes and funky synths.

6. Lincoln Jesser – Baby Boy (Soslo Remix) Ft. Yuna

Genre: Electronica

Summer vibes in effect with this tune.

Genre: Deep House

I love the soothing vocals and chill vibe of this tune.

10. Telepopmusik – Breathe (Kartell Slow Remix)

Genre: Electronica

I know what you’re thinking – another Breathe rework? Fear not music fans, this one is a winner. The slowed down tempo is beautiful.

Top Monthly Tune Recap – April 2017

April 30, 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.

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’.

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: 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.

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

8. TEPR – Half Below (NEUS Remix)

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

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.
