A really solid house track. Seems rarer these days. Instead of trying to add more, this track stays simple and true to house roots: a great bass-line, breakdowns with a crescendo and drop, enjoyable vocals, and a groove you can’t help but dance to.

Jafunk – Dazed
A really well-rounded house track. This honestly could have been written anytime in the last 20 years. The only thing that makes me believe it was more recent is the quality of the sound, and well…the actual release date. But you know what I mean.
Andhim & Super Flu – Reeves
Try. Just try and not let this song eventually get to you. Such slow builds…and incessant simple repetition. I succumbed eventually, and so will you…
Klingande – Jubel (Nora En Pure Remix)
There really wasn’t too much Nora En Pure needed to do here to make this perfect. It was soo close on the initial release. Just a bit too long and a bit too dramatic as a dance track. All Nora En Pure did was edit it a bit, keep it upbeat and tag their name on. Simple work for a brilliant finish. Honestly, try and not be in a better mood when this song is done.
Rudimental – Rumour Mill
These guys can do no wrong lately. They are just killing it with every music direction and genre they turn towards. This is a house/indie-dance/pop/RnB track that just hit the slow dance movement on it’s head. I keep hitting repeat on this one as I keep finding new subtle gems on each listen. Picture yourself dancing to this at a house party with a new girl or guy and having a raucous good time. That’s the image I’m seeing right now.
Vario Volinski feat. Erik Hassle – Falling In Love Again
I love this song and I’m entirely sure why. Everything just…works. The vocals, the marimba, the classic house beat and house piano stabs. Okay, I guess I’m starting to get it.
Tinie Tempah feat Jess Glynne – Not Letting Go
Haven’t heard from Tinie Tempah in awhile? Me neither. If he’s been hiding away making more tracks like this one then consider me super excited. The bass that comes in during the chorus is just beautiful. Is it Pop? Hiphop? House? I have no idea. I love songs that blend the lines.
Michael Calfan – Treasured Soul
Whoa. This song is epic. Taking a cue from Duke Dumont and Kygo, this track combines classic house style with a modern “tropical” house sound to recreate the perfect summer house dance track. Loving it.
Andhim & Super Flu – Reeves
A really simple house track here that just nicely exudes a summer fun vibe but keeping things as minimal as possible. Really nice and low key for a dance track.
Calvin Harris – Pray To God feat. HAIM
I really don’t think I need to tell you who Calvin Harris or even relative newcomer HAIM is. I will say that this collaboration is the most impressive track off Calvin Harris’s new album. The verses represent a guitar driven HAIM while the chorus has a distinct Calvin Harris piano and synth pop/dance arrangement. With each artist representing their own “sound” the song blends the two together perfectly. A crafty bit of songwriting on this one. Enjoy.
