Top Monthly Tune Recap – July 2016

 • 0 Comments

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.

Welcome to April’s top track recap. I hope you enjoy the selections that made the cut:

Something different for this month’s countdown. A beautiful slow piece featuring great trumpet and violin work.
