Daniel Bayot – Like You Love Me

The captivating bass-line starts it off and is elevated with Daniel’s exquisite soulful vocals. The pre-chorus lift is perfection. The chords and his voice just gets me, like a solid Stevie Wonder track. Then we are treated to an addictive vocal melody in the chorus. This is how a well structured song should sound. His musical chops (years of formal classical training) shine through out this track. For fans of Sam Sparro and Years & Years

Maicous- Take My Light (featuring F.A.R)

What does one get when you mix a helping dose of Nu-Disco with vocal stylings reminiscent of The Knife? Well you get the latest releases from Maicous, ‘Take My Light’. This is one HOT track that is smooth but grooving. All the textures like the string stabs, rezy bass and laser shots support the vocals that are cool and sensual. Macious (aka Mark Crawford) currently hailing from the UK teamed up with Fox And Riot (F.A.R aka Rhys Oakes) on this outing. Hoping they continue to team up and make more tunes in this genre.

Queens of Club – Bones

Hooked the first second I heard that synth arpeggiator going from the start of the track. It only got better as the track carries on. It has a gothic vibe mixed with synth pop from the 80’s and modern synth wave. The vocals seduce and pull the listener in till it reaches a crescendo in the chorus with several vocals singing in harmony. This track is for fans of Grimes and Purity Ring.
