Flowing directly into a bass-infused backdrop and Robin’s powerful vocals which draw listeners in from the start, a feeling of nostalgia becomes apparent. Just imagine you are with your best friends poolside and the vibes are flowing. Suddenly this re-work comes on and you put that margarita down and let these stunning vocals and forward-think signatures fully takeover. Catch the waves with Jauz as he seamlessly blends uplifting piano chords, bass-driven elements, and reverberating frequencies to fully compliment Robin’s breathtaking vocals which are undeniably the highlight of the classic. Singing your heart out is easy, but Jauz showcases his signature bass-driven sound to keep you dancing all day long. Kicking off the new year with all the right vibes, this eclectic producer has hit all the right notes with this one.

Now returning to Deadbeats with the sixth instalment of the aforementioned series, GRiZ has seemingly outdone himself once more. Teaming up with Jauz on ‘No Doubt,’ the two icons have created an anthem that will transport you back an entire decade, delivering wubs and wobbles capable of destroying the strongest of foundations. It’s always fun to hear an exquisite take on old-fashioned dubstep with modern sound design, and GRiZ and Jauz have executed to a tee. Also part of Bangers[6].Zip are a collaboration with Blunts & Blondes that is equally a wonky as the opening track, in addition to a heavier yet still fun solo piece titled ‘Brain Fuzz.’

More GRiZ. What more could one want? Dive in below.

While all the songs on this collaboration are great in their own right, there are a few that stand out above the rest and demand multiple listens.

Bumpy Teeth

Those who have been in the electronic music scene for a while know Subtronics’ name and his impressive producing skills. With his uncanny ability to create catchy drops that have young teens going crazy on Tik Tok, he’s got the spotlight on him to see what he does next. In this collaborative banger ‘Bumpy Teeth,’ Subtronics and Zeds Dead get back to the good shit that we all know and love: fun ad libs and melodic switches that keep us hooked. Sometimes when it comes to collaborations, Subtronics style is only allowed to shine through every once and awhile, but the moment this song starts, you know it’s Subtronics unique flare. It’s trippy and zooms in and out, it has the uncanny ability to create a visual journey for the listeners just with the music. ‘Bumpy Teeth’ is heavy throughout and dripping with bass. The low ends and the high hats blend together perfectly and can truly only be appreciated blasting at full volume in your car or headphones. His collaboration solidifies his place on the Deadbeats roster as one of the greats. Put this song on at the end of a party and it’s about to be a bumpy ride.

Sound of the Underground

On first listen of the album, this song stuck out to me the most. I know there has been a recent appreciation for Drum and Bass in the electronic world (finally!) but to hear it on a Deadbeats album was pleasantly surprising. The track, which is aptly titled ‘Sound of the Underground,’ was the lead single for the album and was produced with none other than DnB legend, Urbandawn. The unique style of Urbandawn when it comes to Drum and Bass exemplifies his Brazilian roots and is known to switch up styles halfway through.  For these very reasons, it’s no surprise that this song caught my attention.

‘Sound Of The Underground’ starts out gloomy and spooky before breaking into the classic DnB breakbeat that we’ve all come to love, but it’s when the song hits the halfway mark that it truly blooms. In ‘Sound of the Underground’ Urbandawn throws all genres to the wind and switches styles, allowing for Zeds Dead to fold in bass and interweaving a myriad of different sounds that blend together in the most perfectly disjointed way. ‘Sound of the Underground’ is an unadulterated showcase of the musicality that Zeds Dead and Urbandawn possess and one of my favorites.

Just Wanna

If you aren’t sure you like electronic music or if you are hesitant about trying big scary Dubstep, then this song is just for you. Loge21 are the kings at blending house with hip-hop breakdowns, inviting people in that are on the fence about house music (which, come on guys, it’s 2020, get with the program). They entice outsiders to a genre that they never even thought about it. I guarantee if you put on a house song, everyone will end up bopping their head at some point. With ‘Just Wanna,’ Loge21 and Zeds Dead create the perfect gateway song. It’s a little bit more on the bass side than Loge21 usual put out, but it still has that house base line that we know and love. It also helps that Polina’s vocals sit so effortlessly breathy on top of the production, giving you those 1990’s underground Chicago rave vibes. It’s simple, but fun and doesn’t command the listener to think too much. It’s here to make you groove on a Friday night or power walk to work on Monday morning, nursing a major hangover, and sometimes that’s all you can ask for from a song.

