#5. Gallant – Learn to Fly (Foo Fighters Cover)

Well this one was unexpected. Learn to Fly was one of my favourite songs growing up, including having one kickass music video. Don’t know if I could have ever pictured it being spun into a power ballad, but Gallant does what Gallant wants to do. And boy does he do it well.
#4. ALAEV feat. Julia B – Light As A Feather (SoulCircuit Remix)

This right here is some smooth house music. Not quite enough to get you going at a dance party, but perhaps the perfect song to play while everyone settles in, has a few drinks and breaks the ice. It’s like a dance appetizer.
#3. A$AP Rocky – L$D (Terry Urban Remix)

I was at a bar last week that typically plays 90s rock. Suddenly the video for L$D came on. Seems like everyone and their grandmother has heard that song by now, despite the record being out what…maybe a week or two now? I love the track, and it would definitely have made my cut…but I decided to go with Terry Urban’s remix to keep things interesting. If you haven’t heard the original yet, definitely go give it a listen.
#2. A$AP Rocky feat. Joe Fox – Holy Ghost
A$AP Rocky’s ALLA is amazing. I could have put quite a few tracks from it on my list this week. Out of all, it’s a close race between L$D and Holy Ghost for my favourite.
#1. Rationale – Re.Up
Yes. This will do nicely. The moment the song started I was in love. I’m already a fan of Rationale’s other release (Fast Lane), but Re.Up really made me perk up and take notice of these guys. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
