When listening back to these older selections, it's fun to see how some of these artists are now well known.

However, this doesn't change my way of appreciating songs  based on the fact that there is absolutely non correlation  between the number of play and the quality of a song.

Hope you will enjoy listening to this 2018 top songs playlist !!!

Where Did You Go

What if the form of our world is foremost reflected in the form of music? 
Then the highest philosophical sensibility will be a musical sensibility which connects all humans on this planet.

I pave the backstreet with the mist of my brain
I cross the gap between platform and train
Falling into me
Violet strip lights I try to dissipate my focus
Falling into me
But I realise I can’t keep hiding my emotions
Falling into me
I can’t just lay or let be
When all the words you say are hanging onto me
You occupy my mind by every which way

And when I climb the steps to street
There is no reason to doubt myself here
My thoughts were pouring down with the rain
But now see that it’s so crystal clear

We got this

You
Me
This
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need
To be
Restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say x2

When we were like night bloom violets
Our handprints pressed to my window
I was feeling quite right like this as the lightning glitched
And it echoed in your eyes
Beating right through the denim
You left a dent in my home screen
We’re in so far
But we need it

You know I’d
Bite my hair as I tried to justify
You know I
You know I

No hesitation at the traffic lights
Beneath the black in my windscreen
We drive
I think they caught it on camera
Can’t help but feel it again

It’s just the necessary price you pay
If you listen to your instincts
And I
Don’t wanna cast it in concrete
And then it hits me again

We’re so illuminated in the night
Alight together down the fire line
Fireline

Beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat

Here's our DnB spin to this instant classic by George FitzGerald & Lil Silva. Taking the sultry vocals and smooth melodies and adding their signature liquid roller vibes has proven to provide big impact in the club as well as the headphones.

Having already received support on BBC Radio 1 from Renè LaVice and getting crowds hyped on a deep vibe at BoS gigs, this one is sure to light up many a dance floor this summer.

Places X Once Again / The Blaze X Petit Biscuit

These are the rules: Fall in love, become a better version of yourself, lose it all along the way, repeat. In «Living Inside Your Love», Monumental Men sound out the abyss within the pinnacle of human emotion, juxtaposing time-tested serenity and wild-at-heart naïveté. The slurred choral of after-hours arrogance is challenged by the inevitability of a four-to-the-floor, proudly leading the way to yet another what-could-have-been.

Living Inside Your Love

Wouldn't Be the Same (Taya Remix) [feat. Keelan Mak] - Single

TORA ft. Keelan Mak - Wouldn't Be the Same (TAYA Remix) • Lustre • Full Track

Brian Laruso is back on Melodic Deep, this time presenting us a superb 'retouch' of "Untold", the brand new RY X track released in October from his enw album "Unfurl". The german producer based in Ibiza made a real masterpiece, a dreamy version, pure Deep House with some melodic elements. You can feel the Ibiza's smell in here. We were really impressed.

Be it the excitement of a pluck of a guitar string or the encompassing
comfort of a four-to-the-floor at 4:30 am on a Tuesday: Monumental are
deeply rooted in the joy of making music. Both at home in the studio and
on stage, the collective sources their inspiration from a plethora of
backgrounds in visual arts, storytelling and creative friction. Monumental
consistently share their findings through their passion of creating
community in social gatherings. Thankfully tapping in the talents of friends they meet along the way, Monumental obsessively think and rethink the ways music can be enjoyed today.
