Top Monthly Tune Recap – April 2017

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 – July 2016

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.
