With a groovy, funky theme throughout, Barks recaptures a Will Smith classic. Creating a more atmospheric and melodic experience that fully enhances the theme of the original.

The Who – Baba O’Riley (Justin Caruso Remix)
I’m glad SoundCloud didn’t purge on this one. Everyone knows The Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” Justin Caruso unleashed a deep house remix of the tune so fresh that even the original artists would find it hard not to dig on.

Deorro ft. Erin McCarley – I Can Be Somebody
A man who needs no introduction. When Deorro throws down a new track, you listen. Suprisingly, a long time ago Deorro said he was throwing in the towel, but instead it seems he’s just spaced out his shows and releases more.
Mary J. Blige – Family Affair (INSTRUM Remix)
INSTRUM continues to release fresh house tunes that people can’t stop loving. His atmospherics, guitar work, and electronic come together in perfect harmony to form a chill-themed symphony.

Lions Head – Firecracker (Mahama Edit)
In pleasant chill house fashion, La Tropicál premieres “Firecracker (Mahama Edit)” a heart-wrenching single that’s simple, smooth, and catchy as hell.
Sapele – Looking At You
Deep house, chill house, and melodic house are overlapping each other, while at the same time experiencing a surge in popularity in 2015. Sapele’s “Looking At You” is the product of this trend, the result is pure gold.
Craig David – Fill Me In (Lliam Taylor Remix)
Lliam Taylor is a super talented underdog who is proving to the world he has serious production skills up his sleeve. His fusion of deep house vibes and contemporary pop vocals is beyond on point.

Tim Shaft – Unstoppable (Original Mix)
When bangers get thrown your way, you have take them with a grain a salt. But with assured clarity, Tim Shaft knows what he is doing in the electro-house game. “Unstoppable” conveys just that – a pulsing beat, fast melodies, and a sound that is unstoppable.
Kronic – Feel That Ft. Raven Felix
Kronic is back with another catchy trap tune for the masses. This one takes a more experimental, futuristic path, featuring a sick feminine rap verse from Raven Felix that kills it all around.
Gunslinger – Air Raid
From the first few seconds, “Air Raid” amazed me, it’s 80’s-meets-bass intro easily engulfs you into the dark world of the Gunslingers, then takes you on a incredible bass journey that’s all it’s own.
Trentino & J. Worra – WYGD WAT
With sounds that will make your stomach churn, Trentino & J. Worra form “WYGD WAT.” The tune combines 90’s hip-hop beats with their own weird thing. Frankly, it sounds awesome and it’s dope to see Brooklyn Fire picked them up.
Crywolf – Dysphoria B Sides
Speaking of dark tunes, Crywolf’s B Sides release of Dysphoria is seriously eery, those masks tho. The 3-track pack features three stellar remixes that focus on the melodic side of electro and bass, very much worth the listen.
