0611 - Old Skool Skies

So I know in past posts I have raved about Armin Van Buuren but honestly I honestly haven't been very impressed with his most recent stuff, but there is one song off his album that I really enjoy, Old Skool.  It feels like a party track as opposed to the generic trance and house that he has put out lately.  Good tonality mixed in with a big bass that hits hard and strikes often.  Overall a really great banger track to spend your Wednesday!
Second up today on this Banger Wednesday is from Juicy M called Skies.  It is a great track that has the heavy bass that makes driving dance songs, as well as really catchy melody and vocals that actually fit the track really well.  Not overwhelming itself, this track really caught me off guard as I didn't like it at first but then after actually listening, my ears just gasemed all over my headphones.

0610 - What's Your Story?

Just a heads up for the coming week, Posts will be set to auto publish at 10 am on scheduled days due to me being with family, I will do my best to get them on Facebook but I am not making any promises!
First up is an electro track that I literally can't get out of my head, it is OVERWERK's Tocatta.  This one has everything; it is catchy, melodic, really well put together, and a great spooky build into a heavily melodic drop that doesn't overwhelm.  Give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Second up today is more of a chilled out track that really got me grooving, Killabyte's Our Story.  It is truly beautiful with melodies that mellow you out while making you bob your head.  Catchy tones and beautiful amount of bass combine for a truly amazing track.  Put this one in your ear holes and let me know what you think!

0609 - Make it Better

Two tracks to kick off this holiday week for everyone, the first coming from Thomas Fronix's remix of an Igor Kmet'o track called Flam.  This one honestly took me a few listens to appreciate but I really like the mechanical sound and glitchy tone that it brings to the table.  It has a really nice groove featuring some horns and kinda reminds me of the Cantina Song from Star Wars at some points.  Give it a listen and enjoy!
The second track up today is a new one from Hellberg, whose track The Girl I still listen to at least a few times a week.  This one is very well done and is titled Better.  Great builds, great tonality, catchy beats, and a drop that me car dancing like a fool in traffic this morning.

0608 - What You Dind't Know You Needed

Add this to the list of things you never knew you needed, Aladdin Genie Electro Swing.   Yes you heard me right.  A Friend Like Me by Sim Gretina, is my favorite thing to happen to me this year.  I heard it while watching a video of a guy who did an Aladdin costume with a Magic Carpet using an electric skateboard to make it move.  This is amazing and I hope you enjoy the groovy beat that Sim Gretina lays down!  Also click the down arrow to pick up the download for free!

0607 - Feel The Love Glow

First up on this Day of Bangers, we have a track from Dannic and The Sick Individuals.  Feel Your Love hits hard, heavy, and often.  The drop is very in your face, and the vocals after are a bit chopped up which gives it a very glitchy feel.  The build to the second drop is better than the first in my opinion but overall the track is killer.  Check it out!
Second up is a really nice house track from Thomas Hayes, remixed by Rodrigo Reem.  Neon was a great track by itself and got the proper big remix treatment, and this one is easily my favorite.  A unique drop that doesn't follow norms by stopping the beat in order to go back to the vocals and then going back to the original beat, really caught me off.  The sound is great, and I hope you enjoy it!

0606 - Always Grab A Bull By the Horns

One of my favorites is back with another killer track.  Saturday night has such a great vibe for creating an atmosphere with their songs, and Mr Bull is no different.  I'm not sure what they were going for but this one has such a great bounce vibe to it.  I think its the signature middle eastern sounds that they throw into their music, but I love it and hope you will too!

Saturday Night - Mr Bull

0605 - Take My Hand

Let's start Tuesday off with some feel good tracks, the first being a Tropical House song from Cheat Codes called Follow You.  A feel good tropical house song, the beat is really catchy and the vocals don't feel overwhelming, instead combining really beautifully with the beat.  For sure worth listening to, it made my morning!

Cheat Codes - Follow You

0604 - Roses, Nevermore

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, but back to work means back to the music!  First up today is No More from Pierce Fulton.  This one has a pretty unique feel to it, the drop is simplistic with a nice tonal bass to give it a great sound.  The vocals sound distorted and like something ripped from a 90s alternative song.  Overall a great track to start off the week with!
Also up today is the ZAXX remix of The Chainsmokers' track Roses, a really solid remix of an already catchy and great track.  The remix really brings deep house sounding tonality to the mix of the chorus, blending it really with the vocals already present in the track.  It feels different, and I think it is for sure worth sharing with all of you!  Enjoy!

