0632 - Back to Grind, Just Relax

Let's start off the week with some relaxing tracks, no matter if you are going back to school or back to work, these are necessary!

First up is a track from Modl called Years From Now, and it is so chill and relaxing it almost put me to sleep this morning.  Starting out really relaxing with great instrumentation and a beautiful glitched out section, this one had me in a great mood from the moment I pressed play!
Second up is the Bee's Knees (love the name) remix of Panama Wedding's track Infinite High.  This one is wonderfully melodic and knocked my socks off with the wonderful mix of 8bit sounds, and the lyrics only help to knock this out of the park.  I hope you enjoy these and remember to relax!

0631 - Bonus End of the Year Mixes

Figured I would make a bonus post with some of my favorite mixes of 2015.

Nik Cooper is a channel that produces a lot of huge bangin tracks covering everything from Progressive House to Melbourne Bounce to Electro House has put out a stellar mix that encompasses all 3 genres.  And the best part is, if you don't like one of the genres, he has put in links to allow you to jump past that genre.  It's worth your time I promise!

Armada who I am honestly not a fan of all the time (other than their deep house which has been on point lately) have also put out a stellar year mix.  Featuring their chill stuff all the way to the high intensity insanity, this one is not to be missed!

My favorite of the year for sure has to be the staff pick of 2015 version of the Monstercat Podcast.  Staying to their amazing reputation, Monstercat really kills it with this megamix.  With staff introductions throughout the podcast, it is cool to hear from all the people who provide some of the best music out there!  Give it a listen and I hope that you will love it as much as I do!

0630 - The Miracle of Funk

On this most funkiest of Fridays we start with a wonderful Tropical House track from Martin Jensen called Miracles.  The vocals are sung by Bjornskov and work beautifully over the piano.  The melodies are a bit slower but so flawlessly done, I couldn't resist posting this one!
Second up is a funkalicious track from DJ EQ called Tres Palmas and this one takes the love of funk to a whole new level.  This track has the groove, the great bassline, amazing tonality, and just made me want to get up out of my chair and dance like a fool alone!  Give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it!

0629 - Don't Miss Out

Project 46 was one of the first artists I really latched onto when I was diving head first into the electronic music scene.  Their new song is beautiful and extremely well done.  Signs has stellar vocals from the very talented Shantee, and the relaxing and exquisite rhythm of the track really work extremely well together.  Give it a listen!

Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike recently made a track with Ne-Yo, and then Andrew Rayel got his hands on it and remixed the crap out of it.  He still keeps the original feel with the classic Ne-Yo contribution and a killer remix that really elevates it to a new level.  The drop is pretty good, I honestly like the first one better than the second.   Enjoy!

0627 - Our Adventures

Mark Dreamer put out a song a little over a month ago, and it isn't actually going to be released until later in the month and I want to share it with you all.  Adventures is such a feel good track, full with catchy tonality and a driving bass that really put me in a fabulous mood.  The drop just exudes positivity and I can't wait for the full release!
Headhunterz, Crystal Lake, and Reunify all came together to create a really killer track called The Universe is Ours.  Its a really killer track that features great vocals, killer melodies, and a drop that had me confused for a second before I realized what was going on.  Overall a killer track that I hope you enjoy!

0628 - Killer With No Control

On this banger Wednesday we start out with a Future House track from Jordi Rivera called Cereal Killer.  Full of futuristic sounds and a very bouncy bass, this one had me dancing in my chair the first time that I heard it.  Give it a listen and let me know if you like it!
Usually all Melbourne Bounce sounds the same, and even though this one from Dirty Palm sounds fairly generic I really enjoyed it.  Lose Control features a good mix of vocals from male and female vocalists, and it just gives off a really great party feel.  Give it a try!

0626 - The Trouble With The Strong Ones

First up this week is a remix from Le Visiteur and My Oh My  of Armin van Buuren's track Strong Ones off his recently released album.  This remix keeps all the wonderful tonality of the originail, something which seems really hard to find in remixes of this song.  Adding a deep house feel really takes this one to a new level, groovy and tonal levels of fabulosity.
Second up is a really groovy and just overall well done track from Marcus Marr and Chet Faker called the Trouble With Us.  It just has a very classic sound and a great groove that is complimented by the vocals, the bassline, and just an overally great design.
