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:

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...

THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

Dirty Projectors - The Socialites (Joe Goddard Remix)



So Joe Goddard Strikes again! First and Third in this weeks chart! From the first note of his remix of The Socialites we hear "Oh Baby" and we get certification that we are set to hear some amazing vocals. The warm earthy feel of the percussion and the bouncy xylophone styled melody compliment the vocals really well. The best part is either the first intense build up (about 2 minutes in) where her intensity is matched with brilliantly placed lazers or when the track is stripped back to bascis and we just hear that exotic melody. What a track!

I have been busy studying different magazines, youtube channels and radio shows to get this months top rated tracks. I hope you find that my hard work has paid off for your all!

Thanks again to my Weegie friend Zoe for showing me some gems like Polkadot's - Wasn't Like That, Close feat. Scuba & Charlene Soraia's - Beam Me Up and MK's remix of Louie Fresco - No Hateration.

 David August released his new album last month. If you are wanting some great lounge music with an aged european feel then you should check it out. My favorite tracks include "Anthem", "Until We Shine" and "For Eternity".

 We all know Daft Punks album is out this month which I am sure you all can't wait for. Their release "Get Lucky" is a sign that we are in for a treat.

If you didn't listen last month one of my mixes can be seen below. I am working on a summer one for you all, so hold tight.

THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

Mathew Jonson - Dayz



Top of the chart this month is from Mathew Jonson. This track was released in 2011 but went under my radar. It features on the Crosstown Rebels compilation out this month and WOW what a find! It 

The song is called "Dayz". It's a complex piece combining lots of different melodies together to work in harmony. We start with the crazy bass line and kick drum... The hi-hats build to compliment the arrival of the main synth riff. The song lasts for 8 minutes and could be considered repetitive but as someone wrote on youtube

"Where's the joy of listening to it if you want it shorter ??? :)) if you love it you love it for 8 for 9 or for 100 minutes!"

And I couldn't agree more. Enjoy!

Undiscovered Beats March Chart


Hey Everyone,

 The latest instalment of your favourite chart is here! That's right, Im going to be taking you through the hottest tracks over this last month! If you don't know how the blog works I will be coming up with a top 10 list of the best new productions and giving you all an insight as to ones that just missed out (in our "Close but no Pineapple" section).

This month De Coster Victor came up with a few tracks that caught my eye the FCL - It's You (Redondo Remix) in particular, also got to say thanks to Zoe for finding Amtrac - Those Days (Viceroy Remix) for me! 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 I have found an act to me that sound like a cross between Justice/Daft Punk/Pheonix and Louis La Roche so if you like those listen to Lemaitre my favourites are Coffee Table, Time to Realise and Appreciate.

 I am looking to set up being a DJ and have posted my recent mix below for you all to listen to! Let me know if you have any thoughts about it and if you like it share it with your friends.

THIS WEEKS UNDISCOVERED TUNE

Jonas Rathsman - Bringing You Down



This month we Jonas Rathsman secure the number one spot in our March chart. "Bringing You Down" is full of heavy baselines, soulful vocals and groovy melodies to add to your summer playlist.

The track starts with atmospheric synths, a cowbell and a moaning vocal to get you into the vibe. When the first baseline kicks the track catches your interest. We hear additional vocal moans added to build up to the heavy baseline. "Oh So Real, Real, Real... Bringing You Down, Down, Down" then starts to be looped as the melody rises before the major drop of the song. Everything works so well and it would take something special to beat Erols - Night Work's remix and Jonas has come up with the goods here!
