Top 100 Tracks Of 2019: 75-51

Continuation of the list started yesterday: from 100-76, which also includes my disclaimer/preamble. Soundcloud playlist here and Spotify here.

#75: Flume ft. Vera Blue - Rushing Back (MJ Cole Remix)
While Flume had a huge year as countless clamored for his mixtape, you won't find any of those tracks here. Instead he appears in this list twice having released a few sick singles that made way for fantastic remixes. Here MJ Cole kills the catchy "Rushing Back" with a brilliant bleepy flip that makes masterful use of Vera Blue's vocals. A spine-tingling sensation.

#74: Jai Paul - He
The enigmatic master returned in 2019 and he seemingly hasn't missed a step with two sublime singles. And of course I gravitated towards the b-side, as "He" seemingly delivers more of that genius "Jasmine" vibe. It's soulful and ridiculously satisfying. And of course it showers its listeners in ethereal ecstasy.

#73: Barney Lister - Matchu
Not the only track in this list I first came across in a Magic Tape mix. Of course it's got the awesome alchemy one would expect for an inclusion in said series. It's beautiful, buoyant and oh so easy to dance to. That said, the slippery, squelching groove that emerges as the track progresses is some kind of sick, satisfying perversion.

#72: Angelov - Chero
An alien awakening, this is some serious top notch techno and one hell of a debut record. The whole EP is sick and I really thought about adding "Retrida" to the list but the vocal feel of this one took the cake. Like the others on this EP, Angelov's abilities shine the strongest when all elements come together in supremely satisfying syncopated fashion.

#71: Stanton Warriors ft. Sian Evans - Up2U (René LaVice Rooftop Remix)
Like so much of my favourite DnB this year, this one absolutely explodes out of the gate. It's got so much to like. The piano. Sian Evans' vocals. The way the two play together: <chef's kiss>. Then of course there's the drops that play like a defibrillator forcing you onto the dance-floor. A roaring success.

#70: Kölsch & Sasha - The Lights
The kind of epic, clean quality you would expect from a legendary pairing like this. Once you've heard that unreal lead line you'll never hear the track the same again, as you wait breathlessly for it to kick in. I know I'm doing that right now as I listen to it yet again. And as good as that lead line is, it's nothing without the duo's deliciously effective backing.

Enlightened Listening for June 14

We've got an awesome summery edition of Enlightened Listening this week. There's some funky grooves, divine disco, heavenly house and more! We start with Pat Lok's Corazón, which features some easy going, glitzy and glamorous numbers. It is then followed by the final track from The Kount and falcxne's fantastically funky REFLEX EP. After that Hayden James comes through with an absolutely divine debut album, building upon the success of some recent singles. It is an instant entrant in the best album of 2019 debate, so do not miss this one.

Taking a bit of a turn, we enter into an section of extended, epic cuts starting with the latest from All Day I Dream, which is some of the coolest, at times acoustic, techno I've ever come across. This is followed by Serge Devant's "It's Like That" which includes a fantastically fitting take from Sébastien Léger.

Changing gears again, we turn towards intoxicating dance numbers starting with Rex The Dog's black hole banger "Vortex." Following that is Annie Mac's Hottest Record In The World, the ingenious Elderbrook track "How Do You." The always awesome Low Steppa then comes through with a supremely satisfying remix of Phil Fuldner. As if that weren't enough disco for you, Moullinex delivers an epic 11 minute explosion of energy in "CLUB COTTON." As with above, the next two tracks offer up some of the coolest sound design and overall production I've ever heard. First Gorgon City stun with a mix of brilliant highs and wickedly licentious lows. Then the combination of Tommie Sunshine and INDO build through a very summery track only to pull the rug out from underneath you, delivering delirium with their incredibly nutty effects. Finally, DJ Zinc unleashes his Crackhouse, Vol. 3 LP with 10 tracks that can only come from the mind of the legendary DJ and producer. Enjoy it all new below!
