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.

Top Tune Recap – February 2015

 • 0 Comments

It’s that time again. While it is always difficult to narrow down to ten from all the tracks I’ve listened to over the course of a month, I’ve gone through my posts and have selected my top picks. Here we go:

1. Jack Ü – Take Ü There (feat. Kiesza) (Missy Elliott Remix)
Genre: Electro
How many of you waited for the Jack Ü album to drop, like a kid waiting for xmas? I did! Missy, skrillex, and diplo. Sounds like an instant win to me. Bonus points if you watched the 24 (err, 18) hour Jack Ü live stream.

2. Mad Zach – Kräftig EP
Genre: Grime
This is a talent to watch out for. I cheated a bit since this is an EP and not necessarily a track (let’s call it a really LONG track). Well constructed beats + bass!

3. Seinabo Sey – Hard Time (Dimond Saints) Remix
Genre: Trap
Crank the volume up. Gotta love the kicks and vocals in this one.

4. Parov Stelar – “Clap your hands” (Bart&Baker Remix)
Genre: Electro
I am a sucker for songs with classic flair. Fantastic track with swing elements.

5. Sir Sly – Afterlife (Arcade Fire Cover)
Genre: Indie Pop
Still honored to see this band live. I love the spin they put on an already great song.

6. L’homme aux 4 lettres – Macchiato Girl
Genre: TrapDanceClub
Big beats, bass, and intricate sounds. ‘Nuff said.

7. PAJI – Children Of Love
Genre: House
There should be a genre called Feel-Good House. This falls under that category.

8. PROFF – You Wanna
Genre: Electro House
Ever since I found out about PROFF from Above & Beyond, I’ve been hooked. Another solid track with disco flair.

9. SEQU3l – Booka Booka
Genre: Techno
A track that’s a bit hard to pin down genre-wise. Booka Booka definitely tinkers around trance, progressive, and techno styles. In any event, whatever genre it comes down to, this is definitely a go-to late night party track. Check it out.

10. Y.V.E. 48 – On The Road (Addal Remix)
Genre: House
A summertime house tune guaranteed to get you out of this winter funk.
