Undiscovered Beats December 2013 Chart

Hey Everyone,

Well 2013 made for a great year with some of the releases and seen this blog grow and grow so I thank you for your support.

 I just started my year off to a bang going to the Warehouse Project closing party on New Years Day getting to see Ben Pearce, Skream, Krystal Klear, Breach, Paul Woolford & Midland B2B, George Fitzgerald and Maceo Plex

 Skream coming out to drop his re-work of The Smiths - Charming Man had to be the highlight of the night.

Undiscovered Beats December 2013 Chart

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


Undiscovered Chart December 2013

9. Rektchordz & Crown Duels - Your Embrace
(A real banger! The stomping bass gets your feet moving whilst you scream out the soulful lyrics)

8. Gorgon City - Ready For Your Love
(Gorgon City showing their skills after their smash track "Real" and have brought MNEK to help them in to sure chart success)

7. Tensnake - No Relief (Feat. Fiora)
(TENSNAKE'S BACK! His album is going to be mega with him having help from Nile Rodgers, Jamie Lidell and Stuart Price... This is my favourite at the moment)

6. Hayden James - Embrace
(The Australian is proving to be a big player with consistent great quality in his work. "Embrace" is chilled yet captivating)

5. HNNY - Tears
(Local Talk records finest artist and track at the moment (which is a big task considering the quality over there) Sure to be played all over!)

4. Hackman - Lost From Me
(The better of the two on the EP. "Lost From Me" takes you back in time. Amazing melodies, just a great production all around)

3. Name One & Maxxi Soundsystem - One In Three
(One of my favourite producers Maxxi Soundsystem offers us this track featuring Name One... It's that dirty bass that Maxxi's familiar with that gets him here)

2. TCTS - These Heights
(The vocals on this are so good! Heard it first on the 2Bears Boiler Room set (Think Joe Goddard has a hidden remix of it that sounded amazing) Great track though)

1. Perseus - Shadow of the Beast
(Finally that unknown track at the end of Perseus's Boiler Room set is with us!)


THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE


Perseus - Shadow of the Beast



Perseus is the founder of one of my favourite record labels (French Express) and has an amazing track record as a producer. He delivered arguably the best Boiler Room performance yet and finished on this gem of a track. Shadow of the Beast is everything you'd expect from Perseus and more... Chilled, Atmospheric and Soulful whilst combining R&B with House. The track features Ashanti and Cassie which works perfectly with their passionate tones and heartfelt lyrics. The track is met with plucky high end tones with that big slow bass that we're used to with Perseus tracks. The song is amazing from start to finish and gets me excited to think there may be more from him in the near future considering the length of his absence. Lets hope!




BLAST FROM THE PAST

Nick Curly - Underground (Dennis Ferrer Remix)

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:

    Undiscovered Chart October 2013

    9. BANKS - Bedroom Wall (Prod. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)
    (An amazing voice with great lyrics "DO I HAVE TO WRITE IT ON YOUR BEDROOM WALL YOU FOOL")

    8. Deetron ft. Ben Westbeech - Rhythm
    (Breach (Ben Westbeech) brings the vocals whilst Deetron matches him with a dreamy electronic foundation)

    7. Cherokee - Don't Matter feat. Darianna
    (Heard this on Bondax's Mixmag set amazing chilled Nu-Disco)

    6. Kove - Love For You
    (Great feel good vibes, intense vocals and a heavy bassline)

    5. Fryars - Cool Like Me
    (Sounds like French house music with great uplifting lyrics)

    4. Isaac Tichauer - To Fall In Love Is True
    (Bells, Bassline and a cute female vocal - Isaac's done it again)

    3. Dusky - Careless
    (Heavy hitting track)

    2. Donell Jones - You Know What's Up (Monkey Wrench Re-Work)
    (Amazing re-work on a forgotten about track)

    1. SecondCity - I Wanna Feel 
    (Absolute banger... This track shows what pianos were made for)


    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!

    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!
