Best of '14: The Year In Music

This year, for us, has truly flown by and we're blown away that it's already time to sum up all the music! As always it's been a true pleasure listening and talking with ya'll and we send each and every one of you a big thank you! The golden songs for us this year are too many to count so we collected 50 of our top tracks and put them together with with no particular ranking. Below is the Soundcloud player and we've also created the same for Spotify and Deezer so feel free to take your pick of platform! Due to copyright restrictions they differ slightly but each is roughly the same 50 tracks! Standouts for us this year has been the magic of Jessie Ware, Röyksopp & Robyn's Do It Again era, FKA twigs' experimental beats and George Maple's insanely good Talk Talk single. Speaking of twigs - her concert in Copenhagen was our live highlight of the year. Incredible! Being named in October by Deezer as one of the best music blogs from Sweden was an awesome moment and we gotta say we're having a true badass time curating and finding gems! Here's to 2015 and a new stellar year together! Enjoooooy! :D 

Stream: Jessie Ware - You & I (Forever) [Shift K3Y Remix]

Oh, oh! Look at Jessie Ware's Sade t-shirt! Y E S! That and this bangin' Shift K3Y remix of the gorgeous You & I (Forever) is what's needed to jump start the weekend. The groovy beat paired with the effortless and elegant vocals does serious things to us! That bassline, argh! When the over the top build up comes along we almost cannot take it and then, as if by magic, the tempo changes and becomes a cool spot for some relaxing. Perfect mix of savory and sweet! Enjooooy! 

Free Download: Jessie Ware - 12 [ Demo ]

Jessie Ware's Tough Love album is out tomorrow officially and it keeps on delivering. This time a track not even on the album. 12 was written by Jessie with Robin Hannibal of Rhye and produced by the latter. For reasons unknown it stayed in demo form even though it's an awesome track. The fact that this is what a JW demo sounds like - flawless! It's brilliant! Luckily for us it's available to download in HQ and so gonna be added to the album stream here. Sounding very effortless - we hear some Sade vibes in there and the dream pop qualities is warm and soothing. Too good to be left unheard so we'll keep it on repeat. Enjoy!  

Premiere: Jessie Ware - Pieces

Jessie Ware's Tough Love album drops in exactly one week and we wouldn't mind if she kept dropping amazing songs like this forever. Pieces is an emotive and wonderful slow burner that builds and builds and then shatters with a truly spectacular chorus towards the end. Strings, dark verses, streaks of absolute sadness, a soaring chorus and then that ending. Gorgeous! 

Free Download: Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me (Gorgon City Remix)

Jessie Ware's heartfelt pleading in Say You Love Me really tugs at our heartstrings and sends shivers. When that choir part kicks in - wow! London duo Gorgon City takes all these emotions and infuses 'em over a dark dance beat that we already can imagine being blasted out of a basement club in North London. Deep house baby! The reflective and wistful nature of the original really suits this amped up mix and it sure is nice to dance to meaningful lyrics and a deep bassline. Grab the DL below and enjoooy!
