0675 - Closer to Candy

Always love seeing new tracks from Elephante, they always put me in a good mood.  This track featuring vocals from Bishop is stellar, a driving melodic house track that I really fell in love with.  It has catchy melodies mixed with the vocal track that combines with it perfectly!
I love great instrumentation in tracks, as many of you know, and Jazzy songs always seem to have the best use of piano and horns.  Jazz Candy VIP by Nate Harrell is no exception.  This track perfectly blends the magic of electro funk with the great instrumentation and groove that is usually found in Jazz.  It has such a great flow and the dance potential is through the roof!

0674 - Morning UnderRush

Let's kick things off with a stellar track from Rhodz called Morning Rush, and the title couldn't be more fitting in this scenario.  The track feels like you are driving to work just a few minutes behind schedule and are hauling ass on the freeway to try to make up the time.  It has such a happy upbeat feel to it, added perfectly with a sense of urgency in some sequences and with a calm "GOOD MORNING" energy in other parts.
At this point everyone and their mother has heard of Undertale and no matter what their opinion on the game is, you can't deny that the music for the game was absolutely incredible.  Some of the remixes of the tracks have been horrible, but some have also been very good.  One example of one I really enjoyed was the Holder remix of Bonetrousle, its a lot faster than the original but I love the unique spin put on the song while still keeping the feel of the original.  Enjoy!

0673 - Don't ever leave

First up for you listening pleasure is a extremely pleasant track from Tom Swoon and Mosimann called I'm Leaving.  The vocals are absolutely beautiful and the rhythms are catchy as hell, it has been stuck in my head since I first heard it.  Enjoy the drop that hits big but focuses mostly on tonality as opposed to just having a huge bass.

0672 - Please Don't Change

Wasteland hits it out of the park with Change Your Mind.  A deep bass and a hugely dancey vibe, this one has been stuck in my head from the moment I heard it.  The vocals are deep and catchy as hell, the tonality is absolutely perfect, and the builds just left me in a phenomenal place!  Not to mention the addition of horns is flawless, Enjoy!

0671 - Nothing Matters but Your Eyes

First for you today I have a remix from Havsun and Lindhjem of Matt Nash's track Nothing Else Matters.  This remix is smooth as butter, a remix that I actually like better than the original.  It is smooth with is mellow points and then hits big and often with the drops.  Extremely dance-worthy, this one has been stuck in my head for some time.  The melodic drop really puts the nail in the framework of a beautiful track!
Continuing with artists with really strange names, we have Aiobahn and Jh Anu with their killer track City in my Eyes.  It is a really nice melodic track that has a bit of a repetitive nature to it but is overall a very solid song.  Great vocals mixed with amazing tonality make for a truly quality song!

0670 - Throw a GD Parade

Pop can be great in certain circumstances, and this is one of those special situations.  NeZoomie's track Parade is an electro-pop masterpiece. It has an amazing upbeat feel with vocals that are absolutely amazing, mixed with great tonality that honestly just made me want to get up and groove.  Enjoy!

NeZoomie - Parade

0669 - From Uptown to the Ocean

Boy Kiss Girl is the perfect name for an artist who makes tropical house, and the track Ocean from Boy Kiss Girl is just a quality tropical track.  With great instrumentation, vocals that flow with the track really well (I'm not saying they're good), and just a happy flowing vibe!  Enjoy!

Nick Havsen brings us this next remix which is a beautifully melodic deep house remix of Tim Gartz's song Uptown Girl.  This one just flows so well, the tonality is perfect, although the vocals could be dropped to make the song better in my opinion.  A killer track that's been stuck in my head for some time!

0668 - Is it Summer Yet?

Since the weather is getting warm, I am totally comfortable starting to post more summery and happy house music again.  Today we have a track that has been meaning to come to the blog for about a year, but got lost in the mix (see what I did there?).  It is just a feel good summery house track from Distrion called Golden Summer, one that I really enjoyed and got me feeling in a tropical mood!

0667 - Don't Wait And Be Alone

First up today is a great track from Gazzo featuring SugarWhiskey called What You Waiting For.  This one just has a really fun and energizing feel to it.  It's not a amazingly unique song but I love the tones and the energy it gives off is quick moving and extremely dancey!  Enjoy!

Also for you on this Hump Day is a new track from Pegboard Nerds, who I think I can finally listen to without hating everything again, and Grabbitz called All Alone.  This Drumpstep track is a bit strange but I really enjoyed it.  With a great melody and nice big and glitchy bass, this one got me really hyped.  The melodic and calm transition sequences really make the big drops feel so much more epic!

Gazzo - What You Waiting For

Pegboard Nerds & Grabbitz - All Alone

0666 - Relax Satan

First for your ears today is a chilled out trap song from Said the Sky called Book Of Us, and this one has been stuck in my head for some time!  It is a bit different from what is usually stuck up there, but the melodies are so catchy that I catch myself humming it at work.  I think you will really like this one, even if trap music isn't your favorite.
Also up to help you relax today is one of the most chilled out Drum and Bass tracks I have ever heard and it comes to us from Elka.  Games We Play is fast moving and just about the most beautiful song I have heard come out of the Drum and Bass genre in some time.  The tonality is gorgeous, the vocals are hauntingly fitting, and their is a lot of emotion in this one.  Enjoy these two chill tracks!