The post PEEKABOO Slaps New Life into Classic Track ‘Lights Go Down’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

However, this itch for unreleased tracks that fans have had for months has finally come to an end today with the release of Jauz’s first full-length album titled The Wise and The Wicked. With the announcement of the project in late July and the full tracklist shared just over ten days ago, this last month has been a suspense-filled four weeks for Jauz fans across the world. With 20 artists, 18 songs, 5 chapters and 3 worlds, The Wise and The Wicked is truly the epitome of everything Sam Vogel has worked on over his career.

The album sees Jauz teaming up with fellow bass legends as well as unlikely collaborators to create an epic journey. A prologue with Madsonik is followed by a highly-anticipated track with Tisoki titled ‘Babylon’ that is reminiscent of the dubstep that we all fell in love with ages ago, and the dancefloor heater ‘In The Zone’, which was the first single from the album and features grimy vocals from Example.

The following chapter is a change in pace from the beginning of the album, featuring the previously released ‘Diamonds’ alongside Kiiara and a soft future-house-turned-future-bass track highlighted by complex drums and soothing vocals from fabrice titled ‘Eager’, before being capped off with a chill trap tune with Krewella. A change in chapter brings about the dirty heater ‘Motherfuckers’ with Snails, the wildly trippy and perhaps most boundary-pushing Jauz track ever titled ‘Acid or Techno’, and ‘Get Widdit’ which features classic Jauz bass complimented by XX92’s garage roots and Bru-C’s distinct vocals.

The final two chapters are up to you to discover, but you can look forward to an emotional collaboration with Adventure Club and the late Kyle Pavone, as well as genres ranging from drum & bass to trap and bass house. The Wise and The Wicked may not be your cup of tea for the entire ninety minutes, but you’re bound to find a few tracks that are worthy of bumping on repeat. Stream the full album below!

40. Big Sean – One Man Can Change The World

When most people think about Big Sean, depth isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. I mean he’s most well known for tracks like ‘Ass’ and ‘I Don’t Fuck With You’. But if you search within his catalogue, he does have some powerful tracks. Further proving this is ‘One Man Can Change The World’. It’s by far his most inspirational and deep tracks to date. What makes it so powerful is the verse dedicated to his late grandmother. Not only is it deeply personal but it also shines a light on the impact and struggle felt by our grandparents generation, which is often forgotten. Add the beautiful piano and touching clip from Sean’s grandmother and this really tugs at your heart strings.

39. Stand Tall Fists Up – So Duh

Stand Tall Fists Up appeared seemingly out of nowhere with their debut EP. The title track ‘So Duh’ is one of the year’s sleeper smashes. Getting it’s name from the sample that sounds like a soda can opening, this track isn’t quite like anything else. Drawn out synth bends and 808’s build up to an unfamiliar bass heavy drop that’s riddled with lazers. This track sounds like it somehow came back in a time from 2050. It also helped the duo land official remixes for Keys N Krates, TWRK and A-Trak. Drink that in.

38. The Weeknd – The Hills

Abel had a massive 2015 with his chokehold grasp on the R&B/Pop game this year. Not only did the Toronto native break several Billboard records but he finally took full control of his vision and catapulted himself onto the mainstream stage without breaking away from his core audience. One of the years biggest tracks is ‘The Hills’ and rightfully so. The singer’s monotone vocals combined with the slow build of the beat create the perfect moment for a hard drop and boy does it drop. Not only did the record kill the charts, radio and clubs but it also launched a handful of official and unofficial remixes. RL Grime, Nicki Minaj and the rap god Eminem all offered official remixes that propelled the track into the stratosphere. Abel got them hits!

37. Sam Binga ft Warrior Queen – Wasted Days

English producer Sam Binga, along with a few contemporaries, has been responsible for some of the most forward thinking electronic music to come out of the UK in recent years. His high energy blend of footwork and jungle strikes a great balance with fast paced percussion bouncing over droning 808 kicks and biting synths, The term bass music is done justice by Wasted Days (the name of our chosen track, and also the album), with each track featuring a new MC that collaborated with Binga to create each track. Warrior Queen, a well known British MC lends her patois-laced style to this blazing track that features a machine-gun like synth rhythm to propel it forward. Fans of Bingas production style would do well to check out the rest of this album, and some aforementioned contemporaries of this future-jungle style such as Om Unit and Machinedrum.

