1. Seapoint – Wave Sequence

Starting off this month with some bright and breezy piano house from Barcelona’s Seapoint. Think I came across this one via the very tasty Fisky remix on this EP and was pleasantly surprised to discover it wasn’t the only banger to be had on here. Not exactly a game changer of a track this, but BIG TUNE nonetheless.

2. Clubkelly – Mitsuki

Yet more quality from Crazy Legs, who have gotten couple mentions on here already. This time it’s Paris’s Clubkelly, who has fully outdone himself on his recent four tracker, giving us a frantic, yet still emotive take on that familiar ‘French touch’ house of the early 00’s, while still sounding fresh as fuck. TOOL on the same release is also a belter.

3. Ipman – Strong Ones

Some big room techno from former dubstep guy Ipman, one of a few tasty selections off his interestingly electic debut full length on Tectonic. Building from a nasty electro roller to quite a climatic finish, this one’s a bit of a grower but definitely worth it.

4. DJ Nightmare – Pull Up Riddim

Ooooosh this tune yeah. An ugly, disjointed little banger of a tune from DJ Nightmare, better known as Leeds’ Joedan. Shit is wonky as hell, dirty subs and that insistent, treble tap rhythm is perfectly executed. Straight club merkage this. Pull up.

5. Palace – Trust

Slinky little 2-step number from the slightly earlier days of DJ Haus’ Unknown to the Unknown, a label I haven’t been shy about harping on about in the past. Simple and well executed, this one’s an understated little mover that’ll be moving firmly into your head, if yer anything like me.

6. Scottie B – Niggaz Fightin

This right here is some shit. Straight Baltimore fire, which I was honestly a little shocked to discover is old enough to buy its own drinks. As you’d expect there’s nothing too complicated at work here, just some simple samples, that break, and a big fat kick. Sounds like a fucking riot though.

7. Deke Soto – Silicium Romance

Now I heard this tune first fucking aaaaaages ago, in this (bangin) Douster mix from summer 2014. It hadn’t come out then, but figured it would be soon forthcoming. About a year later I actually messaged Douster asking what the fuck happened to it and didn’t seem to know either. Long story short, it came out in April and it’s really good. It’s a tense, emotive, percussive banger, in the style of Nervous Horizon and their cybergrime ilk. Big.

8. Aiden Francis – Square One

Sometimes I get really into a tune that I haven’t got a lot to say about. Sometimes I get really into a tune that probably isn’t that good. This is example of both those things being true at once. Despite this though, I couldn’t exclude it from this months write-up because, well, I got really into this tune.

9. Bart B More – Fusion

Actually got this tune months ago and it went over my head, but rediscovered it whilst digging through the aul SD card for a mix the other and completely fell in love. Such an abrasive, over the top fucking BELTER of a track, a racous, fist pumping club slammer, unabashed in its exuberance and definitely gonna spill its drink all over you.

10. Skippit – Lovin U

Another lad who’s had a few close shaves when it comes to being written about by me, Skippit has been behind a number of my favourite bassline tracks this year. Like most of his big tunes, there’s nothing too outside the box going on here aside from just excellent song writing, perfectly executed, slick where it needs to be and rough where it doesn’t.

#CRYBANGER OTM – Simbad feat. Abdul Shyllon – Soul Fever (Karizma’s K2 Dub)

One thing I think all these #CRYBANGERS have in common is that they’ll all tunes that I’ve been familiar with for a good while. Takes time for a tune to earn the title of #CRYBANGER for me, and this is no exception, cuz it’s a track I first heard in this Мишка Keep Watch Mix from April 2011, from none other than L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok.But yeah anyway, I’ve been obsessed with this mix for years and this tune in particular, the stand-out tune in a mix absolutely riddled with bangers. Everything about it just does it for me; the weird, jacking beat that barely varies throughout all of its hypnotic 7 minutes, the crystalline chiptune arps, the way the track breaks down to almost nothing, the, eh, soulful vocals, just everything is perfect, perfectly executed and perfectly gorgeous. BIG tune.
