Monday Choon: HUGEL - Movin' To The Sun

 

In the current age of social media it is hard to ignore the trends, and kudos to apps like TikTok who do wonders for artists that we don't really know of because when a trend goes viral with a track, best believe everyone in the world will know you and your song. HUGEL however isn't an unknown artist but has had several of his tracks go viral on TikTok and what seems to happen is that people will then use the same tracks on their IG videos, I like to call this a cross pollination of trends. HUGEL's latest offering "Movin' to the Sun" is all over my TikTok feeds and some dubbing it the song of the summer, I still think Axwell's track which we featured last week has it beat but that is not for me to decided. Movin' to the Sun is still a banging track, the vocals and the drop sync so well you can't help but vibe to it. 

Monday Choon: HUGEL, Diplo - Forever (feat. Malou & Yuna)

 

It seemed like an eternity that Diplo has been teasing this track on his socials with us, the track in question was an Afro-tech-house mix of the 2013 track "Lullabies" by Yuna. The track was featured in the 2013 Ultra Miami 'thank you' video was more of a techno house style track. Diplo teamed up with Latin house DJ Hugel to add some latino spice to the track but with a very deep Afro house influence. Bringing Yuna back on the vocals was the masterstroke as the pace of the song has been sped up more than the original and with the added sounds and elements, it needed a fresh re-take. While only snippets of the track were shared over the past 7 months, it lived up to expectations and will get you moving from the second the song starts till it ends.  

Monday Choon: Alok & Hugel - I Don't Wanna Talk (feat. Amber Van Day)

Brazilian DJ and producer ALOK doesn't need any introduction on the blog, his hit single "Hear Me Now" has been well received in the electronic dance music world and got his name prominent on the scene. In 2019 he was ranked 11th in the DJ Mag listing and he's forever experimenting with his music and style to keep his work clean and fresh. Today's track see's him team up with Spanish DJ Hugel for their track "I don't wanna talk". The song has a mixture of melodies which see's each artist drop a bit of their own signature style to it. Amber van Day adds the vocals to it, and ensures the song ties up well. It's a great track and slightly different to what we're used to featuring, hope you like it!
