 • 0 Comments

Hi Everybody! Welcome to the tune recap for September 2018.

Part One

1. George Kwali – Dream Enough

Genre: House

Repeat in full effect! Love Aplin’s vocals over Kwali’s synths and house beats.

Genre: Deep House

Love the simple chorus on this tune.

 

3. Callum McBride & Oliver Jack – Everywhere (feat. Sander Nijbroek)

Genre: Deep House

This month’s tune recap is strong on vocals. Sander’s voice is quite beautiful. Perfect for that mid-point in a late night set.

 

4. owl city – fireflies (it’s different cover)

Genre: Trap

It’s hard to believe Owl City’s original version came out 11 years ago! The cover by it’s different is a fresh spin featuring a new trap background.

Genre: Electronic

The original tune was already catchy but this remix amps up that factor even more.

 

Part Two

7. CVBZ – 2 Gone

Genre: Pop

It’s hard to classify this style of tune since it drifts around multiple genres. Is it dance, is it pop, is it r&b, is it trap?? Who cares. It’a awesome and you should give it a listen.

 

8. Ontonic & Jetique – Far Away

Genre: Deep House

Would love to blast this dancing tune on a dark dancefloor.

 

9. Loud Luxury – Body (Tim Gunter Edit)

Genre: Dance

I’m glad Tim Gunter released this catchy remix to the masses.

 

10. Tinlicker – Dream With Somebody (Extended Mix)

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.

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.

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’.

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)

Love the vocals in this tune. Also, around the 1:20 marker, the chopped treatment is magic.

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

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.

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.

Awesome bassline and great build up / release on this tune.

 

8. TEPR – Half Below (NEUS Remix)

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)

Genre: Deep House

A darker, more chill track with beautiful vocals. Not a dance number, but more of a relax and listen tune.

Genre: Drum & Bass

A great Lenzman remix. Minimal soulful vocals + dnb = winner.

 

9. Meramek – Know Me


Genre: House

Genre: Deep House

Getting some serious Cali vibes from this tune. I love the vocals by INGLSH and the lyrics really pull at the heart.
