0284 - Funkiest of Funkdays

The Knocks are incredible, I don't think anyone here can disagree with that.  Great music production, slick vocals, just always delivering something beautiful and worth listening to.  Their new one is no exception,  Classic is a really beautiful song that mixes all their best elements.  A nice progressive funk chord set, great vocals mixed over a variety of instruments, and just an overall happy feel.

Second up today, R3hab is back with a really special remix.  This track from Mapei called Don't Wait showcases her truly beautiful voice and talent, then R3hab steps in and gives it a really special funk and house feel.  Much more on the chill side but worth a listen for sure!

0193 - Bonafide Surprises

There are three things that people who continually read this blog.

1.  I am a huge fan of funk.  Funk is just such a versatile genre as compared to electro house or other house music that seems to be very similar over all the tracks and artists that it covers.  One of my favorite funk duos is Chromeo, because they just make feel good and incredible emotional music that makes you want to move.  Their new track Jealous is hot as ever, with great funk, a really great upbeat feel, and a killer video to boot.  Check it out below and let me know if you think it stacks up to their past work!

Chromeo - Jealous

2.  Trap is not my favorite genre.  It does have its high points, but overall the genre just really doesn't appeal to me.  I cant really pinpoint it but I know I am more attracted to melodic stuff like prog. house, funk, and chill.  Like I always say thought, music can be surprising.  I did find a trap song the other day that I found myself enjoying, then did a double take and realized "THIS IS TRAP WAHT".  It surprised me and if you don't like trap then it may surprise you as well.

3.  Chill and Relaxing music hits me in a place that just carries me away from the stress and chaos.  Something about chill music helps me to escape, and I can't really explain it any more.  I hope you have all heard the new Porter Robinson track Sea of Voices, If you haven't then STOP.  LISTEN HERE (Sea of Voices - Original).  This remix from LEVI is great and helps to bridge the gap between the chill and electro house.  Is this better then the original?  You tell me!

071 - Manipulating Monday

I will be honest with you, mashup Monday is getting hard for me to write once a week and discover new mashups because I seem to be posting the same artists over and over again.  Therefore Monday will now be treated as a normal music day, with mashups thrown in every other week still on this day.  I will look around and see if maybe I am just looking in the wrong places and will bring it back asap if this is the case.

Today I bring you a special treat.  As most of you know, tomorrowworld was just recently.  To those who don’t know what this is, it is one of the biggest electronic music festivals next to Ultra and basically has everyone you ever need to hear and see.  Well, for those of us who didn’t want to camp out for 3 days, the website This Song is Sick has posted all of the sets from the best of the best.  Most of the big names have hour long sets and some of the lesser known ones have 30min sets but all are great and for sure worth your time!  My favorites are the sets from Armin and R3hab!  Take this opportunity to listen to an artist you may not have heard much from and find a new talent!  None are available for download but all are available to stream for free!  Enjoy and see you back here tomorrow!

 Almost every set from Tomorrowworld! Stream them all Here!

013 - We'll be back to Bangers

This day is quickly becoming my favorite day to post. Bangers are some of my favorite songs to listen to and I really love sharing with people the songs that should be huge but are not. Today's track is an incredible remix by R3HAB that I am shocked is not huge in the EDM world.  This comes off as an essential remix in my book, one that evey fan of this genre should know about. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