0602 - The Ceiling Needs Sleep

First up is a little funky preview for tomorrow.  From Ostberg, the track is Walkin' on the Ceiling and it has a really nice mellowed out groove to it that I really enjoy.  The track is super minimal but does a great job really making sure the few elements present do a lot for the song.  The vocals are faded and minimal, the bassline is groovy, and the rhythm is catchy as hell.
Second up is a Fox Stevenson remix of Priority One and TwoThirds' track City Needs Sleep, a track that really caught my attention.  I have loved what Fox Stevenson has done with Drum and Bass over the past few years, and remixing an already slick original from these two can only mean good things.  The remix is tonal, well put together with a really nice build and breakdown, and a big bass during the drop.  Great overall and for sure worth your attention!

0601 - Get Around

This banger comes from Michael Woods using a very classic beat that I just can't place.  It's a catchy song for sure and me dancing in both the car and alone at my desk.  Get Around is catchy, extremely dancy, and the audio feels very throwback to the early 2000s.  Give it a listen and break it down!

0600 - It's All Good, Happy 600!

For our big 600th post (HOORAY I LOVE YOU GUYS) I give you a new track from one of my favorite artists right now.  TheFatRat has been killing it for some time and his new track really goes creative.  The opening sounds like something out of the Lord of the Rings Soundtrack, and then it drops into his signature 8-bit sounding style.  But it keeps that same LOTR theme throughout, moving into beautiful melodies.
Also up on this magnificent post we have a deep track from Mount and Nicolas Haelg called Something Good.  This one is not very complex but for sure makes the most of what it has to offer.  A deep groovy bassline, with great vocals backing it, and a really "get your ass out of that seat and dance" attitude.  Hope you enjoy and here's to hopefully 600 more posts!

0599 - Do it Louder, Do it Bigger, Do it Better

Galantis has been on fire lately, especially with the release of Peanut Butter Jelly, and another one of their new songs really got me to a magical place.  Louder, Harder, Better is a wonderful feel good house track that features some really catchy melodies and a beat that makes you want to get up and dance.  The vocal samples come in during some pretty strange segments but overall the track is a phenomenal!
Galtantis - Louder, Harder, Better

0598 - Just Smile

Funky Friday in full swing with a feel good FutureBass track from SMLE.  It has great gritty sounding vocals, that aren't perfected to the point of overdone, but really give to the song by sounds a little less clean.  The bass is bumpin, the melodies are fabulous, and the song as a whole really comes together nicely.  Feel good track for your feel good weekend!  See you all on Monday!

0597 - Bring Me Back

So lets slow things down a little bit, starting with the Fareoh remix of XYLO's track Afterlife.  This remix is stellar, chilled out with a little dash of bass.  The tonality is stellar and the drop feels superb, a little 8-bit mixed with a some progressive really make for a solid remix.  Give it a listen and let it mellow you out!
Second up on this day before the weekend is from Codeko called Lunar.  A great overall track that features beautiful interludes mixed with a catchy drop that had me dancing in the car and tapping my foot from behind my desk.  This House track may not seem like anything special at first, but give it a listen , give it a chance, and I know you will like it as much as I do!

0596 - Pirates are Haunting the Mansion

So Pegboard Nerds may have made the most ridiculous Halloween Track to date.  Taking samples of both vocals and audio from Luigi's Mansion to make a Dubsteppy confusing soundscape.  The tonal sections are beautiful, and very reminiscent of the game, but the "Mario" vocal samples are a bit strange.  Overally not bad for a Halloween track, and I can't wait until this gets mixed into someone's set.  I CRAVE IT.
Saturday Night has been absolutely killing it by creating atmospheres for their songs, as both Sheriff and Saloon created such great visuals in my head.  Well they are back with another track called Pirates, and this one follows the formula to perfection.  With parts that sound like the orchestral soundtrack from Pirates of the Caribbean, to great drops that feel like a pirate ship is stalking you on the water.  Another great track, I can't wait to see what they do next!
