Things certainly have been changing around here! I have started working too. Hence the absence. I hope Arshad's 100 song post kept you guys satisfied for a while.
I have been scouring a lot of my top sources for r&b and hip hop and it's with utter disappointment that I declare that I have found very few worth mentioning.
I have no idea why only few artists are hitting that sweet spot and soaring charts while the others are just happy with mediocre. I feel like most songs are just functioning like a cop out. I have also realized how some artists are now just beginning to annoy the fuck out of me. Their one tune music and same collaborations are doing nothing for me.
Anyway, the post is supposed to be about the music that has kept me happy whilst I clickety click on the computer all day long and I hope you find yourself swirling in nirvana when you hear them.
1. Livia - Adam Nickey pres. Blue

Ma Faiza's mix of this one at Sunburn was just OUT OF THIS WORLD. Get hold of her ENTIRE set!
11. Come With Us - Taylor & Close
Awesome layers.
12. Transcend (Original Mix) - Ummet Ozcan
Even though this isn't entirely like the kind of stuff he makes, it still has him all over it! :)
13. Dinoysia (Original Mix) - Juventa
Beautiful progression.

Some might like it, some might not. But worth a listen!

My new obsession. BRILLIANT.

First State remixes are always a pleasure to hear.
24. I'm Into You - Jennifer Lopez ft Lil Wayne
Forgive me, my r&b music posts are going to be pretty outdated cause there are very few I actually end up liking :P. I love Taio Cruz, but I weirdly prefer this one. Weezy fever.
25. Fallen - Jeremy Greene
This fella has been putting some awesome stuff out there for the past 3 years.
26. E.T (Futuristic Lover) (Tiesto Remix) - Katy Perry
I'm not that big a fan of the original. You decide.

Just when I thought the vocals were all there was to the song, it dropped...and I was lost. :)

Give this one time. You won't be disappointed.

This song is very, very old. I'm in love with it. Love the Tiesto remix too.
41. We Control The Sunlight - Aly & Fila ft Jwaydan

42. Follow You (Maor Levi Remix) - Nitrous Oxide ft Aneym
Both Nitrous Oxide and Maor Levi are underrated. Super stuff.

Music for your soul

Back to being the Deadmau5 I love

A beautiful, beautiful song.
49. Welcome To Saint Tropez - Timati ft Kalenna
I know it took forever to get this post done. The blog has been inactive yes, but it's not dead! More music coming SOON.
A fun little fact. A got to meet Ma Faiza for his big 21. A friend of ours orchestrated it all and it was the most unconventional turn of events! Anyway, A and I both had the pleasure of meeting her at her home and getting two autographed CDs (one of which, was her set at Sunburn!). She is an amazing person and inspiration comes our way cause of people like her. If you haven't heard of her, LOOK HER UP. You won't ever forget her.
Until then,
As always,
Much love.
