Long Time Coming - Merry Christmas!!!

Sup?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! And I wanna wish you all a very Happy New Year too from us at STT.

It's been a while since my last and a lot has happened since then. I had what seemed like an endless month of academic torture during which I barely kept track of the music scene. And after that I've just not gotten back into a routine.

I do however have a lot of good stuff to put up and a lot of people have been on my back to do a post so I decided to get on it and give you guys a Christmas and year ending gift.

I'm sure all of you'll have noticed the new look to the blog and I quite frankly do not really dig it. Its the new template and shit. Still working our way around it so be patient. We'll be rolling out the new much needed look soon enough.

Here goes with the music. I'm not saying much bout each track. You'll have to just trust me with them -

Open Your Eyes (Original Mix) - Alex Metric & Steve Agnello

Alive - Dirty South & Thomas Gold ft Kate Elsworth

To The Starz (Break The Noize & The Autobots Remix) - Modestep

Keep it real.
One Love.

Transport.

Hello, wonderful people.

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

A very typical Adam Nickey track.

2. Gone Missing (Nitrous Oxide Remix) - Sequentia

A different side to Nitrous Oxide. Loving it.

Fairly old. Effing love this song.

Beautiful progression.

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

40. Ride - Cary Brothers

This song is very, very old. I'm in love with it. Love the Tiesto remix too.

Not bad. Aly & Fila disappointed me at Sunburn though :(

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

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.

Trance Out

Hello, beautiful people! It's been quite a while since I updated my music here. SO much has happened in the past month! I ended up going to Goa with my favourite-est people in the entire world to bring in my 21st birthday. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've had because I was visiting Goa after 11 years! Anywho, that trip influenced me in numerous ways imaginable! Musically, mostly. I never thought I'd be able to veer from my dose of r&b and delve into a genre I've just about come to discover - Trance! Arshad, has been a huge contributor to this new found like and I haven't been able to get enough of it. Therefore, while this post will contain some of my regular stuff, the trance music I post will definitely hold the reins.

1. Painkillers (Club Mix) - Kyau & Albert
Gradually making you want more.

This song is the freaking SHIT. The beats will drive you insane! To top it off, they're gonna be at Sunburn! The excitement cannot be contained! Credits to Arshad for this one.