36. Hudson Mohawke – Very First Breath (Feat. Irfane)

We’ve all wished we could hit a reset button at one time or another. Whether it relates to a relationship gone awry, a great film, or getting high, there is nothing quite like how it feels in the beginning; how it felt the first time; for the first breath.

But we move on.

You could dwell on nostalgia for the past or you can make new memories. You could get signed to Kanye’s GOOD music, produce a 45 minute rap song, create ‘Chimes,’ one of biggest trap anthems of 2014, and then continue to pop out bangers until the cows come home.

But you won’t. You must change; you must evolve. And with Lanterns, this is what Hudson Mohawke has done.

35. UZ – Trap Shit V22

22 versions deep into his acclaimed Trap Shit series, UZ still managed to keep things inventive. Easily the best Trap Shit release of 2015, ‘V22’ blends menacing laughter, inquisitive samples, a smattering of 808s and the bass we’ve come to expect.  Unexpectedly, the masked producer slid in a quick jersey club break complete with break-neck kicks and even a few bed squeaks. The Trap shit series may be dead but this will make sure it’s not forgotten.

34. Mr. Carmack – Solutions

This is Carmack being Carmack at his finest. It’s dark, gritty, hard hitting and unforgiving. The Donnis sample “I can’t even feel my fucking face” is sure to offend casual listeners, but this isn’t for casual listeners, this is for the weirdos and us weirdos couldn’t get enough.

33. Your Old Droog – Porno for Pyros

For 90’s fans Your Old Droog is a godsend. From his boom-bap production selection to his bars and nostalgic flow, he’s a dream come true for hip-hop heads that value lyricism over hype. With arguably the best wordplay in the game right now, Droog is guaranteed to have you hitting replay. No record showcases this better than the Kenison cut ‘Porno For Pyros’. It’s 3 minutes of pure bars over a beat that’s as cold as NY Winters. Here’s a taste of the fire, “Back in the line of fire, sayin’ my style’s dated is like checkin’ to see if wine expired, Salut, thought of that bar in the car, cheffin’ up in the truck like halal food, Got them raps for you, I ain’t talkin’ gyros, get on the mic and spit that porno for pyros.”

32. Goldlink – Dance on Me

2015 was Godlink’s year. After landing on the XXL Freshmen list the DMV native dropped his debut album And After That, We Didn’t Talk. The lead single ‘Dance On Me’ is the perfect embodiment of Goldlink’s future bounce sound. With remixes from heavyweights like Mr. Carmack, PYRMDPLAZA, and Fwdslxsh it only got bigger. This track is proof that Goldlink is here to stay.

31. Jeremih – Planes Remix w/ Lido, Chance The Rapper and The Social Experiment

This is why I would argue now is the greatest time ever for music. One of the most forward thinking producers in electronic music connected with one of the biggest independent rappers and his band to remix an R&B record. 10 years ago the thought of this happening would’ve been ludicrous. From Lido literally pulling samples from his flight to Europe, to Chance’s off kilter flow and some beautiful instrumentation, this made the original pale by comparison. It also took Jeremih’s vocals to new heights (sorry I had to).

30. Big Sean – Blessings feat. Drake and Kanye West

Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise started the year off right with ‘Blessings’ as the follow up single to his ‘IDFWU’. With a beat provided Vinyl; Sean Don, Drizzy and Yeezus rap about their blessings while ensuring their peers that they should count theirs. All three provide solid verses and considering this track had everyone saying “bless”, “blessed” or “bless up” it is clear this song had some impact.

29. Justin Martin & Ardalan – Function feat PartyPatty

Claude Von Stroke’s Dirtybird label is well known for producing bumpin’ house music with a consistently unique feel to it. Released on their 10 year anniversary compilation album, released in early 2015, ‘Function’ is a very cool, simple track that could be heard on dancefloors and festivals over the summer and beyond. Producers Justin Martin & Ardalan’s collaborative effort is a fairly minimal track, driven by a simple 808-sounding blassline and vocalist PartyPatty’s hook. This track is a total crowd pleaser. Fans of this bass line driven house style should check out the rest of the compilation album, and dig deeper into Dirtybirds’ deep lineup of great house producers including Friend Within, Shiba San, and many others.

28. Tiga – Bugatti (Jauz Remix)

When Tiga and Push T connected for ‘Bugatti’ it was big, but it lacked a certain umph. Pusha’s bars were hard but the beat with just a little too minimalistic. Thankfully Jauz seemed to feel the same and decided to blow the doors off the track with an epic rework. Melding hip-hop with UK Garage, bass house and some dubstep influence, Jauz crafted a re-imagination that’s darker and harder than Pusha T himself. EGHCK.

