Monday Choon: Oliver Heldens - Lady

 

There's certain songs that must never be remixed or recreated out of pure respect for the original artist, and I firmly believe that if you are going to attempt to remake it, it must keep the originality of the song that make it great and not tarnish it's sound. Oliver Helden's is no stranger to house music and he in his own right have created some masterful songs in his career, so when I saw he released his own remake of the cult classic "Lady" by French DJ Modjo. I feared to listen to it, not that I doubt Oliver's talent but for so many the song meant so much and it was one of those that was an instant classic when it came up, but listen to it I did and you know what, Oliver, take a bow. It is exceptional, he pays homage to the original but adds his own unique sound to it which elevates the song to modern standards. If you loved the original, you definitely going to love this one too. 

Monday Choon: Kungs, David Guetta, Izzy Bizu - All Night Long

 

Today's featured track see's the collaboration between two French DJ's that have interesting styles of music, the first is 27 year old Valentin Brunel, better known by his stage name "Kungs", he is most noted from this hit track "This Girl" where he worked with Cookin' with 3 burners. His style is more along the mellow house style with 70's inspired techno. This time round he teamed up with French legend David Guetta who was one of the leaders in bringing a pop aspect to EDM, but over the past 4 years he's been punting his new future rave sound, so it was interesting to see how these two very two styles would fuse for this track and the results have been outstanding. "All night long" has a very catchy beat with melodic vocals that get catches you immediately, it doesn't take long for the drop to kick and then you're hooked to the groovy sound which is has a heavy piano backtrack. In just 3 weeks the official music video has just over 700K views with it looking to hit the million mark soon.  

Monday Choon: David Guetta vs Benny Benassi - Satisfaction

 

French DJ David Guetta has been spoiling us since 2020 with his latest genre "Future Rave", its a fresh new take on electronic music from him and to be honest, I quite like it. It's build ups are great with high energy drops that instantly gets your blood pressure going. If you watched the sets from Ultra Europe and Tomorrowland, then you, like me have been probably waiting in anticipation for the release of todays featured track. David has taken Italian DJ legend, Benny Benassi's cult classic track "Satisfaction" and given it his future rave treatment and boy is it a banger of note! Played by most DJ's including the likes of Armin, Nicky Romero, Tiesto and others at the various festivals around Europe, it definitely got the crowds going wild. The track was officially released last week Friday on Spinnin' Records and we have it here on the blog for you to enjoy.

Monday Choon: Matt Fax - The Accord

 

French DJ and producer, David Ciekanski's latest track is our featured song of the week. Better known by his stage name Matt Fax, a name which has become quite popular in the Anjuna circles as much of his music has been featured in Above & Beyond sets, podcasts and live events. Having started his career in 2009, Fax encountered early success with support from many big name artists and has since grown in strength and developed his own unique style and forged his name on the circuit has one of the big name DJ's. His track Accord which was released 3 weeks ago has received rave reviews and much success on airplays with it being featured on many podcasts since. We hope you like as much as we did, so turn up your volume for this. 

Monday Choon: Joel Corry x RAYE - David Guetta - BED - [David Guetta Festival Mix]

 

While the original Joel Corry's track Bed is doing wonders on the charts, we feel like we needed something a bit more up-tempo for the Monday and step in David Guetta with his Festival Remix. As usual the French DJ just elevates the sounds with his own unique style, with most of Europe slowly starting to open up, we're going to be getting more of these festival type mixes coming out. Most of the major festivals have already started confirming dates for later this year so you can bet artists will be working much more on new music for then. For now we can enjoy these tracks while at home or in the car. Turn up the volume for this one because its a banger!

Monday Choon: David Guetta & MORTEN - Save My Life feat. Lovespeake

That crazy Frenchman is back, David Guetta has been one of the most engaging DJ's this year, from his live stream sets to his charity drives while being in the US. He's been hard at work collaborating, making new music during this tough year and in doing such has gained a lot of respect by me especially. I wasn't a fan of his because I felt his music was targeted too much at the commercial market instead of the fans which grew to love him in the early stages but it seems David is rediscovering his roots but also opting for different sounds, like todays featured track, "Save My Life" which features Danish DJ Morten. The track has a synonymous Big Room sound to it with the heavy bass undertone but a mixture of the techno beats and vocals by Lovespeake, brings the track together for an awesome product. It's a proper banger of note so turn up the volume and enjoy! 

Monday Choon: David Guetta & MORTEN - Never Be Alone

David Guetta is the type of DJ that makes music for the mainstream audiences but every now and then he drops a song to remind you that he still can make tracks that warrants spins at EDM parties and events, not just the radio. Today's featured track is just that, he teams up with Danish DJ and producer Morten and features vocals from Aloe Blacc. The track titled "Never Be Alone" was released in July this year and still a firm favourite of many.
