[Deep House] Andres Sierra – Why Do I (Still Love You)

Andres Sierra
Why Do I (Still Love You)

The Canadian artist Andres Sierra is making quite a splash on Spotify. He recently dropped his album House Arrest which contains the single “Why Do I (Still Love You)” that we have to share with you today.

The vocal driven single is deep and poppy, making it a memorable track that many people will find themselves singing along to. As far as house music goes, this one is a strong contender for radio play, even if we didn’t find ourselves at a point where dance music is taking over the airwaves. Each element in the track from the piano to the bassline and beyond are emotionally charged with the intent on connecting with you instantly. Given the vocal content, it’s not surprising there’s a lot of emotion packed into this one.

Bakermat feat. Kiesza – Don’t Want You Back (Castelle Remix) [TMN Premiere]


To help end the week we have a very special premiere for you in the dojo. Castelle comes through with an official remix of “Don’t Want You Back” by Bakermat and Kiesza. Summer may only have less than a month left, but that doesn’t mean we have to start making the transition just yet.

Castelle gets down with a strong remix that is all fun, no filler. His minimal style let’s Kiesza’s vocal still shine, but his catchy melodies are the highlight of the incredible remix. It accompanies two other projects on the remix EP, but we’re going to go ahead and let you know this is our favorite of the bunch. If you would like to get a copy and check out the other tracks, check the digital store of your choice!

[House] GKC Union – California

GKC Union
California

“California” is the debut single from the New York duo GKC Union. They honored the great state all the way from the East coast with their intriguing original. It’s not what you’d expect from a track with the name it has, but it’s a great song altogether.

The track has a sort of spacey edge to it that has me thinking NorCal instantly. Despite that, it shares elements that you may associate with SoCal, a more clubby, deep sound with subtle vocals that feel a bit beachy. “California” is a grand state, one of the United States’ biggest, and taking on a song for such a state isn’t easy, but GKC Union give us a great production that isn’t your typical tune.

Havoc & Lawn, Anderblast – Genesi [TMN Premiere]

Get your dancing shoes on, we’ve got a treat for you in the dojo. Havoc & Lawn alongside Anderblast created “Genesi” that will be released on SIZE Records. Together the duos join us in the dojo to premiere the song early.

“Genesi” is a club-friendly house record that has a classic sound to it. They no doubt take influence from the early warehouse rave days of dance music, but they also infuse a newer vibe that brings the style forward to contemporary times. With the best of both worlds, “Genesi” is a beast that we couldn’t pass up on. Have an early listen and make sure to grab a copy tomorrow when the song is out in full.

HONKA, Alex Alexander
Back Home

“Back Home” brings house music back to its home. Its home is a place where good music reigns supreme. No hype, no BS. HONKA and Alex Alexander put together a song that already sounds like a classic. Timeless music lives on forever and this is a piece of music that could do that.

Together these producers managed to create something catchy in all the right ways. They don’t ever come close to being cheesy, or refining things to a point to where they’re lifeless. In fact, things are just the opposite as this single has all the life you could want in a dance track. Surely it will get you up and dancing. Do yourself a favor and get a copy of it today from digital stores or add it to your playlists.
