Monday Choon: ARTY feat. Jay Sorrow - In My Head

 

My favourite DJ dropped his latest studio album last week on Armada Music so of course I'm going to feature a song from it! Arty is in my opinion one of the most underrated trance music DJs of our generation. His music struck a chord in me from early on and ever since then I look forward to almost anything that has his name on it. Even his alias Alpha9 has been ripping through the charts when he introduced it a few years ago. His latest album, "In My Head" dropped last week and we are featuring the title track from it on the blog, it has Norwegian vocalist and song writer Jay Sorrow on it and is the perfect mix of high energy EDM with a hint of trance that is not only catchy but a soulful sound. 

Monday Choon: Deadmau5 - Strobe (KREAM Remix) with Frank Ocean

 

We ended 2021 with a KREAM Remix and we're starting off 2022 with another one, either it seems we've struck a liking to the Norwegian DJ duo style of music or they're making some banging music. I'll put it down to a bit of both. This time round they've taken an iconic track from Deadmau5, Strobe and given it their remix / mashup treatment and included some lyrics from Frank Ocean. The track has such great synergy that it doesn't even feel like a remix but rather a rework. The beats and synths that were added onto the original fuse great with that iconic sound that Joel brought us, the tempo and BPM of the track has been increased a bit but the vocals still keep it melodic. It's an awesome remix of a great track and definitely the sort of vibe we want to kick off the new year with. 

Monday Choon: Kygo & Selena Gomez - It Ain't Me (Tiesto AFTR:HRS Remix)

It's been about a year since Norwegian DJ Kygo first made his name on the EDM scene with his fresh new sound that was dubbed "tropical house" which was a fusion of electronic, house and the sounds of the Caribbean. He killed it on the Ultra Main stage and soon thereafter had much success world over. Fast forward a year later and he released a new track with Disney Superstar turn actress and singer, the gorgeous Selena Gomez. The track "It aint me" enjoyed some time in most of the charts but it got a special remix treatment from Tiesto which he featured on his AFTR:HRS compilation. Yes, I know, another track taken from that set, if I could I'd feature the whole damn thing on here, it is seriously that good and I can foresee many other tracks from there being released as singles.
