ARMIN VAN BUUREN, SILVER PANDA - HERE IN MY ARMS (ENJOY THE SILENCE)

 The 1990 mega synth clasic by Depeche Mode finds a new melodic techno reinterpretation by Armin van Buuren who has teamed up with Silver Panda for "Here In My Arms (Enjoy The Silence)".The original is way better than this one no question about it as almost every classic that has been covered or whatever you wanna call it.This new version layers propulsive drums and atmospheric synth textures beneath the song’s familiar melancholy. The electronic music icon, who has spent his career shaping the sound of mainstage trance, brings his signature sense of scale while the rising Silver Panda duo infuse their pulsating sound.The release continues a long history of Van Buuren reworking classic tracks, a practice that has become something of a signature move over his career.I m pretty sure that this one will sound great in a big dance venue.

MADONNA - HOT SAUCE

     Have a great week soundfisters....

Having a number one album throught so many decades is almost an impossible achievement for an artist.But Madonna is so much more than that.Madonna becomes the third woman in history to score ten #1 albums on the Billboard 200 and also becomes the first female artist from the US to score a #1 album across five decades in the UK.The "Confessions II: Icon Edition" includes an exclusive bonus track "Hot Sauce" which also uses the sample from Abba's "Gimme Gimme Gimme" as a connection to "Confession I" album.The song also serves as a commercial tie-in to her partnership with Absolut and Tabasco."Hot Sauce" is a heavily Latin-flavored, blending retro disco with modern electronic club beats a recipe you can't escape even if you wanted to.

KYGO & MAX MCNOWN - TAKE ME BACK

 Kygo has a distinguished melodic production easily spotted in almost every track he released.Blending Kygo's signature sound with Max McNown's heartfelt vocals, "Take Me Back" is an emotional collaboration that combines summer and a dance mood. Nashville-based singer-songwriter Max McNown explores the gnawing ache of memory lane, tracing a ruined relationship back to a specific hotel bar. His lyrics deal with the frustrating finality of mistakes with a vintage, effervescent Kygo beat.Since it's release the track has a positive reaction but it's to early to say if this one will give him a hit record (or whatever that means nowdays).For what it worths "Take Me Back" might actual work...

THE SCRIPT - THE CROWD WAS SINGING WONDERWALL

 With the three lions qualifying to the semi finals of the world cup against Argentina the frenzy of "Wonderwall" by the Oasis is beyond imagination converting the classic into a football anthem.Now i don't know if The Script were inspired by the football fans or because of the Oasis reunion probably the second because of the lyrics the result is pretty interesting.The song will be part of their upcoming album "The User's Guide To Being Human" which will be released on August 14.The song tells the story of two friends who had grown apart in 1993 and are reunited, more than three decades later, at Oasis’ reunion concerts. Through this story, The Script highlight music as a way of reconnecting and emotional redemption cause music can also do that...

JOSH BAKER, POPPY BASKCOMB - MY PLACE

 Sad week for music as we lost two 80s icons, Bonnie Tyler and Calvin Hayes from the beloved Johnny Hates Jazz.It's getting really annoying to feel that your 80s memories are leaving one by one and gone too soon if you ask me.And through my personal struggle with dimentia for one member of my family music continues to keep me sane and forget even for a while my problems.Getting in touch with my blog has always been my personal refugee.

Now highly visible Manchester-based DJ and music producer Josh Baker has a dance hit on his hands right now collaborating with Poppy Baskcomp for the dj favourite "My Place".The song has the capability to evolve from a topline into a dance floor sing-along. The track is built for those peak-time, hands-in-the-air moments where the dancefloor collective becomes one. Baker has masterfully balanced the vocal's melodic appeal with a rhythmic drive that ensures the energy never dips, making it a versatile weapon for both sunset terrace sessions and dark, intimate club rooms.

ARGY, PAUL OAKENFOLD & PLANET PERFECTO KNIGHTS - RESURECTION

  "Space Melody" (originally inspired by Eduard Artemyev's "Siberiade" theme) was used in 2001 by PPK producing one of the most iconic trance anthems.Argy’s collaboration with Paul Oakenfold and Planet Perfecto Knights on "ResuRection" is a massive melodic techno rework of that 2001 trance classic recycling as most djs do dance anthems into a new perspective.It modernizes the iconic synth hook with a driving 4x4 rhythm, stadium-sized cinematic build-ups, and pulsating energy.However, Argy strips back the original's euro-trance speed and introduces a rolling sub-bass foundation, deep kicks, and contemporary cinematic tension typical of the mainstage melodic techno sound.This is made for festival stages and since dance music is your thing this is pretty enjoyable.

HUGEL, BRYSON TILLER - TEMPTATION

 It's natural but pretty sad also to see everytime a legend is leaving this vanity world their songs being on the top of the list of i-tunes but all this time ignored like common mortals.Death sells even if it is for a couple of days...Now Hugel's album along with the one by Madonna are the biggest dance albums this year so they produce one single after another.His brand new "Temptation" along with Bryson Tiller on vocals also carries that summer vibe that Hugel seems to have tons of it in his music.Hugel's album is a play from start to end with no skip record ready to be chosen if you had to pick only one record to have with you this summer.This week plenty of dance music will be posted on this blog so be ready...

