Thank-you to the 14 voters who took part in the last poll :clap: - you chose iconic duo The Chemical Brothers as your winners with 6 votes. 'No Reason' features an energetic, bopping bass riff, snare rolls and, later in the track, a brash 303 acid bassline. Although coming 30 years after the release of the duo’s first single, it shows The Chemical Brothers sounding as fresh as ever in their distinctive, characterful, party-starting style. :party: :music:

Lane 8 has really done it again so unsurprisingly he has to get my vote :heart:

 

out of the rest, the Elkka song is the best - the DJSTTDJ track is only half as good as It's Still Me unfortch

Team yunè pinku for me this week!

yunè pinku quite easily, now I've heard them all

My favourite new electronic release is actually “Dreams” from this double A: https://gemitunes.bandcamp.com/album/dreams-tokyo-2

 

But from the list it's got to be Leon Vynehall. That section 3 minutes in absolutely glorious! Glad he changed his mind on not making club music anymore.

I think all bar Elkka and Willo will end up on my playlists this week, but voting for Andromeda, great song.

This week’s ratings;

 

1. Lane 8 – Woman [A very long song… but not in any way does that take away from the beauty of it]

2. yunè pinku – Sports [Quite liked this one, the vocals are very dreamy and a close winner this week]

3. Elkka – Hands [Feels like a stronger entry in the pack this week, so giving it some hype and high score!]

4. TYGAPAW feat. George Riley – GLAMOUR Riddim [Not really sure what to make of this, I didn’t dislike it but I am not sure what I think but it is decent]

5. Willo – FEEL LUCKY [Lots of chopped up vocals going on here, it seems ok and lots of energy]

6. Leon Vynehall – Rosebud [A nice piece of electronic house music]

7. DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – Something New [This sounded alright, but I wasn’t a huge fan again unfortunately]

8. Anunaku – Andromeda [Not a standout this week, although it picked up near the end I guess]

I went for TYGAPAW. Wouldn't sound out of place on Kelela's new album :wub:

 

The section from 02:20 onwards

 

Good: yunè pinku, Anunaku, Willo

Decent: Elkka, Lane 8, DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ, TYGAPAW

Mid: Leon Vynehall (:( the switchup a few minutes in was a bit better than the rest but then it just went back to the first part and I'm not really feeling it)

 

Not a massively inspiring week, quen pinku takes my vote again but this one is nowhere near as good as her last 2 singles.
