SILVA BUMBA - ON 2NITE (DUSKY REMIX)

  British producer and DJ from Sheffield Silva Bumba based in Manchester/London is known as a leading figure in the mid-2020s UK garage, speed garage, and bassline revival. His music blends old-school '90s and 2000s club bounce with heavy sub-bass.This year is his breakthrough on the Uk charts with "On 2Nite" which is already a Top 20 hit and why not go higher.This sound is more for the Uk dance lovers but this recent remix by Dusky makes it appealing to a wider audience.This is why i choose this more commercial version of this Uk chart hit that is vibrating right now.

SAM SMITH - WHEN HE'S GONE

 Sam Smith is trying to find his pace in music by releasing a new song which serves as the third official single from his upcoming fifth studio album, "Hazel Eyes".His path to more folk-soul sounds is a dare move that won't give him a hit record and he knows it.Maybe he is driven from an inner need in making a more personal album that moves in this direction rather than making a global success once again. "When He's Gone" bridges classic soul balladry with modern widescreen pop storytelling. By stripping away rigid metronomic production, Smith showcases a refined vocal clarity and artistic confidence.Do i like it?Comparing to his previous two singles from the album that i didn't even bother to write this one has something interesting that can really grow in time.

 And then you have real people real musicians and singers making music out of their souls trying to reach yours."Always on Your Side" is the fourth single released from British producer Bonobo’s (Simon Green) eighth studio album, "Distance in Static".The track pairs Bonobo’s lush, organic electronic production with the soulful vocals of South London singer-songwriter Joy Crookes.The song strikes a delicate balance between club-adjacent warmth and introspective, acoustic-driven downtempo that fits perfectly with your summer.Joy Crookes brings a smoky, jazz-tinged vulnerability that grounds the electronic soundscape."Always on Your Side" showcases Bonobo at his most melancholic and organic, serving as a masterclass in modern, soulful downtempo.This one is something you should keep...

KIMO SOUNDS - RISE SLOW

 I read an article today about how the music industry should deal about all these songs that are fully or partial generated by AI.Having a warning on them doesn't change the fact that songs like this one are getting very popular and if people spend money downloading them or being played on the radio doesn't change a thing. Decisions on how the industry should treat this phenomenon must be taken pretty soon but the future is already here and no one can change that.

Kimo Sounds is an independent electronic music project primarily focused on Deep House, Melodic House, and Afro House.Official video notes and distribution credits show that Kimo Sounds explicitly credits AI tools as part of the creative workflow. The artist's descriptions note that tracks are produced using a hybrid approach combining original lyric writing and mixing by Kimo Sounds alongside AI generation and synthesis tools.Not only the original version but also a bass boosted variant version are among the most popular songs this summer and it's being used by many on social media.Since the song it has been risen the choice is always yours.

FAT PAPI & PRODSHUSHY - FREAKED OUT

 For several weeks now i ve been watching the buzz and the virality of this track so i think it's time for some blogging about "Freaked Out". But who are these guys behind this viral hip-hop/electronic crossover.Fat Papi is a Kurdish rapper and producer born and raised in Aotearoa (New Zealand).Known for pioneering a distinct fusion of danceable synthwave/synthclub grooves, melodic hip-hop, and subtle Middle Eastern influence he is the first Kurdish artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.On the other hand Prodshushy is a beatmaker and music producer who serves as Fat Papi’s primary collaborator."Freaked Out" centers on high-energy club interactions, nocturnal nightlife, and unapologetic confidence. Its vocal performance flips between smooth verses and a repetitive, hypnotic hook.This is another living proof that if you get the viral factor then you will only be highlighted as a global crossoverbefore landing on mainstream charts.

STELLA LEFTY - BOSTON (IAN ASHER REMIX)

 Have a great week soundfisters....

With "Boston" being a top 10 single already in the USA and very soon in the Uk it's very common for djs to practice on it in order to make it avaliable on dancefloors.This Ian Asher remix is the first to appear with probably more to come very soon.Converting songs like that into dance anthems some may find it offensive for the original some others won't bother at all it's all part of the game.The breakout country-pop single has become one of 2026's fastest-rising songs, marking a major milestone for the Los Angeles singer-songwriter after months of steady streaming and radio growth.And there's more to come from Stella Lefty just sit and wait...

