Happy Summer. Enjoy June’s top tune recap.

 

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

Genre: Trap

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

 

3. Justin Bieber – Sorry (Elderbrook Cover)

Yes it’s a Bieber track. However, and a BIG however, this cover is wayyy better than the original tune. Have a listen – you’ll find it hard to disagree.

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.

My favorite parts of this tune are when Futon hangs on certain beats before returning full force.

Lovely vocals plus bass drops make this one a winner.

 

7. James Bay – Let It Go (Vexaic Remix)

I love the repeating vocals in this dnb tune.

If you’ve been following my recaps for a while, you know I’m a sucker for songs with profound lyrics or lyrics that make you think. Here’s a snippet from Lights, “We weave in and out of consciousness alone/
Til our bodies collide and keep us from getting cold”. Deep. I love it.

Genre: Tech House

I may have listened to this tune about a hundred times in a row. I love the small builds in intensity and releases.
