Undiscovered Beats February / March 2014 Chart


Hey Everyone,
So 2014 is setting up to be a great year with some of the music we've experienced so far. Duke Dumont's - I got U is number 1 and finally the UK public is recognising quality music.

 I've got an amazing chart in store for you all so make sure you check out the ones that didn't make the cut too!

I have made an Undiscovered Beats Essential Mix for you to listen to. It's 2 hours and 9 minutes long so great for those long journeys or long study sessions. Check it out below: 


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. This month Victor De Costa's suggested track: 
Dense & Pika - Colt... It made it into the overall chart so thanks for that one.


You can access my DJ Facebook page where I will be posting my latest mixes here:



Undiscovered Beats January 2014 Chart

Close But No Pineapple (The tracks that didn't make the cut)


Just Missed Out

Undiscovered Chart January 2014

(High Tempo, fun, electro, chopped and screwed track "WE GO DEEP")

(Been waiting for this since he dropped it by "mistake" on his Boiler Room set. Typical Kaytranada bouncy hip hop bass with amazing melodies to complement a cute vocal)

(The French Express at it again. Reminiscent of Perseus - Shadow Of The Beast. That deep bassline could keep you entertained for days)



(Golden Boy instant classic... Everything he touches turns to gold... An amazing chopped vocal, a sexy bassline accompanied with a Derrick May - Strings Of Life styled melody)

(A Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell sample is often frowned upon in my book but Alex Adair harmonises their vocals in a piece that oozes emotion. A joyous breakdown just leaves you smiling)



(Aaliyah still lives on... An amazing garage twist on the "Rock The Boat" song. It offers a great breakdown, a bouncy bassline and energetic percussion beat.)



(My favourite out of the two Aaliyah remixes we see this month. This one is more chilled and offers mazing harmonies. Not much lyrics just all about fun melodies with soft vocal tones. Summer track Fo'Sho) 

(Darius has given us a fantastic EP. "Hot Hands" is the breakthrough track. It reminds me of Cherokee's - Don't Matter... It offers an amazing soft vocal, slow dubbed keys and a chilled clapping beat. Fantastic)



(Really popular track twisted a little. Jonas Rathsman for me is one of the best producers around... He offers a darker, more serious (yet fun) version of the "I Got U" hit. Those French Express basslines give the track so much more in my opinion.)



(A superb track that pushes all the right buttons. Everything seems too perfect... Vocals, instrument choice, breaks... The lot.)

THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE
Lukas Lyrestam - All I Think About


Lukas Lyrestam is a Swedish DJ and Producer and has made an absolute masterpiece with his "All I Think About" track. Slow steady bass with soft slow key presses. A gorgeous "You're all i think about" lyric interrupts the pause in a well formed riff. From this point on we know it's going to be a belter. Hip Hop Soul II Soul styled drums, soulful vocals, emotional tones... It really is perfect. The thing that makes this track special is knowing where to leave the track alone and not to over do things and not to be afraid of silence especially around the 3min mark. Quality track and hope to hear from Lukas again in the future.
