"When I'm Not With You, I'm Not Me"

There's an assumed level of quality every time I press play for the first time on a Martin Solveig track. It's hard to explain, but in my mind there are artists that I'll always appreciate for their consistency, but never be a die-hard fan of their music. When I say that, there's no disrespect intended because songs like Places are really catchy and deserve a listen. The ode to that special someone has a smooth house vibe that gives Ina Wroldsen plenty of room to shine vocally. It gets plenty quirky post drop, but those who like funky house music will dig it. All in all a solid track, so feel free to rent or buy if you feel so inclined...#Places

Videos of the Week June 3rd

While music mostly dominates the top five this week, there are a few clear standouts. First and foremost, seeing Pharrell's reaction to Maggie Rogers' demo track at NYU's Clive Davis Institute in late March was genuinely awesome. I say that because his facial expressions show how moved he was when listening to her song. Really awesome to hear him interpret how well she conveyed her journey through music.

In the music video world, Alan Walker continued his come up with a video for his latest single Sing Me To Sleep. It sounds a lot like Faded, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. In other news, Timeflies managed to bring back college in their fratastic video for Once in a While and Martin Solveig threw a coastal/desert dance party in his video with Tkay Maidza for Do it Right. Rounding out the top five is a special dose of awesome from the amalgamation known as Big Grizmatik. The three headed monster managed to recruit George Clinton to join them on stage and, needless to say, craziness ensued...#BigGrizMatik

Intoxicating House Music From Martin Solveig

Ahh yes, who is in the mood for some horny Deep House? Wait...that came out wrong, but yea, there's plenty of trombone, bass line depth and feel good vibes embedded in Martin Solveig and GTA's new one Intoxicated. On first listen, I thought I heard some Mayer Hawthorne falsetto sprinkled in the mix, but that didn't end up being true. What I do know is that the heat rock below gets after it and should be played generously at any self-respecting dance club. Any song that rides the fence between hard hitting and happy wins in my book, so get with the newness that just surfaced on Beatport yesterday...#Intoxicated

"Hey Now, I Haven't Had a Good Laugh for a Day Now"

The core of my post last night about the Ultra Music Festival had to do with me lamenting over missing two weekend's full of my favorite EDM artists. What I didn't mention was the amount of great up and coming artists who lit up the stage in Miami like Martin Solveig. He used the festival to drop his new single featuring The Cataracs and Kyle. Off the top of my head, the phrases dope dance track and summer anthem come to mind. It's upbeat, catchy, go to the beach on a sunny day type of music. I love posting tracks like this that have the ability to immediately put people in a good mood...#SummerAnthem
