Happy Feel-Good Friday!
This week's Vol. 5 is a clear continuation of Vol. 4, with those '90s UK garage influences being slowly popularized by artists like Disclosure. Here you'll find plenty of deep house beats that will be almost impossible not to dance to. I love that Motez can transform a rap song like "Gas Pedal" by Sage The Gemini into a modern club banger. LE YOUTH's remix of "Love Sublime" by Tensnake boasts a super addicting beat -- a hypnotizing one among all the others. And that drop in "Dare You 2 Move" is impeccable.
But if you're looking for a track with truly unique production, Scottish DJ Hudson Mohawke's dark, retro sounds in Disclosure and AlunaGeorge's "White Noise" is your song. AlunaGeorge also makes an appearance in Shadow Child's "Best Be Believing." Aluna's dainty voice contrasts beautifully with those heavy electronic, almost machine-like sounds.
Enjoy the weekend! And if you haven't already, check out my very first mix here.
