# 35 Must hear songs of the day

This time I have for you some fresh songs of different electronic styles. Hope you will find something for yourself! Let's get it started! :)


1. Lido & his "Crazy"

Lido is already not only a songwriter, vocalist, drummer, producer and DJ, but also a director of his new stunning video for his new single titled "Crazy". When I first watched the video I thought about perfect structure and perfect harmony, which you can hear and see from the first second. It is an interesting and surprising track.






2. Mura Masa & his "What If I Go?"

Alex Crossan aka Mura Masa started his electronic journey at the age of 16. His music style reminds me of Hudson Mohawke's style. His new and "What If I Go?" begins slowly with muffled chatter, smooth vocals and turns out into some childlike octave. It's one of this songs, which leave you full of positive energy. I'm impressed by his talent, creation of sound and creativity. His video for the new single "What If I Go" shows us different people-people of all genders, races, ages and sizes. The thing they have in common is they're happy by being themselves.







3. Honne & Izzy Bizu & their "Someone That Loves You"

James (Producer) and Andy (Singer/Producer) formed a British electronic-soul duo called Honne in 2014. Since then boys released four incredibly good EPs, where every single song is just amazing.  Their singles "Coastal Love", "Warm On A Cold Night", "Love The Jobs You Hate" or the new single "Someone That Loves You" featuring British soul singer Izzy Bizu are the best example of their uniqueness. You will find it out watching  their videos, which are smart and breathtaking. That's why my love to Honne is unconditional. When I first heard Honne I knew I will never stop listening to them. This electronic-soul combination stole my heart!








4. Atlas Bound and their "Softer Still", "Lullaby", "Lock" and...


Atlas Bound are my discovery of the day. I've never heard of these guys before until today. They are an Australian indie-R&B duo from Sydney, awarded with the Bose Creative Grant 2014. Their music is so chilling, full of great vocals. Just like the duo said in one of their interviews: "it took time to create music that represented the direction we wanted take and what we were trying to achieve,” the duo says. “It’s been an enjoyable yet sometimes testing process — earnestly diving into the craft and taking those first baby steps towards your vision of where the project can go musically, and to [us] ’Softer Still’ is the biggest indicator of that journey. The focus has always been on getting the music right, and we couldn’t be prouder of these songs.” Below you can hear their powerful effect of their hard work.









5. Ekali & his refreshing remix of Flux Pavilion's "I Can't Stop"

I'm not sure if remixing of the legend like Flux Pavilion is a good idea, but many artists already did it and in the end effect it sounded pretty good (check Flux Pavilion & Matthew Koma - Emotional (MUST DIE! Remix)). Of course it's very nice to hear "I Can't Stop" after all these years in some new version, also in future bass version, but there is always something I really hate in all of these remixes- they sound to familiar with the original. Future sounds are amazing, I love them, but not this time. I love new future bass songs, not the remixes of songs, that already are the icon.






6. What So Not & Ganz ft. Joy & their "Lone"

I don't have to introduce you What So Not. Almost every electronic music fan knows What So Not. If not, you can find something more about Emoh right here: Masterpice without Flume. His new collaboration with Ganz featuring hypnotising vocals from Joy is melodic, sounds fresh and makes WSN's style unusual.






7. Boys Noize ft. Polica & his "Starchild"

German techno legend Boys Noize goes experimental! Berlin-based producer had been guiet for almost all of 2015. With the release of his new single "Starchild" featuring Polica, BN announced the release date of his new album titled "Mayday" (May 20). The album will features collaborators like Benga, Hudson Mohawke, Polica and Remy Banks, among others. His fresh track "Starchild" is different than other Boys Noize's tracks- it's softer. It starts out with a guitar and calm Channy Leaneagh's vocals. Their collaboration is magical. I love this creation of new sound by Boys Noize.

# 34 Seven Lions is back to his melodic dubstep roots

Do you remember trance legend Ferry Corsten and his song "Beautiful"? Below you can listen to Jeff Montalvo's remix of this song. Since years we haven't heard melodic dubstep from Seven Lions that made him so famous. His remix is absolutely magical! It reminds me of his remix of "You Got To Go" from Above&Beyond, which I'm listening to right now. Hope you will enjoy it!

# 33 Forget What You Look Like

From now on you can listen to the new music from Netsky. The new song called "Forget What You Look Like" featuring amazing vocals from Lowell  is out and it doesn't seem to be Drum&Bass stuff. The legend of Drum&Bass is back, but he changed his music style completely. I'm not telling you it's bad, it's just different and that's why I have mixed feelings. His album titled "3" will be released on May 20 and will feature 12 tracks:

I'm in a music trance as far as I remember. Almost every day I'm trying to find some new artists, some new tracks that could create the soundtrack of my life. There's a place for Icarus & TCTS too. Check it below!

# 31 I know all what I do

Just 10 minutes ago I bought tickets for Jack Garrat's concert in Berlin. Since I've heard his songs for the first time, I knew I have to see him live and I'm so incredibly happy that this is really happening! Here's one of his live shows:

# 30 Masterpiece without Flume

After Flume left What So Not in February 2015, Emoh released an EP titled "Gemini" with an inspired debut single of the same name featuring George Maple alone. Few days ago the official remix of Rufus Du Sol's "Innerbloom" came out and this remix shows that What So Not is doing well as "one-man duo". His new masterpiece takes us to another level of electronic music, to innerbloom world. Check it on Spotify below!

# 29 Breathe

Does someone of you miss years 2009-2012? That was probably the best time of dubstep music, which for many of you has gone to quickly. For me too. I still remember me dancing to "let the bass cannon kick it" and "call 911, now!". Yeah, this time was insane, but it's not over, guys!  Nowadays, there are still many dubstep tracks, which are pretty good and that's exactly the problem- pretty good is not enough. It's really sad how so many artists changed their unique music style into some "shit style" only to get more money and more popularity. I know everything changes, world changes, people change (sometimes) and music can change too, but some things just should stay the same. Unfortunately, today's dubstep will never be the same, for sure, but I'm still hoping and searching for new songs and sounds, just like I did this time. Enjoy!