27. Keys N Krates – Save Me

Toronto trap trio continued to do what they do best; crafting weird rap beats that are infectious and hard hitting. Connecting with Katy B, ‘Save Me’ has a more approachable, radio friendly sound without straying too far from their signature. This track held the Summer down and became a festival staple and highlight. With a future bass undertone it proved their ability to evolve without selling out.

26. Skepta – Shutdown

2015 finally saw Grime make its way to North America. With all the major music blogs and Drake giving the cosign, Skepta became the ambassador of the genre and ‘Shutdown’ was his anthem. From a massive North American tour to a performance at OVO Fest Skepta took over and Shutdown.

25. Kanye West – All Day

Kanye debuted this song at an award show, which award show doesn’t matter but that performance was of epic proportions. ‘All Day’ is a trap banger featuring Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom and a handful of other writers. With Kanye’s flow matching the aggression of the beat, ‘All Day’ is a braggadocious banger that is attached to Kanye’s new album SWISH (whenever it comes out). The debut of the track, the production and the amount of remixes it spawned are a clear indication that Kanye hasn’t lost his footing and he is still one of the greatest, all day.

24. Travis Scott – Antidote

Travis Scott’s Rodeo finally hit the net this year and ‘Antidote’ served as one of the lead singles from his debut.  Scott fans waited patiently for this and when it was released it caught fire. Maintaining the deep trap sound Scott is famous for, ‘Antidote’ sees Travis Scott floating over the beat with an intoxicated flow.

23. A.G Cook – Beautiful (Rustie Edit)

The PC Music sound isn’t for everyone. It can sometimes leave a desire for something more human, something more rounded. Enter Rustie. With his signature phased out sound and emotion evoking drops, this Scottish producer flips a plastic and bouncy sounding ‘Beautiful’ into a powerful festival banger without altering the core of the song. A late edition to a jam-packed 2014, ‘Beautiful’ is a welcomed return to the sound found on his 2011 debut, Glass Swords.

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/181696940″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

22. Masego & Medasin – Shut Up and Groove

When Medasin and Masego came together for The Pink Polo they crafted something truly extraordinary. By combining jazz with trap and future bass they created a new sound that they dubbed trap house jazz. ‘Shut Up and Groove’ sees jazz adlibs, gorgeous saxophone riffs, stunning synth work and some hard hitting bass drops. It’s groovy and upbeat with a touch of nasty. The sheer inventiveness of the track make it one of the strongest efforts of 2015.  

21. Bryson Tiller – Exchange

Bryson Tiller emerged on to the scene this year with powerful releases. Whether it was a single for the radio or a SoundCloud loosie, Tiller showed up and showed out. His debut album TRAPSOUL featured 14 tracks, all of which are well produced and put together joints. One of the best tracks from the album and of the year is ‘Exchange’. Produced by The MeKanics, ‘Exchange’ is the definition of what it means to exist in this new genre of trapsoul. The structure and sound of the beat contain both R&B/Soul and Trap elements with deep bass lines, hard hitting kicks and a sultry soulful sample. Young Tiller also does a great job with his writing and no doubt he effortlessly vibes over the whole beat, blurring the lines between singing and rapping. At number 21 you got the newest star in the game, Bryson Tiller.

100. Choppa Dunks – Fade

100 bpm twerk anthems with pitched down rap vocals are nothing new or terribly original. Yet somehow Choppa Dunks managed to make ‘Fade’ feel incredibly fresh. Something about the swagged bars and distorted low-end bass make this inescapable and absolutely murderous live. It’s the type of low end bass that you feel in your chest even if you’re listening with headphones on. It reverberates deep into your soul and that’s something special.

99. G-Eazy – Random

G-Eazy hit a lot of cities in 2015 performing music from his debut album with little snippets of singles from his latest. One of the illest tunes from his latest offering is ‘Random‘ and trust us, this definitely deserves a spot on the list. The track features an aggressive and ignorant beat and an equally aggressive flow from the Bay area rapper. Though it hasn’t reached new heights in popularity, the track was only fully released recently but was a major hit among his core fan base.