0665 - Heading Up Technology

First up for you today is another track of Armin Van Buuren's new album called Heading Up High featuring Kensington.  I love this one because it has such a rock feel to it, a bit different from the usual Trance that Armin puts out.  The song is catchy as hell and the rock/trance hybrid really makes for a unexpectedly wonderful track. (Look for Hardwell in the Music Video!)
Also, I have a track from BlackGummy called Plucking Technology.  This big bass track features a catchy and very well put together tonal array, that makes the song feel very futuristic.  I really love it and I hope you do too!

0664 - The Thirst For Games

Goldfish is known for their wonderful saxophone work, and a song just popped up that I forgot about just came back up called Games Continued.  This song is beautiful and I know that many of you may have already heard this before but I haven't shared it here yet and it needs to be shared ASAP.  This song is beautiful and the vocals really give it a beautiful vibe to the wonderful funk vibe.  Enjoy or enjoy again!
Also on the block today is another little something different from Hilltop Hoods.  I am not usually a fan of rap, but these guys do it right.  The Thirst Part 7 combines beautiful backgrounds with a smooth and melodic rap that really put me in a wonderful place.  The track is beautiful and I hope you give it a chance!

0663 - Get Some Rap, Then Get It Live

Good rap mixed with great backtrack can be really incredible, and I hate modern rap so finding a rap song that really resonates with me is fairly hard to do if it was made after 2010.  This one is superb, Mighty and High by Can't Stop Won't Stop.  The flow is absolutely incredible, and the lyrics fit the track really well.  Overall a very well put together and classic feeling rap track, give it a listen and I hope you like it!
I love seeing electronic music performed live, so seeing someone like Madeon and Chromeo live was a mind blowing and life changing way to look at music.  So seeing Haywyre perform his track Endlessly live really switched my perspective on the artist.  Give it a listen, and let his beautiful piano work take you away to another plane.

Can't Stop Won't Stop - Mighty & High

Haywyre - Endlessly (Live Performance)


0662 - How Much Funk Can You Handle?

Funk is easily one of my favorite genres because of the diverse approach that many artists take to the same idea and concept.  First up is a NuFunk track from The Noisy Freaks called Funk You Up.  Its heavily electronic, with stellar vocals, and an interlude that left me just wanting more and more.  Give it a listen, kick up your shoes and just let it take you on an adventure!
Second up is a NuJazz (oh these subgenres are just getting amazing.  First Folk House, and now this?) track from April Fools Music called One Hell Of A Groove.  This one is a bit different with a very unexpected jazz feel and sound that really works in with the bassline and groove much better than I honestly expected that it would.  Enjoy!

0661 - Stuck in my Skull

In homage to one of my other favorite music blogs, today will be about two songs that I have had stuck in my head for quite some time.  The first is the Jerome Tropical remix of DJ Antoine's track Thank You.  This song is beautiful in every sense of the word, the vocals are amazing and beautiful, the message is great, and the smooth tropical sounds are infectious as they come.  This track has been stuck in my head for weeks and I don't want it out!
Second up is perhaps my favorite song I have heard this year, Faded by Alan Walker.  This song is the definition of beauty in music.  It brings out some strong emotions in me, seeming to hook me emotionally every single time that I listen to it.  It is a bit slower and not as intense as other tracks, but carries so much weight and beauty.  I hope you like it as much as I do!

DJ Antoine - Thank You (Jerome Tropical Remix)

Alan Walker - Faded



0658 - Mashup Smashup

The White Panda did some really magical stuff with their last album, and I want to share some of my favorite tracks from their new album.  Let's start with the mother fucking Wild Wild West remix, because this one is amazing.  Will Smith crossed with Vicetone to create what could possibly be my favorite mashup ever.  They work together so well, the rap and electronic rhythms, create a masterpiece and I think you'll agree.
My second favorite off the album is the mashup of Syn Cole, Sam Feldt, and Halsey.  This one is just beautiful, one of my favorite tropical house lines mixed in with some really beautiful tonality and mashed up to create a superb track.  Enjoy!

The White Panda - Wild Wild Catch (Will Smith / Vicetone)

The White Panda - Bright Young God (Halsey / Syn Cole / Sam Feldt)


0660 - I Heard You Like Free Shit

First up for you free folks is a track from Shanahan called Never Afraid.  With autotuned sounding vocal samples this one really got me in a good mood.  The great Piano sequences really took me to a great place, and mixed with the feel good progressive drop you really can't go wrong with this track.  Give it a listen and pick up the download!
Second up is a much more mellow chill funk track from AWR and Sonny Alven.  This track is beautiful, also featuring a great piano sequence accompanying the vocals.  It goes from chill and then gets really funky during the chorus.  I hope you like a groove to it as much as I did!

0659 - Give Me That Sweet Funk

Let's get our funk groove back with a wonderful remix from the Lost Kings of Sugar.  This song has such a great happy upbeat vibe and had me grooving in my car like a crazy person, to the point where people were staring.  This track has all the funk that you need to help you get through the day!
