I'd had written Hugel off as a generic house producer for the most part but with this he proved he could make a proper club smash - and clearly one with some commercial appeal too given its Spotify playcount. The groove and bass here matched with the vocal call and response here makes this such an infectious track - though again one that would just about fail to give me a qualifier at BJSC. Top 100 Chart History Hugel 2018 52 Bella Ciao (El Profesor; Hugel Remix) 2019 88 WTF (feat.

It was the track that really put Sultan + Shepard on my radar and their album put out on Lane 8's label got a couple of listens off the back of it as well. It is a rather calming track with the feel of melodic house and a light breakbeat, going for atmosphere over anything. Top 100 Chart History Sultan + Shepard 2011 31 In The Air (with Morgan Page & BT feat.

Just a classic-sounding track that does all it needs to, quickly setting the track up before a break for the melody and then into trance euphoria. For me, easily the best off his album and it was a bit sad that this was the only truly great instrumental track off it when there were quite a few from the Emery collab album. Top 100 Chart History Ashley Wallbridge 2018 10 Surrender (w/ Darude feat.

Although a few of his fans considered it 'too commercial' it certainly still has a fair bit of his flavour in it, it's certainly far more inspired as a piano-driven house track than what you get in the actual charts. It also features a few brief interjections from Arctic Lake('s vocalist) whilst Boris gets himself ready to drop the beat again as a nice bit of contrast.

A brilliant LFM follow-up but sadly didn't get the right time of day in the UK chart. Featuring a strong vocal from Amber with Paul's signature piano riffs plus some strings too once it really gets going. It was a song that was particularly made for the summer which saw it have a little climb back later on in its run.

Adriatique have actually been around for about 10 years, but it was only through skimming through the Beatport chart as I occasionally do that I came across this which I was rather intrigued by and put on my playlist. 10 weeks later and it finally reached #1 and it would go on to represent Danæviia in BJSC where it was an unfortunate DNQ, but at least it managed to get a few fans in the process. It's quite simply 5 and a half minutes of audio bliss, with lush synths and vocals throughout. It's also got an excellent break section in the middle which feels even bigger than the drop that follows. This song could very easily be back in the year-end top 40 for 2021 too, as it currently sits in the top five still.Turns out it's once again in the EOY top 20 as it just refused to grow off me for the longest time. It really is a masterpiece in melodic house and it's a shame that neither of them have put out a follow-up worth caring for yet after casually putting out this. Top 100 Chart History Adriatique 2020 01 Home (with Marino Canal feat.

It's a very relaxing track with the backbeat and atmosphere only there to support the piano, the kind of organic melodic house I wish there was more of around. The track also sounded great in its ambient version which put it back in my top 10.

It was one of the very few uplifting trance songs in recent memory that really stood out as being really special, in a genre that tends to get a bit samey. It's a truly excellent and beautiful song with it managing to make the cliche "somebody loves you just the way you are" sound really meaningful. Not to mention the production here is outstanding, the best I've heard from Aly & Fila. The track may be as long as 6 minutes but not a second is wasted, the first half being focused on Plumb's vocal before going into a strings breakdown and finally a whole minute of energetic and full tranceyness. Top 100 Chart History Aly & Fila 2016 01 Unbreakable (with Roger Shah & Susana) MILLIONAIRE 2017 61 Beyond The Lights 2018 37 Quiet Storm (Club Mix) (feat.

It's a bit more on the low-key side of the genre sonically mostly to make room for an emotional vocal. There's no big synth breakdown but it's made up for by being a really well written song and having a beautiful atmosphere. A song that really tug on my heart strings which made it instantly a big #1 eventually lasting for 9 weeks at the top, the longest runner of the year.

The first drop takes you by surprise a little bit coming after a tense break but in the wider context of the piece as a whole really serves its purpose, eventually culminating in a truly majestic section with violin work and a melody to be in awe of. It's orchestrated and arranged really well which is the real highlight here, the very light house beat is just the bonus on top. Top 100 Chart History Worakls 2018 31 Elea 2019 15 Coeur De La Nuit (Ferdinand Dreyssig & Marvin Hey; Worakls Remix) 2020 01 Storm (with Rusanda Panfili) MILLIONAIRE 2021 05 Purple Noise (Boris Brejcha; Worakls Remix) 2021 23 Nikki (Rodriguez Jr. Remix) 2021 01 Inked (with Wen Yu) 2021 48 By The Brook (Sofiane Pamart Remix) Rusanda Panfili 2020 01 Storm (with Worakls) MILLIONAIRE

It's done in such a slick and vibey way with an irresistible bass groove and the pitched/sped-up vocals making the lyrics sound more fun. For me it had the edge that most of the year's other commercial dance songs just couldn't manage to find, and it felt more like a straight up dance record rather than one trying to be a pop song, the track has a lot of energy to it. Time will only tell if either of these performers will ever make another though. Top 100 Chart History Rain Radio 2021 01 Talk About (Rain Radio & DJ Craig Gorman) MILLIONAIRE DJ Craig Gorman 2021 01 Talk About (Rain Radio & DJ Craig Gorman) MILLIONAIRE

"Fine Lines" had the extra oomph that earlier releases were lacking, and a catchy vocal on top. It is the kind of big energy commercial house record that I still absolutely love despite my gravitation towards more mellow types of house. The song also gave me a top 10 finish in BJSC so I reckon it could've had some level of chart appeal if it were backed by a major label. They are still yet to follow this up so I hope whatever they're taking their sweet time for is worth it. Top 100 Chart History Felon 2017 56 Bittersweet (feat.

Love Tonight, albeit first released in 2017, was that tune of the year. Assisted by the admittedly great David Guetta remix, but it is the original version that secured most my attention. With lyrics about being that crying shoulder for someone and just wanting to be loved, it was a really lovely sentiment through the second year of the pandemic with the song being a musical warm hug. The vocal ensemble was a very unique approach and the sax solo just topped it off to make it a truly excellent song. With the drop just being beat-and-bass it really gave the emotional value to the vocal. In my chart it was a giant sleeper hit and sets a new record for the biggest #5 hit in an EOY chart. Although we may never get another song from Shouse (they haven't put out anything since 2018!) or even if they do return to music off the back of this belated success the magic likely can't be recreated. Top 100 Chart History Shouse 2021 05 Love Tonight MILLIONAIRE
