GOGGI – Deep End

There is a certain type of melancholy in vocals that I love and this is exactly what we have here. It’s that mix of sweet and somber that just resonates at that perfect frequency. The melody is outstanding as well. The original is by Foushee. GOOGI here captured the best of the original and has framed it with a house driven beat. Also like the lead synth that has a horn sound to it. Hope we get a longer edit of this in the future.

Darkstates – Flood

Evolving landscape of sonic textures and a subtle driving beat propels the track. The vocal melody is introspective and heart yearning. The dissonant muted piano adds another layer of ambiguity. The build on the track keeps the listener engaged to the very end. Love the synth arp that is revealed at the end. On of my favorite tracks this year.

Julian Lamadrid – Patience

There is a certain innocent charm to this tune. Also, how can I not like this tune when he mentions my name, “be someone special like David”. The track has a mid-tempo and a bit of a tropical vibe to it. The tropical feel for me is coming from the steel drum sound on the lead. Really a stand out track for me and the video is fun as well.
