Monday Choon: Lucas & Steve x Blackstreet - No Diggity

 

The 1996 classic track by Blackstreet "No Diggity" has been given a new lease of life thanks to Dutch DJ duo Lucas & Steve. Teaming up with the American R&B band, they've managed to recreate the track with a fresh new sound but still keeping the true essence of the track intact. With the guys from Blackstreet redoing the vocals and not just a matter of Lucas & Steve sampling it from the original makes a huge difference to the sound and the speed of the flow. The duo have done an exceptional job and the beat gets you from the first drop, this track was meant to be launched last year as its first play was in Feb 2020 but like with many things, Covid put a hold to it. Now as most of Europe is opening up and with festivals making a come back, it was the perfect time to drop this banger. 

Monday Choon: Alyx Ander & Redondo - Casually (feat. Maria Z)

Not sure why, maybe its the old in me coming out but I'm seriously enjoying these new dance tracks which have old school nostalgia tempo and beats to them. Take for example today's featured track by Alyx Ander and Redondo, the beat could easily be mistaken for an 80/90's R&B track with Mariah Carey on the lyrics but its not, it's actually a brand new release and features the vocals of the oh so fine, Maria Z. This just goes to show the variants in the EDM world, with fusion of other genre's in there that can transform music from one spectrum to a complete other. While I am a fan of electronic and trance, I don't mind these sort of tracks every now and then. The music video is pretty cool as well, take a look and listen. 

Monday Choon: The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face (Martin Garrix Remix)

R&B singer "The Weeknd" has been blowing up of recent and his latest single "Can't Feel My Face" is ever popular on any radio station and features on most of the Top 40 charts. Good ol Martin Garrix decided to take this track an spice it up a bit in his own unique way and boy does it sound good. He first dropped this track at Tomorrowland in Belgium and now it seems to be becoming more popular than the original! It's not officially released as yet but we manged to find a copy of it.