98. Fetty Wap – 679 feat. Remy Boyz

What a year for the Paterson, New Jersey come up. In 2015, Fetty Wap jumped on the scene with an arsenal of hits, one of which happens to be ‘679’. It technically dropped in 2014, but was re-released with a video in 2015. With a snappy, feel good beat combined with an infectious hook, ‘679’ became a big hit. The track also features some of Fetty’s Remy Boyz including Monty and P-Dice. Of all the verses on this track the clear winner is Monty who brings a very Mase-like flow to open, hold and close out his verse. The melody on ‘679’ feels like early 2000’s stunt type shit but it’s got that 2015 trap flavour with its drum arrangement.

97. Drake and Future – Jumpman

Both of these artists individually had huge years. Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late went platinum while Future’s DS2 proved that his work ethic matched his consistency in making hits. When the two rappers began hinting towards a collaborative project, the Internet went nuts. Some fans went as far as creating a website that hosted a countdown to said project. However, it was actually revealed through a few Instagram posts from Drizzy and Hendrix that they would release an 11 track collaborative mixtape titled What A Time To Be Alive. The tape dropped September 20th and ‘Jumpman’ instantly became a fan favourite. With Metro Boomin behind the production, Drake and Future stunt all over the beat with one of the year’s catchiest hooks (“Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman!”). You can bet this song will still ring off in the new year but it definitely killed in the latter half of 2015. It’s basic AF but you love it and so do we.

96. Lil Dicky – Save Dat Money feat. Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan

The most serious funny rapper with the funniest name ever did a track with one of todays biggest hitmakers (Fetty) and Rich Homie Quan – and it killed. Lil Dicky rose to fame throughout 2015 with the help of this single and the incredible music video that came along with it. The rapper used a pop rap beat, added Fetty as the hook man and got half a verse from Rich Homie Quan – blending his marketing chops with his undeniable lyricism and flow.

95. Milo & Otis – Trap Arms

How can you not like a track dedicated to the genre’s greatest body part dance. In the past few years trap arms have become a global phenomenon, so it’s only right someone dedicated a track to them. With a cinematic intro, a fair bit of humour and a smashing trap drop, this became a certified trap anthem. Arm yourself.

94. Future – Fuck Up Some Commas

Future had a big year. A phenomenal year. His tracks were everywhere – radio, clubs, cars and social networks. DS2 performed commercially and satisfied critically. When Future dropped ‘Fuck Up Some Commas’ it took a couple weeks for it to bubble to the top of the trap but when it did, it was instantly everywhere. Produced by Southside, ‘Fuck Up Some Commas’ featured a money hungry Future working to earn and spending it all in one night. The catchy hook coupled with a banging trap beat was an easy home run for Future Hendrix.

93. Braeden Bailey – Legend

Dallas producer Braeden Bailey breathed new life into Drake’s ‘Legend’ with his synth heavy remix, released on the independent producers’ EP Seven. According to Bailey’s Bandcamp page, the producer is “…searching to find a new sound.” Taking some time to look through and listen to said Bandcamp page reveals the work of a strong up-and-comer with solid production abilities and a respectable output. Keep an eye on Braeden Bailey to continue climbing the ranks in the future.

92. Lady Parts – Samson

What happens when you blend Half Baked samples with abusive percussion and some mind bending sounds? Thankfully Lady Parts decided to find out. ‘Samson’ is a perfect mash of pop culture and raw production that is fully laced. The drum patterns are pure insanity and any time you flip Dave Chappelle successfully you get extra love.

91. Caribou – Can’t Do Without You (Kidswaste & Manilla Killa Cover)

Taking on Caribou’s ‘Can’t Do Without You’ is no simple task. The original packs so much beauty, emotion and progression that most re-imaginations couldn’t begin to simulate. That said, Manilla Killa & Kidswaste managed to do some major justice. Everything about it is different, from the vocals tones to the melodies. What remains in tact is the deep emotional mood that is implored. Twinkling keys meet tuned vocals and massive future bass drops for a lush 2015 sound.

90. Riff Raff – Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz (Jauz Remix)

2015 has been a big year for Jauz. With the Bass House subgenre steadily rising in popularity, Jauz’s solid mix of hard hitting house beats with gritty dubstep-like sound design seems to borrow the best of both worlds, as evident in this Riff Raff remix. Jauz makes great use of Riff Raff’s polarizing style by turning his catchy hook into an anchor for the song while sprinkling in rhymes and pieces of verses to give the track some vocal tone. All while shuffling hi-hat rhythms and a fat, womp-y bassline push the track forward with a fun intensity.

89. Ghastly – Every Night

2015 was a huge breakout year for Ghastly and his strongest offering came in the form of ‘Every Night’. From the gorgeous LA inspired breaks to the massive deep wubs, this track payed homage to the classic house sound all while showcasing the future.

