Undiscovered Beats Chart October 2013

Hey Everyone,

So sorry that I've not been able to get this blog done sooner. I've been quite busy this month but luckily for you I have still be making note of the best tracks. This month because I've got so many great tracks the top 10 will turn into a top 20 and I'll have 10 tracks that just missed out. You should take note and listen to the "Blast from the Past" section as that track would have made it into the top 3 this month if it have had been more recent.

I have just made a new hip hop mix for you all to here on the link below:

    THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

    SecondCity - I Wanna Feel


    SecondCity gets the top spot this month with his track "I Wanna Feel". The news in house music is that melodic piano riffs with heavy basslines are in at the moment going from Paul Woolford's - "Untitled" last month. "I Wanna Feel" starts off with a huge garage vibe with loud hi-hats and kick drums accompanied with a distorted female vocal. We then hear that amazing piano riff to get us excited and leaves us begging for a huge bassline. We hear the rolls of the drums and BANG! We then hear the piano taken out of the equasion and a heftier bassline takes us by surprise. The track sounds so simple yet it's sure to tear up dance floors. What a banger!





    BLAST FROM THE PAST
    This Months Tune From The Moon is:

    First Choice - Love Thang (Genius of Time Edit)

    Undiscovered Beats September 2013 Chart


    Hey Everyone,

    So September was an amazing month for me... Getting to head to Croatia for Unknown Festival in Rovinj. I managed to see loads of class acts including T.E.E.D., SBTRKT and Waze and Odyssey to name a few. Cyril Hahn delivered one of the best sets I've ever seen.

    I managed to get loads of great tracks again this month so make sure you listen to as many as you can.

    I have just made a new upbeat mix for you all to here on the link below:

    THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

    Hot Natured - Different Sides



    Hot Natured take this months top spot with their track "Different Sides". Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Luca C and Ali Love make up Hot Natured and their debut album "Different Sides Of The Sun" is an essential album for those interested in house. The song that shines on the album is "Different Sides" with it's articulate lyrics, throbbing bass lines and harmonising tones it proves to be a worthy winner. The track is based around love but expressed in a scientific manner relating to chemistry. it starts with melodic chords accompanied with drip sounding percussion and drums we then hear the high pitched voice of Ali Love to contrast with the low base tones. An amazing track and I'm sure you all agree.

    (There is no youtube video so you will have to listen on Beatport)

    Undiscovered Beats August 2013 Chart

    Hey Everyone,

    So I've been getting back into the swing of things and looking forward to my trip to Croatia for Unknown Festival next month! Just bought a boat party ticket to see Waze and Oddyssey and T.E.E.D. which should be mega!

    This month offers a lot of music that has quite well known already and it's because the quality is amazing. To let you know the track in this months "Blast From The Past" section has only just been discovered by me but it was out in 2007... Check it out it would have been high in my chart if it was recent.

    I have just made a heavy Dirtybird Records sounding mix that can be heard here:

    Undiscovered Chart August 2013


    THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

    Claude VonStroke - Can't Wait



    Claude VonStroke... The head honcho of Dirtybird Records catches this months chart by storm with his track "Can't Wait". It's about time for Mr VonStroke to get back in the game by dropping this album especially with the Dirtybird movement being as fresh as ever. "Can't Wait" is his first release that is a slow dreamy melodic track that brings things back to basics and proves that quality is better than quantity. With two lines in the song "OK" and "Can't Wait" we are kept more than amused with the use of synths to create tension before heavy baseline drops and that winning riff. His album is out next months and I'm more than certain he will feature in my next blog. Good to have you back Claude!

    Undiscovered Beats July 2013 Chart

    Hey Everyone,

    I've been really busy again these past two months! I've headed all around Europe visiting some beautiful cities. I'm back now though to provide you with the latest in quality music.

    On my travels I met some South Africans and some more Aussies that will hopefully provide me with even more great tunes. The South Africans told me about this months number 3 in my chart so watch out!

    This month we see quite a few entries by the same artist so well done to Joe Goddard (again), Stimming, FKJ and Touch Sensitive but even more so to Bondax and Daughter (for providing a fantastic remixing voice) that have two entries in the top 10!

    Because I've been away for a little while I have made a top 20 because there is that much quality here this month... As always though the tracks that didn't make it into the top 20 are still worth listening to.

    If you are new to this blog and you like what you hear then make sure you head to http://www.facebook.com/groups/undiscoveredbeats/ 
    where you can be a part of our community and look to post new tracks that you've found to get a mention. Big thanks to De Costor Victor who is always providing tracks on facebook.

    If you'd like to listen to my most recent mix it can be heard here:

    I also made a silly rap video about my thoughts on Tamagotchi's vs Girlfriends... The link below will let you hear it:

    THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

    Bondax - Giving It All



    Bondax then... A two piece teenage dj/production partnership that have come from nowhere to constantly deliver high quality. It's about time that this duo claimed the top spot and their remix of "No Diggity" isn't too far away claiming 4th place. "Giving It All" is the track that's given them the Undiscovered Beats glory though. The track starts off with a really dreamy underwater vibe with chilled and filtered melodies. We then hear a clear and calm vocal to build and build with passion (this is where we find ourselves dancing and thinking "I like this one). Out of nowhere the dreamy vibe stop and are presented with a clear building piano riff then BAM! "STAR SIGN, I THINK I LOVE" YOU... And that's how classics are made. Enjoy...