MAGNUS FERRELL - ASLEEP TALKING

 Another newcomer that needs to be spotted by the blog is Magnus Ferrell the 22-year-old son of famous actor Will Ferrell. His new song "Asleep Talking" is having a moment, taking off on social media and landing him on the Billboard charts.This is a rather slick soulful tune the kind music and charts need to be infused in order to bring back this genre back to where it belongs.Will Ferrell was a guest on Michelle Obama’s IMO podcast and played her the song, hyping up his son in the process. Since then, Khloe Kardashian, Charlie Puth, Heidi Klum and Ty Dolla $ign are just some of the stars who have supported the song publicly and the result keeps growing up.Magnuss Ferrell joined jazz band in his teens which he credits for his current groovy sound and when the world shut down during the pandemic, he had more time to focus on writing and producing music.As the songs keep on climbing the charts there’s plans for more music (there is also an acoustic version of "Asleep Talking") and a new single out in August, along with preparations for an album or EP. This one is damn good...

 There are several singles released many months or even years ago that are currently been re-discovered making their way to the charts."Earrings" by Malcolm Todd, The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry not to mention Zara Larsson's "Midnight Sun" are songs that for several reasons became hits long after their release.Now add Audrey Hobert's "Sue Me" that this week gained her first ever Uk hit with "Sue Me".The song relies on a bold, repetitive hook where she repeats "Sue me, I wanna be wanted" over 30 times in under three minutes.And guess what....Tik Tok is once again responsible for making this American singer trending right now. Hobert co-wrote massive hits like Gracie Abrams' "That's So True", which built her a ready-made audience of alt-pop fans before her solo push.Well sue her.....

ARIANA GRANDE - PETAL

 Nope!!! I really tried to connect with the brand new Ariana Grande album but i really couldn't.I found it extremely boring and a rather dark one for her status.From "Eternal Sunshine" to this is a long way but every artist deserves an artistic turn or dark nood.I really couldn't find at least one song to seperate from the others so i ll stick to her brand new single "Petal". The song serves as a personal statement about her artistic journey, reminding us that despite the hardships and intense exposure, music remains her constant point of reference. Combining pop aesthetics with more experimental approaches, personal lyrics and intense emotional charge Grande looks back at her relationship with the public, revealing her desire to continue creating on her own terms.She is free to do it but i m also free to feel that i can't connect...

CARDI B - AH HA

 According to Cardi B her first new single in 2026 belongs everywhere from weddings to funerals with a pit stop at the clubs.Just wear a swim suit like hers and leave it all to "Ah Ha".The song is the kind of aggressive, no-filter energy that’s kept her at the top of the rap game for years.On the track, Cardi takes a political stance that’s become increasingly central to her public persona.She raps about "Black trucks at the club, look like Trump in this b####” and follows it with a direct "f### him".I must admit that this is a catchy song that could lead to a top 10 action after a very long time.So far it’s unclear if "Ah Ha" is the launch of a new era or a one-off release.

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA & LYKKE LI - HAPPINESS IS SO SAD

 Collaborations are always interesting not only because of the frontline but also who's behind it.Swedish House Mafia have released an official studio version of their Lykke Li collaboration "Happiness Is So Sad". The track was produced by Swedish House Mafia alongside PARISI and Fred Again.., and was recorded in Stockholm. Additionally, superstar songwriter Max Martin contributed to the track.And now that you have the whole line up let's pretend that the result worths all these mega stars together.Nice intro that leeds to the main dance idea that doesn't bloom to my ears.Maybe i was expecting more and i didn't get it not that the outcome is not worth listening to.

KIRALY VIKTOR - SORRY NOT SORRY

 Is making soul music a smart move for your career. You bet it is cause sooner or later crooning soul will find it's place once again.Keep an eye on Kiraly Viktor  a Hungarian-American rapper, singer, and songwriter that has made quite an entrance in my acoustic field with "Sorry Not Sorry".Taken from his recently released album "My Name Is Viktor", this song is not just about the price of fame, but also a shift back to his soulful origins. Dipped in a retro smoothness, it’s the laidback rhythm, mellow horns and his vocal warmth that make this tune sound authentically velvety.Quite impressed by his sound let's just hope this is not a firework cause tracks like this one is very much needed (at least for me).