TEDDY SWIMS - BREAK UP IN REVERSE

 Teddy Swims knows exactly what he is doing by delevering songs that are emotional connected with the listeners and true to what singing a song is all about.No tricks here no technology just plain emotional giving by a wonderful voice."Break Up in Reverse" by Teddy Swims is an emotionally raw, soulful ballad. It explores the paradox of wishing to undo the painful leaving process rather than just the absence, mourning the irreversible damage caused by the separation itself. Staying true to his signature style, the track perfectly balances gravelly grit and smooth soul. The subtle rises in volume and vocal riffs powerfully highlight the singer's regret and vulnerability.This may not be a chart favourite in general but hearing it live on one of his shows will definitely make you love him even more.A voice and a song that can not be ignored by the audience.

JUNGLE - SOMEDAY SOMEWHERE

 Sometimes music smells different textures, feelings, seasons and Jungle's brand new single does exactly that."Someday, Somewhere" in summertime is the perfect soundtrack in our lives straight out off their new album "Sunshine", available August 14.The song is about holding onto that feeling that something better is coming. It’s got that late-summer Jungle optimism, a little bit of longing, a little bit of escape, and hopefully something people can lose themselves in.The band was founded by Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, who met at the age of 10 in West London’s Shepherd’s Bush. They began making music together at the beginning of 2013, choosing to put the aesthetic emphasis on the music’s surrounding artwork and videos rather than on their own identities. The production and songwriting duo has since expanded, welcoming vocalist and producer Lydia Kitto to the group as a permanent member in 2023.

 Some decide to walk these streets in order to have something to expect.Others avoid them like hell cause feeling disappointed in the end is something they can't tolerate.Either way U2 know these streets and they offer you their locations on their brand new single.The streets are not the only thing that has no name and "Street of Dreams", the first single from the band's yet-to-be announced studio album, is out now.Their brand new studio album will be their first in 9 years and is due for release later this year.The music video for "Street of Dreams" was shot in Mexico City in May near Plaza Santo Domingo gathering a huge crowd of fans despite inclement weather, with thunder and rain unexpectedly causing a generator to crash and a local family welcoming the four band members into their apartment to film on the balcony.This September will celebrate 50 years since the band's formation after Larry posted a handwritten note which read "Drummer seeks musicians to form band'' on the school noticeboard at Dublin's Mount Temple Comprehensive.And since that day they remain one of the biggest bands this planet has ever encounter.

TAKE THAT - SWEET JULY

 For some July may be sweet for others bitter for Take That it's the second single from their upcoming tenth studio album.Many songs in the past have been recorded for this particular month of the year that signals the middle of summer in the north hemisphere.Take That is probably the biggest boy band in the Uk from the 90s that continues their legacy after all these years."Sweet July" is rather uplifting, a sultry summer song with a beat driven verse and staccato vocals on top and with a classic, euphoric Take That chorus.Uk fans and the radio there will embrace once more the band offering probably another top 60 for them.

SAXBOY BILLY - PUERTO RICO SONG

 I have been waiting long enough to write for this song but it kept staying strong while i thought it will vanish soon.But comedian and content creator Bill Stiteler (Saxboy Billy) kept going viral over and over again with a song that was created using the AI music platform Suno.This upbeat, heavy 80s influenced saxophone track went viral for its relatable lyrics about the plane clapping when landing in San Juan the capital of Puerto Rico. The track quickly became a "song of the summer" contender on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Major celebrities including Charlie Puth, Mila Kunis, and Jennifer Love Hewitt participated in the lip-syncing and dance trends causing it's appearence on the charts recently on both sides of the Atlantic.I have to get over the fact that this an AI tune cause if you really think about it before AI djs mostly created music on computers so it's kinda the same thing.Not to mention that i really like this 80s vibe it brings.

JOSH FAWAZ - WONDERWALL

 Now how "Wonderwall" from Oasis converted from a classic to England's national football theme is one of the strange things only human mind can do.On the other hand this guy over here making dance covers starting with "Like A Prayer" that made a quite trending impact is something that runs in his blood so making a dance cover of "Wonderwall" is expected.These kind of djs using technology and their skills in remixing can often make a name of their one in global scale but usually after few months they vanish.This cover stands not seriously critic it's just the song that found a new place in the music world and probably will continue in the next World football cup starting from this year.

LUCA SKETTI - TI VEDO

 Since it's summer there is always room for a summer anthem you didn't know you need. Rising Italian DJ and producer Luca Sketti is responsible for this one and i can tell you this one’s a certified summer banger."Ti Vedo" which means "I See You" it's the kind of track that sounds like golden hour feels.The kind that makes you close your eyes on the dance floor and forget what day it is.Having a warm percussion, hypnotic rhythm, and a deep Afro house groove that doesn’t let go from the first beat to the last this dance anthem can create frenzy feeling the summer air with every bit of that sun-soaked, cross-cultural energy into this record.Afro house is having one of its biggest moments yet on the global stage, bleeding into festival lineups, rooftop parties, and beach clubs from Ibiza to Mykonos to Lagos. And "Ti Vedo" is precisely the kind of record that thrives in all of those spaces. It’s universal. It’s joyful. It hits."I See You" dancing....
