 • 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’.

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.

1. Dotan – 7 Layers (Sebastien Edit)

1. Fausttt – La Tengo


Genre: Trap

Dear god, the bass. The bass! Enough said…

MitiS should be renamed Midas, because everything he touches turns to gold. (See what I did there??) This is another lovely track with a chill vibe. Solid production as usual.

Genre: Trance

Fantastic progressive vibe on this tune. It sounds really otherwordly, which is a cool positive.

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.
