Hello fellow music fans!

Welcome to 2018! I’m back from a self-imposed hiatus. I hope to bring you some fresh tunes this year and keep the music love flowing. Do you like what you hear on this countdown? Hit me up on twitter (where you can also see what I’m listening to at the moment), or check out thistune.rocks for all kinds of musical selections.

Much love and here’s to a new year,
_Sam

1. Lookas & Able Heart – On My Own

Genre: Trap

What makes this tune is the stellar vocals from Able Heart.

2. DROELOE – Backbone ft Nevve

Genre: Electronic

A tune with another set of awesome vocals from Nevve. Love the message this tune relays to its’ listeners – get up and go do something.

3. Lost Frequencies – Send Her My Love (R.O Remix)

Genre: Dance

This tune is dedicated to all those who got away. I was in love with the original, but this remix is fantastic. Get ready to be both in deep thought, and head bob simultaneously.

4. Lauv – I Like Me Better (Hälder Remix)

Genre: Trap

I love this tune because I can visualize a complete story when I listen to it. Enjoy this awesome remix.

5. ZHU – Hometown Girl (Khamsin Remix)

Genre: Dance

ZHU’s tracks are amazing enough, so remixes are no easy task. Khamsin puts a beautifully chill spin on ‘Hometown Girl’. Get ready for some summer vibes.

6. Taska Black – Sandpaper (ft. Ayelle)

Genre: Electronic

This month is all about the vocals. Ayelle provides soothing vocals set up against an emotional backdrop.

7. Autograf – Smells Like Teen Spirit (ft. Queen Sessi)

Genre: Electronic

As a huge Nirvana fan, I was a bit hesitant to check this tune out. I’m glad I did. It’s a lovely (and much more subdued) take on the original. Kudos Autograf.

8. Marc Goone – rewind (prod. judge)

Genre: Hip-Hop

Continuing with the vocal theme this month, enter Marc Goone. Rewind is a solid musical introspection on the past.

9. A Different Way (Noizu Remix) [feat. Lauv]

Genre: Dance

Heading to the end of this month’s countdown, I wanted to add something a little less heavy. This is a great remix of one of the biggest tunes of last year.

10. Tchami – World To Me (feat. Luke James)(MK Remix)

Genre: House

With all the 90s nostaglia floating around, I get that kind of vibe with this track.

Top Monthly Tunes – August 2015

August 31, 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.
