Premiere: MNEK - The Rhythm (Alpines Remix)

We had Uzoechi Osisioma Emenike's fantastic The Rhythm featured on our Best of '14, and no wonder - it's stunning and just keeps on giving. London duo Alpines grabs the 90's inspired house beat and soulful vocals and created a brilliant confection of salty and sweet, creamy and hard. The mix twists and turns and we love the idea of pairing that house beat with some softer dreamy qualities. Top marks! Thoughts?

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

Premiere: MNEK - The Rhythm

Yeaaah! Uzoechi Osisioma Emenike to the rescue! MNEK always delivers the most irresistible beats and The Rhythm is no exception! Love the mix of the soulful vocals with the 90's flavoured house beat and super tight production. So damn hot! It's fun, flirty and perfect for a Saturday night out. Can you even imagine this live in a venue with a sick soundsystem and that crazy note around the 03:05 mark?! So awesome and reminds of us of this one around the 03:30 mark! SING IT!

Premiere: Karen Harding - Say Something (Wookie Remix)

Karen Harding has been on firm repeat here all week with her stunning debut Say Something. It's a home run for sure and MNEK's slightly dirty house production really makes our heart pound faster. UK garage legend Wookie turns this gem into a sleek and shiny treat filled with a brand new bassline and a sound that is teleported straight from 1994. Nice! The new elements are more exuberant and really complements Karen's crazy good voice. We must stress however we're crazy nuts about the original production and its more dark side too. This is a perfect way to start yer weekend - play both versions back to back. We might have a dance off in a bit... *death drops*
