The Top 15 House Tracks of July 2018
With all the usual unoriginality so prevalent in house music, the best of what the genre had to offer came from the deeper end of the spectrum. A select few chart-toppers made it to the list but the majority of the best tunes were deeper, darker, and dreamier.
1. "DRE" - SOLOMUN [DIYNAMIC]
The backbone of this magnificent #2 track on Solomun's latest may be electro but it can surely camouflage it's way into a proper house set.
2. "TINIRI (MATTHIAS MEYER REMIX)" - SABO & AMINE K [SOL SELECTAS]
The incomparable Matthias Meyer casts his magical remix spell on this very interesting production which features authentic Moroccan instruments.
3. "ON AND ON" - MARTIN EYERER & MARKUS HOMM [CULPRIT]
Martin Eyerer's EP with Markus Homm on Culprit boasts a Ryan Crosson remix and two smoking originals including this funky one they simply call "On And On."
4. "DOPAMINE MACHINE" - CAMELPHAT & ALI LOVE [DEFECTED]
Camelphat continues their onslaught of chart-toppers with this lo-fi banger along with Hot Natured's own, Ali Love!
5. "M.E.A." - ILLYUS & BARRIENTOS [TOOLROOM]
A classic vocal hook meets a mighty snare build on this massive Illyus & Barrientos production worthy of the peak of your Saturday night.
6. "EVERYBODYS ROBOT" - STELIOS VASSILOUDIS & NILS NUERNBERG [TENAMPA]
Greek producer, Stelios Vassiloudis and Germany's Nils Nuernberg got together and created this ethereal piece of music they call "Everybodys Robot."
7. "FLY LIFE (FLASHMOB 2018 REMIX)" - BASEMENT JAXX [GLASGOW UNDERGROUND]
Now I'm not one for remakes but I'm going to go out on a limb here because Flashmob's snazzy new update of "Fly Life" definitely rivals the original.
8. "GRAVITY FALLS (RAW DISTRICT REMIX)" - ANTHONY MIDDLETON [AKBAL MUSIC]
This new release on Akbal Music comes courtesy of Audiofly's Anthony Middleton and it features this brain-shivering remix from Belgian duo, Raw District!
9. "BAROHA" - MODD [AKBAL MUSIC]
Modd has nearly mastered the ethereal daytime vibes on this most recent outing on Akbal Music. A second placing on this month's chart for the label.
10. "THAW" - ADISYN [KINDISCH]
After just a six month break, Miami-producer Adisyn returns to Kindisch with another package of shimmering tunes perfectly suitable for that laid-back Summer day.
11. "THE SOLUTION" - CAMELPHAT [CIRCUS RECORDINGS]
Camphat's "Dopamine Machine" may be the radio tune but it's "The Solution" which you will probably find yourself getting down to in the wee hours of the morning.
12. "UPSET" - VERNER [QUARTET SERIES]
Italian producer, Verner lands #4 on the coveted Quartet Series with seven mega-quirky numbers including this funker he's titled "Upset."
13. "SUNRISE AT ES CUBELLS" - DARIUS SYROSSIAN [8BIT]
Darius Syrossian's newest outing on 8Bit features the appropriately titled, "Sunrise At Es Cubells." A tune which at first may sound like it deserves a play at the southern end of Ibiza but the meat and the bones of it tell us a different story as it surely deserves some solid plays within the confines of the likes of Amnesia.
14. "TOMORROW IS ANOTHER NIGHT (ANTHONY MIDDLETON MANDOSES REMIX)" - M.A.N.D.Y. FEAT. JIMMY VALLANCE [GET PHYSICAL MUSIC]
This stellar collab with Bob Moses' Jimmy Vallance gets a full remix release which is led off with this ethereal interpretation from Anthony Middleton.
15. "SHILA" - BOG [MONABERRY]
The underground's next star, BOg wraps up the chart this month with a tune that expertly blends organic and electronic elements. A combo that will surely translate well on the dance-floor.
