Monday Choon: XIRA - Feel (J Ribbon Remix)

 

The unmistakable voice of XIRA encapsulated me when I first heard her on 3LAU's hit track "Tokyo", she returns to the blog with a track of her own titled "Feel" and its everything that you'd expect and more. The track has been remixed by J Ribbon and is featured on the Anjunabeats Volume 17. A song that hits your heart right away, a feel good track with a catchy beat and chorus and one that will have you press repeat over and over again. 

Monday Choon: 3LAU feat. XIRA - Easy

 

American DJ and electronic dance music producer, Justin David Blau, better known by his stage name 3LAU is no stranger if you're used to listening to the various streams from Anjunabeats. Justin's music career took off in 2011 after he went to Sweden for vacation where he first discovered electronic dance music and since then started experimenting with mashups and then progressed into making his own music. He released his debut album in 2018 titled Ultraviolet which saw him gain popularity in the EDM world, and helped his rapid growth in the industry. Today's featured track see's him teaming up with London based XIRA, which isn't the first time as his previous track with her "Tokyo" was also quite a hit. This one follows the same synergy between the too giving us quite a catchy song that has a steady build up with the vocals which then goes into a seemless flow which continues throughout the track. 

Monday Choon: Audien ft Xira - One Last Dance (Farius Remix)

American DJ Nate Rathbun better known as Audien has been a popular name on the Above and Beyond sets as well as Armada tracklists, his music is the kind of uplifting trance you love to hear first thing in the morning as it ignites that energy deep within, in Feb this year he released his track "One Last Dance" which features the vocals of Xira, a bit of a soppy love song type of track but a banger none the less, last week a host of remixes for the track were released and one of my favourites was by UK based DJ Farius. It's a great edit of the original track and just added that extra oomf that was missing. It gives the track a nice tempo which was lacking from the original and can almost make it a club track. I think its brilliant and you should have a listen to it, so turn up the volume and enjoy.

Monday Choon: Nicky Romero & SICK INDIVIDUALS ft. XIRA - Only For You

If there's one good thing to take from this lockdown for us, is that DJ's have had more time to work on new music with all their free time and we've seen some interesting collaborations born from it as well. Everyone's favourite Dutch DJ Nicky Romero is one of them who's teamed up with Dutch duo Sick Individuals for todays featured track "Only For You". The track features vocals from Xira and is a great feel good track, with a classic Nicky Romero style backtrack with build up and drop. It's one of those tracks that just has you reminiscing on the good times and  would have been a perfect track for a festival after-movie but alas we're going to have to wait a while before can party together again, its nice knowing that we're still getting quality music to listen to at home though. 

Monday Choon: 3LAU feat. XIRA - Tokyo (Le Youth Remix)

American DJ and electronic dance music producer Justin David Blau, better know by his stage name 3LAU comes in with another ripper of a track, "Tokyo" featuring XIRA. The original track was released 3 months ago but two weeks back, the Le Youth Remix adding more deeper sounds and trance notes was released. Perfect harmony working with the original track, just fine tuning certain elements really uplift the overall sound of the track. It's a track that's already doing pretty well, and the perfect mellow track you need to for this very blue Monday given the circumstances facing the world at the moment.
