Bass, Chill, Deep House, Electronic | W8’s Top 10 Tracks of 2013

Posted by on December 23, 2013

We’re almost there. A few more days and 2013 will be another one for the books. ‘Tis the time to summarize a score of minty fresh jams that didn’t fade away too quickly this year, which is saying a hell of a lot these days. This compilation could have easily had tracks replaced with others, and all would be the same to me. There is just too many to name that are equally as good but I guess narrowing it down to 10 appeals to us all. Note that this vaporwave clip Feeel by Torus above is my favorite video of the year and is why it’s there. All this said I’ll let you get on with it. Have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.

Progressive House | LarsM feat. Mona Moua – Air

The two words “oh wow” when said together by a short, yet kinda tall blond girl, or anybody really, will always make me smile and think back to an awesome thing that transpired in my life that is now forever associated with those special words (it’s not a sexual thing I swear (it is)). I didn’t audibly say those two words but I definitely thought them when I first heard the powerful melody in the build of this song. LarsM, a 19 year old Polish producer who has a vast catalogue of past releases, of which most are free, is known for his (hold on, I’m going to reach into my bulging sack of overused blogger adjectives) “happy” sounding tracks. To say that he is on the same level as Avicii when it comes to catchy melodies might be a bit of a stretch, but he is not far behind. “Air”, his latest original, features the impressive vocals of Mona Moua and boasts an incredibly euphoric melody and drop. I have also included his older song “Earthlike” because it is one of his best tracks and it showcases his ability to create those outstanding melodies.
