The funny thing is that in South Africa this and “Skeleton Move” are actually winter jams.

the Hollie Cook single, stay alive was released in the cold January, yet it screamed great chilled Summer track even then. It's a great radio track that was playlisted by 6Music.

my current favorite track of 2018, is from French vocalist/producer Oklou - Friendless

the deep layered sound production, the sensual vocals, the mysterious atmospheric ambience. stunning arty visuals (sunset, beach, dunes, water, dog, windmills) on the video. Released on Coucou Chloe's Nuxxe label.

Yemi Alade ft. Admiral T & Lady Leshurr - Bum Bum (Remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExTXrWBUzKU

The whole Admiral T verse just feels hugely dubious until Lady Leshurr appears and slaps that shit down.

Albanian trippy trap pop-rap

very addictive track

Tayna ft. Don Phenom - Columbiana

This slams:

N’veigh ft. Kid X & Caask Asid • Stofong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_xmTHLnmcA

(Another South African winter jam)

it's Summer 2018, take me back to 1990 vibes

Sounds like Electribe 101 / Billie Ray Martin:

Roisin Murphy - Plaything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxM6FNhc6O8
produced by Maurice Fulton

tonight we are Primal Scream:

Confidence Man - Out the Window
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQGwjhDANVA

riyl early 90s New Order / Electronic...now with female vocals

ShadowParty - Present Tense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhCY47os3CU

Current Members of New Order & Devo plus Denise Johnson (Primal Scream, ACR) - create a 1990 vibe New Order / Electronic. Denise's vocals on this track are so similar to recent Kim Wilde in terms of singing style and tone.

Spotty list updated pals
