Undiscovered Beats January 2014 Chart


Hey Everyone,
So Welcome to 2014! Lets hope this year brings us as much great music as the last! There are a lot of upcoming shows which you should try and get to if you can. Some of the international festivals have been announced and although this year I won't be heading to any the line ups still look tasty!


Parklife in Manchester has a huge line up and I'm excited to get to the Bugged Out Weekender in March! Cyril Hahn has also released a few dates in the UK and France which would be worth a watch!

This month we have a lot of great tunes all going for that top spot in January's Undiscovered Beats chart.


My most recent mix for you all to hear can be accessed on the link below:

Undiscovered Beats January 2014 Chart

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

Just Missed Out

Undiscovered Chart January 2014

9. Years & Years - Real (Tobtok Remix)
(Xylophones! A retro gentle vocal builds you up to an outbursting chorus)

8. Karma Kid - Like I'm On Fire / Karma Kid - Like I'm On Fire (Kartell Remix)
(The Kid is back with a bouncy bondax feeling warm summery number with chopped up vocals / Kartell's remix is a little more solid but that might take away from the magic - Both worth a listen)

7. Mos Def - Ms. Fat Booty (Louis Futon Remix)
(Amazing hip hop meets electro piece (very Kaytranada). It's hard not to dance to this)

6. Diia - Alone (Fuse & Mark Mackenzie Remix)
(Cute vocal with soft piano melodies to be concurred with a huge bass)

5. Jessie Andrews - You Won't Forget Tonight (feat. Comets We Fall)
(Classic warm house track with a dreamy vibe)

4. Destiny's Child - Bug A Boo (Borneland Remix)
(Amazing take on an old R&B classic despite the R&B remix being overdone recently) 

3. Claptone - Ghost feat. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
(Mysterious feel to this one. A nice guitar riff complemented by pianos, strings, bass and a disturbed vocal. Works really well)

2. Moon Boots - C.Y.S.
(Moon Boots! We always new it was going to be great! Cute vocal, punchy basslines and great chords)

1. Cyril Hahn - Breaking
(Another amazing slow R&B/Electro hybrid from Cyril!)

THIS MONTHS UNDISCOVERED TUNE
Cyril Hahn - Breaking



CYRIL FINALLY CLAIMS THE THROWN THIS MONTH! He is like the Leonardo DiCaprio of unclaimed oscars in the Undiscovered Beats world but with his recent Wolf of Wall Street performance "Breaking" is Cyril's worthy overdue winner. The track features Javeon McCathy familiar from his work with L- Vis 1990 on the track "Lost in Love" and Julio's "Father Father". We start by hearing the white noise, a sprinkle of chimes and that deep slow bass we are all so familiar with. Javeon's vocals give off that soulful R&B vibe to add to the energy. As soon as he starts to sing we are already rocking with pleasure. It's hard not to sing the chorus when it arrives. The solos under the bass line are my favourite part of the piece and one of the many reasons why it works so well. Cyril is currently in Perfect Form (Sorry I couldn't resist).

Terrence Parker - Love's Got Me High (Marc Romboy's Systematic Soul Mix)

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!





    BLAST FROM THE PAST

    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)
