Katy B - "I Like You"
UK pop singer Katy B is expected to release her new EP, 5 AM, November 4th and has already shared the title track. "I Like You," the latest single from the record, was produced by George FitzGerald, known for his 90's house inspired work and features a straightforward, driving garage flavored beat. With dark synth sounds coupled with a confident delivery, the hook-heavy track has undeniably British club feel that is bound to tear up dancefloors.
Mount Kimbie - "Made To Stray" (DJ Koze Remix)
The excellent new album from Mount Kimbie, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, has brought on a slew of remixes from names like Kyle Hall, Lee Gamble, and now Berlin's DJ Koze joins that list with a stunning reinterpretation of "Made To Stray." Like much of his 2013 LP, Amygdala, the track balances strange, almost psychedelic elements with precise rhythms that border on hypnotic. Stretching to over eight minutes, the blissful remix is as sonically adventurous as we've come to expect from the producer while retaining the warmth that make even his zaniest tracks a rewarding listen.
Disclosure - "Apollo"
One of the biggest stories in dance music this year has been the breakthrough of young British duo Disclosure, whose debut LP, Settle, is a contender for album of the year. Combining elements of garage, house, and bass music coupled with crisp production, the pair make tracks that pack an energy that the genre hasn't seen for some time. While some Settle was more pop leaning, the pair get back to their roots on their latest track "Apollo." With soaring vocals, huge synth sounds, and driving bass, the massive track is yet another hit for the Lawrence brothers to add to their impressive resume.
Common - "I Want You" (Kaytranada Edition)
Montreal producer Kaytranada has been quickly rising with tracks like "At All" and remixes of Azealia Banks and Missy Elliot. His latest rework of rapper Common's "I Want You," is a bouncing, soulful take on the original with just the right amount of dancefloor flair. With a thick bass line and grooving percussion, hip hop and house elements are brought together perfectly to make for an absolutely infectious track.