88. Rowdy Rebel – Computers ft. Bobby Smurda (Vices x Gutta Remix)

You’d be hard pressed to find another track that demonstrates the evolution and pushes the boundaries of what Jersey Club can be. The upbeat intro sets an expectation that is absolutely obliterated as gun-cocks give way to one of the hardest club drops you’ll encounter. The viciousness subsides for just long enough for them to hit it once more with a deeper wonkier section. Add to the fact that this can make a hater fall in love with a Rowdy Rebel & Bobby Smurda track and it’s quite a feat.

87. Habstrakt – Gimme ft Badjokes

Dubstep seems to be making somewhat of a comeback – possibly related to the rise in popularity of Bass House, a subgenre frequented by some modern dubstep producers that allows wiggle room outside of the usual dubstep tempo and production practices. Habstrakt, a (mostly) dubstep producer, pushes all the right buttons with his track ‘Gimme’; a thumping house track with enough wobbles and metallic synths to satisfy the basshead in us all. By pushing stylistic boundaries and working to create a fusion between traditionally opposed genres, this track, and others like it give us that dark and grimey sound we all know, but in a new package that moves faster and is less alienating than the somewhat undesirable label that dubstep has become in recent years.

86. Tsuruda x G Jones – Push

When two unique and creative producers like G Jones and Tsuruda team up, you know the result is going to be interesting. While both of these producers had big years and released some solid tracks, this one is by far our favourite for its creativity alone. What starts off as a head-bobbing West-coast style trap beat quickly melds into something much more, utilizing a plethora of interesting sounds and building some serious energy that surely moved more than a few dancefloors in 2015. Keep an eye on both of these producers in 2016 as they will surely continue to reinvent old styles and push the boundaries of whatever genre-labels us woeful music bloggers impart on them.

85. Jack Ü – Febreze feat. 2 Chainz

Diplo and Skrillex formed their partnership long ago but it was in 2015 where they killed the charts, radio, clubs and festivals with their Jack Ü tracks. ‘Febreze’ featured a hype trap beat complete two verses from 2 Chainz formerly known as Tity Boi. While the horns wail over a combination of epic builds and equally epic drops Chainz spits the hilarious but effective line “I’m the shit, I should have febreze on me”, inspiring the track title and the several vocal chops throughout the track. The duo’s production skill is unquestionable and they shine throughout the year but shine brighter on this track securing the 85th spot in the top 100 – and surely some of the top 20.

84. Kehlani – The Way (Gladiator Remix)

As Gladiator continued to explore a wide variety of genres in 2015 they’re future R&B  rework of Kehlani’s ‘The Way’ was by far their strongest offering. The progression and movement from downtempo to sunshine future bass and back around make this one truly special. The breakdown for Chance’s verse helps to make it a focal point while creating a completely different realm of emotion. Kehlani got remixed a lot this year, but this is the one you need to be listening to.

83. Branchez – Cuenta

After remaining quiet for most of the year Branchez crept out of the jungle with a fierce mind-fuck of a trap smash. ‘Cuenta’ packs everything from verbal gun shots, to military inspired snare rolls, high-pitched vocal chops and a bazooka of bass. This is the auditory equivalent of chewing too much Khat while wandering through an enemy infested the jungle, but way more fun.

82. Rihanna – BBHMM (Brenmar x Gutta Remix)

In a year littered with ‘BBHMM’ remixes one stood above them all. The collaborative effort of Brenmar and Gutta took the smash hit to the club. It was as infectious and catchy as the original but took it to new heights. The added Drake samples, vocal chops and immense energy made this an irresistible favourite.

81. Madeon – You’re On (Feat. Kyan)

Hugo Pierre Leclercq (Madeon) became a viral sensation in 2011 with a YouTube video of him performing a mashup he called ‘Pop Culture.’ It contains almost 40 different songs live on a Novation Launchpad. It’s an impressive example of how remixing and producing can be adapted into a live show.

When his first official album, Adventure, dropped in March, I didn’t have any expectations. I felt that his style was a bit gimmicky, perhaps because of his instrument of choice. Surprisingly enough, Adventure is a cohesive and interesting electronic album; a linear project that gives the impression that it is, in fact, an adventure. From start to finish, key vocal additions and catchy pop arrangements end up contributing to one of my favourite dance albums of all time, and ‘You’re On’ is represents it well.
