Not sure what’s going on right now but there is an insane amount of good music being pushed out right now…it must be Spring 🙂 new tunes for a much needed warmup. There are a couple of older tracks recently heard that deservedly needed to be included. Honestly, I know I’m only 7 in, but this may be the best Too Funk Tuesday yet. Check it out!
Blonde — All Cried Out
This track is special, one that has pop crossover appeal and can still make the house heads have a dance off. It has a slower vibe but Alex Newell’s vocals brings out an intense emotional appeal that Blonde truly capitalizes on with each drop. It has ringing piano bars, and deep synths that accentuate the driving bassline.

That’s Nice — Holiday (Keljet Remix)
If you didn’t know it already, Dutch producer Keljet is one of my favorites within the Nu Disco/Indie House genre and this track is a reason why. Taking the already energetic original and the beautiful vocals of Miami Horror’s Josh Moriarty, Keljet performs magic with this one. A very tropical feel, it exudes sunshine and dancing — one to play by the pool. If you’re in need of a feel good mood, this is the track to do it for you.

Breakbot — You Should Know (The Swiss Remix)
Now the funkiest man in dance music is easily Breakbot, and his album last year is the gospel for today’s Nu Disco. “You Should Know” was easily one of the best songs on the album and The Swiss have done something incredible with it — they made it even funkier. The BPM on this mix makes it dancefloor-ready and the incorporation of a kickslap, the piano solo and other background instrumentals makes it highly awesome, yet different. Definitely take a listen!

Marc Telein — Lights On (Doin It)
Although this came out about a year ago, this is definitely the track of the week. A deep-meets-Indie house track that is made for ears everywhere. It just makes you want to shimmy and shuffle your feet. Its naughty and romantic at the same time, a track made to bring the dancefloor to sensual levels — using the deep bass to incite massive love tremors. Enjoy!
