New Music For Your Weekend

Fridays are always the best day for finding new music, and today is no different. The first thing I found upon opening my computer may be my favourite, not just of the day, but of the year thus far. It is Oliver's Inner Circle: Remixes & Rarities. The original release, Full Circle, was in my shortlist for albums of the year here, and this matches it, perhaps even surpassing it. Putting aside my disco funk bias, it is undeniably some of the best sound design I've ever heard. But that's just par for the course with U-Tern and Oligee, who never disappoint when it comes to crafting the cleanest, most crisp sounds. The four new originals are all top notch and the three remixes, brilliant turns on tracks we've come to love.



Of course this was not the only outstanding release today, and while the playlist I've put together below is not entirely made up of today's tracks, they are all new to me. So like last week I've put together a number of random selections that I found and enjoyed today. Once again, no genres, just good music. Listen below and pick up those tracks marked with an asterisk for free download.



Hotwagner - _thro
One of the wonkiest, most unique tracks I've ever heard. Plus it actually seems to work, in that it actually flows and works well together, as opposed to some of the uber glitched out, almost sound-clown type tracks out there. It's hard to wrap your head around, but that's half the fun. Imagine the screw faces if you dropped this in the club; you'd be both a hero and a legend. Just need a download.

Jesse And The Wolf - Selecta (ft. Ghostface Killah, Juelz Santana & Telli)
Fool's Gold always deliver, but I'm not sure I've enjoyed a rap track from them this much since A-Trak's "Piss Test." Even though it's three minutes, it doesn't feel like enough. Several replays for sure.

LeSage & J Whitty - Affinity*
Beautifully chill and smooth with subtle samples teased in the mist of its majesty. Thankfully the snow's melted away here, however this would play beautifully as the snow sparkles and glistens in the sun.

Syskey - Nerven
The kind of stomping bass house we've come to expect from CONFESSION. Yet another club weapon from the rising star that is Syskey. Don't be sleeping on him.

Bingo Players - Devotion (Boehm Remix)*
One of Bingo Players many classics, bolstered with a deep bass house delivery more suited for 2018.

Danni Darries - Different Ways (ft. Scope Joe)*
A more dreamy house delivery than the previous two track. The future feels invoke the awesome image of beach-side, sunset DJ set with a cool breeze and tasty mojito in hand.

Riddimz - Where I'm From (prod. Lamont Dex)*
Is grime supposed to be this smooth? Either way I like it. Lamont Dex's production is strong yet lets Riddimz unique accent shine through. Sneaky good stuff.

DROELOE - Backbone (ft. Nevve)*
How Nevve has not "lost her voice" is beyond me. She's been everywhere lately. Just like her track with Robotaki that was in my playlist last week, she's used to perfection here, not just in her natural vocals, but in the vocal chops. DROELOE's percussion and chord choices are so damn good. Brilliant.

Gigi D'Agostino - L'Amour Toujours '94 (Ibranovski Remix)*
Another classic receiving a 2018 update, but where Boehm's delivers with a more wild, raucous drop, Ibranovski leaves a more tempered touch, staying true to the original. Another excellent club tool.
