December 12, 20213 yr 156 Shygirl ~ Slime I completely missed this when it was released, a bop! "Cleo" is my fave from her so far, currently at #2 in my chart 157 Sultan + Shepard and Le Youth ~ Skipping Stones First time hearing this. It's gorgeous :wub: I love the melodic house rebrand Sultan + Shepard have done. 160 Tobtok, Milwin and Alfie Cridland ~ New Levels (feat. Mila Falls) This briefly appeared on my chart last year. It does the mainstream bop sound very well. I recall The Snake being a very vocal fan of it. A shame it never took off despite the push it got. 161 deadmau5 and Kiesza ~ Bridged By A Lightwave I really enjoyed this. I agree, deadmau5's best in a while. Kiesza sounds almost unrecognizable here. My only issue was the original being too long and the radio edit being too short :lol: 164 Artbat and Sailor & I ~ Best of Me Loved this one :heart: I'm not a huge Artbat fan either but loving the new single "Horizon" a lot at the moment. 168 Eli & Fur ~ Burning [feat. Camden Cox] Eli & Fur are quite hit and miss for me but their album is definitely worth a listen. Lots of interesting sounds and approaches taken. There's a whole visual accompaniment on YouTube for it
December 12, 20213 yr Author 156 - it's a bop, the beat goes hard. I've not heard 'Cleo' yet. 157 - definitely, they'd been off my radar for many years beforehand but I'm enjoying their new stuff a fair bit. 160 - he was very much willing for it to be a hit. it made its way to the lower half of the iTunes top 100 which doesn't really count for anything these days. 161 - I get that, I eventually got fed up with the lengthy version and switched to the edit but then went back again cos of just how short the edit is. suppose I could've done a slapdash 5 minute edit on GarageBand if I was bothered enough. 164 - haven't heard that song yet either. 168 - it's been on my 'to-listen' list for a while so perhaps I should bump it up to the top of the list again (or at least 2nd behind the new Armin mixtape)
December 13, 20213 yr Good to see Christmas Time make an appearance here as well despite the relatively short chart run - whilst it didn't get near #1 on my own chart it is one of the best Christmas dance songs to have come out in a while. Don't Run from the Fire was a decent BJSC find as well, plus 'Loading' was definitely one of the less-bad songs of its kind from last year.

December 13, 20213 yr Author Good to see Christmas Time make an appearance here as well despite the relatively short chart run - whilst it didn't get near #1 on my own chart it is one of the best Christmas dance songs to have come out in a while. Don't Run from the Fire was a decent BJSC find as well, plus 'Loading' was definitely one of the less-bad songs of its kind from last year. Yep it'll never be able to make my top 100 of the year given it's a Christmas song but it should continue to do well in my chart through the next few years at least.
December 13, 20213 yr Great to see "Another Life" getting featured this year. It's still my favorite LTR track until now. Enjoying "Hurricane", "Just Feel Tight", "No Warning Lights", and "Christmas Time", "Shum (remix version)", "Fire", and "Paper Planes" as well.
