Top Ten DnB Tunes: October
There’s so many hot tracks around right now I feel compelled to make a top ten to name check the good chaps behind the music.
1. Full Circle – Bloke4d : A new duo that have a bunch of great tunes, most quite techy but this one is just pure emotional dnb. When I heard it I got straight on to the Hospital head honchos and hopefully this will come out on the NHS.
2. Hyper Hyper – Nu:Tone – Hospital : Something different from Dan, Im loving the new directions he’s taking like Balaclava. This ones cheeky.
3. I Need You / Stars Get Down – Sub Wave – Hospital : Both tracks come from the Future Sound of Russia LP out soon. Deep and minimal but not boring, in fact rather uplifting. Also love Helium on that LP.
4. Cant Take It – Nero – GND : Ethereal vocal. Trancey synth. Gnarly bass. Smacks it.
5. Paperchase – Brookes Bros. vs. Danny Byrd – BBK : Getting a lot of love from Annie Mac, this is a storming collab featuring the kind of electroid vocal choppage and musical switch-ups you would expect from these producers.
6. Piano Anthem – Sonic : A welcome return by the mighty Sonic. Its an uplifting banger but slightly misleading – where’s the piano, dude?!
7. For Love or Money – DKay – Brigand : And good to hear new material from this man. Vocals, brass section, epic drop, my cuppa tea.
8. I Refuse – Netsky : Another new cat, he’s got liquid tunes coming out of his ear (might need to see a doctor for that). This one has a smooth vocal hook that sits great in a mix.
9. Wall – Enter Shikari vs. High Contrast – Dub Mix : Well, I had to include one of my own jams on here. Rock on.
10. Last Jungle – Sub Focus – Ram : Spine tingly oldskool vibes at around 150bpm.
If you would like to hear any of these tracks then just catch one of my dj sets!
